ASM Global Parent, Inc. Data Security Incident Litigation

If ASM Global Parent, Inc. (“ASM”) notified you that your personal information was impacted in a Data Security Incident detected by ASM on October 12, 2023, you may be eligible for benefits from a Class Action Settlement.

A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit known as Shea Hoover v. ASM Global Parent, Inc., Case No. 2:24-cv-10794-WLH-PVC, filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division.

This Litigation alleges that on October 12, 2023, Defendant, ASM Global Parent, Inc. (“ASM” or “Defendant”) detected unauthorized activity affecting certain on-premises servers supporting an application known as Solomon (“Data Security Incident”). Plaintiff further asserts that, as a result of the Data Security Incident, cybercriminals gained access to Plaintiff’s and Class Member’s sensitive and confidential personal information, including names plus dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state identification numbers, passport numbers, and/or credit or debit card numbers, along with associated CVV codes and expiration dates (collectively, “personally identifiable information” or “PII”), as well as medical diagnosis and treatment information (“protected health information” or “PHI”) (collectively, “PII” and “PHI” shall be referred to hereinafter as “Private Information” unless otherwise specified) in a limited number of circumstances. ASM disagrees with Plaintiff’s claims and denies any wrongdoing.

All Settlement Class Members who submit a Valid Claim can receive the following benefits from the settlement:

• Out-of-Pocket Expense Reimbursement: All Settlement Class Members who have suffered a proven monetary loss and who submit a Valid Claim for this benefit using the Claim Form are eligible for up to $10,000.00, incurred as a result of the Data Security Incident, subject to a potential pro rata decrease depending on how many Settlement Class Members make Valid Claims for out-of-pocket expense reimbursement and the amount of those claims;

• Pro Rata Cash Payment: Any Settlement Remainder will be distributed as a residual pro rata cash payment to Settlement Class Members who submit a Valid Claim for this benefit using the Claim Form. Each Claimant who selects this benefit will receive one (1) share of the Settlement Remainder, and each Claimant that is a California Resident will receive two (2) total shares of the Settlement Remainder. Claimants who submit a claim of Out-Of-Pocket Expenses will automatically be deemed to have submitted a claim for one (1) share of the Settlement Remainder, unless they indicate on the Claim Form that they are a California resident and are seeking two (2) shares. To qualify as a California Resident for the purposes of this benefit, Settlement Class Members will have to provide proof of California residency. A sworn attestation shall satisfy the proof requirement for California residency. ASM also agrees to take, or to confirm that it has taken, certain steps to further secure its systems and environments.

You are a Settlement Class Member if you are a United States Resident whose Private Information was compromised in the Data Security Incident. Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you do or do not act.
