A.M. and A.M. v. Reproductive Biology Associates LLC and MYEGGBANK North America LLC.

State Court of Gwinnett County Georgia
Case No. 21-C-06178-S3

If you received a notice of Data Incident from Reproductive Biology Associates LLC (“RBA”) and/or MYEGGBANK North America LLC (“MEB”) or one of their business associates, or if you believe you were affected when your PHI and PII were accessed through the computer systems of RBA and/or MEB between April 7, 2021 and April 10, 2021, you may be entitled to benefits from a class action Settlement.

The State court of Georgia authorized the Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

• A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Reproductive Biology Associates LLC and MYEGGBANK North America LLC . The lawsuit involves allegations that Reproductive Biology Associates LLC and MYEGGBANK North America LLC failed to adequately protect patient data it received from patients and failed to timely notify patients whose information was compromised when a threat actor accessed personal health information in the RBA and MEB computer systems between April 7, 2021 and April 10, 2021 (the “Data Incident”). RBA and MEB deny all allegations of wrongdoing and any liability.

• The parties have agreed to a proposed Settlement on behalf of persons to whom RBA and/or MEB or their business associates sent notice of the Data Incident stating that their personal identifying information and/or Protected Health Information may have been exposed.

• RBA and MEB have agreed to pay $1,000,000 into a fund that will be used to pay settlement awards to eligible persons who file claims, Settlement administration expenses, any Court-awarded service awards, and court-awarded attorneys’ fees and costs.

• Court-appointed lawyers for the Settlement Class (“Class Counsel”) will ask the Court for a payment of $333,333.33 from the fund as attorneys’ fees, which is equal to one-third of the settlement fund. In addition, Class Counsel will ask the Court to reimburse them for out-of-pocket expenses they incurred in this case, which currently amount to approximately $100,000. Class Counsel will also request service awards of $7,500 to each of the two Class Representatives.

• Your legal rights are affected whether you act, or don’t act. Read the Notice carefully.
