File A Claim

You may be eligible to receive a payment from a proposed $782,500 non-reversionary class action settlement (the “Settlement Fund”).

●       The class action lawsuit concerns a cyberattack experienced by Limestone Bank between November 21, 2022, and March 23, 2023, (the “Security Incident”) in which it was determined that an unauthorized third party may have gained access to certain Limestone Bank files containing, among other things, full names, dates of birth, addresses, Social Security numbers, and financial account numbers (collectively referred to in this Settlement as “Private Information”). Peoples Bank acquired Limestone Bank in April 2023. Peoples Bank, as successor to Limestone Bank ("Defendant") denies any wrongdoing and denies that it has any liability but has agreed to settle the lawsuit on a class wide basis.

●       To be eligible to make a claim, you must have been provided notice of the Limestone Bank Security Incident that occurred between November 21, 2022, and March 23, 2023.

●       Eligible claimants under the Settlement Agreement will be eligible to receive one, two, and/or three of the following Settlement benefits:

  •  Pro-Rata Cash Payment:  A $85 cash payment from the Settlement Fund that will be increased or decreased pro rata depending on the amount remaining in the Settlement Fund after allocation of the Settlement Fund for reimbursement of documented Out-of-Pocket Expenses, attorneys’ fees and expenses, Service Awards, and Notice and Administrative Expenses; and/or
  • Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Reimbursement for the actual amount of unreimbursed Out-of-Pocket Expenses or expenses up to $5,000, with supporting documentation of the monetary losses or expenses.
