FURTHER SUPPORT . PRELIM. APPROVA L OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT -iii- Master File No. 99-CV-20743 RMW (PVT) 1 II INTRODUCTION 2 On July 12, 2005, the New York State Common Retirement Fund (the "Lead Plaintiff" ) 3 [ and McKesson Corporation ("McKesson") submitted a Second Revised Proposed Final 4 I Judgment and Order of Dismissal ("Second Revised Proposed Judgment") to address the 5 [ concerns expressed in the Court's May 23, 2005 Order Denying Preliminary Approval of Clas s 6 [ Action Settlement ("May 23 Order"), Only Bear, Steams & Co ., Inc. ("Bear Stearns") continue s 7 [ to object. 8 As explained below, the Second Revised Proposed Judgment directly addresses the 9 concerns expressed in the Court's May 23 Order. The bar order has been revised to preserve 10 Bear Steams' contract-based claims, as well as defenses to such claims, and is consistent with 11 the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA") .' In addition, the Second 1 2 Revised Proposed Judgment eliminates the previous judgment reduction provision that was 13 disapproved in the Court's May 23 Order . ¶12. 14 Not satisfied, Bear Stearns adds invective to prior unsuccessful arguments, accusing the 15 Settling Parties of violating Bear Stearns' purported contract rights .2 Again, Bear Steams is 16 wrong. The Settling Parties included special provisions to accommodate Bear Stearns' contrac t 17 and specifically preserved Bear Stearns' contract-based claims . ¶ 10, 13. Bear Stearns' 1 8 purported rights under its contract are not prejudiced in any way . 19 The validity of such rights is not an issue before this Court . Thus, while Bear Steams' 20 claimed rights are in fact unenforceable for multiple reasons, the Court need not decide the issue 21 in order to preliminarily approve the Settlement because that contested issue is specifically 22 preserved . ' 10. It would be unprecedented to deny preliminary approval of a class actio n 23 24 25 E Second Revised Proposed Judgment, ¶10 . Throughout, "T,-" refers to paragraphs of the 26 Second Revised Proposed Judgment . 27 2 "Settling Parties" refers collectively to Lead Plaintiff, McKesson and McKesson Information Solutions, Inc. ("HBO & Company" or "HBOC") . 28 LEAD PLAINTIFFS RESPONSE TO BEAR, ST EARNS & CO., INC.'S OPPOSITION TO THE STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Master File No . 99-CV-20743 RMW (PVT) 1 settlement based on the contested assertion of a non-settling defendant that it has veto power 2 over any settlement or, alternatively, must be released as part of any settlement . 3 f II. ARGUMENT 4 A. The Proposed Judgment Addresses The Concerns Expressed In The Court's May 23 Order 5 6 The Second Revised Proposed Judgment addresses the two concerns expressed in th e 7 Court's May 23 Order . First, with respect to the bar order provisions, the Second Revise d 8 I Proposed Judgment makes clear that the bar order shall not "bar any claim by Bear Stearn s 9 against McKesson based on any contract (other than claims for contribution that are barred by § 10 1 21D(0(7)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U .S .C. § 78u-(f)(7)(A)) . ." ¶i0. 11 Second, the Second Revised Proposed Judgment eliminates the judgment reduction provision 12 that the Court

    ALEX PADILLA SECRETARY OF STATE OFFICE March 2020 Report Corporations Code Section 301.3 Report Methodology The July 2019 Report and March 2020 Report have been created by using publicly available information provided in annual California and annual federal filings by corporations, as well as information provided by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NYSE American (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange or AMEX and more recently as NYSE MKT), National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ), and other sources available on the internet, including company websites. The Secretary of State posted a benchmark report on July 1, 2019, listing all publicly held corporations that stated a principal executive office in California on the annual report filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Form 10-K) during the 6-month period of January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019. The July 2019 Report also listed all publicly traded corporations identified through the Publicly Traded Disclosure Search on the Secretary of State’s website that reported having at least one female director on their annual Corporate Disclosure Statement filings with the Secretary of State. The March 2020 Report has been created by combining information in the July 2019 Report with data for the additional 6-month period of July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019. The information and statistics provided in the reports were generated by a search of the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (EDGAR) for corporations listing a principal executive office in California on their SEC Form 10-K filing.

The Draft IS/MND was available for a 30-day public review period from April 30, 2018 to May 30, 2018 pursuant to Section 15073 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The Notice of Availability and Notice of Intent (NOA/NOI) to adopt the IS/MND was posted with the City and County of San Francisco Clerk and the State Clearinghouse, mailed to all residents and businesses within ¼-mile of the project site, emailed to the project’s listserv of relevant stakeholders and interested people, made available on the BART website, and provided for public review at the San Francisco Main Library at Civic Center.
