NOTICE OF A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT APPROVAL HEARING

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PAY IN ORDER TO REMAIN INCLUDED IN THIS CLASS ACTION AND IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT

MONTREAL, April 17, 2026 /CNW/ - The Superior Court of Québec will hold a hearing to decide whether to approve a proposed settlement of a class action arising out of a confidentiality incident involving personal information of its customers, which occurred in or about September 2023 (the "2023 Confidentiality Incident") involving MGM Resorts International ("MGM"). The proposed settlement in question is related to both the 2023 Confidentiality Incident and another cybersecurity attack on MGM's network carried out by third-party intruders who may have accessed certain personal information belonging to its customers involving MGM which occurred in July 2019 (the "2019 Confidentiality Incident").  

The 2019 Confidentiality Incident and the 2023 Confidentiality Incident are collectively referred to as the "Confidentiality Incidents".

MGM denies all allegations and liability. No court has found MGM liable. The parties have agreed to settle to avoid the risk and expense of continued litigation.

Who is Included

A class action instituted by Mr. Dahan against MGM was filed before the Superior Court of Québec, district of Montréal, bearing court file number 500-06-001280-235 (the "Dahan Class Action"). Class members are all persons in Canada (including estates, executors, and personal representatives) whose personal and/or financial information was lost by or stolen from MGM in the September 11, 2023 Confidentiality Incident.

Other proceedings have been filed that will be resolved by the proposed settlement, including the class action instituted by Mr. Zuckerman against MGM in the Superior Court of Québec (district of Montréal, file number 500-06-001078-209) (the "Zuckerman Class Action"), and the class action instituted by Ms. Thandi against MGM in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (file number VLC-S-S-207149) (the "Thandi Class Action") concerning the 2019 Confidentiality Incident.

What the Settlement Provides

MGM will pay CAD $4,000,000 (the "Settlement Fund") to resolve Canadian Class Actions relating to both Confidentiality Incidents. Subject to the Courts' approval, after class counsel fees, disbursements, and administration costs, the remaining funds may be used to provide, to eligible claimants who submit valid and timely claims (subject to the Settlement terms and any pro rata adjustments):

• Compensation for substantiated losses up to CAD $20,000 per approved claim.
• The reimbursement of up to one year of future credit monitoring expenses tied to the Confidentiality Incident(s).
• Compensation for unsubstantiated losses: up to CAD $150 for members included in only one of the Confidentiality Incidents or up to CAD $300 for members of both the Confidentiality Incidents. Amounts may be adjusted up or down pro rata depending on the number and value of approved claims, up to maximums of CAD $500 (if included in only one of the Confidentiality Incidents) or CAD $1,000 (if included in both Confidentiality Incidents).

Distribution Protocol

Class Members may elect to submit a claim for one or more of the following:

• Monetary Benefits for Substantiated Losses;
• Reimbursement of Future Credit Monitoring Expenses; and
• Monetary Benefits for Unsubstantiated Losses.

Class Members submitting a Substantiated Losses Claim must complete, sign, and date the Settlement Claim Form and provide reasonable supporting documentation as specified in the form. For clarity, the email or letter from MGM notifying you of the Confidentiality Incident(s) does not constitute supporting documentation for a Documented Loss. Settlement Class Members submitting a Claim for a Substantiated Loss will also be included in the distribution of Monetary Benefits for Unsubstantiated Losses, regardless of the determination of their Claim for a Substantiated Loss.

Settlement Class Members submitting a reimbursement for Future Credit Monitoring Expenses must complete, sign and date the Settlement Claim Form and provide reasonable supporting documentation as specified in the form.

Settlement Class Members submitting an Unsubstantiated Losses Claim must complete, sign, and date the Settlement Claim Form.

Class Counsel Fees

Class counsel will seek Court approvals for legal fees of CAD $1,200,000, plus applicable taxes and disbursements, to be paid exclusively from the Settlement Fund and shared between counsel for the Quebec and British Columbia Class Actions. The Court may approve the Settlement even if it denies the requested legal fees.
