PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE, that in connection with the Settlement Motion, the Settlement Trustee is seeking approval of the settlement and sale of the Purchased Property, free and clear of all liens, claims, interest, charges and encumbrances. This "free and clear" sale of the Purchased Property contains certain releases, injunctions, and other protective provisions in favor of USF&G. The sale proposes Injunctions that permanently enjoin all persons who have held or asserted, or may in the future hold or assert, any Claims from taking any action, directly or indirectly, for purposes of asserting, enforcing, or attempting to assert or enforce any Claim against USF&G or the Insurer Released Parties (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) or the property or assets of each (all as defined in the Settlement Agreement). The Settlement Trustee is seeking to fully release any Claims against USF&G or the Insurer Released Parties arising from or related in any way to the Travelers Policies. There are additional provisions in the Settlement Agreement – beyond those set forth in the preceding sentences – which should be reviewed to understand completely the Settlement Agreement and its effect on your rights. PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE, that the Settlement Agreement preserves rights of certain parties for Preserved Claims with respect to Preserved Coverage, which relate to claims for Abuse asserted against the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux SD (i.e. the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux as it existed on and after June 5, 1977). Specifically, the Settlement Agreement provides that Preserved Claims include those claims for Abuse which have been asserted or in the future may be asserted solely against the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux SD, for which coverage under the Travelers Policies is preserved, subject to all limits, declarations, terms and conditions of such policies. PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE, that Preserved Claims also include claims alleging Abuse asserted in a proof of claim filed in the Bankruptcy Case (such proof of claim filed on or before December 2, 2025) containing allegations of Abuse against the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux SD or implicating a priest within the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux SD. If any such claimant intends to maintain their right to file a claim or lawsuit against the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux SD and/or USF&G (but solely in its capacity as an insurer of, and only for Abuse allegedly committed by, Houma-Thibodaux SD) under any policy in which the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux SD is an additional named insured, such claimant shall provide notice of intent to file such claim or lawsuit not later than April 16, 2026 in writing to the below counsel to the Settlement Trustee, otherwise such claim shall be waived and extinguished.
