Nominees

PLEASE NOTE: In connection with the dissemination of the Notice of Pendency, Nominees/Brokers were asked to identify potential Class Members. You MUST NOW DETERMINE whether there are additional Class Members for which you have not yet provided names and addresses or to whom you did not send the Claim Packet.

  1. Nominees/Brokers That Previously Provided Names and Addresses of Beneficial Owners

    If, in connection with the mailing of the Notice of Pendency, you provided the Notice Administrator with a list of names and addresses of persons and entities in the Class, DO NOT re-submit those names and addresses. Copies of the Claim Packet will be forwarded to those potential Class Members by Epiq, the Claims Administrator. If you have additional names and addresses that you did not previously provide, you must forward those names and addresses to Epiq. Additionally, as noted above, even if you previously provided names and addresses of potential Class Members, you must now also determine if you there were persons or entities in the Settlement Class Period that were not included in the initial request and, if so, forward those names and addresses to Epiq.

  2. Nominees/Brokers That Previously Elected to Forward the Notice of Pendency

    If, in connection with the mailing of the Notice of Pendency, you requested that the notices be sent to you for forwarding by you to potential Class Members INSTEAD OF providing the names and addresses to the Notice Administrator you will be mailed the same number of Claim Packets as previously requested to forward to those potential Settlement Class Members.
