NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

             ATTENTION: ALL LEGALLY BLIND INDIVIDUALS WHO ATTEMPTED 
BUT WERE UNABLE TO ACCESS OR WHO WERE DETERRED FROM ACCESSING 
PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AVAILABLE AT COINSTAR KIOSKS IN ALL 50 STATES 
AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA STARTING ON FEBRUARY 8, 2014, THROUGH 
JULY 14, 2017, EXCEPT IN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE STARTING DATE IS 
FEBRUARY 8, 2013.

             This notice is to inform you about the proposed 
settlement that would resolve two class action lawsuits: Nguyen v. 
Outerwall Inc., No. 5:16-cv-00611-LS (E.D. Pa.) and Boyer v. 
Outerwall Inc., No. 2:17-cv-00853 (E.D. Pa.). The lawsuit alleges 
that Coinstar, LLC (fka Outerwall Inc.) violated federal law and 
California state law by offering services at self-service, 
touchscreen Coinstar kiosks that the lawsuit alleges were not 
independently useable by persons who are Legally Blind. Coinstar 
denies all liability in the case. In the proposed settlement, 
Coinstar will complete modification of one Coinstar Kiosk at each of 
its retail locations nationwide. The modifications will include 
ensuring a functional and tactile keypad exists on each modified 
Kiosk, the addition of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the addition of 
text-to-speech output via audio through the headphone jack. Further 
information regarding the modifications is available at 
www.coinstarkiosksettlement.com.
             If you used or attempted to use a Coinstar Kiosk in 
California at any point between February 8, 2013, and July 14, 2017, 
you may be entitled to payment of money as part of this settlement. 
This is because the California law allegedly violated allows for 
monetary payments. Depending on the number of individuals who submit 
a valid Claim Form, California Sub-Class Members may be eligible for 
up to $4,000.00 in monetary relief under the settlement. You may 
complete and submit a claim form on the settlement website at 
www.coinstarkiosksettlement.com or by requesting a Claim Form from 
Settlement Services Inc., the Claims Administrator, by phone, letter, 
fax, or email at: Nguyen v. Outerwall Inc., Claims Administrator,
