NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF CLASS ACTION
TO:
All persons from whom Urban Outfitters, Inc. or Anthropologie, Inc. requested and recorded ZIP codes
in conjunction with an in-store credit card purchase transaction in California from February 15, 2010
through February 10, 2011 (the “Class”).
IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THIS CLASS OF PERSONS, YOU SHOULD READ THIS NOTICE
CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT WILL AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS.
The Court has certified this lawsuit known as Dremak, et al. v. Urban Outfitters, Inc., et al., Case No. 37-201100085814-CU-BT-CTL, as a class action. This notice informs you of your rights and options and the deadlines
by which you must act.
If you are a member of the Class of persons as described above, you have to decide whether to stay in the Class
and be bound by the results of the lawsuit, or ask to be excluded by the Court and keep your right to separately
sue Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie. The judgment in this lawsuit, whether favorable or not, will bind all
Class members who do not request exclusion by December 18, 2014.
WHAT IS THIS CASE ABOUT?
The Court has certified this lawsuit as a class action. The lawsuit claims that defendants Urban Outfitters and
Anthropologie (“Defendants”) violated California Civil Code § 1747.08 by requesting and recording ZIP Codes
from customers during credit card purchase transactions at retail stores located in California. Defendants deny
allegations of wrongdoing and deny that any Class member is entitled to any relief. The Court has not
determined whether the Class or Defendants are right. There is no money available now and no guarantee that
there will be. The lawyers for the Class will have to prove their claims at trial. A trial has been set for April 3,
2015.
The Court has appointed Blood Hurst & O’Reardon, LLP and Stonebarger Law as Class Counsel to represent
you and the other Class members, and designated Andrew Dremak, Donna Motta, and Anne Nicolucci as Class
Representatives.
YOUR OPTIONS IN THIS LAWSUIT
1. STAY IN THIS LAWSUIT. If you want to remain a Class member and stay in this lawsuit, you do not have
to do anything at this time. By doing nothing, your claims will be resolved in this lawsuit. You cannot
separately sue any of the Defendants. The judgment, rulings and orders in this case, whether favorable or
unfavorable, will be binding upon you. However, if any money or benefits are awarded after trial or settlement,
you will be notified about how to obtain your share. If you do not request exclusion, you may enter an
appearance through your own counsel, but are not required to do so. If you retain separate counsel, you will be
responsible for the fees and expenses of your attorney.
2. ASK TO BE EXCLUDED. You have a right to exclude yourself from the Class. If you exclude yourself,
your claims against the Defendants will not be resolved in this lawsuit and you will retain your right to
separately pursue your claims at your own cost. However, if any money or benefits are awarded in this class
action, you won’t share in those. To ask to be excluded, you must send a letter postmarked by December 18,
2014, to Dremak v. Urban Outfitters Class Action, c/o Dahl Administration, P.O. Box 3614, Minneapolis, MN
55403-0614. The letter must state that you want to be excluded from Dremak v. Urban Outfitters, Inc., and
