Class Actions are pending against certain manufacturers of DRAM. In the Class Actions, plaintiffs allege that defendants unlawfully agreed to fix, raise, maintain and stabilize the prices of DRAM and/or to allocate among themselves major customers and accounts in violation of the federal antitrust laws during the period of April 1, 1999 through June 30, 2002. Plaintiffs allege that, as a result of defendants' unlawful conduct, they and members of the Class paid more for DRAM than they would have in the absence of defendants' wrongful conduct. Defendants deny plaintiffs' allegations and have asserted numerous affirmative defenses. On June 5, 2006, the Court certified the Class described above.

This notice is given pursuant to the Federal Rules of Procedure and Orders of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California to inform Class Members that, in exchange for the release of claims by Settlement Class members against the defendants who have settled, three separate settlements have been reached with defendants :

(1) Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric and Electronics USA, Inc. for Seven Million One Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($7,100,000); (2) Hitachi, Ltd. for Eleven Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($11,500,000); and (3) Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. and Toshiba Corporation for Nine Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($9,250,000) (collectively referred to herein as the “Settling Defendants”).

On May 12, 2010, a hearing was held in San Francisco, California. The Court determined that each of the proposed settlements were fair, adequate and reasonable to the Class, and whether, therefore, this litigation should be dismissed with prejudice against the Settling Defendants.

THE DEADLINE TO FILE A CLAIM IS DECEMBER 3, 2010.

If you change your address, or if the Claim Form was not mailed to your correct address, you should immediately provide your correct address in writing to the Class Administrator at the address listed below.

Members of the Class will be entitled to receive money from the settlement fund when it is ultimately distributed. At final approval, Class Counsel and Plaintiff will ask the Court to approve a plan of allocation and distribution of the Net Settlement Fund on a pro rata basis among Class Members based on the dollar amount each Class Member paid to the Defendants for direct purchases of DRAM from the Defendants during the period of April 1, 1999 through June 30, 2002. If you want to exclude yourself from this Settlement, you must send a written Request for Exclusion to the Class Administrator at the address listed below no later than August 16, 2010. If you want to object to any or all of the settlements, you must file a written objection no later than August 16, 2010.

A more detailed description of this litigation, the proposed settlements and your rights as a Class Member is contained in the Notice of Proposed Settlement with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric and Electronics USA, Inc., Hitachi, LTD., Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. and Toshiba Corporation. (the "Notice").
