There are many cases that have been consolidated as a multi -district litigation ("MDL") in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled: In re LIBOR Financial Instruments Litigation, 1 I -MD-2262. This Settlement is made with Plaintiffs in the OTC Action only. bJisa aw4Ottnic?„ In a class action, one or more people called "Class Representatives" sue on behalf of themselves and other people with similar claims. All of these people together are the "class" or "class members." In this Settlement, the Class Representatives are: the Mayor and City of Baltimore; City of New Britain; Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC; Yale University; Jennie Stuart Medical Center, Inc.; Variety Children's Hospital doing business as Miami Children's Hospital; Highlander Realty LLC; and SEIU Pension Plans Master Trust. One court resolves the issues for all Class Members, except for those who exclude themselves from the OTC Class. The Court has not decided in favor of the Plaintiffs or Barclays. Instead, the Parties have engaged in lengthy negotiations, and Plaintiffs and Barclays have agreed to a Settlement. By agreeing to settle, the Parties avoid the costs and uncertainty of a trial, and the people affected will get a chance to receive compensation. The Class Plaintiffs and their attorneys think the Settlement is best for all OTC Class Members. The proposed Settlement does not mean that any law was broken or that Barclays did anything wrong.
