ORDER: The Court has reviewed the substantive terms of the settlement and finds that this settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate. The Plan of Allocation provides that each Authorized Claimant with a valid recognized claim will receive no less than $10. Depending on the size of the class, an Authorized Claimant may received up to $11.71 per damaged share, which appears to be a fair and adequate recovery for the claims in this case.
