3 (“Defendants”) stipulate as follows:

On November 24, 2020, this Court denied Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss

4

5 Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint as to Defendants Mona and Mackay and
6 granted the Motion as to Defendant Raskin. 1 ECF No. 84. The Court ordered Plaintiffs
7 to file a third amended complaint within 21 days of the order to address the sole issue
8 of Plaintiff’s standing as a shareholder. ECF No. 84. On December 11, 2020, Plaintiff
9 filed the operative Third Amended Complaint (“TAC”). ECF No. 87.

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(3) and 6(a)(1), Defendants’ deadline to respond

10

11 to the TAC is December 28, 2020. Defendants have worked diligently to prepare an
12 answer to the TAC, but given the complexity of the allegations in the TAC and the
13 timing over the holiday season, the Parties have agreed to extend Defendants’ deadline
14 to file an answer until January 11, 2021.
