Mark: ...I ended up with a little less than one half of what I figured I was qualified to receive.... Same here. The ratio of cash available in the fund to total claims was $216,670,904/$485,418,411 or about 45%. The ratio of what I received to the maximum I could have received (per the settlement cap) was close to 50%, so I did a little better than average. There's no indication in the notice that came as to how they calculated the payout, though from what I recall, anyone who bought shares in the qualifying time period and held them through the required date probably (like you and I) lost more than the maximum $5.87/share (before expenses) payout that the settlement agreement gave as a cap. So everyone probably got around half the maximum. In any event it was pretty close to the estimate they gave in the original claim notice for the "average" payout. Sure better than nothing. Usually these class action lawsuits are a joke, and the only people who make out are the attorneys. This one had some tangible results for shareholders for a change. David T.
