To recover as a Class Member based on the claims in the Litigation, you must complete and sign the Proof of Claim and Release Form (“Proof of Claim”). If you fail to submit a completed Proof of Claim, your Claim may be rejected and you may be precluded from any recovery from the Net Settlement Fund created in connection with the proposed Settlement.

YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR COMPLETED AND SIGNED PROOF OF CLAIM, ACCOMPANIED BY COPIES OF THE DOCUMENTS REQUESTED HEREIN, ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER 16, 2024. If you choose to mail the Proof of Claim, it must be postmarked or received by this date and addressed to the Claims Administrator using the address at the bottom of this page.
If you are NOT a Class Member, as defined in the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action (“Notice”), DO NOT submit a Proof of Claim.
If you are a Class Member and you do not timely request exclusion from the Class, you will be bound by the terms of any judgment entered in the Litigation, including the releases provided therein, WHETHER OR NOT YOU SUBMIT A PROOF OF CLAIM.
CLAIMANT IDENTIFICATION
You are a Member of the Class if you purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (“Cabot”) between February 22, 2016, and June 12, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”), and were damaged thereby, and are not otherwise excluded from the Class.
Use the section entitled “Claimant Identification” to identify each purchaser or acquirer of record (“nominee”) of the Cabot common stock that forms the basis of the claim. THE PROOF OF CLAIM MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THE ACTUAL BENEFICIAL PURCHASER(S) OR ACQUIRER(S) OR THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCH PURCHASER(S) OR ACQUIRER(S) OF CABOT COMMON STOCK UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.
All joint purchasers or acquirers must sign the Proof of Claim. Executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, and trustees must complete and sign the claim on behalf of Persons represented by them and their authority must accompany the claim and their titles or capacities must be stated. The last four digits of the Social Security Number (or Taxpayer Identification Number) and telephone number of the beneficial owner may be used in verifying the claim. Failure to provide the foregoing information could delay verification of your claim or result in the rejection of the claim.
A Proof of Claim should be submitted for each separate legal entity (e.g., a claim of joint owners should not include separate transactions of just one of the joint owners, and an individual should not combine his or her IRA transactions with transactions made solely in the individual’s name). Conversely, a single Proof of Claim should be submitted on behalf of one legal entity including all transactions made by that entity, no matter how many separate accounts that entity has (e.g., an institution with multiple brokerage accounts that the entity has transacted in Cabot common stock during the Class Period).
CLAIM FORM
Use the section(s) entitled “Schedule of Transactions in Cabot Common Stock” to supply all required details of your transaction(s). If you need more space or additional schedules, attach separate sheets giving all of the required information in substantially the same form. Sign and type your name on each additional sheet.
On the schedules, provide all of the requested information with respect to all of your purchases, acquisitions, and sales of Cabot common stock that took place between February 22, 2016 and September 11, 2020, inclusive, whether such transactions resulted in a profit or a loss. You must also provide all of the requested information with respect to the number of shares of Cabot common stock you held at the close of trading on February 21, 2016 and September 11, 2020. Failure to report all such transactions may result in the rejection of your claim.
List each transaction separately and in chronological order, by trade date, beginning with the earliest. You must accurately provide the month, day, and year of each transaction you list.
The date of covering a “short sale” is deemed to be the date of purchase or other acquisition of Cabot common stock. The date of a “short sale” is deemed to be the date of sale of Cabot common stock.
COPIES OF BROKER CONFIRMATIONS OR OTHER DOCUMENTATION OF YOUR TRANSACTIONS IN CABOT COMMON STOCK SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO YOUR PROOF OF CLAIM. FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS DOCUMENTATION COULD DELAY VERIFICATION OF YOUR CLAIM OR RESULT IN THE REJECTION OF YOUR CLAIM. THE SETTLING PARTIES DO NOT HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR TRANSACTIONS IN CABOT COMMON STOCK.
PLEASE NOTE: As set forth in the Plan of Allocation contained in the Notice, each Authorized Claimant shall receive his, her, its, or their pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund. If the prorated payment to any Authorized Claimant calculates to less than $10.00, it will not be included in the calculation and no distribution will be made to that Authorized Claimant.
NOTICE REGARDING ELECTRONIC FILES: Certain claimants with large numbers of transactions may request, or may be requested, to submit information regarding their transactions in electronic files. All such claimants MUST also submit a manually signed paper Proof of Claim whether or not they also submit electronic copies. If you wish to submit your claim electronically, you must contact the Claims Administrator at CBOSecurities@JNDLA.com to obtain the required file layout. No electronic files will be considered to have been properly submitted unless the Claims Administrator issues to the claimant a written acknowledgment of receipt and acceptance of electronically submitted data.
