• The settlement resolves a lawsuit involving allegations that Penn sent prerecorded voicemail messages to class members in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
• Court-appointed lawyers for the class (“Class Counsel”) will ask the Court for up to thirty percent (30%) of the settlement fund as fees and to reimburse them for the out-of-pocket expenses they paid to investigate the facts, litigate the case, and negotiate the settlement.
• Penn denies all allegations of wrongdoing in the lawsuit. As part of the proposed settlement, Penn does not admit to any wrongdoing and continues to deny the allegations against it.
• The two sides disagree on whether Plaintiff and the class could have won at trial.
• Your legal rights are affected whether you act, or don’t act. Read this Notice carefully.
