BASIC INFORMATION
The Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama authorized the Notice. You have a right to know about the proposed Settlement of this class action lawsuit, and about all of your options, before the Court decides whether to grant final approval of the Settlement. The Notice explains the lawsuit, your legal rights, what benefits are available, and who can receive them.
The lawsuit is called Jevon Worrell v. Robbie D. Wood, Inc., Case No. 68-CV-2025-900681.00. It is pending in the Tenth Judicial Circuit in and for Jefferson County, Alabama. The person who filed this lawsuit is called the “Plaintiff” (or “Class Representative”) and the company they sued, Robbie D. Wood, Inc., is called the “Defendant.”
This lawsuit alleges that during the October 2024 targeted cyberattack on Robbie D. Wood’s computer systems, certain files that contained personal information were accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as names, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, financial account information, medical information, and Social Security numbers.
In a class action, one or more individuals sue on behalf of other people with similar claims. These individuals are called the “Plaintiffs” or “Class Representatives.” Together, the people included in the class action are called a “Class” or “Class Members.” One court resolves the lawsuit for all Class Members, except for those who opt out from the settlement. In this Settlement, the Class Representative is Jevon Worrell.
The Court did not decide whether the Plaintiff or the Defendant are right. Both sides have agreed to a Settlement to avoid the costs and risks of a trial, and to allow the Class Members to receive benefits from the Settlement. The Plaintiff and his attorney think the Settlement is best for all Settlement Class Members
WHO IS IN THE SETTLEMENT?
The court has defined the Class this way: “All individuals residing in the United States whose Personal Information was compromised in the Data Breach discovered by Robbie D. Wood in October 2024, including all those individuals who received notice of the breach.”
Yes. Excluded from the Settlement Class are (i) Defendant (ii) all Settlement Class Members who timely and validly request exclusion from the Settlement Class; and (iii) any judges assigned to this case and their staff and family.

THE SETTLEMENT BENEFITS
Robbie D. Wood has agreed to pay for a number of different benefits. Class Members may claim benefits from any or all applicable categories—Credit Monitoring and Documented Losses—or, instead of any other benefit option, may claim an Alternative Cash Payment. The benefits are explained in more detail below.
CREDIT MONITORING. All Class Members are eligible to enroll in two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete. This comprehensive service comes with $1 million of identity theft insurance, and includes monitoring for:
•fraud or identity theft
•unauthorized financial transactions
•personal information associated with high-risk transactions
If anything suspicious happens, you will be able to talk to a fraud resolution agent to help fix any problems.
COMPENSATION FOR DOCUMENTED LOSSES. If you incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses due to the Data Breach, you can get back up to $5,000.00. The losses must have occurred between October 1, 2024, and August 5, 2026.
This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
• losses because of identity theft or fraud
• fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit that were incurred on or after February 11, 2025
• cost to replace your IDs
• postage to contact banks by mail
• accountant fees and other out-of-pocket expenses related to tax-issues
You need to send proof, like bank statements or receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. You can also send notes or papers you made yourself to explain or support other proof, but those notes or papers alone are not enough to make a valid claim. Your proof or notes should show that your expenses were more likely than not caused by the Data Breach.
You cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party.
ALTERNATIVE CASH PAYMENT. Instead of reimbursement for Documented Losses, you may claim a one-time cash payment of $65.00. If you choose this option, you may not claim Documented Losses. You may also claim Credit Monitoring. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation to claim this payment.

The Service Award payment will also be paid by Robbie D. Wood separate and apart from the Settlement Benefits to Class Members.
EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT
If you do not want to be part of the Settlement, you must formally exclude yourself from the Settlement. This is called a Request for Exclusion, and is sometimes also called “opting out.” If you opt out, you will not receive Settlement benefits or payment. However, you will keep any rights you may have to sue Robbie D. Wood on your own about the legal issues in this case.
If you exclude yourself, you are telling the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement. You will not be eligible to receive any Settlement benefits if you exclude yourself.
The deadline to exclude yourself from the Settlement is July 6, 2026.
To be valid, your Request for Exclusion must have the following information:
1) the name of the Litigation, Jevon Worrell v. Robbie D. Wood, Inc., Case No. 68-CV-2025-900681.00;
2) your full name and current mailing address;
3) personal signature; and
4) the words “Request for Exclusion” or a clear and similar statement that you do not want to participate in the Settlement.
You may only exclude yourself—not any other person.
Mail your Request for Exclusion to the Settlement Administrator at:

Your Request for Exclusion must be submitted or postmarked by July 6, 2026.
COMMENTING ON OR OBJECTING TO THE SETTLEMENT
If you are a Class Member and do not like part or all of the Settlement, you can object to it. Objecting means telling the Court your reasons for why you think the Court should not approve the Settlement. The Court will consider your views.
You cannot object if you have excluded yourself from the Settlement (see Question 15).
You must provide the following information for the Court to consider your objection:
1) the name of the Litigation: Jevon Worrell v. Robbie D. Wood, Inc., Case No. 68-CV-2025-900681.00, pending in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama;
2) your full name and current mailing address;
3) a statement that states with specificity the grounds for the objection, as well as any documents supporting the objection;
4) the identity of any attorneys representing the objector;
5) a statement regarding whether the Settlement Class Member (or his/her attorney) intends to appear at the Final Approval Hearing;
6) a list of all other lawsuits (if any) in which you and/or your attorney has submitted an objection to a class action settlement within the last three (3) years;
7) your signature (or, if you have hired your own lawyer, your lawyer’s signature).
For your objection to be valid, it must meet each of these requirements. To be considered by the Court, you must file your objection with the Clerk of Court by July 6, 2026. You must also send a copy of the objection to the Settlement Administrator by July 6, 2026.

Objecting is telling the Court that you do not like something about the Settlement. You can object to the Settlement only if you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement. Excluding yourself from the Settlement is opting out and stating to the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement. If you opt out of the Settlement, you cannot object to it because the Settlement no longer affects you.
THE COURT’S FINAL APPROVAL HEARING
The Court will hold a final approval hearing on August 18, 2026 at 9:30 A.M. Central Time, in Room 340 of the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, at 1851 2nd Ave. N., Bessemer, AL 35020.
At the final approval hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement. The court will also decide how much Class Counsel should be paid, and whether to award Service Award payment to the Class Representative. The Court will also consider any objections to the Settlement.
If you are a Class Member, you or your lawyer may ask permission to speak at the hearing at your own cost (see Question 16).
The date and time and location of this hearing may change without further notice. Please check HERE for updates.
No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. You may attend at your own expense if you wish, but you do not have to.
If you file an objection, you do not have to come to the Final Approval Hearing to talk about it; the Court will consider it as long as it was filed on time. You may also pay your own lawyer to attend, but you do not have to.
IF I DO NOTHING
If you do nothing, you will not receive a benefit from this Settlement.
You will also give up the rights described in Question 8.
