Following the most recent settlement conference before Magistrate Judge Nathanael
7
Cousins held on March 20, 2015, Judge Cousins circulated a mediator’s proposal for settlement to
8
the Parties. The Parties accepted that proposal, with slight modifications, and have now come to an
9
agreement in principle on all salient terms of a settlement with the exception of one dispute related
10
to the issuance of Form 1099s. Concurrent with the Motion for Preliminary Approval, the Parties
11
will be requesting that the Court make a ruling as to whether Springleaf is required to issue Form
12
1099s to settlement class members.

As part of the settlement, the Parties have agreed on a proposed schedule to bring this
matter to a close, which is as follows:
