Remove yourself from the Litigation Class.  You will not be bound by the outcome of any trial or judgment.  You will keep your right to sue, or to continue to sue, the Non-Settling Defendants on your own for the claims in this case.  Class Counsel will no longer represent your interests in this litigation.

You will not receive payment from the litigation with the Non-Settling Defendants.

Each of the Non-Settling Defendants may be held jointly and severally liable for the conduct of every other Non-Settling Defendant, Bumble Bee, and Settling Defendants, if each or any of the Non-Settling Defendants is found liable for the alleged claims.

(PASSED)

You may stay in the Litigation Class even if you have resolved your claims with any of the Non-Settling Defendants and released them from liability. However, you must advise the settlement administrator of the entities with which you have released your claims, or you may be in breach of your settlement agreement. To the extent that any of the Non-Settling Defendants that you have not released from liability are found to have participated in the collusive conduct described below, those entities are jointly and severally liable for any damages proven at trial. If you stay in the Litigation Class, but believe that you have released one or more of the Non-Settling Defendants your claims, you must notify the claims administrator of the Non-Settling Defendants that you have released in a writing postmarked by the Exclusion deadline. If you want advice about your options, please contact the Notice Administrator or Class Counsel.
