A proposed $2,900,000 Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit titled Lucisbel Cruz-Bermudez and Helmut Becker v. Henry Schein, Inc., Case No. 2:24-cv-00387-BMC (the “Litigation”), filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

This Litigation alleges that in September 2023, Defendant suffered a data breach impacting certain company systems (the “Data Breach” or “Data Incident”). The Data Breach was found to have compromised certain private and personally identifying information stored in Defendant’s files including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, photographs, dates of birth, demographic information, background information, government-issued identification numbers, Social Security Numbers, driver’s license numbers, state identification numbers, passport numbers, financial
information, bank account information, credit card numbers, loan information, medical history, medical treatment, insurance information, employment information, and/or IP addresses (“Personal Information”). The private and/or personally identifying information of approximately 166,432 people was accessed as a result of this Data Breach. Defendant disagrees with Plaintiffs’ claims and denies any wrongdoing.

All Class Members can receive the following compensation from the Settlement:

• Compensation for Out-of-Pocket Losses: All Class Members are eligible to recover compensation for up to $4,000 per person for Out-of-Pocket Losses incurred as a result of the Data Breach, including: unreimbursed losses relating to fraud or identity theft; professional fees including attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, and fees for credit repair services; costs associated with freezing or unfreezing credit with any credit reporting agency;
  credit monitoring costs that were incurred on or after the Data Breach through the date of claim submission;
  and miscellaneous expenses such as notary, fax, postage, copying, mileage, and long-distance telephone charges. Class Members submitting claims for Out-of-Pocket Losses must submit documentation supporting their claims, including by an attestation under penalty of perjury, which is part of the Claim Form.
• Cash Fund Payment: All Class Members may also make a claim for a pro rata Cash Fund Payment from the Settlement Fund. The amount of the pro rata Cash Fund Payment is estimated to be $50 per claimant. This amount of the Cash Fund Payment may increase or decrease based upon the number of claims approved. The pro rata Cash Fund Payments will evenly distribute the net amount of the $2,900,000 Settlement Fund, after payment of all Approved Claims for Out-of-Pocket Losses, Notice and Administrative Expenses, Taxes and Tax-Related Expenses, any award of attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, Service Awards, and any other amounts expressly authorized by the Settlement Agreement or approved by the Court.
