The deadline for filing claims in the Quebec Opioids Class Action, initially set for July 31, 2026, has been extended to November 30, 2026 , to allow more class members (including heirs) to file a claim.

Class members who submit their claim form before November 30, 2026, have until February 28, 2027 , to send the medical documents supporting their claim. Heirs of deceased class members also have until February 28, 2027, to submit the documents proving their status as heirs.

The Opioid Class Action will continue against the Defendants who did not enter into a settlement agreement.

DISTRIBUTION OF SETTLEMENT FUNDS TO MEMBERS

The Settlement Agreements approved by the Court since the beginning of the Quebec Opioids Class Action provide for a distribution amount of approximately $22,600,000 (the “ Settlement Fund ”), to be divided among members with valid claims. Members who have submitted a valid claim will share equally in the Settlement Fund. At this time, the amount that will be distributed to each person with a valid claim has not been determined.

To be eligible for compensation, members must complete and submit the claim form approved by the Court before the deadline, and provide documentary evidence proving that:

• between 1996 and the present day, as a Quebec resident, they were prescribed and consumed one or more type of opioid products found in the “List of Eligible Opioid for Claims Process only” (see list attached to the Claim Form); and
• they received a diagnosis of opioid use disorder or treatment for opioid use disorder.

The direct heirs of deceased persons who meet these criteria are also members of the Opioid Class Action and eligible to participate in the distribution.

All relevant documents are available on the Claims Administrator’s website: www.MNP.ca/QCopioid .
