November 25, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 1031 ORDER APPROVING PLAN OF ALLOCATION OF NET SETTLEMENT FUNDS: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. This Order approving the proposed Plan of Allocation incorporates by reference the definitions in the Joint Declaration of Salvatore J. Graziano and Javier Bleichmar in Support of: (1) Lead Plaintiffs' Motion for Final Approval of Class Action Settlements and Plan of Allocation, and (II) Co-Lead Counsel's Motion for an Award of Attorneys' Fees and Reimbursement of Litigation Expenses (ECF No. 1002) ("Joint Declaration") and all terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Joint Declaration. 2. The Court has jurisdiction to enter this Order approving the proposed Plan of Allocation, and over the subject matter of the Action and all parties to the Action, including all members of the Settlement Classes. 3. Notice of Lead Plaintiffs' motion for approval of the proposed Plan of Allocation was given to all members of the Settlement Classes who could be identified with reasonable effort. The form and method of notifying the Settlement Class Members of the motion for approval of the proposed Plan of Allocation satisfied the requirements of Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 78u-4(a)(7)), due process, and all other applicable law and rules, constituted the best notice practicable under the circumstances, and constituted due and sufficient notice to all persons and entities entitled thereto. 4. Copies of the Plan of Allocation were mailed to over 77,900 potential Settlement Class Members and nominees. One objection to the Plan of Allocation was received. The objector lacks standing to raise this objection. Nonetheless, the Court has considered the objection and found it to be without merit. 5. The Court hereby finds and concludes that the formula for the calculation of the claims of Claimants as set forth in the Plan of Allocation mailed to members of the Settlement Classes provides a fair and reasonable basis upon which to allocate the proceeds of the Net Settlement Funds among Settlement Class Members with due consideration having been given to administrative convenience and necessity. 6. The Court hereby finds and concludes that the Plan of Allocation is, in all respects, fair and reasonable to the Settlement Class Members. Accordingly, the Court hereby approves the Plan of Allocation proposed by Lead Plaintiffs. 7. There is no just reason for delay in the entry of this Order, and immediate entry by the Clerk of the Court is expressly directed. (Signed by Judge Victor Marrero on 11/25/2015) (mro)

December 23, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 819 FINAL CONSENT ORDER OF RESTITUTION, CIVIL MONETARY PENALTY AND ANCILLARY RELIEF AGAINST MF GLOBAL HOLDINGS LTD.: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: MFGH, jointly and severally with MF Global Inc., shall make restitution for the amount of $1,212,000,000 (one-billion two-hundred twelve million dollars), or such amount necessary to ensure that all Allowed Customer Net Equity Claims are paid in full (the "Restitution Obligation"). The Restitution Obligation shall be deemed satisfied upon completion by the SIPA Trustee of its obligations pursuant to Paragraph III.4 of the Final Consent Order of Restitution, Civil Monetary Penalty and Ancillary Relief Against MF Global Inc. (the "MF Global Inc. Consent Order") as authorized by the Bankruptcy Court in the SIPA Proceeding on September 12, 2013, and so ordered by this Court on November 8, 2013. MFGH will obtain a dollar-for-dollar credit against the Restitution Obligation as a result of the SIPA Trustee's satisfaction of the Restitution Obligation under the MF Global Inc. Consent Order. Section 6c of the Act, 7 U.S.C. 13a-1, provides the Court with authority to impose a civil monetary penalty against MFGH up to a maximum of triple the monetary gain received by MFGH for the violations alleged in the amended Complaint, or $140,000 per violation, whichever is greater. The maximum civil monetary penalty in this case against MFGH is measured by the monetary gain, i.e. the gain to MFGH from unlawful uses of segregated customer funds during the final week of October 2011. MFGH shall pay a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $100,000,000 (one-hundred million dollars), pursuant to Section 6c of the Act, 7 U.S.C. 13a-1 (the "CMP Obligation"), and the following as further set forth herein. This Court shall retain jurisdiction of this cause to ensure compliance with this Order and for all other purposes related to this action, Including any motion by MFGH to modify or for relief from the terms of this Consent Order.

See Decision & Order, Feb. 20, 2014, In re MF Global, Inc., 13-cv-8893 (S.D.N.Y.) [ECF No. 38]. 3.

Context sustained substantial financial losses on its purchases of the 3.375% Notes. Specifically, Context purchased 1,000,000 in face amount of the Notes for $990,865.00, and sold all of the 3.375% Notes that it purchased and sustained total losses of $388,365.00. We have reviewed each of the motions timely filed with the Court for Lead Plaintiff Appointment. Based on our review, Virginia Retirement System and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Alberta (collectively, '"VRS''), appear to have asserted the largest financial interest in the relief sought by those who purchased both the common stock and various notes of MF Global which are the subject of this litigation. Thus, VRS appears to be the presumptively most adequate plaintiff under the PSLRA for this combined group of securities purchasers. Accordingly, and on behalf of our client. we wish to advise the Court that Context will support VRS' appointment as Lead Plaintiff in this case, subject to approval by the Court.

The Bagwell Group also seeks the approval of its selection of Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP to serve as Lead Counsel. Based on the pending motions. it appears that VRS and Alberta have the largest financial interest than any of the other movants. In addition, VRS and Alberta, adequately satisfy the requirements of Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in that their claims are typical of the claims of the putative class and that they will fairly and adequately represent 1he interests of the class. As such, the Bagwell Group withdraws its motion and supports the motion by VRS and Albe1tn for appointment as lead plaintiff. However, should the need arise, the Bagwell Group remains ready, willing and able to assume the duties as lead or co-lead plaintiff and/or as class representatives on behalf of the Class. Counsel requests the opportunity to participate on behalf of the Bagwell Group(js) Modified on 1/18/2012 (js).

Although Daly filed a complaint in these consolidated actions, he did not seek appointment as lead plaintiff.Based on our review of the various motions for lead plaintiff. it appears that the Virginia and Alberta retirement funds (collectively, "VRS"), with over $19 million in losses~ have asserted the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class and have made a prima facie showing that they are typical and adequate class representatives under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
