Docusign Envelope ID: 7628FF65-289A-4221-8E24-97188E34407C effective. If the Purdue Settlement does not move forward, that release will not become effective. Any subdivision that does not participate in the Purdue Direct Settlement cannot directly share in the Purdue Direct Settlement funds, even if other subdivisions in the state are participating and sharing in those Purdue Direct Settlement funds. Any subdivision that does not participate may also reduce the amount of money for programs to remediate the opioid crisis in its state. Please note, a subdivision will not necessarily directly receive Purdue Settlement funds by participating; decisions on how Purdue Settlement funds will be allocated within a state are subject to intrastate agreements or state statutes. You are encouraged to discuss the terms and benefits of the Purdue Settlement with your counsel, your Attorney General's Office, and other contacts within your state. Many states are implementing and allocating funds for the Purdue Settlement the same as they did for the prior opioids settlements but states may choose to treat the Purdue Settlement differently. Information and documents regarding the Purdue Settlement, including a complete copy of the Governmental Entity and Shareholder Direct Settlement Agreement, and how it is being implemented in your state and how funds will be allocated within your state can be found on the national settlement website at btti.5://nationalol>Io.idsettl.emen,t,co,mjFl,uurd.ue sa,cklers.-settle.ments/. This website will be supplemented as additional documents are created. You may also visit the Texas Attorney General's Office website at b.tt1C")s: k wW,w.tex,as-. ttorne. ig,!e,Delal,.lel_av/giol)b ,op ol.dsettlement for information. How to return signed forms: Please note that the Texas Attorney General's Office is collecting the executed Participation Form differently from prior opioid settlements. 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 a manually signed Participation Form via DocuSign will associate your signed forms with your subdivision's records.
