UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN

SOUTHERN DIVISION

ROSE COULTER-OWENS, individually and 

on behalf of all others similarly situated,

Plaintiff,

Case No. 2:14-cv-12688

[Hon. Robert H. Cleland]

v.

RODALE INC.,

Defendant.

CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

This Agreement (“Agreement” or “Settlement Agreement”) is entered into by and among 

(i) Rose Coulter-Owens (“Plaintiff”); (ii) the Settlement Class (as defined herein); and (iii) 

Defendant Rodale Inc. (“Rodale” or “Defendant”). The Settlement Class and Plaintiff CoulterOwens are collectively referred to as the “Plaintiffs” unless otherwise noted. The Plaintiffs and 

the Defendant are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.” This Agreement is intended by 

the Parties to fully, finally and forever resolve, discharge, and settle the Released Claims (as 

defined herein), upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and subject to 

the final approval of the Court.

RECITALS

A. This putative class action was filed on July 9, 2014, in the United States District 

Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Plaintiff alleges Defendant disclosed its customers’ 

personal information to third parties without permission in violation of the Michigan Video 

Rental Privacy Act, M.C.L. §§ 445.1711-15 (“VRPA”) and in breach of its contracts with the 

putative class members. (Dkt. 1.)

B. Thereafter, on September 18, 2014, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss under 

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.745 Filed 08/24/16 Page 2 of 48
2

Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6), arguing that Plaintiff Coulter-Owens lacked Article III standing and 

failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. (Dkt. 14.) Plaintiff filed her opposition 

brief on October 16, 2014 (Dkt. 21), and Defendant filed its reply brief on October 30, 2014. 

(Dkt. 23.)

C. On February 11, 2015, after full briefing, the Court entered an Order denying in 

part and granting in part Defendant’s motion to dismiss. (Dkt. 27.)

D. Defendant thereafter answered Plaintiff’s Complaint on February 25, 2015 by 

denying the allegations and raising sixteen (16) affirmative defenses. (Dkt. 29.)

E. Soon thereafter, the parties submitted a proposed discovery plan to the Court, 

(Dkt. 31), exchanged initial disclosures and served written discovery on each other. 

F. Over the next eight months, the Parties engaged in substantial class- and meritsrelated discovery, which included the production and review of thousands of documents, 

numerous meet-and-confer conferences, and the depositions of both Plaintiff Coulter-Owens and 

a corporate representative from Rodale. Plaintiff also served discovery on third parties resulting 

in the production of additional documents and the scheduling of additional depositions.

G. On November 4, 2015, the Parties participated in a formal mediation with Hon. 

James F. Holderman (Ret.) at JAMS in Chicago, Illinois. Although the Parties did not reach a

settlement, they did find common ground on certain key terms and ultimately decided that a 

second mediation was warranted.

H. On December 2, 2015, the Parties participated in a second in-person mediation

with Judge Holderman at JAMS. After a day of mediation with Judge Holderman, and numerous 

additional rounds of arm’s-length discussions, the Parties reached an agreement on the principal 

terms of this Settlement.

I. At all times, Defendant has denied and continues to deny any wrongdoing 

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.746 Filed 08/24/16 Page 3 of 48
3

whatsoever and has denied and continues to deny that it committed, or threatened or attempted to 

commit, any wrongful act or violation of law or duty alleged in the Action. Nonetheless, taking 

into account the uncertainty and risks inherent in any litigation, Defendant has concluded it is 

desirable and beneficial that the Action be fully and finally settled and terminated in the manner 

and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement is a compromise, 

and the Agreement, any related documents, and any negotiations resulting in it shall not be 

construed as or deemed to be evidence of or an admission or concession of liability or 

wrongdoing on the part of Defendant, or any of the Released Parties (defined below), with 

respect to any claim of any fault or liability or wrongdoing or damage whatsoever.

J. Plaintiff believes that the claims asserted in the Action against Defendant have 

merit and that she would have prevailed at summary judgment and/or trial. Nonetheless, Plaintiff 

and Class Counsel recognize that Defendant has raised factual and legal defenses that present a 

risk that Plaintiffs may not prevail. Plaintiff and Class Counsel also recognize the expense and 

delay associated with continued prosecution of the Action against Defendant through class 

certification, summary judgment, trial, and any subsequent appeals. Plaintiff and Class Counsel 

have also taken into account the uncertain outcome and risks of litigation, especially in complex 

class actions, as well as the difficulties inherent in such litigation. Therefore, Plaintiff believes it 

is desirable that the Released Claims be fully and finally compromised, settled, and resolved with 

prejudice. Based on their evaluation, Class Counsel have concluded that the terms and conditions 

of this Agreement are fair, reasonable, and adequate to the Settlement Class, and that it is in the 

best interests of the Settlement Class to settle the claims raised in the Action pursuant to the 

terms and provisions of this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and among 

Plaintiff, the Settlement Class, and each of them, and Defendant, by and through its undersigned 

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.747 Filed 08/24/16 Page 4 of 48

counsel that, subject to final approval of the Court after a hearing or hearings as provided for in 

this Settlement Agreement, in consideration of the benefits flowing to the Parties from the 

Agreement set forth herein, that the Action and the Released Claims shall be finally and fully 

compromised, settled, and released, and the Action shall be dismissed with prejudice, upon and 

subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

conditions of this Agreement, seek exclusion from the Settlement Class or timely file a valid

Released Claims.

5. SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATION.

5.1 The Settlement Administrator shall, under the supervision of the Court, administer

the relief provided by this Settlement Agreement by processing Claim Forms in a rational, 

responsive, cost effective, and timely manner. The Settlement Administrator shall maintain 

reasonably detailed records of its activities under this Agreement. The Settlement Administrator 

shall maintain all such records as are required by applicable law in accordance with its normal 

business practices and such records will be made available to Class Counsel and Defendant’s 

Counsel upon request. The Settlement Administrator shall also provide reports and other 

information to the Court as the Court may require. The Settlement Administrator shall provide 

Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel with information concerning Notice, administration, and 

implementation of the Settlement Agreement. Should the Court request, the Parties shall submit 

a timely report to the Court summarizing the work performed by the Settlement Administrator, 

including a report of all amounts from the Settlement Fund paid to Settlement Class Members on 

account of Approved Claims. Without limiting the foregoing, the Settlement Administrator shall:

(a) Forward to Defendant’s Counsel, with copies to Class Counsel, all original 

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.761 Filed 08/24/16 Page 18 of 48

documents and other materials received in connection with the administration of the Settlement, 

and all copies thereof, within thirty (30) days after the date on which all Claim Forms have been 

finally approved or disallowed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(b) Receive requests to be excluded from the Settlement Class and other 

requests and promptly provide to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel copies thereof. If the 

Settlement Administrator receives any exclusion forms or other requests after the deadline for 

the submission of such forms and requests, the Settlement Administrator shall promptly provide 

copies thereof to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel;

(c) Provide weekly reports to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel, 

including without limitation, reports regarding the number of Claim Forms received, the number 

approved by the Settlement Administrator, and the categorization and description of Claim 

Forms rejected, in whole or in part, by the Settlement Administrator; 

(d) Make available for inspection by Class Counsel or Defendant’s Counsel 

the Claim Forms received by the Settlement Administrator at any time upon reasonable notice; 

and

(e) Provide Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel with drafts of all 

administration related documents, including but not limited to CAFA Notices, follow-up class 

notices or communications with Settlement Class Members, telephone scripts, website postings 

or language, or other communications with the Settlement Class, at least seven (7) days before 

the Settlement Administrator is required to or intends to publish or use such communications, 

unless Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel agree to waive this requirement in writing on a 

case by case basis. 

5.2 The Settlement Administrator shall be obliged to employ reasonable procedures to 

screen claims for abuse or fraud and deny Claim Forms where there is evidence of abuse or 

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.762 Filed 08/24/16 Page 19 of 48
19

fraud. The Settlement Administrator shall determine whether a Claim Form submitted by a

Settlement Class Member is an Approved Claim and shall reject Claim Forms that fail to (a) 

comply with the instructions on the Claim Form or the terms of this Agreement, or (b) provide 

full and complete information as requested on the Claim Form. In the event a Person submits a 

timely Claim Form by the Claims Deadline where the Person appears on the Settlement Class 

List but the Claim Form is not otherwise complete, then the Settlement Administrator shall give 

such Person one (1) reasonable opportunity to provide any requested missing information, which 

information must be received by the Settlement Administrator no later than thirty (30) calendar 

days after the Claims Deadline. In the event the Settlement Administrator receives such 

information more than thirty (30) days after the Claims Deadline, then any such claim shall be 

denied. The Settlement Administrator may contact any Person who has submitted a Claim Form 

to obtain additional information necessary to verify the Claim Form. 

5.3 Defendant’s Counsel and Class Counsel shall have the right to challenge the 

acceptance or rejection of a Claim Form submitted by Settlement Class Members. The 

Settlement Administrator shall follow any agreed decisions of Class Counsel and Defendant’s 

Counsel as to the validity of any disputed submitted Claim Form. To the extent Class Counsel 

and Defendant’s Counsel are not able to agree on the disposition of a challenge, the disputed 

claim shall be submitted to Judge James F. Holderman of JAMS for binding determination.

5.4 In the exercise of their duties outlined in this Agreement, the Settlement 

Administrator shall have the right to reasonably request additional information from the Parties 

or any Settlement Class Member. 

6. TERMINATION OF SETTLEMENT.

behalf of the Settlement Class, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing 

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.763 Filed 08/24/16 Page 20 of 48

otherwise would be members of the Settlement Class have timely requested exclusion from the 

Settlement Class in accordance with the provisions of the Notice Order and the notice given 

pursuant thereto, Defendant shall have, in its sole and absolute discretion, the option to terminate 

this settlement in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph 6.1.

7. PRELIMINARY APPROVAL ORDER AND FINAL APPROVAL ORDER.

7.1 Promptly after the execution of this Settlement Agreement, Class Counsel shall

submit this Agreement together with its Exhibits to the Court and shall move the Court for 

Preliminary Approval of the settlement set forth in this Agreement; certification of the 

Settlement Class for settlement purposes only; appointment of Class Counsel and the Class 

Representative; and entry of a Preliminary Approval Order, which order shall set a Final 

Approval Hearing date and approve the Notice and Claim Form for dissemination substantially 

in the form of Exhibits A, B, C, and D hereto. The Preliminary Approval Order shall also 

authorize the Parties, without further approval from the Court, to agree to and adopt such 

amendments, modifications and expansions of the Settlement Agreement and its implementing 

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.764 Filed 08/24/16 Page 21 of 48
21

documents (including all exhibits to this Agreement) so long as they are consistent in all material 

respects with the terms of the Final Judgment and do not limit or impair the rights of the 

Settlement Class.

7.2 At the time of the submission of this Agreement to the Court as described above, 

Class Counsel shall request that, after Notice is given, the Court hold a Final Approval Hearing 

and approve the settlement of the Action as set forth herein.

7.3 After Notice is given, the Parties shall request and seek to obtain from the Court a 

Final Judgment, which will (among other things): 

(a) find that the Court has personal jurisdiction over all Settlement Class 

Members and that the Court has subject matter jurisdiction to approve the Agreement, including 

all exhibits thereto; 

(b) approve the Settlement Agreement and the proposed settlement as fair, 

reasonable and adequate as to, and in the best interests of, the Settlement Class Members; direct 

the Parties and their counsel to implement and consummate the Agreement according to its terms 

and provisions; and declare the Agreement to be binding on, and have res judicata and 

preclusive effect in all pending and future lawsuits or other proceedings maintained by or on 

behalf of Plaintiffs and Releasing Parties;

(c) find that the Notice implemented pursuant to the Agreement 

(1) constitutes the best practicable notice under the circumstances; (2) constitutes notice that is 

reasonably calculated, under the circumstances, to apprise Settlement Class Members of the 

pendency of the Action, their right to object to or exclude themselves from the proposed 

Agreement, and to appear at the Final Approval Hearing; (3) is reasonable and constitutes due, 

adequate, and sufficient notice to all persons entitled to receive notice; and (4) meets all 

applicable requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Due Process Clause of the 

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.765 Filed 08/24/16 Page 22 of 48
22

United States Constitution, and the rules of the Court;

(d) find that the Class Representative and Class Counsel adequately represent 

the Settlement Class for purposes of entering into and implementing the Agreement;

(e) dismiss the Action (including all individual claims and Settlement Class 

Claims presented thereby) on the merits and with prejudice, without fees or costs to any Party 

except as provided in the Settlement Agreement; 

(f) incorporate the Release set forth above, make the Release effective as of 

the date of the Effective Date, and forever discharge the Released Parties as set forth herein;

(g) permanently bar and enjoin all Settlement Class Members who have not 

been properly excluded from the Settlement Class from filing, commencing, prosecuting, 

intervening in, or participating (as class members or otherwise) in, any lawsuit or other action in 

any jurisdiction based on the Released Claims; 

(h) without affecting the finality of the Final Judgment for purposes of appeal, 

retain jurisdiction as to all matters relating to administration, consummation, enforcement, and 

interpretation of the Settlement Agreement and the Final Judgment, and for any other necessary 

purpose; and

(i) incorporate any other provisions, as the Court deems necessary and just.

8. CLASS COUNSEL’S ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF

EXPENSES; INCENTIVE AWARD.

8.1 Defendant agrees Class Counsel shall be entitled to an amount not to exceed 40%

of the Settlement Fund, subject to Court approval, which shall include all attorneys’ fees and 

reimbursement of expenses associated with the Action. Defendant agrees not to object to or 

otherwise challenge, directly or indirectly, Class Counsel’s application for reasonable attorneys’ 

fees and for reimbursement of expenses if limited to this amount. Class Counsel, in turn, agrees 

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.766 Filed 08/24/16 Page 23 of 48
23

to seek no more than this amount from the Court in attorneys’ fees and for reimbursement of 

expenses. Payment of the Fee Award shall be made from the Settlement Fund and should the 

Court award less than the amount sought by Class Counsel, the difference in the amount sought 

and the amount ultimately awarded pursuant to this Paragraph shall remain in the Settlement 

Fund.

8.2 Class Counsel shall be paid the Fee Award, in an amount determined by the 

Court, from the Settlement Fund within five (5) business days after the date the Court enters the 

Final Judgment if there have been no objections to the Settlement Agreement, and, if there have 

been such objections, within five (5) business days after the Effective Date. Payment of the Fee 

Award shall be made via wire transfer to an account designated by Class Counsel.

8.3 Defendant agrees the Class Representative shall be entitled, subject to Court 

approval, to an incentive award in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) from the 

Settlement Fund, in addition to any Settlement Payment pursuant to this Agreement and in 

recognition of her efforts on behalf of the Settlement Class. Defendant shall not object to or 

otherwise challenge, directly or indirectly, Class Counsel’s application for the incentive award to 

the Class Representative if limited to this amount. Class Counsel and the Class Representative, in 

turn, agree to seek no more than this amount from the Court as the incentive award for the Class 

Representative. Should the Court award less than this amount, the difference in the amount 

sought and the amount ultimately awarded pursuant to this Paragraph shall remain in the 

Settlement Fund. Such award shall be paid from the Settlement Fund (in the form of a check to 

the Class Representative that is sent care of Class Counsel), within five (5) business days after 

the date the Court enters the Final Judgment if there have been no objections to the Settlement 

Agreement, and, if there have been such objections, within five (5) business days after the 

Effective Date.

Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel mutually agree in writing to proceed with this Agreement. If 

any Party is in material breach of the terms hereof, any other Party, provided that it is in

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.768 Filed 08/24/16 Page 25 of 48

conditions of this Agreement, to secure final approval, and to defend the Final Judgment through 

any and all appeals. Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel agree to cooperate with one another

Final Judgment, and promptly to agree upon and execute all such other documentation as may be 

reasonably required to obtain final approval of the Agreement.

resolution of all disputes between them with respect to the Released Claims by Plaintiff, the 

Settlement Class and each or any of them, on the one hand, against the Released Parties, and 

each or any of the Released Parties, on the other hand. Accordingly, the Parties agree not to 

assert in any forum that the Action was brought by Plaintiff or defended by Defendant, or each or 

any of them, in bad faith or without a reasonable basis.

terminated, neither this Agreement nor the settlement contained herein, nor any act or 

communication performed or document executed in the course of negotiating, implementing or 

seeking approval of this Agreement or the settlement is, may be deemed, or shall be used, 

offered or received in any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding in any court, 

administrative agency, arbitral proceeding, or other tribunal:

(a) against the Released Parties, or each or any of them, as an admission, 

concession or evidence of, the validity of any Released Claims, the truth of any fact alleged by 

the Plaintiff, any point of law, the deficiency of any defense that has been or could have been 

asserted in the Action, the violation of any law or statute, the reasonableness of the settlement 

amount or the Fee Award, or of any alleged wrongdoing, liability, negligence, or fault of the 

Released Parties, or any of them;

(b) against the Released Parties, or each or any of them, as an admission, 

concession or evidence of any fault, misrepresentation or omission with respect to any statement

any of them, or against the Released Parties, or each or any of them, as an admission or 

concession that the consideration to be given hereunder represents an amount equal to, less than 

or greater than that amount that could have or would have been recovered after trial;

(d) against Plaintiff, the Settlement Class, the Releasing Parties, or each and 

any of them, or against the Released Parties, or each or any of them, that any of Plaintiff’s claims 

are with or without merit or that damages recoverable in the Action would have exceeded or 

would have been less than any particular amount; and

(e) However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the settlement, this Agreement, 

and any acts performed and/or documents executed in furtherance of or pursuant to this 

Agreement and/or Settlement may be used in any proceedings as may be necessary to effectuate 

the provisions of this Agreement. Further, if this Settlement Agreement is approved by the Court, 

any Party or any of the Released Parties may file this Agreement and/or the Final Judgment in 

any action that may be brought against such Party or Parties in order to support a defense or 

counterclaim based on principles of res judicata, collateral estoppel, release, good faith 

settlement, judgment bar or reduction, or any other theory of claim preclusion or issue preclusion 

or similar defense or counterclaim.

10.5 The Parties acknowledge that (a) any certification of the Settlement Class as set 

forth in this Agreement, including certification of the Settlement Class for settlement purposes in 

the context of Preliminary Approval, shall not be deemed a concession that certification of a 

litigation class is appropriate, nor would Rodale be precluded from challenging class certification 

in further proceedings in the Action or in any other action if the Settlement Agreement is not 

finalized or finally approved; (b) if the Settlement Agreement is not finally approved by the 

Court for any reason whatsoever, then any certification of the Settlement Class will be void, the 

Parties and the Action shall be restored to the status quo ante, and no doctrine of waiver, estoppel 

or preclusion will be asserted in any litigated certification proceedings in the Action or in any 

other action; and (c) no agreements made by or entered into by Rodale in connection with the 

Settlement may be used by Plaintiff, any person in the Settlement Class, or any other person to

Re: Legal Notice of Class Action Settlement

NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

Coulter-Owens v. Rodale, Inc., Case No. 2:14-cv-12688

(United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan)

This notice is to inform you of the settlement of a class action lawsuit with magazine publisher 

Rodale Inc., the Defendant in this case. Plaintiff Rose Coulter-Owens alleges that Defendant 

disclosed its customers’ subscription information to third parties for marketing purposes without 

permission, in violation of Michigan privacy law. Defendant denies any wrongdoing, but has 

agreed to settle the claims against it. 

Am I included? You are included if you have a Michigan street address and purchased a 

subscription to a Rodale Publication between July 1, 2009 through [Preliminary Approval]. 

Rodale Publications include: Bicycling, Men’s Health, Organic Life (formerly Organic 

Gardening), Prevention, Running Times, Runner’s World, and Women’s Health.

More information is available at: www.MichiganMagazineSettlement.net.

What do I get? Defendant will establish a Settlement Fund of $4,500,000 to pay all valid claims 

submitted by the Settlement Class, together with notice and administration expenses, attorneys’ 

fees and costs, and an incentive award. If you are entitled to relief, you may submit a claim to 

receive a pro rata share of the Settlement Fund, which Class Counsel estimates to be about $100 

per class member, although the final amount will depend on the number of valid claims 

submitted. In addition to this monetary relief, for a period of four (4) years following Preliminary 

Approval, the Defendant has agreed not to disclose any Michigan Subscriber Information to 

third-party marketing companies without the prior express written consent of the affected 

subscribers. Defendant has also updated its Privacy Policy to further explain its disclosure 

practices. A copy of the updated Privacy Policy is available for your review at 

www.rodaleinc.com/your-privacy-rights and at www.MichiganMagazineSettlement.net.

How do I receive a payment? To receive a payment, you must submit a claim form by mail or 

online. You may submit the claim form online at www.MichiganMagazineSettlement.net or

Case 2:14-cv-12688-RHC-RSW ECF No. 51-2, PageID.782 Filed 08/24/16 Page 39 of 48
A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit claiming that Defendant magazine publisher Rodale Inc. disclosed its customers’ 

subscription information without permission to third parties for marketing purposes. The Plaintiff claims that the disclosure of this information 

violated Michigan privacy law and Defendant’s contracts with its customers. The Defendant denies it violated any law, but has agreed to the 

settlement to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with continuing the case. 

Am I a Class Member? Our records indicate you may be a Class Member. Class Members are persons with Michigan street addresses who 

purchased a subscription to one or more of the Rodale magazines listed on the reverse side of this postcard.

What Can I Get? If approved by the Court, Defendant will establish a Settlement Fund of $4,500,000 to pay all valid claims submitted by the 

Settlement Class, together with notice and administration expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs, and an incentive award. If you are entitled to 

relief, you may submit a claim to receive a pro rata share of the Settlement Fund, estimated at $100 per class member. In addition to this 

monetary relief, for a period of four (4) years following Preliminary Approval, the Defendant has agreed not to disclose any Michigan 

Subscriber Information to third-party marketing companies without the prior express written consent of the affected subscribers. Defendant has 

also updated its Privacy Policy to further explain its disclosure practices. A copy of the updated Privacy Policy is available for your review at 

www.rodaleinc.com/your-privacy-rights and at www.MichiganMagazineSettlement.net.

How Do I Get a Payment? You must submit a timely and properly completed Claim Form no later than [claims deadline]. You may use the 

Claim Form attached to this Notice or submit one online at www.MichiganMagazineSettlement.net. 

What are My Other Options? You may exclude yourself from the Class by sending a letter to the settlement administrator no later than 

[objection/exclusion deadline]. If you exclude yourself, you cannot get a settlement payment, but you keep any rights you may have to sue the 

Defendant over the legal issues in the lawsuit. You and/or your lawyer have the right to appear before the Court and/or object to the proposed 

settlement. Your written objection must be filed no later than [objection/exclusion deadline]. Specific instructions about how to object to, or 

exclude yourself from, the Settlement are available at www.MichiganMagazineSettlement.net. If you file a claim or do nothing, and the Court 

approves the Settlement, you will be bound by all of the Court’s orders and judgments. In addition, your claims relating to the alleged disclosure 

or subscriber information in this case against the Defendant will be released.

Who Represents Me? The Court has appointed lawyers Jay Edelson, Ari J. Scharg, and Benjamin S. Thomassen from Edelson PC to 

represent the Settlement Class. These attorneys are called Class Counsel. You will not be charged for these lawyers. If you want to be 

represented by your own lawyer in this case, you may hire one at your expense.

When Will the Court Consider the Proposed Settlement? The Court will hold the Final Approval Hearing at [time] on Month 00, 2016 in 

Room 707 of the Theodore Levin United States Courthouse, 231 West Lafayette Boulevard, Detroit, Michigan 48226. At that hearing, the Court 

will: hear any objections concerning the fairness of the settlement; determine the fairness of the settlement; decide whether to approve Class 

Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and costs; and decide whether to award the Class Representative $5,000 from the Settlement Fund for her 

services in helping to bring and settle this case. Defendant has agreed to pay Class Counsel in an amount to be determined by the Court. Class 

Counsel will seek no more than 40% of the Settlement Fund; the Court may award less than this amount.

BASIC INFORMATION

1. Why was this Notice issued?

A Court authorized this notice because you have a right to know about a proposed Settlement of this 

class action lawsuit and about all of your options, before the Court decides whether to give final 

approval to the Settlement. This Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, and your legal rights.

The Honorable Robert H. Cleland of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan is 

overseeing this case. The case is known as Coulter-Owens v. Rodale, Inc., Case No. 2:14-cv-12688. 

The person who sued is called the Plaintiff. The Defendant is Rodale Inc.

2. What is a class action?

In a class action, one or more people called class representatives (in this case, Rose Coulter-Owens) 

sue on behalf of a group or a “class” of people who have similar claims. In a class action, the court 

resolves the issues for all class members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Class.

3. What is this lawsuit about?

This lawsuit claims that Defendant violated Michigan’s Video Rental Privacy Act, M.C.L. § 

445.1712 (“VRPA”) by disclosing information related to its customers’ magazine subscription 

histories to third parties without consent. The Defendant denies it violated any law. The Court has 

not determined who is right. Rather, the Parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid the 

uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation.

4. Why is there a Settlement?

The Court has not decided whether the Plaintiff or the Defendant should win this case. Instead, both 

sides agreed to a Settlement. That way, they avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with 

ongoing litigation, and Class Members will get compensation now rather than, if at all, years from 

now.

WHO’S INCLUDED IN THE SETTLEMENT?

5. How do I know if I am in the Settlement Class?

The Court decided that everyone who fits this description is a member of the Settlement Class:

All Persons with Michigan street addresses who purchased a subscription to a Rodale Publication 

between July 1, 2009 and [Preliminary Approval]. 

Rodale Publications include: Bicycling, Men’s Health, Organic Life (formerly Organic Gardening),

Prevention, Running Times, Runner’s World, and Women’s Health.

Based on Defendant’s records, there are approximately 570,000 potential Class Members.

THE SETTLEMENT BENEFITS

6. What does the Settlement provide?

Monetary Relief: Defendant has created a Settlement Fund totaling $4,500,000.00. Class Member 

payments, as well as the cost to administer the Settlement, the cost to inform people about the 

Settlement, attorneys’ fees and an award to the Class Representative will also come out of this fund 

(see Question 13). 

Privacy Protections: In addition to this monetary relief, for a period of four (4) years following 

Preliminary Approval, the Defendant has agreed not to disclose any Michigan Subscriber 

Information to third-party marketing companies without the prior express written consent of the 

affected subscribers. Defendant has also updated its Privacy Policy to further explain its disclosure 

practices. A copy of the updated Privacy Policy is available for your review at 

www.rodaleinc.com/your-privacy-rights and at www.MichiganMagazineSettlement.net.

A detailed description of the settlement benefits can be found in the Settlement Agreement. [insert 

hyperlink]

7. How much will my payment be?

If you are member of the Settlement Class you may submit a Claim Form to receive a portion of the 

Settlement Fund. The amount of this payment will depend on how many of the Class Members file 

valid claims. Each Class Member who files a valid claim will receive a proportionate share of the 

Settlement Fund, which Class Counsel anticipates will be approximately $100. You can contact 

Class Counsel at 1-866-354-3015 to inquire as to the number of claims filed. 

8. When will I get my payment?

You should receive a check from the settlement administrator within 60 days after the Settlement has 

been finally approved and/or after any appeals process is complete. The hearing to consider the final 

fairness of the Settlement is scheduled for [Fairness Hearing Date.] All checks will expire and 

become void 90 days after they are issued.

HOW TO GET BENEFITS

9. How do I get a payment?

If you are a Class Member and you want to get a payment, you must complete and submit a Claim 

Form by [Claims Deadline]. Claim Forms can be found and submitted on-line or you may have 

received a Claim Form in the mail as a postcard attached to a summary of this notice. To submit a 

Claim Form on-line or to request a paper copy, go to www.MichiganMagazineSettlement.net or call toll

but it is completely free and takes only minutes!

REMAINING IN THE SETTLEMENT

10. What am I giving up if I stay in the Class?

If the Settlement becomes final, you will give up your right to sue the Defendant for the claims being 

resolved by this Settlement. The specific claims you are giving up against the Defendant are 

described in the Settlement Agreement. You will be “releasing” the Defendant and certain of its 

affiliates described in Section 1.25 of the Settlement Agreement. Unless you exclude yourself (see

Question 14), you are “releasing” the claims, regardless of whether you submit a claim or not. The 

Settlement Agreement is available through the “court documents” link on the website.

The Settlement Agreement describes the released claims with specific descriptions, so read it 

carefully. If you have any questions you can talk to the lawyers listed in Questions 12 & 18 for free 

or you can, of course, talk to your own lawyer if you have questions about what this means.

11. What happens if I do nothing at all?

If you do nothing, you won’t get any benefits from this Settlement. But, unless you exclude yourself, 

you won’t be able to start a lawsuit or be part of any other lawsuit against the Defendant for the 

claims being resolved by this Settlement.

THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU

12. Do I have a lawyer in the case?

 The Court has appointed Jay Edelson, Ari J. Scharg, and Benjamin S. Thomassen of Edelson PC to 

be the attorneys representing the Settlement Class. They are called “Class Counsel.” They believe, 

after conducting an extensive investigation, that the Settlement Agreement is fair, reasonable, and in 

the best interests of the Settlement Class. You will not be charged for these lawyers. If you want to 

be represented by your own lawyer in this case, you may hire one at your expense.

13. How will the lawyers be paid?

The Defendant has agreed to pay Class Counsel attorneys’ fees and costs in an amount to be 

determined by the Court. The fee petition will seek no more than 40% of the Settlement Fund; the 

Court may award less than this amount. Under the Settlement Agreement, any amount awarded to 

Class Counsel will be paid out of the Settlement Fund. 

Subject to approval by the Court, Defendant has agreed to pay $5,000 to the Class Representative 

from the Settlement Fund for her services in helping to bring and settle this case.

16. If I exclude myself, can I get anything from this Settlement?

No. If you exclude yourself, do not submit a Claim Form to ask for benefits.

OBJECTING TO THE SETTLEMENT

17. How do I object to the Settlement?

If you’re a Class Member, you can object to the Settlement if you don’t like any part of it. You can 

give reasons why you think the Court should not approve it. The Court will consider your views. To 

object, you must file with the Court a letter or brief stating that you object to the Settlement in 

Coulter-Owens v. Rodale, Inc., Case No. 2:14-cv-12688 and identify all your reasons for your 

objections (including citations and supporting evidence) and attach any materials you rely on for 

your objections. Your letter or brief must also include your name, your address, the basis upon 

which you claim to be a Class Member (including the name of the Rodale publication to which you 

are or were a subscriber), the name and contact information of any and all attorneys representing, 

advising, or in any way assisting you in connection with your objection, and your signature. If you or 

an attorney assisting you with your objection have ever objected to any class action settlement where 

the you or the objecting attorney has asked for or received payment in exchange for dismissal of the 

objection (or any related appeal) without modification to the settlement, you must include a 

statement in your objection identifying each such case by full case caption. You must also mail or 

deliver a copy of your letter or brief to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel listed below. 

Class Counsel will file with the Court and post on this website its request for attorneys’ fees by [two 

weeks prior to objection deadline]. 

If you want to appear and speak at the Final Approval Hearing to object to the Settlement, with or 

without a lawyer (explained below in answer to Question Number 21), you must say so in your letter

18. What’s the difference between objecting and excluding myself from the Settlement?

Objecting simply means telling the Court that you don’t like something about the Settlement. You 

can object only if you stay in the Class. Excluding yourself from the Class is telling the Court that 

you don’t want to be part of the Class. If you exclude yourself, you have no basis to object because 

the case no longer affects you.

THE COURT’S FINAL APPROVAL HEARING

19. When and where will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlement?

The Court will hold the Final Approval Hearing at [time] on Month 00, 2016 in Room 707 of the 

Theodore Levin United States Courthouse, 231 West Lafayette Boulevard, Detroit, Michigan 48226. 

The purpose of the hearing will be for the Court to determine whether to approve the Settlement as 

fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of the Class; to consider the Class Counsel’s 

request for attorneys’ fees and expenses; and to consider the request for an incentive award to the 

Class Representative. At that hearing, the Court will be available to hear any objections and 

arguments concerning the fairness of the Settlement.

The hearing may be postponed to a different date or time without notice, so it is a good idea to check 

www.MichiganMagazineSettlement.net or call 1-800-000-0000. If, however, you timely objected to the 

Settlement and advised the Court that you intend to appear and speak at the Final Approval Hearing, 

you will receive notice of any change in the date of such Final Approval Hearing. 

20. Do I have to come to the hearing?

No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. But, you are welcome to come at 

your own expense. If you send an objection or comment, you don’t have to come to Court to talk 

about it. As long as you filed and mailed your written objection on time, the Court will consider it. 

You may also pay another lawyer to attend, but it’s not required.

21. May I speak at the hearing?

name, address, telephone number and signature as well as the name and address of your lawyer, if 

one is appearing for you. Your objection and notice of intent to appear must be filed with the Court 

and postmarked no later than [objection deadline], and be sent to the addresses listed in Question 

17.
