YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a hearing will be held on October 9, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable James Donato at the United States District Court, Northern District of California, Phillip Burton Federal Building & United States Courthouse, Courtroom 11, 19th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102, to determine whether: (1) the proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) of the above-captioned action as set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement (“Stipulation”)1 for $150,000,000 in cash should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (2) the Judgment as provided under the Stipulation should be entered dismissing the Action with prejudice; (3) to award Lead Counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses out of the Settlement Fund (as defined in the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action (“Notice”), which is discussed below) and to award Lead Plaintiff for his time and expenses pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §78u-4(a)(4) in connection with his representation of the Class, and, if so, in what amounts; and (4) the Plan of Allocation should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate.
