WEISS, ET AL. V FCTI, INC.

SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO
Case No. 37-2024-00016908-CU-BT-NC

Welcome to the Settlement Website for the FCTI Class Action Settlement

IF YOU WERE ASSESSED FEES BY YOUR BANK FOR BALANCE INQUIRIES AT ATM MACHINES OWNED AND OPERATED BY FCTI, INC., WHICH ARE LOCATED AT 7-ELEVEN STORES, YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE MONETARY COMPENSATION FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.

Your legal rights are affected whether you act or not. Please read this website carefully.

A settlement (“Settlement”) has been reached in two class action lawsuits filed in California and New York. If the Court gives final approval of the Settlement, FCTI, Inc. (“FCTI”) will provide $10,000,000 in a Settlement Fund and you may be entitled to a portion of that Settlement Fund. The purpose of this Long Form Notice is to inform you of the Settlement so that you may decide what steps to take in relation to it.

YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS

If you are a New York Settlement Class Member or Nationwide Settlement Class Member, you must decide how you wish to handle the Settlement and exercise your options as detailed below, including meeting any associated deadline.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS
DEADLINE:

November 20, 2024
OBJECT

Challenge the Settlement
You may file a written objection telling the Court why you object to (i.e., don’t like) the Settlement and think it should not be approved. Submitting an objection does not exclude you from the Settlement.

November 20, 2024
GO TO THE FAIRNESS HEARING

Go to Court.
The Court will hold a “Fairness Hearing” to consider the Settlement, the request for attorneys’ fees and costs of the lawyers who brought the Action, and the Plaintiffs’ request for Service Awards for bringing the Action.
You may, but are not required to, speak at the Fairness Hearing about any objection you filed to the Settlement. If you intend to speak at the Fairness Hearing, you must also submit a “Notice of Intention to Appear” indicating your intent to do so.

Date and Time:

December 20, 2024 at 1:30 p.m.

These rights and options – and the deadlines to exercise them – are explained in more detail below. The Court has preliminarily approved the Settlement and must decide whether to give final approval of the Settlement. The relief provided to New York Settlement Class Members and Nationwide Settlement Class Members will be provided only if the Court gives final approval to the Settlement and, if there are any appeals, after the appeals are resolved in favor of the Settlement. Please be patient.
