IERP CLAIM FORM INSTRUCTIONS

CLAIM DEADLINE: November 12th, 2026

The deadline to submit a Claims Form will be no earlier than November 12, 2026, which is 90 days from the expiration of the time to appeal any final order of the court, assuming such order is entered on July 15, 2026 (the anticipated date of the Final Approval Hearing). However, class members should refer to the website at ierpsettlement.com for updated information about the final date to submit claims.

Please read the instructions carefully before filling out this Claim Form (this "Claim Form"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") in Kinlaw v. Sackler, et al., Case No. 1:25-CV-00918 available on the settlement website at www.ierpsettlement.com. Each person or entity making a Claim ("Claimant") must submit a separate Claim Form.

1. Complete the Claim Form electronically, which is a fillable PDF that can be downloaded from www.ierpsettlement.com and must be emailed to info@ierpsettlement.com;
2. Once the Claim Form is received, the Claim Administrator(s) will communicate instructions to you for accessing a secure file transfer protocol ("SFTP"); and
3. Submit all supporting documents and information requested therein, along with the requisite claims data as described in Section F. of the Claim Form, via SFTP.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ACCOMPANYING CLAIMS DATA SHALL NOT BE SUBMITTED VIA EMAIL. Instead, by submitting the Claims Form described in Item 1 above, you will receive instructions for accessing an SFTP to which accompanying requisite claims data must be submitted.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS FULLY AND ACCURATELY. FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE REQUESTED INFORMATION, DATA, AND/OR DOCUMENTATION BY THE DEADLINE WILL CAUSE YOUR CLAIM TO BE REJECTED AND YOU WILL BE PRECLUDED FROM RECEIVING AN ALLOCATED AMOUNT.

To be eligible to make a Claim, the Claimant must satisfy the following:

revenue collection were entirely separate from the billing and revenue collection practices of the medical facility at which such ER Physician practiced, and such ER Physician was not employed by such medical facility; who treated patients with opioid use disorder (who were either uninsured or underinsured), at any time, since 1996 through the present. The Settlement seeks to provide an Allocated Amount to IERPs who qualify as Class Members, for use towards OUD Abatement Purposes. Unclaimed Settlement Funds will be used for OUD Abatement Purposes.

A Claimant that submits a Claim Form may be contacted by representatives of Class Counsel or by the Claims Administrator(s) for additional information regarding the Class Member's claims. The submission of this Claim Form by the claim deadline of 5:00 p.m., on November 12th 2026 (the "Claim Deadline") is a prerequisite to eligibility for an Allocated Amount but does not guarantee that a Class Member will be deemed eligible to receive an Allocated Amount for abatement purposes. If a Class Member is deemed eligible to receive an Allocated Amount, the information provided in this Claim Form will be used to determine each such Allocated Amount. Class Members may redact information on this Claim Form or any attached documents as they deem necessary, although redactions may impact the Claim Administrators' determinations as to eligibility or the Allocated Amount. A Class Member shall only submit through the Secure File Transfer Protocol ("SFTP") link copies of any documents that support a claim and shall not mail or transmit hard copies or original documents; documents submitted may be destroyed after scanning and will not be returned to the Class Member.

A person who files a fraudulent claim on behalf of a Class Member may, at a minimum, be fined up to $500,000.00, imprisoned for up to five years, or both, in accordance with 18 U.S.C. §§ 152, 157.
