the Proposed Plan without modification, 3 and posted the approved Plan of Distribution (the

“Plan”).

The Plan provides for the distribution of the Fair Fund, plus accumulated interest, less

taxes, fees, and expenses, to the harmed investors according to the methodology set forth in the

Plan.

On September 12, 2022, the Commission issued an Order Directing Disbursement of Fair

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

Administrator disbursed $77,915,851.58 to compensate 479 Eligible Claimants 5 for 50% of their

investment losses (the “Initial Distribution”). The Fair Fund has a remaining balance of

$389,288,765.48.

Since the Initial Distribution, the Fund Administrator has continued to process claims

submitted prior to the Claims Bar Date and has identified an additional 4,356 Eligible Claimants.

After taking into account a reserve of $19,919,250.00 for the payment of taxes and

administrative expenses plus approximately $82,000,000.00 designated for a future

disbursement, the Fund Administrator has recommended a disbursement of $287,124,893.32

from the Fair Fund to (1) provide the additional 4,356 claimants, who have been deemed Eligible

Claimants since the Initial Distribution, with a distribution payment representing 92.42% of their

Recognized Losses; and (2) provide the 479 Eligible Claimants who received a payment in the

Initial Distribution, with a distribution payment in the amount that, when combined with the

distribution payment received in the Initial Distribution, will total 92.42% of their Recognized

Losses.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund Administrator has compiled the payee information (the

Payee List”) and submitted a payment file to Commission staff with a reasonable assurances

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 $287,124,893.32 from the Fair Fund to the Fair Fund’s escrow account

at The Huntington National Bank for distribution by the Fund Administrator to the eligible

claimants in accordance with the Plan.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED, that Commission staff shall transfer

$287,124,893.32 from the Fair Fund to the Fair Fund’s escrow account at The Huntington

National Bank, and the Fund Administrator shall distribute such monies to the eligible claimants

identified on the Payee List in accordance with the Plan.
