Final Approval Hearing

•    This Notice concerns the cases Elgindy et al. v. AGA Service Co. et al.,
No. 4:20-cv-06304 (U.S. District Court, Northern District of California) (the
“Elgindy Action”) and Tasakos v. AGA Service Co. et al., No. 2:22-cv-00433 (U.S.
District Court, Western District of Washington) (the “Tasakos Action”)
(collectively, the “Actions”).

•    This class action settlement (the “Settlement”) will resolve the Actions
against AGA Service Company (d/b/a Allianz Global Assistance), Jefferson
Insurance Company, and BCS Insurance Company (collectively, “Defendants”). In
the Actions, Plaintiffs allege that Defendants’ sales were unlawful, unfair,
and/or deceptive because the plan prices for Defendants’ Travel and/or Event
Protection Plans include Assistance Fees for “non-insurance assistance
services.” Defendants deny any wrongdoing. They contend that they have complied
with the law in all respects regarding Assistance Fees collected in relation to
the assistance services included with Defendants’ protection plans.

•    To settle the Actions on behalf of all Defendants, AGA has agreed to
provide a Settlement Fund for Cash Payments to affected Class Members. 

•    The lawyers who brought the lawsuit have asked the Court to set aside some
of the Settlement Amount for reimbursement of their out-of-pocket expenses, up
to a maximum of $205,000, and up to 25% of the Settlement Amount in attorneys’
fees for investigating the facts, litigating the case, and negotiating the
Settlement. They have also asked for $5,000 as an Incentive Award for each of
the Plaintiffs who brought the Actions. If the Court approves these requests,
these amounts would be paid to Plaintiffs and the lawyers out of the Settlement
Fund.

•    Your legal rights may be affected whether or not you act. Read the Notice
carefully. 

The Notice summarizes the proposed Settlement. For the precise terms and
conditions of the Settlement, please see the Settlement Agreement available
here, or contact the Settlement Administrator at Assistance Fee Settlement
Administrator, 1650 Arch Street, Suite 2210, Philadelphia, PA 19103 or by email
info@assistancefeesettlement.com or by telephone at 1-844-665-0015.

Please do not telephone the Court of the Court Clerk's office to inquire about
this settlement or the claim process.
