Cencora/The Lash Group - Data Security Incident Settlement

THIS SETTLEMENT MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS. PLEASE REVIEW THE INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE CAREFULLY.

• A proposed class action Settlement arising out of a Data Security Incident has been reached with Cencora, Inc. and The Lash Group, LLC and their affiliates (“Cencora”). On or about February 27, 2024, Cencora filed a Form 8-K Report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission publicly disclosing that it had learned that data from its information systems had been improperly accessed by unknown parties, some of which may contain Personal Information (the “Incident”). Following an investigation of the Incident, Cencora determined that certain Personal Information regarding individuals had been compromised. Cencora identified such individuals and provided notice to them as required by law or as otherwise appropriate under the circumstances. Personal Information may include names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security Numbers, health and insurance information, financial information (including financial account information, compensation information, and payment information), transactional information of any sort, consumer profile information, racial or ethnic identity, political opinions, sexual orientation or identity, criminal history, IP addresses or other electronic identifiers, fingerprint or other biometric information, genetic information, trade union membership, and driver’s license and passport information.
   
• The Settlement provides a $40,000,000 Settlement Fund and enhanced data and information security measures taken by Cencora since the Incident. The Settlement Class includes all individuals and other persons who reside in the United States and its territories whose Personal Information was involved in the Incident, and who received mailed notice of the Incident or substitute notice of the Incident through Cencora’s website and/or a media press release (“Incident Notice”) or who were on “Inquiry Notice” because of circumstances occurring on or after September 1, 2023 through August 5, 2025, suggesting that an individual is aware of harm potentially arising from the unauthorized use of the individual’s Personal Information, such as receipt of an unexpected explanation of benefits statement or a fraud alert from a bank, that upon inquiry, would have caused the individual to determine that the harm may have been caused by the Incident.
   
• Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (1) the Judge(s) presiding over the Action and members of their immediate families and their staff; (2) Cencora, its subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, predecessors, and any entity in which Cencora or its parents have a controlling interest, and any current or former members of Cencora’s Executive Leadership Team, Executive Management Committee, or Board of Directors. However, any other current or former employees of Cencora or any of its affiliates to whom Cencora provided Incident Notice and whose Personal Information was involved in the Incident are included in the Settlement Class; and (3) Persons who properly execute and submit a valid Request for Exclusion prior to the expiration of the Exclusion Deadline of December 18, 2025.
   
• If you are a Class Member, you may be able to receive ONE of the following cash Settlement Benefits: 
  
  Documented Loss Payment: You may submit a timely and valid Claim Form and provide supporting Reasonable Documentation that you incurred losses or unreimbursed expenses on or after September 1, 2023, and up to the Claims Deadline, January 19, 2026, related to the Incident for up to $5,000, subject to a cap of $5,000,000 for all Documented Loss Payments; OR
  
  Cash Fund Payment: Instead of selecting a Documented Loss Payment and providing Reasonable Documentation, you may choose to submit a Claim Form either through the Settlement Website or by mail to receive a cash payment with no documentation. The amount of your Cash Fund Payment depends on the number of Approved Claims for Cash Fund Payments and how much of the Settlement Fund remains after payment of Approved Claims for Documented Loss Payments, any Court-approved attorneys’ Fee Award and Costs, Service Awards to the Class Representatives, reasonable escrow fees, Taxes due on any interest earned by the Settlement Fund, and Administrative Expenses for Notice and Settlement administration costs.
  
  In the event you choose to submit a Claim Form for a Documented Loss Payment, but your claim is incomplete or otherwise defective after being given an opportunity to correct the deficiencies, the Settlement Administrator will reject the claim and it will instead be considered as a claim for a Cash Fund Payment, provided you are a member of the Settlement Class.
   
• Your legal rights will be affected whether you act or do not act. You should read this entire Settlement Website carefully.
