COUNTY OF PALM BEACH )
DANIEL J. POLIZZI, being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1.

I submit this supplemental affidavit to provide the Court with updated information

regarding, among other things, the mailing of the Notice of Proposed GlobeOp Partial Settlement
of Class Action and Settlement Fairness Hearing, and Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and
Reimbursement of Expenses (the “GlobeOp Notice”) and GlobeOp Proof of Claim and Release
Form (together, the “GlobeOp Notice Packet”) and the non-receipt of requests for exclusion and
objections. I am a Senior Project Administrator for Rust Consulting, Inc. (“Rust”), the Courtappointed Claims Administrator. I am over 21 years of age and am not a party to this Action. I
have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein and, if called as a witness, could and would
testify competently thereto.
2.

On October 11, 2013, I executed my original affidavit (the “October Affidavit”)

that was filed with the Court on October 11, 2013 [Dkt. No. 1205-1], attesting, among other

1

things, to the mailing of the GlobeOp Notice Packet and the dissemination of the Summary
Notice over PR Newswire.
3.

As more fully stated in my October Affidavit (at ¶8), as of October 10, 2013, Rust

had mailed a total of 54 GlobeOp Notice Packets to potential Class Members. Since my October
Affidavit was executed, during the period from October 11, 2013 through November 5, 2013,
inclusive, Rust has not mailed any additional GlobeOp Notice Packets. Accordingly, as of
November 5, 2013, we have mailed a total of 54 GlobeOp Notice Packets to potential Class
Members.
4.

As stated in my October Affidavit (at ¶11), Rust posted the GlobeOp Notice Packet,

GlobeOp Stipulation of Settlement, and Preliminary Approval Order, among other documents,
on a website dedicated to the Settlement (www.FairfieldGreenwichLitigation.com). Since the
September 24, 2013 mailing of the GlobeOp Notice Packet, the Website has had 1,441 additional
visits.
5.

Rust has maintained a toll-free telephone hotline [phone]), and a direct

dial line for international callers (1-612-359-7949), with an Interactive Voice Response System
(“IVR”) and live operators to assist potential Class Members with questions about the
Settlement, as stated in my October Affidavit (at ¶12). Since the mailing of the GlobeOp Notice
Packet on September 24, 2013, Rust has received a total of 117 additional calls on this line, of
which 59 callers requested to speak with a live operator for assistance.
6.

As stated in ¶13 of my October Affidavit, the Notice informed Class Members that

the deadline for requesting exclusion from the Class was October 25, 2013. As of November 5,
2013, Rust has not received any requests for exclusion from the GlobeOp Settlement Class.
