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.
