| YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THE SETTLEMENT | |
|---|---|
| SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN APRIL 17, 2024. | This is the only way to be potentially eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement Fund. If you are a Settlement Class Member and you remain in the Settlement Class, you will be bound by the Settlement as approved by the Court and you will give up any Released Lead Plaintiff’s Claims (defined in paragraph 28 of the Notice.) that you have against Defendants and the other Defendants’ Releasees (defined in paragraph 29 of the Notice.), so it is in your interest to submit a Claim Form. |
| EXCLUDE YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT CLASS BY SUBMITTING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR EXCLUSION SO THAT IT IS RECEIVED NO LATER THAN MARCH 20, 2024. | DEADLINE HAS PASSED |
| OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT BY SUBMITTING A WRITTEN OBJECTION SO THAT IT IS RECEIVED NO LATER THAN MARCH 20, 2024. | DEADLINE HAS PASSED |
| ATTEND A HEARING ON APRIL 10, 2024, AT 9:30 A.M., AND FILE A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO APPEAR SO THAT IT IS RECEIVED NO LATER THAN MARCH 20, 2024. | Filing a written objection and notice of intention to appear by March 20, 2024, allows you to speak in Court, at the discretion of the Court, about the fairness of the proposed Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, and/or the request for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses. If you submit a written objection, you may (but you do not have to) attend the hearing and, at the discretion of the Court, speak to the Court about your objection. |
| DO NOTHING | If you are a member of the Settlement Class and you do not submit a valid Claim Form, you will not be eligible to receive any payment from the Settlement Fund. You will, however, remain a member of the Settlement Class, which means that you give up your right to sue about the claims that are resolved by the Settlement, and you will be bound by any judgments or orders entered by the Court in the Action. |
The Settlement Hearing
A hearing will be held on April 10, 2024, at 9:30 a.m., before the Honorable Lewis A.

The hearing will determine (i) whether the proposed Settlement should be approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (ii) whether the Action should be dismissed with prejudice against Defendants, and the Releases specified and described in the Stipulation And Agreement Of Settlement (and in the Notice) should be granted; (iii) whether the proposed Plan of Allocation should be approved as fair and reasonable; (iv) whether Lead Counsel’s application for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses should be approved; and (v) whether to award Lead Plaintiff out of the Settlement Fund pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §78u-4(a)(4) in connection with his representation of the Settlement Class and, if so, in what amount.
