YOUR RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY THIS ACTION.

This lawsuit, which has been certified as a class action, seeks to recover unpaid principal and interest on the AA95 Notes and the AT10 Bonds, plus prejudgment "interest on interest" from the date each interest payment should have been made. 

Venezuela has asserted affirmative defenses as to these claims and has also appealed the Court's class certification decision. The Court has made no ruling on the merits of the claims in the lawsuit. No money has been recovered, and there is no guarantee that any money will be recovered.

If you choose to remain a Class member, you do not need to do anything at this time other than retain your interests in the AA95 Notes and/or AT10 Bonds. As a Class member, you may be entitled to participate in any benefits that may eventually be obtained for Class members as a result of this lawsuit. You will also be bound by all orders, settlements, and judgments in this litigation, whether favorable or unfavorable, and cannot pursue your own lawsuit regarding any of the issues in this litigation.

If you choose to exclude yourself from the class action ("opt out"), you must submit a request for exclusion on the website described below or by email or mail no later than July 13, 2026.
