WHAT DOES THE SETTLEMENT PROVIDE?

A proposed settlement (“Settlement”) has been reached in a class action lawsuit with Pfizer, Inc., Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc., and King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (n/k/a King Pharmaceuticals LLC) (together, “Pfizer”). Under the settlement, Pfizer agreed to pay $50,000,000 into a settlement fund for the Direct Purchaser Settlement Class (“Settlement Fund”). The lawsuit alleges that Defendants Mylan, N.V., Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Mylan Specialty, LP (together, “Mylan”), and Pfizer entered into an illegal market allocation agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. that substantially delayed the launch of generic EpiPen and unlawfully extended Pfizer’s and Mylan’s monopoly over the epinephrine autoinjector market. The settlement does not resolve claims against Mylan, and the lawsuit against Mylan will continue until it is resolved. The Court has not decided who is right.

 

WHO IS INCLUDED?

People or entities who purchased EpiPen® or generic EpiPen directly from Mylan or Teva, for resale, at any time during the period from March 13, 2014, until the date on which the Court entered the Preliminary Approval Order, April 3, 2024.

 

Excluded from the Class are Defendants and their officers, directors, management, employees, predecessors, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and all federal governmental entities.

 

HOW CAN YOU GET A PAYMENT?

If you are a member of the Class, you must submit a claim form online at www.EpiPenDPPSettlement.com or by mail to get paid. This is the only way to receive a payment.

 

You may have received a claim form. If not, a claim form is available at www.EpiPenDPPSettlement.com. See the claim form for instructions on how to submit a claim. If the Court approves the Settlement, claims will be paid after any appeals are resolved.

 

The deadline to postmark or submit your claim online at www.EpiPenDPPSettlement.com or by email to info@EpiPenDPPSettlement.com is July 24, 2024.

YOUR OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS

OBJECT

You may write to the Court about why you do not like the Settlement, the request for attorneys’ fees, reimbursement of expenses and costs, and service awards, and/or the plan of allocation. If you object to the Settlement, you are still a member of the Class and you must file a claim to receive a payment. Objections must be filed with the Court and received by the parties on or before May 28, 2024.

OPT OUT

You may write to the Settlement Administrator and exclude yourself from the Class. Exclusion allows you to file your own lawsuit. If you exclude yourself, you will not receive any payment and will not be bound by the releases contained in the Settlement. The exclusion deadline is May 28, 2024.

DO

NOTHING

If you do nothing, you will not receive any payment. You will still be a Class member, and therefore you will be bound by the releases contained in the Settlement and will not be able to file or continue to pursue your own lawsuit.

    
 

The Court scheduled a final approval hearing for June 25, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time to consider whether the settlement and plan of allocation are fair, reasonable, and adequate, as well as any objections to the settlement, the plan of allocation, and any request for attorneys’ fees, reimbursement of expenses and costs, and service awards. You do not need to attend, but you or your attorney can do so at your own expense.
