STATEMENT OF WORK AND PROJECT PROPOSAL

DATE: May 31, 2019

PROJECT NAME: PG&E Mailing and Media

REQUESTED BY: Karen M. Lockhart, Chairperson

Official Committee of Tort Claimants

c/o Robert Julian

Baker & Hostetler LLP

11601 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1400

Los Angeles, CA 90025

SCOPE OF WORK & COST BREAKDOWN:

1. Scope of Work. As the Fire Claim Bar Date Noticing Agent, Angeion Group, LLC (“Angeion”) agrees to 

perform the below notice and administration services (“Services”):

a. Develop and implement a notice program (the “Notice Program”) for the Fire Claim Bar Date. 

The Notice Program will provide for both direct notice by U.S. mail and email, and indirect notice 

through an integrated, multimedia campaign. The Notice Program will be tailored to take into 

consideration that many Fire Claimants (1) have had to relocate, are homeless or in temporary 

housing, (2) may be reliant on their mobile devices for receiving news or notices, (3) do not speak 

or read English and require notice in other languages, and (4) are demographically and socioeconomically diverse. 

b. Conduct an investigation into the identity and current contact information for known and 

reasonably ascertainable Fire Claimants. The investigation will include researching public 

records, third-party data aggregation sources, and if necessary, requesting authorization from the 

Court to issue subpoenas. Angeion will also utilize the U.S. Postal Service (“USPS”) National 

Change of Address database to identify updated address information for individuals and 

businesses who have moved in the last four years and who filed a change of address card with the 

USPS. Angeion will also perform verification searches (also known as skip tracing) for Fire 

Claimants whose notices are returned as undeliverable by the USPS without a forwarding address.

c. Implement an integrated paid media campaign which will utilize state-of-the-art targeted internet 

banner advertisements, custom social media campaigns, a bespoke broadcast radio/television 

campaign, a network of digital and static billboards, a combination of local, regional, and national 

print publications, and a nationwide, yet geographically tailored, public relations campaign.

d. Implement an earned media campaign designed to take advantage of the substantial news coverage 

the Fires and Chapter 11 Cases have already garnered and continue to drive media to cover the 

story at a local, regional and national level.

e. Engage in a grassroots word-of-mouth campaign and experiential marketing across all of the 

counties affected by the fires.

f. Provide information regarding Prime Clerk LLC’s (“Prime Clerk”) website and toll-free number 

in order to enable Fire Claimants to obtain additional information regarding the Fire Claim Bar 

Date and Fire Proof of Claim Form.

g. Perform such other tasks as may be agreed to by Angeion and directed by the TCC or order of any 

court having jurisdiction over the TCC.

2. Additional Services. Services not specifically identified in the Project Proposal (“Additional Services”) 

that are requested by the Official Committee of Tort Claimants (the “TCC” or “Client”) or are otherwise 

required in order for Angeion to complete performance of its administrative responsibilities are subject to 

additional costs and fees. Any Additional Services that extend or expand the scope of work described 

herein and outlined in the Angeion Group Project Proposal shall be mutually agreed upon between the
