  • The Court has appointed the Plaintiffs to represent the Settlement Class and its attorneys as Class Counsel. This is a partial settlement of the Lawsuit and does not settle any claims against any other Defendants in the Lawsuit.
  • If you received a Notice by U.S. Mail it is because records produced in the Lawsuit indicate you may be a member of the Settlement Class. If you did not receive a Notice by U.S. Mail, but believe you are a Settlement Class Member, you should complete a contact form on this website so that you can directly receive future communications about the Settlement and a Claim Form, and to receive communications about any future settlements or other significant developments in the Lawsuit.
  • The purpose of the Notice is to advise members of the Settlement Class of the proposed Lafarge Settlement and how to assert any rights you may have under the Settlement.  It is also intended to advise you of a hearing to consider the proposed Settlement on September 16, 2025. The Court must decide whether to approve the Settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. 
  • If you are a member of the Settlement Class (a “Class Member”), your legal rights are affected whether you act or choose not to act.  Please read the Notice carefully.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS (YOU MUST CHOOSE AMONG ONE OF THESE OPTIONS)

These rights and options–and the deadlines to exercise them–are explained in this Notice.

DO NOTHING

If you choose to do nothing, you will remain eligible to receive any payments from the Lafarge Settlement that are approved by the Court.  This will result in a release of any right you may have to pursue the legal claims brought, or which could have been brought in this case, against Lafarge based on direct purchases from the Subject Plants during the Class Period. If you choose to do nothing, and the Lafarge Settlement is approved by the Court, you will be required to submit a Claim Form to receive money from the Settlement.

EXCLUDE YOURSELF

Deadline: August 4, 2025

You may exclude yourself from the Lafarge Settlement, in which case you will not be eligible to receive any payments from the Lafarge Settlement that are approved by the Court, or to comment on the Lafarge Settlement. This is the only option that allows you to be part of any other lawsuit against Lafarge about the legal claims brought or which could be brought in this case.

OBJECT

Deadline: August 4, 2025

Write to the Court if you do not think the Lafarge Settlement is fair.  If you exclude yourself from the Lafarge Settlement, you may not object.

GO TO A HEARING

The final approval hearing is set for September 16, 2025 at 10 a.m.

If you object, you may also ask to speak in Court about the fairness of the Lafarge Settlement.
