Following Court approval, and as described more fully in the Notice, Plaintiffs, on behalf of the Class, have agreed to settle all Released Claims (as defined in Question 10 of the Notice) against Defendants and other Released Defendant Parties in exchange for a settlement payment of $40 million in cash to be deposited into an escrow account. The Net Settlement Fund will be distributed in accordance with the Court-approved plan of allocation and will determine how the Net Settlement Fund shall be distributed to members of the Class.
