GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
-
Authorized Claimant: This Claim Form must be
electronically signed and verified by the claimant or a person authorized to
act on behalf of the claimant.
-
Third-Party Solicitors: There are companies that may
contact Class Members upon learning of a pending class action distribution and
offer to help Class Members file claim forms in exchange for a share of the
money that the Class Members may ultimately recover or other compensation.
Please be advised that you do not need to use one of these companies in order
to file a Claim Form. Assistance is available from the Claims Administrator at
no cost to you.
-
Verification: The Claims Administrator will verify the
information you submit in your Claim Form by comparing it to an electronic
database of Defendants' OSB sales. The Claims Administrator may ask you to
provide supporting information. If you fail to provide such requested
information, your claim may be delayed, reduced, or denied.
-
Claims of Single Entities: Even if you belong to
more than one of the classes described in the Notice, you need only submit one
Claim Form. The Claims Administrator will determine the classes in which you
qualify and the settlements from which you will receive proceeds.
-
Claims of Entities Owned by You: If you own the
majority of an entity, including a subsidiary or affiliate, that purchased OSB
from Defendants and seek to obtain settlement proceeds as a result of those
purchases, you must identify that entity in Part 1 of this Claim Form and list
that entity's OSB purchases in Parts 2 and 3 of this Claim Form. Entities
majority-owned by you should NOT submit separate Claim Forms. Owning the
majority of an entity includes owning the majority of shares, partnership
interests, corporate interests or other ownership interests of the entity.
-
Assistance: If you have questions about your
claim, you may contact the Claims Administrator at the above address or at
1-800-760-6408. You may also contact your own attorney or other person to
assist you, at your own expense.
-
Print a Copy: Please print a copy of your
confirmation page and retain for your records as this will certify that you
submitted your claim prior to the deadline.
-
Changes of Address: Keep the Claims Administrator
advised of any change in your current mailing address.
-
Buying Groups: For group buying organizations and
their members that purchased OSB structural panel products from any Defendant,
you will be considered a direct purchaser if you are either: (1) a member who
has a significant ownership interest in or functional control over their
organizations; or (2) if no member has such interest or control, the
organizations themselves is the class member.
