Now Accepting Claims

As previously noticed, effective January 1, 2026, the North American Refractories
Company Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust (the “NARCO Trust”) will
transition its claims processing to the Delaware Claims Processing Facility (“DCPF”).
While all NARCO Trust data will be transferred to the DCPF, after that transfer certain
data will no longer be accessible to law firm users. This notice explains what data will
no longer be accessible and what law firms can do to preserve any data prior to the
transition.

Pre-Established Liquidated Claims (“PEL”) – This term refers to any submission
with a Claim Election of Pre-Established Liquidated or PEL. Pre-Established Liquidated
claims WILL NOT be loaded into DCPF’s Trust Online system (“Trust Online”) and
therefore will not be accessible to law firms after December 31, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
Any questions related to PEL submissions should be directed to Trust Counsel, Heather
Panko at panko@sbep-law.com.

Filings – This term refers to any submission designated with the “FLN” type other
than PEL claims addressed above in the CRMC eClaims system (“eClaims”). These FLN
records have not been submitted to the NARCO Trust and are not claims.

The data for FLNs that fall into the two categories below WILL NOT be loaded into
Trust Online, and therefore will not be accessible to law firms after December 31, 2025,
at 5:00 p.m. ET:

1. Deleted FLNs: These are FLNs that have been deleted by the law firm and have a
   “DELETED” status in eClaims.
2. Inactive FLNs: These are FLNs added to eClaims before January 1, 2025, that have
   not been edited or updated on or after January 1, 2025. See the Detail Tab in eClaims
   to determine the Claim Type (“FLN”) and the History tab for key dates such as
   when the FLN was added to eClaims and when updates occurred.

If you have a PEL submission or a Filing(s)/FLN(s) that falls into one of the above
categories and you wish to obtain a copy of the data associated with the PEL or FLN
from eClaims, you must log into eClaims and download the information by December
31, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. ET.

To be clear, the NARCO Trust is not deleting or destroying any PEL or Filing(s)/FLN(s)
information. All NARCO Trust data will be transferred to DCPF. However, the
information for the above categories of PEL submissions and Filings/FLNs will not be
accessible through Trust Online.

Effective January 1, 2026, the North American Refractories Company Asbestos Personal
Injury Settlement Trust (the “NARCO Trust”) will transition its claims processing to
the Delaware Claims Processing Facility (“DCPF”).

CRMC will stop accepting new claim filings on December 31, 2025, at 5:00 pm EST.
DCPF expects to commence accepting new NARCO Trust claims through its Trust
Online system in mid-January 2026.

The NARCO Trust will provide additional information regarding the transition and
processing of claims in the coming days. Please watch for additional announcements
from the NARCO Trust. In the meantime, all claims and claims related inquiries should
continue to go to CRMC.

The Trustees of the NARCO Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust (the “Trust”) write to inform you that the Trust has retained Alvarez & Marsal to conduct the Trust’s claims audit program (“Claims Audit Program”) as described in the Claims Audit Program document dated April 1, 2023, available  on the Trust’s website at  https://www.narcoasbestostrust.org, under “Trust Documents.”
