March 28, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 43 ORDER PRELIMINARILY APPROVING SETTLEMENT AND PROVIDING FOR NOTICE: NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:I. Settlement Class Certification: Pursuant to Rules 23(a) and 23(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and for purposes of the Settlement only, the Court certifies the Customer Class Action as a class action on behalf of the following Settlement Class: Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (i) any person or entity named as a defendant in the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and Common Law, dated November 2, 2012 (including any immediate family members of such defendant and any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of any defendant) that held money, securities, or property at MFGI and that could otherwise be deemed to be a member of the Settlement Class; (ii) any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of MFGI that held money, securities, or property at MFGI and that could otherwise be deemed to be a member of the Settlement Class; and(iii) any person or entity that excludes him, her or itself from the Settlement Class by filing a request for exclusion that is accepted by the Court pursuant to this Order. The Court finds, for purposes of the Settlement only, that the prerequisites for certifying the Customer Class Action as a class action under Rules 23(a) and 23(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have been satisfied in that: (a) the number of Settlement Class Members is so numerous that joinder of all members thereof is impracticable; (b) there are questions of law and fact common to the Settlement Class which predominate over any individual questions; (c) the claims of the Customer Representatives are typical of the claims of the Settlement Class; (d) Customer Representatives and Co-Lead Counsel (as defined herein) have and will fairly and adequately represent the interests of the Settlement Class; and (e) a class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of the Customer Class Action.
