The Court directed that the Postcard Notice be mailed to you because you or someone in your family or an investment account for which you serve as a custodian may have purchased or otherwise acquired Endurance common stock during the Settlement Class Period. The Court also directed that the Notice be posted online at www.EnduranceSecuritiesLitigation.com and mailed to you upon request to the Claims Administrator. The Court has directed us to disseminate the Notices because, as a potential Settlement Class Member, you have a right to know about your options before the Court rules on the proposed Settlement. Additionally, you have the right to understand how this class action lawsuit may generally affect your legal rights. If the Court approves the Settlement and the Plan of Allocation (or some other plan of allocation), the claims administrator selected by Plaintiffs and approved by the Court will make payments pursuant to the Settlement after any objections and appeals are resolved.

The purpose of the Notice is to inform you of the existence of this case, that it is a class action, how you might be affected, and how to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class if you wish to do so. It is also being sent to inform you of the terms of the proposed Settlement, and of a hearing to be held by the Court to consider the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the Settlement, the proposed Plan of Allocation, and the motion by Lead Counsel for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses (the “Settlement Hearing”).

The issuance of the Notice is not an expression of any opinion by the Court concerning the merits of any claim in the Action, and the Court still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. If the Court approves the Settlement and a plan of allocation, then payments to Authorized Claimants will be made after any appeals are resolved and after the completion of all claims processing. Please be patient, as this process can take some time to complete.

Endurance provides web solutions for small businesses, including domains, website builders, web hosting, and other subscription-based and non-subscription-based products and services. This case involves Defendants’ representations concerning Endurance’s non-GAAP metrics, including: (a) subscriber count; (b) average revenue per subscriber; (c) products per subscriber; and (d) the number of subscribers paying $500 or more for Endurance’s products and services. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants touted these metrics to create an impression of future revenue growth, but in fact, certain of the metrics reported by Defendants were misstated and Defendants also omitted data necessary to render their statements not misleading.

On May 4, 2015, Plaintiff Christopher Machado initiated this action by filing a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, alleging violations of the federal securities laws and asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), 14 U.S.C. §§ 78j(b), 78t(a), and Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, 17 C.F.R. 240.10b-5.

By Order dated September 11, 2015, the Court appointed Christopher Machado as Lead Plaintiff and approved Lead Plaintiff’s selection of Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP as Lead Counsel for the class. The Court further approved Lead Plaintiff’s selection of Block & Leviton LLP as Liaison Counsel.

Following the filing of Lead Plaintiff’s first and second amended complaints and motion to dismiss briefing related to the second amended complaint, on June 30, 2017, Lead Plaintiff and Plaintiff Michael Rubin filed and served their Third Amended Class Action Complaint (the “TAC”).

Among other things, the TAC alleged that Defendants published materially false and misleading figures regarding certain non-GAAP metrics, which misled shareholders with respect to Endurance’s growth rate and growth potential.  According to the TAC, the alleged misrepresentations proximately caused class member losses as the inaccuracy of the non-GAAP metrics became clear and the Company’s true growth rate and potential became known. 

The TAC alleged both fraud claims under the Exchange Act and non-fraud claims under the Securities Act of 1933 on behalf of persons or entities that purchased or acquired Endurance common stock. 

On August 29, 2017, Defendants served a motion to dismiss the TAC.  Plaintiffs served their papers in opposition on October 30, 2017.  On December 14, 2017, Defendants Endurance and Hari Ravichandran filed separate replies in support of dismissal.  Defendant Tivanka Ellawala’s reply brief followed on December 15, 2017. 

While the Parties believe in the merits of their respective positions, they also recognized the benefits that would accrue if they could reach an agreement to resolve the Action.  They began to discuss the possibility of exploring whether a settlement could be reached through a mediation process.  The Parties selected former California Superior and Supreme Court Judge Daniel Weinstein (Ret.) (“Judge Weinstein”) as mediator.  On January 12, 2018, the Parties filed a joint motion requesting that the Court stay proceedings, and not rule on Defendants’ motion to dismiss, until after the Parties participated in a mediation before Judge Weinstein.  On February 21, 2018, the Court granted the Parties’ motion and stayed the case. 

In advance of the mediation, Endurance provided Lead Counsel with requested document discovery, which consisted of 40,594 documents, equating to 205,699 pages.  Moreover, the Parties exchanged, and provided to Judge Weinstein, detailed mediation statements and exhibits addressing the issues of both liability and damages.

On February 23, 2018, the Parties participated in an in-person, all-day mediation before Judge Weinstein.  The matter was not resolved that day, but the Parties continued to negotiate with the assistance of Judge Weinstein over the course of the next several weeks, which culminated in an agreement in principle to settle the Action.  Among other things, Plaintiffs agreed to settle and release all claims asserted against Defendants in the Action in return for a cash payment by or on behalf of Defendants of $18,650,000 for the benefit of the Settlement Class.

Based upon their investigation, prosecution and mediation of the case, and their review of documents produced by Defendants, Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel have concluded that the terms and conditions of the Settlement are fair, reasonable and adequate to Plaintiffs and the other members of the Settlement Class, and in their best interests.  Based on the investigation and mediation of the case and Plaintiffs’ direct oversight of the prosecution of this matter, and with the advice of counsel, Plaintiffs have agreed to settle and release the claims raised in the Action pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Stipulation, after considering, among other things, (a) the substantial financial benefit that Plaintiffs and the other members of the Settlement Class will receive under the proposed Settlement; and (b) the significant risks and costs of continued litigation and trial. 

Defendants are entering into the Settlement solely to eliminate the uncertainty, burden and expense of further protracted litigation.  Each of the Defendants denies any wrongdoing, and the Settlement shall in no event be construed or deemed to be evidence of or an admission or concession on the part of any of the Defendants, or any other of the Defendants’ Releasees, with respect to any claim or allegation of any fault or liability or wrongdoing or damage whatsoever, or any infirmity in the defenses that the Defendants have, or could have, asserted.  Similarly, the Stipulation shall in no event be construed or deemed to be evidence of or an admission or concession on the part of Plaintiffs of any infirmity in any of the claims asserted in the Action, or an admission or concession that any of the Defendants’ defenses to liability had any merit.

On January 2, 2019, the Court preliminarily approved the Settlement, authorized the Postcard Notice to be mailed to potential Settlement Class Members and the Notice to be posted online and mailed to potential Settlement Class Members upon request, and scheduled the Settlement Hearing to consider whether to grant final approval to the Settlement.

If you are a member of the Settlement Class, you are subject to the Settlement, unless you timely request to be excluded. The Settlement Class consists of:

all persons and/or entities who or which purchased or otherwise acquired Endurance common stock during the period of October 25, 2013 through December 16, 2015, inclusive, including all persons and/or entities who or which purchased or otherwise acquired Endurance common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the registered public offering conducted on or about October 25, 2013, and who were injured thereby.

Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (a) Defendants; (b) members of the Immediate Families of each of the Individual Defendants; (c) the subsidiaries and affiliates of Endurance; (d) any person or entity who is, or during the Class Period was, a chief executive officer, executive vice president, senior vice president, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), director, or controlling person of Endurance; (e) any entity in which any Defendant has a controlling interest; and (f) the legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of any such excluded party; provided, however, that any Investment Vehicle shall not be excluded from the Settlement Class.  Also excluded from the Settlement Class are any persons or entities who or which exclude themselves by submitting a request for exclusion, in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Notice, that is accepted by the Court.

PLEASE NOTE:  RECEIPT OF THE POSTCARD NOTICE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE A SETTLEMENT CLASS MEMBER OR THAT YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PROCEEDS FROM THE SETTLEMENT.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and you wish to be eligible to participate in the distribution of proceeds from the Settlement, you are required to submit the Claim Form postmarked no later than May 31, 2019.

Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel believe that the claims asserted against Defendants have merit. They recognize, however, the expense and length of continued proceedings necessary to pursue their claims against Defendants through trial and appeals, as well as the very substantial risks they would face in establishing liability and damages. Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel also recognize that Defendants have numerous avenues of attack that could preclude a recovery as to Defendants’ allegedly false and misleading statements. For example, Defendants would assert that the statements were not false, material, or made with the requisite state of mind to support the securities fraud claim alleged. Even if those hurdles to establishing liability were overcome, Defendants would assert that the statements at issue did not cause a loss and would hotly contest the existence and amount of any damages that could be attributed to the allegedly false statements. To receive any recovery, Plaintiffs would have to prevail at several stages, including overcoming Defendants’ motion to dismiss and likely Defendants’ motions for summary judgment. If Plaintiffs’ claims made it to trial and Plaintiffs prevailed, appeals would likely follow. Thus, there were significant risks attendant to the continued prosecution of the Action.

In light of these risks, the amount of the Settlement and the immediacy of recovery to the Settlement Class, Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel believe that the proposed Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate, and in the best interests of the Settlement Class.  Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel also believe that the Settlement provides a substantial benefit to the Settlement Class, namely $18,650,000 in cash (less the various deductions described in the Notice), as compared to the risk that the claims in the Action would produce a smaller or no recovery after summary judgment, trial and appeals, possibly years in the future.

Defendants have denied the claims asserted against them in the Action and deny having engaged in any wrongdoing or violation of law of any kind whatsoever. Defendants have agreed to the Settlement solely to eliminate the burden and expense of continued litigation. Accordingly, the Settlement may not be construed as an admission of any wrongdoing by Defendants.

If there were no Settlement and Plaintiffs failed to establish any essential legal or factual element of their claims against Defendants, neither Plaintiffs nor the other members of the Settlement Class would recover anything from Defendants. Also, if Defendants were successful in their motion to dismiss or proving any of their defenses, either at summary judgment, at trial or on appeal, the Settlement Class could recover substantially less than the amount provided in the Settlement, or nothing at all.

As a Settlement Class Member, you are represented by Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel, unless you enter an appearance through counsel of your own choice at your own expense. You are not required to retain your own counsel, but if you choose to do so, such counsel must file a notice of appearance on your behalf and must serve copies of his or her appearance on the attorneys listed in the section of the noticed entitled “When And Where Will The Court Decide Whether To Approve The Settlement?”. File a notice of intention to appear must be received no later than August 23,2019.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and do not wish to remain a Settlement Class Member, you may exclude yourself from the Settlement Class by following the instructions in the section of the notice entitled “What If I Do Not Want To Be A Member Of The Settlement Class?  How Do I Exclude Myself?”. The exclusion request must be received no later than August 23, 2019.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and you wish to object to the Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, or Lead Counsel’s application for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses, and if you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you may present your objections by following the instructions in the section of the notice entitled “When And Where Will The Court Decide Whether To Approve The Settlement?”. Objection to the settlement must be received no later than August 23, 2019.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you will be bound by any orders issued by the Court.  If the Settlement is approved, the Court will enter a judgment (the “Judgment”).  The Judgment will dismiss with prejudice the claims against Defendants and will provide that, upon the Effective Date of the Settlement, Plaintiffs and each of the other Settlement Class Members, on behalf of themselves, and each of their respective heirs, executors, successors, and assigns in their capacities as such, will have fully, finally and forever compromised, settled, remised, released, resolved, relinquished, waived and discharged each and every Released Plaintiffs’ Claim against the Defendants and the other Defendants’ Releasees and shall forever be barred and enjoined from prosecuting any or all of the Released Plaintiffs’ Claims against any of the Defendants or the Defendants’ Releasees.

“Released Plaintiffs’ Claims” means all individual, representative and class claims, causes of action or rights of recovery of every nature and description, whether known claims or Unknown Claims, direct or indirect, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, contingent or vested, whether arising under federal, state, local, statutory, common, foreign or other law, rule or regulation, that Plaintiffs or any other member of the Settlement Class (a) asserted in the TAC, or (b) could have asserted or could in the future assert in any court or forum based upon, relating to or arising from the allegations, transactions, facts, matters or occurrences, errors, representations, actions, failures to act or omissions that were alleged, set forth, or referred to in the TAC and that relate in any way, directly or indirectly, to the holding, purchase, or sale of Endurance common stock during the Settlement Class Period. Released Plaintiffs’ Claims do not include: (a) any claims relating to the enforcement of the Settlement; (b) any claims that as of the date hereof are or were asserted in McGee et al. v. Constant Contact, Inc. et al., Case No. 15 Civ. 13114 (MLW) (D. Mass.); and (c) any claims of any person or entity who or which submits a request for exclusion that is accepted by the Court.

“Defendants’ Releasees” means Defendants, their predecessors, successors, past, present and future parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective past or present general partners, limited partners, principals, members, officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents, servants, attorneys, accountants, auditors, underwriters, investment advisors, insurers, co-insurers, reinsurers and related or affiliated entities of the foregoing, in their capacities as such.

“Unknown Claims” means any Released Plaintiffs’ Claims which any Plaintiff or any other Settlement Class Member does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor at the time of the release of such claims, and any Released Defendants’ Claims which any Defendant or any other Defendants’ Releasees does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor at the time of the release of such claims, which, if known by him, her or it, might have affected his, her or its decision(s) with respect to this Settlement.  With respect to any and all Released Claims, the Parties stipulate and agree that, upon the Effective Date of the Settlement, Plaintiffs and Defendants shall expressly waive, and each of the other Settlement Class Members and each of the other Defendants’ Releasees shall be deemed to have waived, and by operation of the Judgment or the Alternate Judgment, if applicable, shall have expressly waived, any and all provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law or foreign law, which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to California Civil Code §1542, which provides:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

Plaintiffs and Defendants acknowledge, and each of the other Settlement Class Members and each of the other Defendants’ Releasees shall be deemed by operation of law to have acknowledged, that the foregoing waiver was separately bargained for and a key element of the Settlement.

The Judgment will also provide that, upon the Effective Date of the Settlement, Defendants, on behalf of themselves, and their respective legal representatives, heirs, executors, predecessors, successors, and assigns in their capacities as such, will have fully, finally and forever compromised, settled, released, resolved, relinquished, waived and discharged each and every Released Defendants’ Claim against Plaintiffs and the other Plaintiffs’ Releasees and shall forever be barred and enjoined from prosecuting any or all of the Released Defendants’ Claims against any of the Plaintiffs’ Releasees.

Released Defendants’ Claims” means all individual, representative and class claims, causes of action or rights of recovery of every nature and description, whether known claims or Unknown Claims, whether direct or indirect, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, contingent or vested, whether arising under federal, state, local, statutory, common, foreign or other law, rule or regulation that arise out of or relate in any way to the institution, prosecution, or settlement of the claims against Defendants.  Released Defendants’ Claims do not include any claims relating to the enforcement of the Settlement or any claims against any person or entity who or which submits a request for exclusion from the Settlement Class that is accepted by the Court.

“Plaintiffs’ Releasees” means Plaintiffs, all other plaintiffs in the Action, their respective attorneys, and all other Settlement Class Members, and each of the foregoing’s predecessors, successors, past, present and future parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and the respective past or present general partners, limited partners, principals, members, officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents, servants, attorneys, accountants, auditors, underwriters, investment advisors, insurers, co-insurers, reinsurers and related or affiliated entities of the forgoing, in their capacities as such.

THE DEADLINE TO FILE A CLAIM HAS PASSED. To be eligible for a payment from the proceeds of the Settlement, you must be a member of the Settlement Class and you must timely complete and return the Claim Form with adequate supporting documentation postmarked no later than May 31, 2019. Please retain all records of your own ownership of and transactions in Endurance common stock, as they may be needed to document your Claim. If you request exclusion from the Settlement Class or do not submit a timely and valid Claim Form, you will not be eligible to share in the Net Settlement Fund.

At this time, it is not possible to make any determination as to how much any individual Settlement Class Member may receive from the Settlement.

Pursuant to the Settlement, Defendants have agreed to pay or caused to be paid $18,650,000 in cash. The Settlement Amount will be deposited into an escrow account. The Settlement Amount plus any interest earned thereon is referred to as the “Settlement Fund.” If the Settlement is approved by the Court and the Effective Date occurs, the “Net Settlement Fund” (that is, the Settlement Fund less (a) all federal, state and/or local taxes on any income earned by the Settlement Fund and the reasonable costs incurred in connection with determining the amount of and paying taxes owed by the Settlement Fund (including reasonable expenses of tax attorneys and accountants); (b) the costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing notice to Settlement Class Members and administering the Settlement on behalf of Settlement Class Members; and (c) any attorneys’ fees and Litigation Expenses awarded by the Court) will be distributed to Settlement Class Members who submit valid Claim Forms, in accordance with the proposed Plan of Allocation or such other plan of allocation as the Court may approve.

The Net Settlement Fund will not be distributed unless and until the Court has approved the Settlement and a plan of allocation, and the time for any petition for rehearing, appeal or review, whether by certiorari or otherwise, has expired.

Neither Defendants nor any other person or entity that paid any portion of the Settlement Amount on their behalf are entitled to get back any portion of the Settlement Fund once the Court’s order or judgment approving the Settlement becomes Final.  Defendants shall not have any liability, obligation or responsibility for the administration of the Settlement, the disbursement of the Net Settlement Fund or the plan of allocation.

Approval of the Settlement is independent from approval of a plan of allocation. Any determination with respect to a plan of allocation will not affect the Settlement, if approved.

Unless the Court otherwise orders, any Settlement Class Member who fails to submit a Claim Form postmarked on or before May 31, 2019 shall be fully and forever barred from receiving payments pursuant to the Settlement but will in all other respects remain a Settlement Class Member and be subject to the provisions of the Stipulation, including the terms of any Judgment entered and the releases given. This means that each Settlement Class Member releases the Released Plaintiffs’ Claims against the Defendants and the Defendants’ Releasees and will be enjoined and prohibited from filing, prosecuting, or pursuing any of the Released Plaintiffs’ Claims against any of the Defendants or the Defendants’ Releasees whether or not such Settlement Class Member submits a Claim Form.

Participants in and beneficiaries of a plan covered by ERISA (“ERISA Plan”) should NOT include any information relating to their transactions in Endurance common stock held through the ERISA Plan in any Claim Form that they may submit in this Action.  They should include ONLY those shares or notes that they purchased or acquired outside of the ERISA Plan.  Claims based on any ERISA Plan’s purchases or acquisitions of Endurance common stock during the Settlement Class Period may be made by the plan’s trustees.  To the extent any of the Defendants or any of the other persons or entities excluded from the Settlement Class are participants in the ERISA Plan, such persons or entities shall not receive, either directly or indirectly, any portion of the recovery that may be obtained from the Settlement by the ERISA Plan. 

The Court has reserved jurisdiction to allow, disallow, or adjust on equitable grounds the Claim of any Settlement Class Member.

Each Claimant shall be deemed to have submitted to the jurisdiction of the Court with respect to his, her or its Claim Form.

Only Settlement Class Members, i.e., persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Endurance common stock during the Settlement Class Period and were injured as a result of such purchases or acquisitions, will be eligible to share in the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund. Persons and entities that are excluded from the Settlement Class by definition or that exclude themselves from the Settlement Class pursuant to request will not be eligible to receive a distribution from the Net Settlement Fund and should not submit Claim Forms.

Plaintiffs’ Counsel have not received any payment for their services in pursuing claims against the Defendants on behalf of the Settlement Class, nor have Plaintiffs’ Counsel been reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses. Before final approval of the Settlement, Lead Counsel will apply to the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees for all Plaintiffs’ Counsel in an amount not to exceed 33¹/₃% of the Settlement Fund. At the same time, Lead Counsel also intends to apply for reimbursement of Litigation Expenses in an amount not to exceed $225,000, which may include an application for reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Plaintiffs directly related to their representation of the Settlement Class. The Court will determine the amount of any award of attorneys’ fees or reimbursement of Litigation Expenses. Such sums as may be approved by the Court will be paid from the Settlement Fund. Settlement Class Members are not personally liable for any such fees or expenses.

THE DEADLINE TO EXCLUDE YOURSELF HAS PASSED. Each Settlement Class Member will be bound by all determinations and judgments in this lawsuit, whether favorable or unfavorable, unless such person or entity mails or delivers a written Request for Exclusion from the Settlement Class, addressed to Machado v. Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc., et al., EXCLUSIONS c/o JND Legal Administration, P.O. Box 91346, Seattle, WA 98111. The exclusion request must be received no later than August 23, 2019. You will not be able to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class after that date. Each Request for Exclusion must: (a) state the name, address and telephone number of the person or entity requesting exclusion, and in the case of entities the name and telephone number of the appropriate contact person; (b) state that such person or entity “requests exclusion from the Settlement Class in Machado v. Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:15-cv-11775-GAO”; (c) identify and state the number of Endurance common stock shares that the person or entity requesting exclusion purchased/acquired and/or sold during the Settlement Class Period (i.e., between October 25, 2013 and December 16, 2015, inclusive), as well as the dates and prices of each such purchase/acquisition and sale; and (d) be signed by the person or entity requesting exclusion or an authorized representative. A Request for Exclusion shall not be valid and effective unless it provides all the information called for in this paragraph and is received within the time stated above, or is otherwise accepted by the Court.

If you do not want to be part of the Settlement Class, you must follow these instructions for exclusion even if you have pending, or later file, another lawsuit, arbitration, or other proceeding relating to any Released Plaintiffs’ Claim against any of the Defendants’ Releasees.

If you ask to be excluded from the Settlement Class, you will not be eligible to receive any payment out of the Net Settlement Fund.

Defendants have the right to terminate the Settlement if valid for requests for exclusion are received from persons and entities entitled to be members of the Settlement Class in an amount that exceeds an amount agreed to by Lead Plaintiff and Defendants.

Settlement Class Members do not need to attend the Settlement Hearing. The Court will consider any submission made in accordance with the provisions below even if a Settlement Class Member does not attend the hearing. You can participate in the Settlement without attending the Settlement Hearing.

THE SETTLEMENT HEARING HAS PASSED. The Settlement Hearing was held on September 13, 2019 at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable George A. O’Toole, Jr. at the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse, Courtroom 9, 3rd Floor, 1 Courthouse Way, Boston, Massachusetts 02210.

You may file a written objection without having to appear at the Settlement Hearing.  You may not, however, appear at the Settlement Hearing to present your objection unless you first file and serve a written objection in accordance with the procedures described above, unless the Court orders otherwise.

If you wish to be heard orally at the hearing in opposition to the approval of the Settlement, the Plan of Allocation or Lead Counsel’s motion for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses, and if you timely file and serve a written objection as described above, you must also file a notice of appearance with the Clerk’s Office and serve it on Lead Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel at the addresses set forth above so that it is received on or before August 23, 2019. Persons who intend to object and desire to present evidence at the Settlement Hearing must include in their written objection or notice of appearance the identity of any witnesses they may call to testify and exhibits they intend to introduce into evidence at the hearing. Such persons may be heard orally at the discretion of the Court.

You are not required to hire an attorney to represent you in making written objections or in appearing at the Settlement Hearing.  However, if you decide to hire an attorney, it will be at your own expense, and that attorney must file a notice of appearance with the Court and serve it on Lead Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel at the addresses set forth above so that the notice is received on or August 23, 2019.

The Settlement Hearing may be adjourned by the Court without further written notice to the Settlement Class. If you intend to attend the Settlement Hearing, you should confirm the date and time with Lead Counsel.

Settlement Class Members do not need to appear at the Settlement Hearing or take any other action to indicate their approval.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Endurance common stock between October 25, 2013 and December 16, 2015, inclusive, for the beneficial interest of persons or organizations other than yourself, you must either: (a) within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the Postcard Notice, request from the Claims Administrator sufficient copies of the Postcard Notice to forward to all such beneficial owners and within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of those Postcard Notices forward them to all such beneficial owners; or (b) within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the Postcard Notice, provide a list of the names and addresses of all such beneficial owners to Machado v.
