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 (“First Disbursement Order”).4 Pursuant to the First Disbursement Order, the Fund
Administrator disbursed $4,614,679.81.
On September 23, 2025, the Commission issued an Order Directing Second
Disbursement of Fair Fund (“Second Disbursement Order”).5 Pursuant to the Second
Disbursement Order, the Fund Administrator disbursed $2,500,422.70. The Fair Fund has a
current balance of $5,981,080.01.
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 “Third
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
$11,969.626 to two (2) harmed investors who were not included in the previous disbursements.
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 $11,969.62 from the Fair Fund to

distribute $11,969.62 to harmed investors in accordance with the Plan.
