Maple Leaf Foods Class Action Settlement

ALL OF THE CHEQUES WERE MAILED IN THE AFTERNOON OF FRIDAY FEBRUARY 3, 2012.

We require that as long as 6 weeks be allowed for Canada Post to deliver cheques.

Cheque cashing deadline! All cheques will become VOID if they are not cashed within 6 months of the date printed. The DEADLINE for cashing all cheques is August 1, 2012, NO exceptions. If a claimant fails to cash our cheque before August 1, 2012, you will lose your compensation payment, meaning that the money will no longer be payable to the claimant.

93.04% = PRO RATA REDUCTION TO ALL ENTITLEMENTS Due to the high volume and value of claims approved for payment from the fixed settlement fund, a pro rata reduction was ordered by the Courts. Practically speaking, this means that every approved claimant will be paid 93.04% of the amount indicated in our Decision Letter or awarded by the Arbitrator.

TELEPHONE SERVICE : Live answer toll free telephone service will discontinue Friday February 3, 2012. We will only return messages in cases where a claimant is having difficulty cashing a cheque.

This class action has come to its conclusion.

We thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
Maple Leaf Claims Administrator
