Legal Notice

This legal notice is to inform you of proposed Settlements between
Plaintiffs and Defendants NuCal Foods, Inc. ("NuCal"), Hillandale
Farms of Pa., Inc. ("Hillandale Pa."), and Hillandale-Gettysburg, L.P.
("Hillandale-Gettysburg"), reached in the class action lawsuit In re Processed
Egg Products Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 08-md-02002, pending in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The Settlement "Classes" include all persons and entities in the United States
that purchased Shell Eggs and Egg Products in the United States directly from
any producer from January 1, 2000 through December 19, 2014.
Plaintiffs claim that Defendants conspired to limit the supply of Shell Eggs
and Egg Products, which raised the price of Shell Eggs and Egg Products and,
therefore, violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, a federal statute that prohibits
agreements that unreasonably restrain competition. The settling Defendants
deny all of Plaintiffs' allegations.
Under the Settlements, Plaintiffs will release all claims against NuCal,
Hillandale Pa., Hillandale-Gettysburg, Hillandale Farms East, Inc., and
Hillandale Farms, Inc. In exchange, NuCal will pay $1,425,000, and
Hillandale Pa. and Hillandale-Gettysburg will collectively pay $3,000,000,
into a settlement fund for the benefit of the Classes. Plaintiffs also will receive
documents and information that Plaintiffs' attorneys believe will aid in their
analysis and prosecution of this Action.
If you are a Class Member your legal rights are affected, and you now have
a choice to make.

recent Settlements. If the Court grants final approval to the Settlements, they
will be binding upon you and all other Class Members. By remaining part
of the Settlements, you will give up any potential claims that you may have
against NuCal, Hillandale Pa., Hillandale-Gettysburg, Hillandale Farms East,
Inc., and Hillandale Farms, Inc., relating to the claims alleged in this lawsuit.
You may be eligible to receive a settlement payment at a future date.

Settlements and wish to retain your rights to pursue your own lawsuit relating
to the claims alleged in this lawsuit, you must formally exclude yourself from
the Classes by sending a signed letter to the Claims Administrator postmarked
