FOR THE DISTRICT OF WYOMING
Purnell v. Summit National Bank
Case No. 2:24-cv-00190-KHR (D. Wyo.)
If You Are Receiving the Notice a Class Action Settlement May Affect Your Rights.
The United States District Court for the District of Wyoming
has authorized the Notice. You are not being sued.
This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
• A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit concerning Summit National Bank (“Defendant” or “Summit”) and a data incident that was discovered in May 2024 (the “Data Incident”), when one or more unauthorized individuals accessed information in an email account belonging to Summit, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and financial account information (collectively, “personally identifiable information” or “PII”).
• The lawsuit is called Purnell v. Summit National Bank, Case No. 2:24-cv-00190-KHR, United States District Court for the District of Wyoming. The lawsuit asserts claims related to the Data Incident. The Defendant in the lawsuit is Summit National Bank. Summit denies any and all wrongdoing or that it is or can be held liable for the claims made in the lawsuit. The Settlement does not establish who is correct, but rather is a compromise to end the lawsuit.
• Members of the Class are all individuals residing in the United States who were sent a notice by Summit informing them of the Data Incident Summit discovered in May 2024. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (1) the judges presiding over this Action, and members of their direct families; (2) the Defendant, their subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, predecessors, and any entity in which the Defendant or their parents have a controlling interest, and their current or former officers and directors; and (3) Settlement Class Members who submit a valid Request for Exclusion prior to the Opt-Out Deadline.
• Class Members are eligible to receive the following relief: (1) up to $5,000.00 in reimbursement for documented Out-of-Pocket losses or expenses resulting from the Data Incident; (2) an estimated cash payment of approximately $175.00 (assuming a claims rate of 10% of the 10,912-person Settlement Class); and (3) three (3) years of three-bureau Credit and Identity Theft Monitoring. Payments to Class Members are subject to a pro rata increase or decrease based on the money remaining in the Settlement Fund after the payment of attorneys’ fees and expenses, Settlement Administration expenses (including the costs for Credit and Identity Theft Monitoring services), and Class Representative Service Award. All three forms of relief may be combined.
• The Settlement Administrator will post additional information about the payment amount on this website. For complete details, please see the Settlement Agreement, whose terms control, available HERE.
• Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you act or do not act. Please read the Notice carefully.
