Question 1

What is the Notice and why should I read it?

Accepted Answer

The Court authorized the Notice
[https://angeion-public.s3.amazonaws.com/www.epoasettlementtmui.com/docs/4278_Notice.pdf]
to inform you about a proposed settlement with Defendants. You have legal rights
and options that you may act on before the Court decides whether to approve the
proposed settlement. You may be eligible to receive a cash payment as part of
the settlement. The Notice
[https://angeion-public.s3.amazonaws.com/www.epoasettlementtmui.com/docs/4278_Notice.pdf]
explains the Lawsuit, the Class Action Settlement Agreement
[https://angeion-public.s3.amazonaws.com/www.epoasettlementtmui.com/docs/Lowe+v.+T-Mobile_Settlement+Agreement.pdf]
(“Settlement Agreement”), and your legal rights.

Judge David Whedbee of King County Superior Court is overseeing this class
action. The case is titled Lowe v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., et al., Case
No. 25-2-14873-4 SEA.

Rory Lowe is the Plaintiff
or Class Representative. The companies she sued, T-Mobile USA, Inc.; T-Mobile
Central LLC; T-Mobile Financial LLC; T-Mobile Leasing LLC; T-Mobile Resources
LLC; and T-Mobile West LLC, are the Defendants.

Question 2

What is a class action lawsuit?

Accepted Answer

A class action is a lawsuit in which one or more plaintiffs sue on behalf of a
group of people who have similar claims. Together, this group is called a
“Settlement Class” and consists of “Settlement Class Members.” In
a class action, the court resolves the issues for all class members, except
those who exclude themselves from the class.

Question 3

What is this lawsuit about?

Accepted Answer

Plaintiff claims that Defendants violated Washington law, RCW 49.58.110,
when they allegedly did not disclose the wage scale or salary range and/or a
general description of the benefits and other compensation being offered on job
postings for open positions.

Defendants deny that they are or can be held liable for the claims made in the
Lawsuit. More information about the Lawsuit can be found in the Important
Documents [/important-documents] page.

Question 4

Why is there a settlement?

Accepted Answer

The Court has not decided whether Plaintiff or Defendants should
win this case. Instead, both sides agreed to this settlement. That way, they can
avoid the uncertainty, risks, and expense of ongoing litigation, and Settlement
Class Members will get compensation now rather than years later—if
ever. Plaintiff and Class Counsel, attorneys for the Settlement
Class Members, agree the settlement is in the best interests of the Settlement
Class Members. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Defendants.

Question 5

How do I know if I am in the Settlement Class?

Accepted Answer

Defendants’ records show you are part of the Settlement Class because you
applied for a job opening in Washington with the Defendants between January 1,
2023, and May, 21, 2026 (the “Settlement Class Period”), where the job posting
did not disclose the wage scale or salary range for the position and/or a
general description of benefits and other compensation.

If you are still not sure whether you are included, you can contact the
Settlement Administrator by emailing info@EPOASettlementTMUI.com, or by visiting
the Important Documents [/important-documents] page.
