A settlement has been reached with Bray International Inc. (“Bray International” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This case is about a data security incident that occurred in April 2024 that affected certain information on Bray International's network (the “Data Incident”). Certain files that contained private information were potentially accessed. These files may have contained personal information, which varied by individual, and include names, Social Security numbers, and/or driver's license numbers.
The lawsuit is called Christopher Menard, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated v. Bray International Inc., Case No. 2025-51687. It is pending in the 151st Judicial District Court for Harris County, Texas (the “Litigation”). Bray International denies all of the claims made against it in the Litigation, as well as all allegations of wrongdoing or liability against it. The Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.
