DEFINITION OF THE CLASS. On , the Court preliminarily certified this lawsuit to proceed as a class action for the purposes of the proposed settlement. Michaels has agreed to certification of the Class for purposes of settlement only, and it denies that class certification would be appropriate if this lawsuit were to go forward toward trial. The Class is defined as: All persons who purchased custom framing products and/or services from one of Defendant’s stores in Ohio between January 1, 2009 and October 7, 2011, during a week where Defendant was advertising or promoting a discount for custom framing products and/or services. In a class action, one or more persons are appointed to represent the interests of all persons with similar claims or defenses. In this case, the Court appointed ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ to serve as the class representative. The Court also approved Plaintiff’s attorneys, the law firm of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Co., L.P.A., as Class Counsel to serve as attorneys for the Class. This Notice is being published solely for the purposes of: (i) informing you that this lawsuit is pending; (ii) informing you that the Court has certified the lawsuit to proceed as a class action for purposes of settlement; (iii) advising you that the parties have reached agreement on a proposed settlement, and explaining the terms of the proposed settlement and how you can make a claim; and (iv) advising you of your rights with respect to the proposed settlement. A settlement has been reached in this class action lawsuit. Michaels denies any wrongdoing or that it violated the law. The parties have settled the lawsuit, however, to avoid the costs and risks from continuing the lawsuit. Class Members who do not opt out of the settlement will be able to claim and receive a $32.50 cash-value certificate, which may be used at any Michaels retail store in Ohio. Class Members who do not opt out of the settlement (as described below) will relinquish their right to bring claims on their own behalf, including claims for monetary relief, and such Class Members will not be able to ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on the same or any related claims. The proposed settlement does not mean that any law was violated or that Michaels did anything wrong. Plaintiff and Class Counsel think the proposed settlement is fair and in the best interests of all Class Members.
