A system for coupling a shroud to a case associated with a gas turbine engine and a gas turbine engine including such a system includes the case defining a bore and the shroud retained within the case. The shroud defines a pocket. The system includes a pin received through the bore and at least partially positioned within the pocket. The pin has a perimeter. The system includes a load spreader including a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side is interconnected to the second side by a flexible portion. The first side, the second side and the flexible portion are received about a portion of the perimeter of the pin, and the load spreader is configured to transmit at least one of an axial point load and a circumferential point load from the pin over a surface of the shroud.
