The Defendants have caused twenty-eight million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($28,750,000) to be deposited into escrow (the "Settlement Fund") for the benefit of the Settlement Class. Among other things, the recovery of individual Settlement Class Members depends on the number of Class A Shares those Settlement Class Members purchased and sold and the prices at which Settlement Class Members who filed claims purchased and sold those shares. The Court finds that the proposed Plan of Allocation is fair, just, reasonable, and adequate, and is finally approved in all respects. The Court hereby awards Class Counsel attorneys' fees of $8,625,000, plusreimbursement of their expenses in the amount of $401,240.26, together with the interest earned thereon for the same time period and at the same rate as that earned on the Settlement Fund until paid. The Court finds that the amount of fees awarded is appropriate and that the amount of fees awarded is fair and reasonable given the contingent nature of the case and the substantial risks of non-recovery, the quality of the work performed, the time and effort involved, and the result obtained for the Settlement Class. The Court hereby awards Class Plaintiff Ralph Langstadt and Class Plaintiff Julie Lemond each a compensatory award of $5,000. Without affecting the finality of this Final Order and Judgment, the Court reserves continuing and exclusive jurisdiction over all matters relating to the administration, implementation, effectuation, and enforcement of the Settlement.
