Following Court approval, and as described more fully in paragraphs 44-50 in the Notice, Plaintiffs, on behalf of the Class, have agreed to settle all Released Claims (as defined in paragraph 45 in the Notice) against Defendants and other Released Defendant Parties (as defined in paragraph 47 in the Notice) in exchange for a settlement payment of $33 million in cash to be deposited into an escrow account. The Net Settlement Fund will be distributed in accordance with the Court-approved plan of allocation and will determine how the Net Settlement Fund shall be distributed to members of the Class.

The Court-approved Plan of Allocation is included in the Notice.
The Class is defined as:
All Persons that purchased or acquired Impax common stock or 2% Convertible Senior Notes between February 20, 2014 and August 9, 2016, inclusive
