17 C.F.R. § 201.1103.

February 9, 2023, the Division of Enforcement, pursuant to delegated authority, issued an order

approving the Proposed Plan, 3 and posted the approved Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”).

On November 19, 2024, the Commission issued an Order Directing Disbursement of Fair

Fund (“Disbursement Order”). 4 Pursuant to the Disbursement Order, the Fund Administrator has

disbursed $4,614,679.81. The Fair Fund has a current balance of $8,405,696.95.

Pursuant to paragraphs 87 and 88 of the Plan, the Fund Administrator, in consultation

with the Commission staff, has determined that a subsequent distribution (the “Second

Distribution”) of the remaining funds is feasible. Given the amount remaining in the Fair Fund

and after taking into account a reserve of $407,485.37 for any taxes or administrative costs, the

Fund Administrator recommends further distribution of the Fair Fund in the amount of

$2,500,422.70 5 to 39 harmed investors who were not included in the initial disbursement.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund Administrator has submitted a payment file to Commission

staff with a reasonable assurances letter as to the completeness and accuracy of the information

contained therein. The Commission staff has reviewed and accepted the payment file and

requests, pursuant to Rule 1101(b)(6) of the Commission’s Rules, 17 C.F.R. § 201.1101(b)(6),

that the Commission authorize the transfer of $2,500,422.70 from the Fair Fund to the Fair

Fund’s escrow account at The Huntington National Bank, N.A. for distribution by the Fund

Administrator in accordance with the Plan. Collectively, from both distributions, the Payees will

have been fully compensated, plus reasonable interest, for their Recognized Losses.

See Order Approving Corrected Plan of Distribution, Exchange Act Rel. No. 96869 (Feb. 9, 2023).

Exchange Act Rel. No. 101653 (Nov. 19, 2024).

withholdings are required, which is included in this amount.

For the Commission, by the Division of Enforcement, pursuant to delegated authority. 6
