    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.

    eBooks between April 1, 2010 and March 10, 2017 are
