The approved settlement entails that all persons or entities which engaged in those transactions during the period mentioned are classified under the “Settlement Class”. Notably, the court has ordered a hearing scheduled for July 31, 2025, to evaluate whether the proposed cash settlement of $8 million is fair and justified. During this hearing, the court will also assess the allocation plan for distributing the settlement proceeds among affected investors.
