Class Plaintiffs Susan Tan and Gilbert H. Nguyen (“Class Plaintiffs”) and Defendants Juno
Therapeutics, Inc., Hans E. Bishop, Steven D. Harr and Mark J. Gilbert (collectively,
“Defendants”), STIPULATE as follows:
1.

Following two in-person mediations, Plaintiffs and Defendants have agreed in

principle to a class-action settlement of this action, subject to Court approval pursuant to Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 23(e).
2.

Plaintiffs will file a motion for preliminary approval. Part of that motion requests

preliminary approval of the general settlement terms. Another part will request approval of a plan
of notice (the language of the notice and the method of giving it). And another part will seek
preliminary approval of a plan of distribution.
3.

To present the preliminary approval motion with sufficient detail to adequately

inform the Court and for the Court to determine preliminarily the fairness of the proposed
settlement and all of its aspects, the parties believe that Plaintiffs will need 14 pages, which is 2
