DocuSign Envelope ID: 2F66D48D-B2D7-495D-BE55-719AA73125EF PARTICIPATION INSTRUCTIONS Thank you for registering your subdivision on the national settlement website and for considering participating in the proposed Settlement Agreement with Johnson & Johnson, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Janssen Pharmaceutica, Inc. (collectively "Janssen"). This virtual envelope contains a Participation Form including a release of claims. The Participation Form in this envelope must be executed, without alteration, and submitted in order for your subdivision to be considered potentially "participating." The sign -on period for subdivisions ends on January 2, 2022. On or after that date, the states (in consultation with the subdivisions) and the Settling Distributors will determine whether the subdivision participation rate is sufficient for the settlement to move forward. If the deal moves forward, your release will become effective. If it does not, it will not. As a reminder, if you have not already started your review of the settlement documentation, detailed information about the Settlements may be found at: . This national settlement website also includes links to information about how the Settlements are being implemented in your state and how settlement funds will be allocated within your state, including information about, and links to, any applicable allocation agreement or legislation. This website will be supplemented as additional documents are created. The Minnesota Attorney General's Office has also set up a website at www.ag.state.mn.us/opioids. If you have questions, please contact your counsel (if you have counsel on opioids matters) or send an e-mail to the Attorney General's Office at opioids@ag.state.mn.us.
