Who are the class members?
The class members include all record and beneficial holders of Gig2 Common Stock who held such shares between the close of business on April 26, 2021, and June 9, 2021. These shares could be held as separate shares or as part of Public Units.

How much can class members get?

The Net Settlement Fund is calculated by deducting taxes, fees, and expenses from the Settlement Amount. The remaining amount is distributed based on the number of eligible shares.
For example, if the Net Settlement Fund is $6,000,000 and there are 1,000,000 eligible shares, each share would receive $6, pro rata.
