   eBOOKS CANADIAN PRICE FIXING CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT   
      
   Notice of Certification/Authorization and Proposed Canadian Settlement   
   www.eBooksCanadianSettlement.ca   
      
   To all persons in Canada who purchased eBooks between   
   April 1, 2010 and March 10, 2017   
      
   THE LAWSUITS   
      
   Class action lawsuits were commenced in Ontario, British   
   Columbia and Quebec ("Actions") against the Defendants Apple   
   Inc., Apple Canada Inc. (together, "Apple") and Hachette Book   
   Group Canada Ltd, Hachette Book Group Inc., HarperCollins   
   Canada Limited, HarperCollins Publishers LLC, Macmillan   
   Publishers, Inc., Penguin Group (USA) LLC (now Penguin Random   
   House LLC), Penguin Canada Books, Inc. (now Penguin Random   
   House Canada Limited), and Simon & Schuster Canada, a division   
   of CBS Canada Holdings Co. (the "Publishers") alleging they   
   conspired to fix, maintain, increase or control the price of   
   eBooks sold by them in Canada, contrary to Part VI of the   
   Competition Act, the common law and the Civil Code of Quebec   
   (the "Alleged Conspiracy"). The Actions allege that, because of   
   the Alleged Conspiracy, the price of eBooks sold in Canada   
   between April 1, 2010 and March 10, 2017 was artificially high,   
   and seek, among other things, reimbursement of the alleged   
   overcharges. The Defendants deny those allegations, and the   
   claims have not been proven in Court.   
      
   [...]   
      
   YOUR OPTIONS   
      
   If you want to participate in the Actions and benefit from this   
   Proposed Settlement if approved, you do not need to do anything   
   at this time. All persons in Canada who purchased Defendants'   
   eBooks between April 1, 2010 and March 10, 2017 are   
   automatically included in the Settlement Class.
