PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. IGNORING THIS NOTICE WILL AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

WHO IS THIS NOTICE FOR?

This Notice is directed to:

1) All persons who reside or have resided in Canada who were prescribed and ingested the drug REXULTI® during the Class Period, starting from February 16, 2017, and who thereafter developed one or more of the following Compulsive Behaviours and Impulse Control Disorders:

• compulsive gambling;

• hypersexuality;

• binge eating; and

• compulsive shopping and/or spending; and

2) the family members, dependents, heirs and estates of such persons.

On December 3, 2021, the Superior Court of Québec authorized a national class action against Otsuka Canada Pharmaceutical Inc. and Lundbeck Canada Inc.

The Plaintiffs allege that REXULTI® causes Compulsive Behaviours and Impulse Control Disorders, including compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, compulsive shopping, and binge eating, and that the Defendants failed to adequately warn the Class Members and their physicians of this risk. They allege that the Defendants failed to conduct adequate research and testing in relation to those side effects and conspired to conceal the risks of these harmful side effects from the Class Members. It is also alleged that the Defendants’ failures and acts caused the Class Members harm.

The action seeks, among other things, damages for both personal injuries and financial loss as well as damages allegedly suffered by family members of individuals taking REXULTI®. The Defendants deny these allegations, and the Superior Court has not yet ruled on the merits of the class action.

PARTICIPATING IN THE CLASS ACTION

If you were prescribed and ingested REXULTI® anytime after February 2017 you are automatically included in the action and do not need to do anything at this time. You do not need to take any further action to join this class action. As a Class Member, you will not be responsible for legal costs if a class action is unsuccessful. If the action is successful and a settlement or judgment is reached, a further notice will be provided with complete details concerning the terms of the settlement or judgment.

Class Members who do not opt out of the Action will be bound by the terms of any judgment or settlement, whether favourable or not, and will not be allowed to prosecute an individual action against the defendants for any of the factual matters raised in the Action. To determine if you are entitled to share in the award or settlement and the amount, if any, of your share, it may be necessary to conduct an individual determination. You will have the opportunity to decide if you wish to proceed with your individual entitlement determination before it begins.
