previously has ordered maintained under seal, (see ECF Nos. 236 (Ferguson); 90
(Canfield); 87 (Mendon)), in response to the letter filed under seal by Andrew
Schermerhorn on November 4, 2020 (see ECF Nos. 230-31 (Ferguson); 84-85

The “DST Defendants” are DST Systems, Inc. (“DST”), the Advisory Committee of the DST Systems,

consistent with the Court’s order sealing the underlying letter from which those excerpts
are drawn.
Respectfully submitted,
