All Persons and Entities who purchased, sold, held, traded, or otherwise had any interest in SIBOR- and/or SOR-Based Derivatives during
the period from January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2011 (the “Class Period”). You are not included in the Settlement Class if you are a
Defendant or any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or agent of any Defendant or any co-conspirator (whether or not that co-conspirator was
named as a defendant). In addition, the United States government is excluded from the Settlement Class.
If you are still not sure if you are included, you may contact the Settlement Administrator for more information. If you have reason to
believe that you are a member of the Settlement Class, you can fill out and return the Proof of Claim and Release form. Proofs of Claim
must postmarked no later than December 29, 2022. A copy of the Proof of Claim form can be found
here or you can file online
at www.SiborSettlement.com.
The exact amount each qualifying Settlement Class Member will receive from the Net Settlement Fund cannot be calculated until (1) the
Court approves the Settlements; (2) Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Incentive Awards are deducted from the Settlement Fund; and (3) the number
of participating Class Members and the amount of their Transaction Claim Amounts are determined. In addition, each Settlement
Class member’s share, if any, of the Net Settlement Fund will vary depending on the information the Settlement Class Member provides
on the Proof of Claim.
Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel (also known as Class Counsel) have proposed a Distribution Plan that will be used to calculate each Settlement Class Member’s payment from the Net Settlement Fund. A copy of the Distribution Plan that has been preliminarily approved by the Court can be downloaded here.
Please note that the Distribution Plan may be changed by the Court without providing further notice. The final approval, disapproval, or modification of any proposed distribution plan shall not affect the preliminary or final approval of the Settlements or enforceability of the Settlement Agreements.
