Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on downstream pass-on is scheduled for a hearing on
November 2, 2012. Docket Nos. 6178, 6338. During the course of briefing this motion, certain state law
indirect purchaser claims were dismissed either by stipulation or on summary judgment. Defendants’
reply, filed on September 14, 2012, addresses plaintiffs’ claims under the laws of the following states:
California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and Michigan. Since that time, the Court is aware that
plaintiffs have dismissed additional claims against certain defendants.
Accordingly, the Court directs the parties affected by defendants’ motion to file a joint letter no
later than October 26, 2012, informing the Court whether the scope of state laws at issue in defendants’

1 motion has been further narrowed since the filing of defendants’ reply.
