ALL ACTIONS
This matter came before the Court upon the joint motion of the parties pursuant to Fed. R.
Civ. P. 62.1. The parties jointly request an indicative ruling from this Court that, upon limited
remand from the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, this Court will grant preliminary approval of the
proposed settlement of this putative shareholder derivative action pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
P. 23.1(c), and schedule a final approval hearing after notice to the shareholders.
Having
considered the joint motion, and the motion for preliminary approval of the settlement filed

by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, it will grant the relief requested.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
