On February 13, 2023, pursuant to Rule 1103 of the United States Securities and Exchange

Commission’s Rules on Fair Fund and Disgorgement Plans (the “Commission’s Rules”), 17 C.F.R.

§ 201.1103, the Commission published a Notice of Proposed Plan of Distribution and Opportunity to

Comment (“Notice”)1 for the distribution of monies placed into a Fair Fund in the above-captioned

matters. The Notice invited public comment on the proposed plan of distribution (“Plan”) through

March 15, 2023, and the Commission received one public comment that raised various issues (the

“Comment”).

Rule 1104 of the Commission’s Rules, 17 C.F.R. § 201.1104, provides in relevant part,

“[t]he order approving or disapproving the plan should be entered within 30 days after the end of

the final period allowed for comments on the proposed plan unless the Commission or the

hearing officer, by written order, allows a longer period for good cause shown.”

Thirty days from the end of the final period for comments on the Plan will lapse on April

14, 2023. The Division states additional time is needed to present its recommendation to the

Commission regarding the Comment and the Plan, and therefore, good cause has been shown to

enter an order extending time to approve or disapprove the Plan until October 16, 2023.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that pursuant to Rule 1104 of the Commission’s Rules,2

for good cause shown, the time for entering an order approving or disapproving the Plan is

extended to October 16, 2023.

For the Commission, by its Secretary, pursuant to delegated authority.3
