A Court has authorized this Settlement Website. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. The information provided on this Settlement Website may affect your rights. Please read it carefully.&nbsp;If your Private Information was potentially accessible as a result of the Data Incident involving GardaWorld Cash between October 30, 2023, and November 16, 2023, you may be entitled to benefits from a Settlement.&nbsp;<ul><li>This Settlement Website is made in conjunction with the resolution of the class action lawsuit (“Action”) against Garda CL Southeast, Inc., Garda CL Great Lakes, Inc., Garda CL Central, Inc., Garda CL Southwest, Inc., and Gardaworld Cascourth Services, Inc. d/b/a Gardaworld Cash U.S. (collectively, “Defendant” or “GardaWorld Cash”). The Lawsuit arose out of a cybersecurity incident (“Data Incident”) that Defendant identified in November 2023 in which the Private Information of Settlement Class Members, which may have included names, addresses, Social Security Numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, health insurance and benefit information, and medical information, was potentially accessible. A $1.5 million Settlement was reached to resolve the Lawsuit. Defendant denies the allegations and any misconduct and states that it complied with the law at all times and took swift action to address and mitigate the Data Incident. Nevertheless, Defendant highly values its employees and has chosen to settle this matter and make Settlement payments to its employees and former employees instead of incurring further disruption and expense in this litigation. Defendant has not admitted to any liability by entering into this Settlement. &nbsp;</li><li>The Settlement Class includes all living individuals residing in the United States who Defendant sent or attempted to send a notice that their Private Information may have been impacted by the Data Incident. The Defendant sent the initial notice around March 22, 2024. &nbsp;</li><li>If you are a Settlement Class Member, you may be able to receive the following Settlement Class Member Benefits:&nbsp;</li></ul>Cash Payment A: &nbsp;You may submit a timely and valid Claim Form and provide supporting documentation showing that you spent money or incurred losses related to the Data Incident for up to $15,000 per person.ORCash Payment B: Instead of selecting Cash Payment A and providing supporting documentation, you may choose to receive a flat Cash Payment with no documentation for an estimated amount of $150.ANDCredit Monitoring: In addition to a Cash Payment, you may also select to receive up to three (3) years of three-bureau Credit Monitoring.<ul><li>Your Cash Payment may be subject to a pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) adjustment increase from the Settlement Fund if the amount of Valid Claims is insufficient to exhaust the entire Settlement Fund. Similarly, in the event the amount of Valid Claims exhausts the amount of the Settlement Fund, the amount of Cash Payments may be reduced pro rata accordingly. &nbsp;</li></ul><figure class="table" style="width:90%;"><table class="ck-table-resized" style="border-style:solid;"><colgroup><col style="width:22.83%;"><col style="width:44.03%;"><col style="width:33.14%;"></colgroup><thead><tr><th style="background-color:hsl(0, 0%, 0%);border-style:solid;" colspan="3">&nbsp;</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="background-color:hsl(0, 0%, 90%);border-color:hsl(0, 0%, 0%);border-style:solid;vertical-align:top;">SUBMIT A&nbsp; CLAIM FORM&nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td style="border-color:hsl(0, 0%, 0%);border-style:solid;vertical-align:top;">The only way to get Settlement benefits is to submit a&nbsp;timely and valid Claim Form.</td><td style="border-color:hsl(0, 0%, 0%);border-style:solid;vertical-align:top;">Submitted or Postmarked: August 26, 2025</td></tr><tr><td style="background-color:hsl(0, 0%, 90%);border-color:hsl(0, 0%, 0%);border-style:solid;vertical-align:top;">EXCLUDE YOURSELF OR OPT-OUT</td><td style="border-color:hsl(0, 0%, 0%);border-style:solid;vertical-align:top;">Get no Settlement Class Member Benefits.
