<i><strong>Edward R. Flynn, et. al., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company a/k/a M&T Bank </strong> </i>
<p>Case No. 2:17-cv-04806-WB</p>

<strong>You may be entitled to receive a settlement payment and other valuable benefits in connection with a class action against M&T Bank.</strong>
</p>
</div>
<p>• The parties have reached a proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) in the above referenced matter. This Settlement, if approved by the Court, will resolve a class action lawsuit against Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, also known
as M&T Bank (“M&T Bank”), over whether M&T Bank complied with the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), independently, and in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act (MVSFA) relating to notices
that must be sent to car loan borrowers after their vehicle was repossessed (“Post-Repossession Consumer Disclosure Notices”) and after the repossessed vehicle was sold (“Post-Sale Notices”). The relevant time period for the Settlement is
from September 22, 2011 through the Preliminary Approval Date (the date the Judge entered a Preliminary Approval Order), inclusive.</p>
<p>• Under the Settlement, M&T Bank will provide a gross settlement payment of $7.0 million to a Settlement Fund to be used to pay (i) a settlement payment to Class Members, (ii) administrative costs, (iii) class counsel’s legal fees and
costs, and (iv) an incentive payment to the representative Plaintiffs and one former representative Plaintiff.</p>
<p>• M&T Bank will also compromise the Disputed Deficiency Balances that it claims are presently owed on the Class Members’ Auto Loans (subject to the exclusions below). As of July 18, 2022, the total amount of the deficiency balances of
all Class Members (excluding only the loan balances for those Class Members whose vehicles have not been sold as of July 18, 2022) is $42,228,253.43. M&T Bank will also request that the credit reporting agencies Experian, TransUnion,
and Equifax delete the credit reporting trade lines associated with the Class Members’ Auto Loans with M&T Bank (except those Class Members who redeemed their vehicle and/or reinstated their account after repossession and whose vehicle
was not subsequently repossessed and sold again prior to the Effective Date.)</p>
<p>• In exchange, M&T Bank and each Class Member will release each other from liability (or potential liability), in connection with the Class Member’s Auto Loan, as more fully set forth in the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement
Agreement can be reviewed by clicking on the link below, by reviewing the pleadings at <a href="https://www.pacer.gov">www.pacer.gov</a>, or by requesting a copy from Class Counsel Richard Shenkan and Shenkan Injury Lawyers, LLC. You may
