To: All current and former employees of member organizations of the Ontario Hospital Association (“OHA”) who paid a share of premiums and were covered by the OHA’s long-term disability policy (Policy No 2100) as of December 29, 1997.
Purpose of this Notice
This is the Second Notice in these proceedings. You can find the first Notice on the web pages listed below.
The OHA and representatives of its members’ unionized and non-unionized employees have entered into a Settlement Agreement to distribute the proceeds arising from the demutualization of certain insurance policies that Mutual Life had issued to the OHA (the “Proceeds”). An application was brought in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to obtain court approval of the Settlement Agreement for the proposed distribution of the Proceeds, as a class proceeding. At a hearing on August 17, 2010, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified the application as a class proceeding, appointed representative Respondents and approved the Settlement Agreement.
The purpose of this Second Notice is to provide members of the Class with information on how to opt out of this class proceeding and, if eligible, how to apply for funds under the Cash Recipients Fund. For further details with respect to the Settlement itself, please see the first Notice and the Settlement Agreement found at the web pages listed below.
