&nbsp;IF YOU WERE A PATIENT OF A LUXOTTICA-OWNED OR AFFILIATED EYE CARE PRACTICE LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES, You May Be Eligible For Benefits From A Class Action Settlement.This is not a solicitation from a lawyer, junk mail, or an advertisement.&nbsp;A Court authorized this website.&nbsp;This case is known as In re Luxottica of America Inc. Data Security Breach Litigation,&nbsp;Case No. 1:20-cv-00908-MRB, filed in the United States District Court District of Ohio (the “Litigation”). The judge is the Honorable Michael R. Barrett.&nbsp;The&nbsp;Persons who&nbsp;sued&nbsp;are&nbsp;called&nbsp;the&nbsp;“Plaintiffs”&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;company they&nbsp;sued,&nbsp;Luxottica&nbsp;of America&nbsp;Inc.,&nbsp;is&nbsp;known&nbsp;as&nbsp;the&nbsp;“Defendant”&nbsp;in&nbsp;this&nbsp;case.&nbsp;Luxottica&nbsp;is&nbsp;referred to as “Defendant” or “Luxottica” in this Notice.&nbsp;A proposed settlement has been reached in the Litigation.&nbsp;&nbsp;This Litigation arises from an unauthorized person gaining access on August 5-9, 2020, to an eye appointment scheduling application used by certain Luxottica eyecare brands. Optometrists affiliated with Luxottica, provide eye care through LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, and Target Optical. Plaintiffs claim that an unauthorized person may have accessed their personal identifiable information (“PII”) and personal health information (“PHI”) (the “Data Incident”). Luxottica disagrees with Plaintiffs’ claims and denies any wrongdoing.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Settlement Class consists of patients or customers of Luxottica-owned or –affiliated eyecare practices whose PII and/or PHI may have been impacted in the Data Incident.&nbsp; Settlement benefits will be allocated based on the types of PII and/or PHI that Luxottica determined were potentially impacted: (1) Settlement Class Members whose Social Security numbers and/or financial data were potentially impacted in the Data Incident may be eligible to apply for Category One benefits; and (2) Settlement Class Members whose Social Security numbers and/or financial data were not impacted in the Data Incident may be eligible to apply for Category Two benefits.&nbsp; A Settlement Class Member may make a claim under Category One or Category Two but not both.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Court in charge of this case must still decide whether to approve the settlement, including Settlement Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and service awards for the Representative Plaintiffs. No benefits will be provided until the Court approves the settlement and it becomes Final.&nbsp;<figure class="table" style="width:93.47%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:21.02%;"><col style="width:78.98%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="background-color:#BFBFBF;border:1.0pt solid windowtext;padding:4.3pt 5.75pt;width:494.75pt;" colspan="2">Your Legal Rights and Options in this Settlement</td></tr><tr><td style="background-color:#BFBFBF;border-bottom-style:solid;border-color:windowtext;border-left-style:solid;border-right-style:solid;border-top-style:none;border-width:1.0pt;height:37.05pt;padding:4.3pt 5.75pt;width:130.25pt;">Submit a Claim&nbsp;Form</td><td style="border-bottom:1.0pt solid windowtext;border-left-style:none;border-right:1.0pt solid windowtext;border-top-style:none;height:37.05pt;padding:4.3pt 5.75pt;width:364.5pt;">You must submit a Valid Claim to receive settlement benefits.&nbsp;Claim Forms&nbsp;must be submitted&nbsp;online by&nbsp;January 2, 2025, or,&nbsp;if mailed, postmarked&nbsp;no later than January 2, 2025.</td></tr><tr><td style="background-color:#BFBFBF;border-bottom-style:solid;border-color:windowtext;border-left-style:solid;border-right-style:solid;border-top-style:none;border-width:1.0pt;padding:4.3pt 5.75pt;width:130.25pt;">Do&nbsp;Nothing</td><td style="border-bottom:1.0pt solid windowtext;border-left-style:none;border-right:1.0pt solid windowtext;border-top-style:none;padding:4.3pt 5.75pt;width:364.5pt;">If&nbsp;you&nbsp;do&nbsp;nothing,&nbsp;you&nbsp;remain&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;settlement.You&nbsp;give&nbsp;up&nbsp;your&nbsp;rights to&nbsp;sue&nbsp;and you&nbsp;will&nbsp;not&nbsp;get&nbsp;any money.</td></tr><tr><td style="background-color:#BFBFBF;border-bottom-style:solid;border-color:windowtext;border-left-style:solid;border-right-style:solid;border-top-style:none;border-width:1.0pt;padding:4.3pt 5.75pt;width:130.25pt;">Exclude Yourself (“Opt-Out”)</td><td style="border-bottom:1.0pt solid windowtext;border-left-style:none;border-right:1.0pt solid windowtext;border-top-style:none;padding:4.3pt 5.75pt;width:364.5pt;">Get&nbsp;out&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;settlement.&nbsp;Get no&nbsp;money.&nbsp;Keep&nbsp;your&nbsp;rights.This&nbsp;is&nbsp;the only&nbsp;option&nbsp;that allows&nbsp;you&nbsp;to&nbsp;keep&nbsp;your right&nbsp;to&nbsp;sue about&nbsp;the&nbsp;claims in this Litigation.
