Opioids Implementation Administrator
opioidsparticipation@rubris.com <mailto:opioidsparticipation@rubris.com>
To: Jefferson County, WA
Reference Number: CL-1738172
TO LOCAL POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS:
Deadline: September 30, 2025
You are receiving this notice because your subdivision has NOT yet signed and returned a participation agreement for the National Opioid Settlement with Purdue (and certain of its affiliates)
and the Sackler family.
As a reminder, the deadline to participate is September 30, 2025.
The participation form was sent via DocuSign and contains the following information:
Sender: Opioids Implementation Administrator
Address of Sender: dse_na3@docusign.net <mailto:dse_na3@docusign.net>
Subject of Email: Action Required: Purdue Direct Settlement - CL-1738172
Please check your inbox, spam folder, and junk folder for the above email. You may contact opioidsparticipation@rubris.com <mailto:opioidsparticipation@rubris.com> to request your participation
form to be resent. Please include the name, state, and reference ID of your subdivision in the body of the email and use the subject line Settlement Participation Form - [Subdivision
Name, Subdivision State] - [Reference ID].
YOU MUST PARTICIPATE IN THE PURDUE DIRECT SETTLEMENT BY RETURNING YOUR PARTICIPATION FORM IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE BENEFITS OF THE PURDUE SETTLEMENT.
How to return signed forms:
There are three methods for returning the executed Participation Form and any supporting documentation to the Implementation Administrator:
1. Electronic Signature via DocuSign: Executing the Participation Form electronically through DocuSign will return the signed form to the Implementation Administrator and associate your
form with your subdivision's records. Electronic signature is the most efficient method for returning the Participation Form, allowing for more timely participation and the potential
to meet higher settlement payment thresholds, and is therefore strongly encouraged.
2. Manual Signature returned via DocuSign: DocuSign allows forms to be downloaded, signed manually, then uploaded to DocuSign and returned automatically to the Implementation Administrator.
Please be sure to complete all fields. As with electronic signature, returning manually signed Participation Forms via DocuSign will associate your signed form with your subdivision's
records.
3. Manual Signature returned via electronic mail: If your subdivision is unable to return an executed Participation Form using DocuSign, signed Participation Forms may be returned via
electronic mail to opioidsparticipation@rubris.com <mailto:opioidsparticipation@rubris.com> . Please include the name, state, and reference ID of your subdivision in the body of the
email and use the subject line Settlement Participation Form - [Subdivision Name, Subdivision State] - [Reference ID].

Please note that this is NOT a solicitation or a request for subdivisions to submit votes on the Purdue bankruptcy plan. This settlement package only pertains to a decision to participate
in the Purdue Direct Settlement. If you receive a package to vote on the plan you should follow the applicable instructions for voting. PLEASE NOTE THAT VOTING ON THE PLAN IS SEPARATE
FROM PARTICIPATION IN THE PURDUE DIRECT SETTLEMENT.
Additionally, the Purdue Direct Settlement packet is separate from the settlement packet for eight Secondary Manufacturers, which some subdivisions have received or will receive shortly.
If you have any questions about executing the participation form, please contact your counsel, your state Attorney General Office, or the Implementation Administrator at opioidsparticipation@rubris.c
