CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS

New Legal Notice of New Benefits in Amended Class Action Settlement - 1050 W. Columbia Condominium Association, et al. v. CSC ServiceWorks, Inc., Case No. 2019-CH-07319

THIS IS A NEW NOTICE DESCRIBING NEW BENEFITS YOU MIGHT BE ENTITLED TO FROM AN AMENDED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. THE SETTLEMENT INVOLVES CSC SERVICEWORKS, INC.’S DEDUCTION OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE FEE FROM YOUR LAUNDRY ROOM’S GROSS COLLECTIONS.

A court authorized this Supplemental Notice. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

• An Amended Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit claiming that Defendant CSC ServiceWorks, Inc. (“CSC”), a laundry services provider, deducted an Administrative Fee amounting to 9.75% of lessors’ gross collections. Plaintiffs claim that deducting this Administrative Fee breached lease agreements between lessors and CSC. CSC asserts the fee is necessary and legally warranted and has denied any liability.

• You may have previously received a notice in connection with this case in late 2019 or early 2020. Since then, the Court has held several hearings related to the proposed settlement of this matter. The Parties have decided to update the settlement in certain ways that they believe will further benefit you and the other Settlement Class Members. This Supplemental Notice, which the Court approved, explains the Amended Settlement and the amended settlement relief available under it.

• You are included in the Amended Settlement if you had an existing lease with CSC on May 1, 2017, and were assessed or subject to—i.e., even if one wasn’t collected—one or more Administrative Fee deductions amounting to approximately 9.75% of your gross collections.

• If you submit a valid claim, you will get a settlement payment equal to half (50%) of your share of the Administrative Fees paid in connection with the laundry lease agreement in effect at your property in May 2017. In addition, if you submit a valid claim, CSC will also stop charging the Administrative Fee if your laundry lease agreement existing as of May 1, 2017 has not yet renewed or been replaced with a new lease. That suspension will remain in place until the lease is renewed or you sign a new lease.You do not need to do anything if you previously submitted an Option 1 Election Form for the initially proposed settlement.

• For those Settlement Class Members with renewed, replaced, or new leases after CSC disclosed the Administrative Fee in May 2017, that fee will continue, but the rate of the fee will be frozen at 9.75% for two years beginning approximately 30 days after the Final Approval Hearing, discussed below.

• CSC has also agreed to waive its right to seek to collect around $197.5 million it claims it is owed by Settlement Class Members in uncompensated expenses and deficits owed in rent payments.

• You do not need to file a claim to receive the rate freeze or waiver of CSC’s claims against you.

• Read this Notice carefully. Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act.
