February 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 104 ORDER AWARDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF LITIGATION EXPENSES granting #84 Motion for Attorney Fees. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. This Order incorporates by reference the definitions in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated June 28, 2021 (ECF No. 72-1, "Stipulation") and all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Stipulation. 2. The Court has jurisdiction to enter this Order and over the subject matter of the action and all parties to this action, including all Settlement Class Members, as further set forth herein. 4. Per Lead Counsel's motion for attorneys' fees as amended by it's letter of January 27, 2022 (Dkt. Nos 85, 101), Lead Counsel are hereby awarded attorneys' fees in the amount of $2,250,000, which is 30% of the 7.5 million settlement amount, and $71,121.58 in reimbursement of counsel's out-of-pocket litigation expenses, which fees and expenses shall be paid from the Settlement Fund. The Court finds these sums to be fair and reasonable. Half of the fee award and all of the expense reimbursement are payable immediately, and the remaining half of the fee award is payable upon substantial distribution to the Settlement Class upon prior written notice to the Court. 5. In making this award of attorneys' fees and reimbursement of expenses to be paid from the Settlement Fund, the Court has considered and found that: (a) The Settlement has created a fund of $7,500,000 in cash that has been funded into escrow pursuant to the terms of the Stipulation, and that numerous Settlement Class Members who submit acceptable Claim Forms will benefit from the Settlement that occurred because of the efforts of Lead Counsel and other Plaintiffs' Counsel; (b) Approximately 35,448 Notice Packets, consisting of the Notice and Claim Form, were mailed to potential Settlement Class Members and nominees stating that Lead Counsel would apply for attorneys' fees in an amount not exceed 33 1/3% of the Settlement Fund and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses in an amount not to exceed $105,000. There were no objections to the requested attorneys' fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses; (c) Lead Counsel has conducted the litigation and achieved the Settlement with skill, perseverance and diligent advocacy;(d) The Action raised a number of complex issues; (e) Had Lead Counsel not achieved the Settlement there would remain a significant risk that Plaintiffs and the other members of the Settlement Class may have recovered less than the Settlement Amount, or nothing at all, from Defendants; (f) Plaintiffs' Counsel devoted at least 2,164.10 hours through December 14, 2021, with a lodestar value of approximately $1,531,095.00 and a lodestar multiplier of 1.47, to achieve the Settlement; and (g) The amount of attorneys' fees awarded and expenses to be reimbursed from the Settlement Fund are fair and reasonable and consistent with awards in similar cases. 6. Lead Plaintiff Danilee Cassinelli, as Trustee of the Danilee Cassinelli Trust DTD 7-23-93 is hereby awarded $7,500 from the Settlement Fund as reimbursement for her reasonable costs and expenses directly related to her representation of the Settlement Class, as further set forth herein. 9. In the event that the Settlement is terminated or the Effective Date of the Settlement otherwise fails to occur, this Order shall be rendered null and void to the extent provided by the Settlement. 10. 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 Lorna G. Schofield on 2/10/2022) (mml)
February 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 103 ORDER APPROVING PLAN OF ALLOCATION OF NET SETTLEMENT FUND granting #82 Motion for Settlement. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. This Order incorporates by reference the definitions in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated June 28, 2021 (ECF No. 72-1, "Stipulation") and all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Stipulation. 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 Settlement Class Members. 3. Notice of Plaintiffs' motion for approval of the proposed Plan of Allocation was given to all Settlement Class Members who could be identified with reasonable effort. The form and method of notifying the Settlement Class 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. At least 35,448 Notice Packets, consisting of the Noticewhich included the Plan of Allocation-and Claim Form, were mailed to potential Settlement Class Members and nominees. No objections to the Plan of Allocation have been received. 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 Settlement Class Members provides a fair and reasonable basis upon which to allocate the proceeds of the Net Settlement Fund 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. 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 Lorna G. Schofield on 2/10/2022) (mml)
February 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 102 JUDGMENT APPROVING CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: 1. Jurisdiction The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Action, and all matters relating to the Settlement, as well as personal jurisdiction over all of the Parties and each of the Settlement Class Members, as further set forth herein. 3.

Final Settlement Approval and Dismissal of Claims Pursuant to, and in accordance with, Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, this Court hereby fully and finally approves the Settlement set forth in the Stipulation in all respects (including, without limitation: the amount of the Settlement; the Releases provided for therein; and the dismissal with prejudice of the claims asserted against Defendants in the Action), and finds that the Settlement is, in all respects, fair, reasonable and adequate to the Settlement Class. The Parties are directed to implement, perform and consummate the Settlement in accordance with the terms and provisions contained in the Stipulation. 8. The Action and all of the claims asserted against Defendants in the Action by Plaintiffs and the other Settlement Class Members are hereby dismissed with prejudice. The Parties shall bear their own costs and expenses, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Stipulation, as further set forth. 18. Entry of Final Judgment There is no just reason to delay the entry of this Judgment as a final judgment in this Action. Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is expressly directed to immediately enter this final judgment in this Action. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 2/10/2022) (mml)

December 28, 2021 Filing 87 LETTER from Tim Hamilton, a non-party, dated 12/28/21 re: The Court has no choice but to deny this proposed class action settlement primarily based upon the fact that the defendants have lied to the plaintiffs, this Court, and shareholders regarding the claim that they have committed no wrongdoing etc. Any proposed settlement should include bringing wrongdoers to justice and the exercise of ethics clauses in all of the employment agreements. Additionally, any monetary award to shareholders should be at least ten times the proposed amount given the severity of the lying and cover-up. I am happy to share with the Court additional document evidence as well as direct testimony via telephone or teleconference during the hearing. The approval of the proposed settlement would be a further injustice at the expense of shareholders etc. (sc) Modified on 12/29/2021 (sc). Modified on 12/29/2021 (sc).
