A hearing will be held before the Honorable Richard F. Boulware, on February 9, 2024, at 8:30 am in Courtroom 7C of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, at the Lloyd D. George Courthouse, 333 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV 89101 (the “U.S. Settlement Hearing”) to, among other things, determine whether the U.S. Court should: (i) approve the proposed U.S. Settlement as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (ii) dismiss the U.S. Action with prejudice as provided in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, dated May 25, 2023; (iii) approve the proposed U.S. Plan of Allocation for distribution of the settlement funds available for distribution to U.S. Settlement Class Members (the “U.S. Net Settlement Fund”); and (iv) approve U.S. Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Fee and Expense Application.
