The proposed settlement is designed to compensate all eligible class members who received cash as part of the merger. Eligible class members include both record and beneficial holders of Astra’s common stock, alongside their heirs and successors. The proposed settlement aims to ensure that the claims are resolved fairly, with the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund occurring pro rata to class members who qualify.
