YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a hearing will be held on September 19, 2022, at 2:30 p.m., before the Honorable William J. Campbell Jr. at the United States District Court, Middle District of Tennessee, Fred D. Thompson United States Courthouse, 719 Church Street, Nashville, TN 37203 to determine whether: (1) the proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) of the above-captioned Litigation as set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement (“Stipulation”)1 for $36,000,000 in cash should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable and adequate; (2) the Judgment as provided under the Stipulation should be entered dismissing the Litigation with prejudice; (3) to award Lead Counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses out of the Settlement Fund (as defined in the Notice of Proposed Settlement of Class Action (“Notice”), which is discussed below) and, if so, in what amount; (4) to pay Plaintiffs for their costs and expenses in representing the Class out of the Settlement Fund and, if so, in what amount; and (5) the Plan of Allocation should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable and adequate.
IF YOU PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED NISSAN ADRs ON THE OTC MARKET OR ARE A UNITED STATES CITIZEN WHO PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED NISSAN COMMON STOCK BETWEEN MAY 11, 2014 AND NOVEMBER 16, 2018, INCLUSIVE, YOUR RIGHTS ARE AFFECTED BY THE SETTLEMENT OF THIS LITIGATION.

Your failure to submit your Proof of Claim by September 14, 2022, will subject your claim to rejection and preclude your receiving any of the recovery in connection with the Settlement of this Litigation. If you purchased or acquired Nissan ADRs on the OTC Market or Nissan common stock between May 11, 2014 and November 16, 2018, inclusive, and do not request exclusion from the Class, you will be bound in the United States by the Settlement and any judgment and release entered in the Litigation, including, but not limited to, the Judgment, whether or not you submit a Proof of Claim.
