REGARDING OBJECTIONS TO FINAL APPROVAL OF THE SETTLEMENT ON MARCH 16, 2022. AT
THIS TIME, IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN THE APPEALS WILL BE DECIDED.

   September 18, 2018
 * Superseding and Amended Definitive Class Settlement Agreement Appendices A
   through J - Filed September 18, 2018

The district court granted final approval to a settlement of $5.54 billion in a
class action lawsuit, called In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant
Discount Antitrust Litigation, MDL 1720 (MKB) (JO). In January 2020, certain
merchants appealed the court’s order to the United States Court of Appeals for
the Second Circuit. The parties have filed written arguments with the appellate
court and the court heard oral argument on March 16, 2022. At this time, it is
unknown when the appeals will be decided.

The lawsuit is about claims that merchants paid excessive fees to accept Visa
and Mastercard cards because Visa and Mastercard, individually, and together
with their respective member banks, violated the antitrust laws.

The settlement creates the following Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class: All
persons, businesses, and other entities that have accepted any Visa-Branded
Cards and/or Mastercard-Branded Cards in the United States at any time from
January 1, 2004 to January 25, 2019, except that the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement
Class shall not include (a) the Dismissed Plaintiffs, (b) the United States
government, (c) the named Defendants in this Action or their directors,
officers, or members of their families, or (d) financial institutions that have
issued Visa-Branded Cards or Mastercard-Branded Cards or acquired Visa-Branded
Card transactions or Mastercard- Branded Card transactions at any time from
January 1, 2004 to January 25, 2019. The Dismissed Plaintiffs are plaintiffs
that previously settled and dismissed their own lawsuit against a Defendant, and
entities related to those plaintiffs. If you are uncertain about whether you may
be a Dismissed Plaintiff, you should call 1-800-625-6440 or view the list of
Dismissed Plaintiffs for more information.

The Notice has important information for merchants that accepted Visa and
Mastercard at any time since January 1, 2004. It explains the settlement in a
class action lawsuit. It also explains your rights and options in this case. The
court also issued a “Notice of Exclusion” to the Dismissed Plaintiffs and an
additional notice to those merchants explaining their right to file claims when
claim forms become available.

For the full terms of the Settlement, you should look at the Superseding and
Amended Definitive Class Settlement Agreement of the Rule 23(b)(3) Class
Plaintiffs and the Defendants and its Appendices (the “Class Settlement
Agreement”), available here or by calling 1-800-625-6440. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of the Notice or this website and the Class
Settlement Agreement, the terms of the Class Settlement Agreement shall control.

Please check this website for any updates relating to the settlement or the
settlement approval process.

Current Status

The settlement received final approval by the district court and is currently on

provided as they become available.
