Page 11 LISTS OF ADRS AT ISSUE IN THE LITIGATION Appendixes 1 & 2 PLAN OF ALLOCATION OF NET SETTLEMENT FUND Exhibit 1 I SUMMARY OF THE SETTLEMENT· I 1. As described in more detail below (and in the operative complaint filed in the Litigation), Plaintiffs alleged that during the relevant time period, Defendant, JPM, as depositary bank for the issuance of ADRs, systematically deducted impermissible fees for conducting FX from dividends and/or cash distributions issued by foreign companies, and owed to ADR holders. A copy of the operative complaint in the Litigation - the [Corrected] Amended Class Action Complaint, dated November 28, 2016 ("Amended Class Action Complaint"), is available on the website for the Settlement, www.JPMorganADRFXSettlement.com. 2. An Escrow Account has been established to hold the Settlement Amount prior to being distributed to Authorized Recipients pursuant to the Court-approved plan of allocation. After the Settlement becomes Final and pursuant to Order of the Court, the Net Settlement Amount will be distributed to Authorized Recipients. Plaintiffs' damages expert estimates that the Settlement Class's recovery represents nearly thirty percent of the damages that he calculated from the alleged ADR FX practices for the relevant securities. This is only an estimate. JPM does not concede the accuracy of Plaintiffs' damages expert's calculation, or that there were any damages. A Settlement Class Member's Recognized Claim, as explained in the Plan of Allocation, reflects Plaintiffs' view of the purported margin(s) retained by JPM for FX conversions of ADR dividends and cash distributions. A Settlement Class Member's actual recovery will be based upon the Net Settlement Fund, which will consist of the Settlement Fund, less certain amounts to be deducted from the Settlement Fund as described in the Stipulation, including expenses associated with providing notice to the Settlement Class, Court-awarded attorneys' fees and Litigation Expenses (including any Service Awards to Plaintiffs for the effort and time spent by them in connection with the prosecution of the Litigation), Taxes and Tax Expenses, and other costs related to the administration of the Settlement Fund and implementation of the Plan of Allocation, and will be allocated in accordance with the plan of allocation approved by the Court. ( See 1!1!38-41 below and the proposed Plan of Allocation attached as Exhibit 1). 3. The Settlement Class is defined as follows: All Persons or entities who are or were holders (directly or indirectly, registered or beneficially) of or otherwise claim any entitlement to any payment (whether a dividend, rights offering, interest on capital, sale of shares or other distribution) in connection with: (1) the securities listed in Appendix 1 hereto (including any predecessor or successor securities) from November 21, 2010 to July 18, 2018, inclusive; or (2) the securities listed in Appendix 2 hereto (including any predecessor or successor securities) from November 21, 2012 to July 18, 2018, inclusive. Please Note: There are exceptions to being included in the Settlement Class. A description of those Persons excluded by definition from the Settlement Class is provided below in 1!24. 4. As with any litigation, the Settling Parties would face an uncertain outcome of continuing this Litigation. Absent the Settlement, orders and appeals on class certification, summary judgment and a trial could result in a judgment or verdict greater or less than the recovery obtained by the Settlement, or no recovery at all. This Litigation has been hotly contested from the outset. Throughout this Litigation, Plaintiffs and JPM have disagreed on both liability and damages. JPM, among other things: (1) has denied, and continues to deny, the material allegations of the Amended Class Action Complaint; (2) has denied, and continues to deny, any wrongdoing or liability whatsoever; (3) would contest the propriety of class certification; (4) believes that its actions were a proper exercise of its judgment and were in good faith and in its best judgment, and complied with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, codes, market practices, and standards; (5) would assert certain other defenses if the Settlement is not consummated; and (6) is entering into the Settlement solely to avoid the cost, disruption, and uncertainty of continued litigation. The Settling Parties have taken into account the uncertainty and risks inherent in this Litigation, particularly its complex nature, and have concluded that it is desirable that this Litigation be fully and finally settled on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stipulation. 5. Over the course of this Litigation, the Settling Parties briefed motions to dismiss the complaints in the Litigation and engaged in discovery efforts, which included Defendant's production of over 250,000 pages of documents, Plaintiffs' production of over 10,000 pages of documents, six depositions and the exchange of Plaintiffs' expert report in support of class certification. The Settling Parties' discovery efforts were ongoing when the Settlement was reached. 6. Lead Counsel in this Litigation, on behalf of Plaintiffs' counsel, will apply to the Court for an award of attorneys' fees in an amount not to exceed 33½% of the Settlement Amount and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses of Plaintiffs' counsel in an amount not to exceed $400,000, plus interest earned on these amounts. Plaintiffs will share in the allocation of the money 3 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-1 Filed 06/20/19 Page 18 of 41 paid to members of the Settlement Class on the same basis and to the same extent as all other members of the Settlement Class, except that, in addition thereto, Plaintiffs may apply to the Court for Service Awards of up to $50,000 in the aggregate. Any Service Award granted to Plaintiffs by the Court will be payable from the Settlement Fund, and will compensate Plaintiffs for their effort and time spent in connection with the prosecution of the Litigation, as supported by adequate written documentation of such effort and time. The aggregate amount of Service Awards (i.e., $50,000) is reflected in the maximum amount of Litigation Expenses set forth above. BASIC INFORMATION ,.. ·. Wl1atlsTf1ePurpose Of This N.otice? ············ I 7. The Court has directed the issuance of this Notice to inform potential members of the Settlement Class about the proposed Settlement with JPM before the Court decides whether to approve the Settlement. If the Court approves the Settlement, and any related objections and appeals are favorably resolved, the Settlement Amount, net of the costs, fees and expenses described herein, will be allocated among eligible Settlement Class Members according to a Court-approved plan of allocation and the Released Defendant Parties and Released Plaintiff Parties will be released from all Released Claims and Released Defendant Claims, respectively, as set forth in the Stipulation. 8. This Notice explains the Litigation, the Settlement, your legal rights (if you are a Settlement Class Member as defined in ,I24), what benefits are available, who is eligible for them, and how you will receive your portion of the benefits. The Notice also informs you of the Final Approval Hearing to be held by the Court to consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the Settlement and to consider Lead Counsel's motion for an award of attorneys' fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses from the Settlement Amount, which may include Service Awards to Plaintiffs. 9. The Final Approval Hearing will be on August 8, 2019 at 11 :00 a.m., before the Honorable Valerie E. Caproni in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Courtroom 443 of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, NY 10007, to determine: • whether the Settlement should be approved as fair, reasonable and adequate; • whether the Amended Class Action Complaint should be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to the terms of the Settlement; • whether the Notice and the means of dissemination thereof pursuant to the Settlement: (i) were appropriate and reasonable and constituted due, adequate, and sufficient notice to all Persons entitled to such notice; and (ii) met all applicable requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and any other applicable law; and • whether Lead Counsel's application for attorneys' fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses, including Service Awards to Plaintiffs, should be approved. 10. The issuance of this Notice is not an expression of the Court's opinion on the merits of any claim in this Litigation, and the Court still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. If the Court approves the Settlement, payment to Authorized Recipients will be made after all related appeals, if any, are favorably resolved. It is always uncertain whether such appeals can be favorably resolved, and resolving them can take time, perhaps more than a year. Please be patient. 11. On May 1, 2015, the Merryman Plaintiffs filed a complaint in the action captioned Merryman et al. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 15-5100-TLB (W.D. Ark.) ("Arkansas Complaint"). The Arkansas Complaint asserted claims for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and conversion. On July 10, 2015, JPM moved to dismiss, or, in the alternative, to transfer the Arkansas Complaint to the Southern District of New York. The Merryman Plaintiffs opposed JPM's motion. On November 19, 2015, the court granted JPM's motion to dismiss the Arkansas Complaint without prejudice on the grounds that the court lacked personal jurisdiction over JPM. 12. On November 21, 2015, the Merryman Plaintiffs filed the initial complaint in the Litigation (i.e., the "Class Action Complaint") asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and conversion. As noted above, Plaintiffs alleged that during the relevant time period, JPM, as depositary bank for the issuance of ADRs, systematically deducted impermissible fees from dividends and/or cash distributions issued by foreign companies, and owed to ADR holders. More specifically, as Plaintiffs alleged, JPM assigned FX rates to the conversion of non-U.S. dollar-based dividends and cash distributions by foreign companies, which reflected a spread that was added to the FX rate JPM actually received at the time of the conversion. As a result of its practice of adding a spread to FX rates, Plaintiffs alleged that JPM improperly retained millions of dollars from dividends and cash distributions owed and payable to the class. 13. On January 22, 2016, JPM moved to dismiss the Class Action Complaint and/or stay all claims relating to the Chungwha Deposit Agreement in favor of arbitration. The Merryman Plaintiffs opposed JPM's motion on Februmy 22, 2016. On August 30, 2016, the Court heard argument on JPM's motion to dismiss and, on September 29, 2016, entered its Memorandum Opinion & Order granting in part and denying in part the motion ("September 29 Order"). Specifically, the Court: (i) denied JPM's motion to dismiss the breach of contract claim for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted; and (ii) granted JPM's motion as to the breach of contract claims that accrued more than five years before the commencement of the lawsuit. By the September 29 Order, the Court also granted JPM's motion to dismiss as to the Merryman Plaintiffs' claims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, conversion, and punitive damages; granted JPM's motion to compel arbitration of 4 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-1 Filed 06/20/19 Page 19 of 41 all claims relating to the Chungwha ADR; and granted JPM's motion to deny the Merryman Plaintiffs' standing to represent ADR holders who held ADRs in which the Merryman Plaintiffs did not invest. 14. On October 13, 2016, the Merryman Plaintiffs moved for partial reconsideration of the September 29 Order, which JPM opposed on October 31, 2016. By Memorandum Opinion & Order entered February 2, 2017, the Court denied the Merryman Plaintiffs' motion for partial reconsideration of the September 29 Order. 15. In the meantime, on October 28, 2016, the Court entered an order that, among other things, permitted the Merryman Plaintiffs to amend the Class Action Complaint. In accordance with that Order, Plaintiffs filed the Amended Class Action Complaint, which added Chester County Employees Retirement Fund as a plaintiff. Plaintiffs filed a corrected version of their complaint on November 28, 2016. 16. JPM moved to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint on January 13, 2017. Plaintiffs filed their opposition to JPM's partial motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint on February 13, 2017, related to statute of limitations issues. On May 5, 2017, the Court entered its Memorandum Opinion & Order granting JPM's motion in its entirety as it related to statute of limitations issues. 17. JPM answered the Amended Class Action Complaint on May 19, 2017. Thereafter, Plaintiffs and Defendant commenced discovery, which included Defendant producing over 250,000 pages of documents, Plaintiffs producing over 10,000 pages of documents, six depositions and the exchange of Plaintiffs' expert report in support of class certification. 18. While discovery efforts were ongoing, Lead Counsel and Defendant's Counsel began discussing the possibility of resolving the Litigation. Following hard-fought, arm's-length negotiations spanning the course of several months, the Settling Parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the Litigation and executed a term sheet setting forth the material terms of their agreement on April 12, 2018. On the same day, the Settling Parties notified the Court of the Term Sheet. 19. Over the next two months, the Settling Parties negotiated and documented the specific terms and conditions of the Settlement, which are embodied in the Stipulation dated June 12, 2018. The Stipulation can be viewed at www.JPMorqanADRFXSettlement.com. 20. Thereafter, on July 18, 2018, the Court entered the Preliminary Approval Order, authorizing that this Notice be sent to potential Settlement Class Members and scheduling the Final Approval Hearing to consider whether to grant final approval of the Settlement, among other things. On March 25, 2019, the Court entered an Order approving certain modifications to the notice plan. Why Is This Litigation AClass Action? . I 21. In a class action, one or more individuals or entities, referred to as "plaintiffs," sue on behalf of individuals and entities who have similar claims. All of the Persons on whose behalf Plaintiffs in this Litigation are suing are members of a "class" referred to in this Notice as Settlement Class Members or members of the Settlement Class. Because Plaintiffs believe that the wrongful conduct alleged in this case affected all holders of the JPM-sponsored ADRs at issue in the Litigation (reflected in Appendixes 1 & 2 hereto) in the same way, Plaintiffs filed their case as putative class action. The Settlement Class has been provisionally certified by the Court for purposes of effectuating the Settlement. ··. Wh)'ls There A Settlement?. I 22. The Court has not expressed any opinions or reached any decisions on the ultimate merits of Plaintiffs' claims against JPM. Instead, Plaintiffs and JPM have agreed to a Settlement to resolve the Litigation. In reaching the Settlement, the Settling Parties have avoided the cost and time of further litigation, including the costs and expenses involved in completing discovery, class certification briefing, summary judgment briefing, a trial, post-trial briefing and potential appeals. As with any litigation, Plaintiffs would face an uncertain outcome if this case proceeded. Pursuing the Litigation against JPM could result in a verdict offering relief greater than this Settlement, a verdict for less money than Plaintiffs have obtained through this Settlement, or no recovery at all. Based on these risks and an evaluation of other unique risks presented by this case, Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel believe the Settlement is in the best interests of all members of the Settlement Class. Additional information concerning the Settlement and these factors is available on the website, www.JPMorganADRFXSettlement.com. 23. As stated above, the Settlement is the product of hard-fought, arm's-length negotiations between Lead Counsel and Defendant's Counsel, both of which are very experienced with respect to complex litigation of this type. Lead Counsel believes the proposed Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate and in the best interest of the Settlement Class. How Do I Know If I AmParfOfThe Settlement Class? I 24. The Court has provisionally certified the following Settlement Class: All Persons or entities who are or were holders (directly or indirectly, registered or beneficially) of or otherwise claim any entitlement to any payment (whether a dividend, rights offering, interest on capital, sale of shares or other distribution) in connection with: (1) the securities listed in Appendix 1 hereto (including any predecessor or successor securities) from November 21, 2010 to July 18, 2018, inclusive; or (2) the securities listed in Appendix 2 hereto (including any predecessor or successor securities) from November 21, 2012 to July 18, 2018, inclusive. 5 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-1 Filed 06/20/19 Page 20 of 41 JPM and its officers, directors, legal representatives, heirs, successors, corporate parents, subsidiaries, and/or assigns, other than Investment Vehicles2 (which are not excluded), are excluded from the Settlement Class only to the extent that such Persons or entities had a proprietary (i.e., for their own account) interest in the securities listed in Appendix 1 or 2 hereto and not to the extent that they have held the securities in a fiduciary capacity or otherwise on behalf of any third-party client, account, fund, trust or employee benefit plan that otherwise falls within the definition of the Settlement Class. Also excluded from the Settlement Class are any Persons and entities who or which exclude themselves from the Settlement Class by submitting a request for exclusion that is accepted by the Court. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE A SETTLEMENT CLASS MEMBER AND WHETHER YOU ARE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PROCEEDS FROM THE SETTLEMENT. IF YOU ARE A NON-REGISTERED HOLDER SETTLEMENT CLASS MEMBER AND YOU WISH TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A PAYMENT FROM THE SETTLEMENT, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM AND THE REQUIRED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AS SET FORTH THEREIN POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 19, 2019. YOU CAN OBTAIN A COPY OF THE CLAIM FORM, OR SUBMIT A CLAIM ONLINE, AT WWW.JPMORGANADRFXSETTLEMENT.COM. · · · · WhatDoesJhe~ettlemEi,if Provide? · 25. The Settlement provides for $9,500,000 to be paid by or on behalf of Defendant to settle the Litigation. The $9,500,000, plus interest that accrues on this amount, will be distributed to the Settlement Class after costs, expenses and fees are deducted as described below. Plaintiffs' damages expert estimates that the Settlement Class's recovery represents nearly thirty percent of the damages that he calculated from the alleged ADR FX practices for the relevant securities. This is only an estimate. JPM does not concede the accuracy of Plaintiffs' damages expert's calculation, or that there were any damages. A Settlement Class Member's Recognized Claim, as explained in the Plan of Allocation, reflects Plaintiffs' view of the purported margin(s) retained by JPM for FX conversions of ADR dividends and cash distributions. A Settlement Class Member's actual recovery will depend upon the net amount in the Settlement Fund (after the deduction of certain amounts as described herein and in the Stipulation, including Notice and Administration Costs, Court-approved attorneys' fees and Litigation Expenses, including any Service Awards to Plaintiffs, and Taxes and Tax Expenses), which will be allocated and paid to eligible Settlement Class Members according to the plan of allocation approved by the Court. 26. The Settlement will provide for cash payments to Settlement Class Members who do not exclude themselves from the Settlement Class pursuant to 'f[1]'43-48 below. Registered Holder Settlement Class Members do not need to submit a Claim Form in order to be eligible for a payment from the Settlement. Non-Registered Holder Settlement Class Member must submit a valid Claim Form in orrlP-r to be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement. 27. If the Settlement is approved, the Court will enter a judgment ("Judgment"). The Judgment will dismiss with prejudice the claims allegeJ i11 ltie Lilig:,ilion against Defendant and pursuant to the Judgment, without further action by anyone, upon the Effective Date of the Settlement, Plaintiffs and each Settlement Class Member, on behalf of themselves and each of their respective present and former affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, predecessors, assigns, assignees, partnerships, partners, trustees, trusts or holdings of personal or family assets, estates, heirs, executors, administrators, members, managers, owners, beneficiaries, custodians, representatives, devisees, legatees, Immediate Family members, advisors, consultants, insurers, reinsurers, stockholders, investors, nominees and attorneys and any Person legally entitled to bring Released Claims on behalf of each of them, in their capacities as such, any Person(s) they represent in connection with the Litigation or in connection with the purchase or sale of any of the securities listed in Appendix 1 or 2, and any Person(s) who claim through or on behalf of them, in that capacity, shall be deemed to have, and by operation of law and of the judgment shall have, fully, finally and forever compromised, settled, released, resolved, relinquished, waived and discharged each and every Released Claim against any of the Released Defendant Parties, and shall forever be barred and enjoined from prosecuting any or all of the Released Claims (as defined below) against any of the Released Defendant Parties (as defined below). All Settlement Class Members shall be bound by the terms of the Releases set forth in the Stipulation whether or not they obtain a recovery from the Settlement Fund, or seek, or actually receive a distribution from the Net Settlement Fund. 28. "Released Claims" means all claims and causes of action of every nature and description, whether known or unknown (i.e., "Unknown Claims" as defined below), asserted or unasserted, whether arising under federal, state, common or foreign law, whether in connection with the applicable deposit agreements or otherwise, whether class, derivative or individual in nature, that (a) were or could have been asserted in the Complaints, or any other forum that arise out of, are based upon, or relate in any way to the allegations set forth in the Complaints or (b) arise from, are based upon, or relate in any way to the conversion of foreign currency (including but not limited to any sale, receipt, price, charges, expenses, costs, margins, markup, spread, fee, profit, exchange, adjustment, deduction or disclosure) in connection with the deposit agreements, depositary receipts, common share agreements and/or transfer agency, registrar and dividend disbursing agreements applicable to the securities listed in Appendix 1 or 2 hereto (including any predecessor or successor securities), including but not limited to in connection with any payment, transter, disbursement or distribution (whether associated with a dividend, rights offering, interest on capital, sale of shares or otherwise).

With respect to any and all Released Claims and Released Defendant Claims, the Settling Parties stipulate and agree that, upon the Effective Date, each of the Plaintiffs and Defendant shall expressly waive, and each of the other Settlement Class Members shall be deemed to have, and by operation of the Order and Final Judgment or any Alternative Judgment shall have, expressly waived and relinquished any and all provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States or any other jurisdiction, or principle of common law that 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. Any Settling Party may hereafter discover facts, legal theories, or authorities in addition to or different from those which he, she, or it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released Claims and the Released Defendant Claims, but each of the Plaintiffs and Defendant shall expressly, fully, and forever settle and release, and each Settlement Class Member shall be deemed to have settled and released, and upon the Effective Date and by operation of the Order and Final Judgment or any Alternative Judgment shall have settled and released, fully, finally, and forever, any and all Released Claims and Released Defendant Claims as applicable, known or unknown, suspect or unsuspected, contingent or noncontingent, whether or not concealed or hidden, which have existed or now or will exist, upon any theory of law or equity, including, but not limited to, conduct which is negligent, reckless, intentional, with or without malice, or breach of any duty, law, or rule, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts, legal theories or authorities.

If you are a Settlement Class Member who holds (or held) your eligible securities through a bank, broker or other nominee and are not listed on the records of JPM's transfer agent (i.e., a Non-Registered Holder Settlement Class Member) and you wish to be eligible to receive a payment from the proceeds of the Settlement, you must timely complete and return the Claim Form with adequate supporting documentation postmarked, or submitted online, no later than September 19, 2019. You can go to www.JPMorganADRFXSettlement.com to submit a Claim. You can also obtain a Claim Form on the website, or you may 7 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-1 Filed 06/20/19 Page 22 of 41 request that a Claim Form be mailed to you by calling the Claims Administrator toll free at 1-866-637-9457 or by sending an email to the Claims Administrator at [email protected]. Please retain all records of your holdings in the eligible ADRs, as they may be needed to document your claim. If you are a Non-Registered Holder Settlement Class Member and do not submit a timely and valid Claim Form, you will not be eligible to share in the Net Settlement Fund. 36. If you are a Settlement Class Member who holds (or held) your eligible securities directly and are listed on the records of JPM's transfer agent (i.e., a Registered Holder Settlement Class Member) you do not have to take any further action in order to participate in the Settlement and be potentially eligible to receive c1 pc1ymont from the proceeds of the Settlement. If you are a Registered Holder Settlement Class Member, you should receive/should have received a Postcard Notice in the mail that contains a unique Claim Number and PIN. You can use this Claim Number and PIN to access information regarding the eligible ADRs you held and the dividends/cash distributions you received as a result of such holdings that was obtained from J PM's transfer agent on the website www.JPMorqanADRFXSettlement.com. Please Note: If you are a Registered Holder Settlement Class Member, your Recognized Claim and payment amount will be calculated pursuant to the information provided by JPM's transfer agent. If the information regarding your holdings and distributions set forth on the website is incorrect or incomplete, you must notify the Claims Administrator (as set forth in ,I69 herein) immediately. If the Claims Administrator does not hear from you, they will assume the information provided by JPM's transfer agent and set forth on the website is correct and complete and will use it to calculate your Claim. 37. Settlement Class Members who exclude themselves from the Settlement Class pursuant to ,I,I43-48 below, will not receive a payment from the Settlement proceeds. 38. At this time, it is not possible to make a precise determination as to the amount of any payment that any individual Settlement Class Member may receive from the Settlement. 39. Exhibit 1 to this Notice sets forth the Plan of Allocation for allocating the Net Settlement Fund among Authorized Recipients, as proposed by Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel. At the Final Approval Hearing, Lead Counsel will request the Court approve the Plan of Allocation. The Court may modify the Plan of Allocation, or approve a different plan of allocation, without further notice to the Settlement Class. 40. The Plan of Allocation describes the manner by which the Net Settlement Fund will be distributed to eligible Settlement Class Members. In general, the Net Settlement Fund will be allocated to (i) Registered Holder Settlement Class Members and (ii) Non-Registered Holder Settlement Class Members who submit valid Claim Forms. The amount paid to each Authorized Recipient will depend on each Authorized Recipient's calculated Recognized Claim, relative to the Recognized Claims of other Authorized Recipients. Because the Net Settlement Fund most likely will be less than the total losses alleged to have been suffered in the Liti(.lc1tion, an Authorized Recipient's proportionate recovery most likely will be less than their alleged lofis 41. The tax treatment of any distribution varies based upon the recipient's tax status and treatment of its investments. The tax treatment of any distribution from the Net Settlement Fund is the responsibility of each recipient. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences, if any, of any distribution to you. 42. Payment is conditioned on several matters, including the Court's approval of the Settlement and that approval becoming Final and no longer subject to any appeals. If the Court approves the Settlement and a plan of allocation, then payments to Authorized Recipients 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. t 43. Yes. You may request to be excluded (also referred to as "opting-out") from the Settlement Class. If you request exclusion, (a) you will not participate in any distribution of the Net Settlement Fund and will not receive any part of the Settlement Amount; (b) you will not be bound by the terms of the Settlement, including the Releases, and you will retain any right you may have to file your own lawsuit concerning the Released Claims; and (c) you will not be able to object to the Settlement. 44. In the event you wish to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you must submit a written Request for Exclusion, which must be received no later than July 3, 2019, to: JPMorgan ADR FX Settlement c/o KCC Class Action Services EXCLUSIONS 3301 Kerner Boulevard San Rafael, CA 94901 45. In order to be valid, a Request for Exclusion must: (i) 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; (ii) state that such Person or entity "requests exclusion from the Settlement Class in Merryman et al. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 15-cv-09188-VEC"; (iii) identify (including quantity and dates held) the securities listed on Appendix 1 or 2 hereto 8 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-1 Filed 06/20/19 Page 23 of 41 owned by such Person or entity and the dividends/cash distributions such Person or entity received per eligible security during the relevant time period; and (iv) be signed by the Person or entity requesting exclusion or an authorized representative. 46. To be effective, your Request for Exclusion must be received no later than July 3, 2019. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, any Settlement Class Member who does not submit a timely and valid Request for Exclusion as provided herein shall be bound by the Settlement. Do not request exclusion if you wish to participate in the Settlement. 47. You cannot exclude yourself on the Settlement website, by telephone or by email. If you do not follow these procedures - including meeting the deadline for requesting exclusion set forth above - you will not be excluded from the Settlement Class, and you will be bound by all of the orders and judgments entered by the Court regarding the Settlement, including the release of claims. 48. Please Note: If you decide to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, there is a risk that any lawsuit you may file to pursue claims alleged in the Litigation may be dismissed, including because the suit is not filed within the applicable time periods required for filing suit. JPM will have the right to assert any and all defenses it may have to any claims you seek to assert. Also, JPM may terminate the Settlement if potential Settlement Class Members who meet certain criteria exclude themselves from the Settlement Class. THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU DolHave Al.:awyer In This .Case? 49. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP is Lead Counsel for Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class in the Litigation.

Lead Counsel's application for attorneys' fees will not exceed 33½% of the Settlement Fund plus reimbursement of Litigation Expenses not to exceed $400,000 incurred in connection with the prosecution and resolution of this Litigation. Lead Counsel's application for attorneys' fees and Litigation Expenses, which may include requests for Service Awards to Plaintiffs up to an aggregate amount of $50,000, will be filed by June 20, 2019, and the Court will consider this application at the Final Approval Hearing.

Any award of attorneys' fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses, including any Service Awards to Plaintiffs, will be paid from the Settlement Fund prior to allocation and payment to Authorized Recipients. Settlement Class Members are not personally liable for any such attorneys' fees or expenses. 51. To date, neither Lead Counsel nor any other firms representing Plaintiffs, have received any payment for their services in prosecuting this Litigation on behalf of the Settlement Class, nor have any counsel been reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with litigating this Litigation. The attorneys' fees requested by Lead Counsel will compensate counsel for their efforts in achieving the Settlement for the benefit of the Settlement Class and for their risk in undertaking this representation on a contingency basis. The Court will determine the actual amount of the award. 52. By following the procedures described in ,T1f53-59 below, you can tell the Court that you do not agree with the attorneys' fees and expenses Lead Counsel intend to seek and ask the Court to deny Lead Counsel's motion or limit the award.

In accordance with the Settlement, the Net Settlement Fund will be allocated to (i) Registered Holder Settlement Class Members and (ii) Non-Registered Holder Settlement Class Members who submit valid Claim Forms. The Court may approve the below Plan, or modify it, without additional notice to the Settlement Class. Any order modifying the Plan will be posted on the website for the Settlement, www.JPMorganADRFXSettlement.com. The objective of the Plan is to equitably distribute the Net Settlement Fund among as many Settlement Class Members as possible. The Plan is based on Plaintiffs' view of the average annual margin per ADR that JPM retained on FX conversions of ADR dividends and cash distributions as determined by Plaintiffs' damages expert. JPM produced data concerning the amount (if any) it retained for dividends and cash distributions issued for (1) the securities listed in Appendix 1 hereto (including any predecessor or successor securities) between November 21, 2010 and December 31, 2016, inclusive and (2) the securities listed in Appendix 2 hereto (including any predecessor or successor securities) between November 21, 2012 and December 31, 2016, inclusive. Utilizing this data, Plaintiffs' damages expert calculated the average annual margin per ADR for each year from 2010 to 2016 and extrapolated the margins for 2017 and 2018 based on the overall average margin per ADR. 3 JPM does not concede the accuracy of Plaintiffs' damages expert's calculation, or that there were any damages. The Plan is intended to be generally consistent with an assessment of, among other things, the damages that Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel believe could have been recovered for the claims asserted in the Litigation, and reflect Plaintiffs' allegations that over the course of the relevant time period, JPM, as depositary bank for the issuance of ADRs, systematically deducted impermissible fees for conducting FX from dividends and/or cash distributions issued by foreign companies, and owed to ADR holders. To the extent there are sufficient funds in the Net Settlement Fund, each Authorized Recipient will receive an amount equal to that Settlement Class Member's "Recognized Claim," as described below. If, however, as expected, the amount in the Net Settlement Fund is not sufficient to permit payment of the total Recognized Claim of each Authorized Recipient, then each Authorized Recipient shall be paid the percentage of the Net Settlement Fund that each Authorized Recipient's Recognized Claim bears to the total of the Recognized Claims of all Authorized Recipients - i.e., the Authorized Recipient's pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund. In no event shall the Plan result in the payment of more than 100% of a Settlement Class Member's alleged damages (inclusive of alleged interest), as calculated by the methodology set forth by G. William Brown, Jr. in his expert report dated March 5, 2018 (the "Calculated Damages"). To the extent the Plan would result in the payment of more than 100% of a Settlement Class Member's Calculated Damages, any amount in excess of 100% of the Calculated Damages (the "Excess Amount") shall be reallocated to other Authorized Recipients. To the extent all Authorized Recipients have received 100% of their Calculated Damages, any Excess Amount shall be contributed to a nonsectarian charitable organization selected by the Court upon application by the Settling Parties, as discussed below. A. Calculation of Recognized Claims Individuals and entities are potentially eligible to participate in the Settlement and the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund if they held (directly or indirectly, registered or beneficially) or otherwise claim any entitlement to any payment (whether a dividend, rights offering, interest on capital, sale of shares or other distribution) in connection with (1) the securities I isted in Appendix 1 hereto (including any predecessor or successor securities) from November 21, 2010 to July 18, 2018, inclusive or (2) the securities listed in Appendix 2 hereto (including any predecessor or successor securities) from November 21, 2012 to July 18, 2018, inclusive. A "Recognized Loss Amount Per ADR Per Year" will be calculated according to the formula set forth below for each eligible ADR a Settlement Class Member held during the relevant time period and for which they received a dividend and/or cash distribution. A Settlement Class Member's "Recognized Claim" shall be the sum of his, her or its Recognized Loss Amounts Per ADR Per Year. 3 In the case of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. ("Chunghwa"), JPM produced data concerning the amount (if any) it retained for dividends and cash distributions between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2016. For Chunghwa, Plaintiffs' damages expert calculated the average annual margin per ADR for each year from 2013 to 2016 and extrapolated margins for the remaining years based on the overall average margin he calculated for Chunghwa. JPM does not concede the accuracy of Plaintiffs' damages expert's calculation, or that there were any damages. 13 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-1 Filed 06/20/19 Page 28 of 41 The formula for calculating a Settlement Class Member's Recognized Loss Amount Per ADR Per Year shall be as follows: Gross Amount of Dividends and Cash Calculated Average Margin for Distributions Received by the X ADR ("Margin") Per Year set Settlement Class Member for that forth in Table 1 below ADR Per Year ,......

Distribution to Authorized Recipients Prior to the Effective Date, the Settlement Fund shall remain in an interest-bearing escrow account, except as otherwise provided in the Stipulation. After the Court enters the Judgment and the Settlement becomes Final, the Claims Administrator shall distribute the Net Settlement Fund, which shall be done as promptly as possible pursuant to the Class Distribution Order. The Class Distribution Order shall not authorize payments to Authorized Recipients prior to the Effective Date. C. Additional Provisions As noted above, the Net Settlement Fund will be distributed to Authorized Recipients on a pro rata basis based on the relative size of their Recognized Claims. Specifically, a "Distribution Amount" will be calculated for each Authorized Recipient, which shall be the Authorized Recipient's Recognized Claim divided by the total Recognized Claims of all Authorized Recipients, multiplied by the total amount in the Net Settlement Fund. If an Authorized Recipient's Distribution Amount calculates to less than $1.00, it will not be included in the calculation and no distribution will be made to such Authorized Recipient. After the initial distribution of the Net Settlement Fund, the Claims Administrator shall make reasonable and diligent efforts to have Authorized Recipients cash their distribution checks. To the extent any monies remain in the fund nine (9) months after the initial distribution, if Lead Counsel, in consultation with the Claims Administrator, determines that it is cost effective to do so, the Claims Administrator shall conduct a re-distribution of the funds remaining after payment of any unpaid fees and expenses incurred in administering the Settlement, including for such re-distribution, to Authorized Recipients who have cashed their initial distributions and who wou!d receive at !east $1.00 from such re-distribution. Additional re-distributions to Authorized Recipients who have cashed their prior checks and who would receive at least $1.00 on such additional re distributions may occur thereafter if Lead Counsel, in consultation with the Claims Administrator, determines that additional re distributions, after the deduction of any additional fees and expenses incurred in administering the Settlement, including for such re-distributions, would be cost-effective. At such time as it is determined that the re-distribution of funds remaining in the Net Settlement Fund is not cost-effective, Lead Counsel shall seek an order from the Court: (i) approving the recommendation that any further re-distribution is not cost effective or efficient; and (ii) ordering the contribution of the Net Settlement Fund to a nonsectarian charitable organization selected by the Court upon application by the Settling Parties. Payment pursuant to the Plan of Allocation, or such other plan of allocation as may be approved by the Court, shall be conclusive against all Authorized Recipients. No Person shall have any claim against Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs' counsel, Plaintiffs' damages expert, Defendant, Defendant's Counsel, or any of the other Released Plaintiff Parties or Released Defendant Parties, or the Claims Administrator or other agent designated by Lead Counsel arising from distributions made substantially in accordance with the Stipulation, the Plan of Allocation approved by the Court, or further Orders of the Court. Plaintiff, Defendant, and their respective counsel, and all other Released Defendant Parties, shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the investment or distribution of the Settlemt:nl Fund ur the Net Settlement Ftmrl; the Pl;::in of Allocation; the determination, administration, calculation, or payment of any Claim or nonperformance of the Claims Administrator; the payment or withholding of Taxes and Tax Expenses; or any losses incurred in connection therewith. 16 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-1 Filed 06/20/19 Page 31 of 41 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-1 Filed 06/20/19 Page 32 of 41 JPMorgan ADR FX Settlement c/o KCC Class Action Services P.O.

By signing and submitting this Claim Form, you will be certifying that you have read and that you understand the Notice, including the terms of the Releases described therein and provided for herein. 2.

Those Settlement Class Members who hold (or held) their eligible ADRs directly and are listed on the records of JPM's transfer agent (i.e., Registered Holder Settlement Class Members) do not need to submit a Claim Form in order to be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement. Registered Holder Settlement Class Members should receive/should have received a Postcard Notice in the mail.

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., Defendant. DECLARATION OF JEANNE C. FINEGAN, APR CONCERNING IMPLEMENTATION OF NOTICE TO SETTLEMENT CLASS MEMBERS THROUGH MULTI-MEDIA NOTICE PROGRAM INTRODUCTION 1. I am President and Chief Media Officer of HF Media, LLC ("HF Media"), a division of Heffler Claims Group LLC ("Heffler"). This Declaration is based upon my personal knowledge as well as information provided to me by my associates and staff, including information reasonably relied upon in the fields of advertising media and communications. 2. Pursuant to the Order Approving Modifications to Notice Plan and Schedule for Approval of Settlement dated March 25, 2019 ("Notice Modification Order"), ECF No. 118, the Court authorized Lead Counsel to retain my firm, HF Media, to supervise and administer the multi-media notice program in connection with the proposed Settlement of the above-captioned action ("Multi- Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-2 Filed 06/20/19 Page 3 of 141 Media Notice Program"). 1 3. I submit this Declaration in order to provide the Court and the parties to the Litigation a report regarding the successful implementation of the Multi-Media Notice Program, i.e., the portion of the Court-approved notice program for the Settlement conducted via print, online and social media, as well as the overall reach as it relates specifically to the Multi-Media Notice Program. 4. As described more fully below, the Multi-Media Notice Program has been successfully and timely implemented. Importantly, the Multi-Media Notice Program includes virtually all the same elements as the notice program recently approved in the analogous case In re: The Bank of New York Mellon ADR FX Litigation, 16-CV-00212-JPO-JLC (S.D.N.Y.). In fact, the Mutli Media Notice Program here includes an additional element - the WIFI/IP address targeting - detailed in ,i,i 36-37 below. 5. In compliance with the Court's Notice Modification Order, the Multi-Media Notice Program commenced on April 4, 2019 and will be completed on June 21, 2019. I will submit a supplemental declaration to the Court with Plaintiffs' reply submission on or before August 1, 2019 to report on the final results of the Multi-Media Notice Program. 6. The Multi-Media Notice Program has consisted of media, including print, specifically targeted Internet banner ads and social media. The Multi-Media Notice Program, as implemented to date, has exceeded our original projections and has reached: • 94% of stock owners over the age of 35 with a household income ("HHI") of $150k+ (with an average frequency of 11 times); • 89% of stock owners over the age of35 with a HHI of $100k+ (with an average frequency of 6 times); and • 85% of stock owners, regardless of age or income (with an average frequency of 9 times).2 1 All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Notice Modification Order. 2 As set forth in my Declaration previously filed with the Court on January 31, 2019 (ECF No. 115-2), I estimated that: (1) 91% of stock owners over 35 with a HHI of$150k+ would be reached, on average, 6 times; (2) 87% of stock owners over the age of35 with a HHI of$ lO0k+ would be reached, on average, 4.2 times; and (3) 83% of stock owners, regardless of age or income, would be reached, on average, 4 times. 2 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-2 Filed 06/20/19 Page 4 of 141 7. Importantly, the successful implementation of the Multi-Media Notice Program is underscored by Settlement Class Member response, where as of June 20, 2019, the Settlement websites received over 79,000 user sessions3 with 103,000 page views.4 (See ,i 47 below). QUALIFICATIONS 8. A comprehensive description of my credentials and experience that qualify me to provide an expert opinion on the adequacy of the class action notice program in this matter was included in my Declaration previously filed with this Court on November 1, 2018 (ECF No. 106-5) ("November Declaration"). In summary, I have served as an expert directly responsible for the design and implementation of hundreds of class action notice programs, including Federal Trade Commission Enforcement actions, some of which are the largest and most complex programs ever implemented in both the United States and in Canada. 9. I was extensively involved as a lead author for "Guidelines and Best Practices Implementing 2018 Amendments to Rule 23 Class Action Settlement Provisions" published by Duke University School of Law. Also, I am a member of the Board of Directors for the Alliance for Audited Media. 10. My work includes a wide range of class actions and regulatory and consumer matters, including product liability, construction defect, antitrust, asbestos, medical, pharmaceutical, human rights, civil rights, telecommunications, media, environmental, securities, banking, insurance and bankruptcy. 11. In evaluating the adequacy and effectiveness of my notice programs, courts have repeatedly recognized my work as an expert. For example, in: Carter v Forjas Taurus S.S., Taurus International Manufacturing, Inc., Case No. 1: l 3- CV-24583 PAS (S.D. Fla. 2016), the Honorable Patricia Seitz, in her Final Order and Judgment Granting Plaintiffs' Motion for Final Approval of Class Action Settlement, dated July 22, 2016, stated: 3 These figures are inclusive of web traffic to both the http://www.adrfxsettlement.com/ (JPM) landing page and the settlement website http://www.jpmorganadrfxsettlement.com/ 4 This user statistic, provided to me by Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC ("KCC"), includes only JPM users on the www.adrfxsettlement.com landing page and users who specifically typed in the www.jpmorganadrfxsettlement.com website address prominently displayed in the Summary Notice published in magazines and newspapers. 3 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-2 Filed 06/20/19 Page 5 of 141 "The Court considered the extensive experience of Jeanne C. Finegan and the notice program she developed. ... There is no national firearms registry and Taurus sale records do not provide names and addresses ofthe ultimate purchasers ... Thus the form and method used for notifying Class Members of the terms uf the Settlement was the best notice practicable . ... The court-approved notice plan used peer-accepted national research to identify the optimal traditional, online, mobile and social media platforms to reach the Settlement Class Members. " Additionally, in the January 20, 2016, Transcript of Class Notice Hearing, p. 5, Judge Seitz stated: "I would like to compliment Ms. Finegan and her company because I was quite impressed with the scope and the effort of communicating with the Class. " 12. In Re: Blue Buffalo Company, Ltd., Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation, Case No. 4:14-MD-2562 RWS (E.D. Mo. 2015), the Honorable Rodney Sippel, during the hearing for final approval of the settlement (Hearing for Final Approval, May 19, 2016 transcript p. 49), said: "It is my finding that notice was sufficiently provided to class members in the manner directed in my preliminary approval order and that notice met all applicable requirements of due process and any other applicable law and considerations. " 13. A comprehensive description ofmy credentials is attached as Exhibit A. NOTICE PROGRAM SUMMARY 14. In accordance with the Court's Preliminary Approval Order and Notice Modification Order, the notice program for this matter included the following components: • Direct Mail via Postcard Notice to all Registered Holder Settlement Class Members listed in the records of JPMorgan's transfer agent; • Publication of a short fonn notice (the "Publication Notice" or "Summary Notice") in seven (7) general circulation consumer magazines; • Publication of the Publication Notice two (2) times in three (3) nationally circulated newspapers; • Banner ads in specialty investment e-newsletters; • Online and cross-device display banner advertising specifically targeted to potential Settlement Class Members over a 78-day period, consisting of: 4 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-2 Filed 06/20/19 Page 6 of 141 a. Ads served directly to potential Settlement Class Members with known addresses via cutting-edge WIFI/IP address matching technology; b.

Search words and terms on Google AdWords; d. Social media ads through Facebook, Instagram and Linkedln; e. Transmittal of the Publication Notice in the form of a press release over PR Newswire's USl Newslines with additional targeting to finance influencers; f. An informational Settlement Website on which the long-form Notice and other important Court documents are posted; g. A general ADR FX settlement website developed to serve as a landing page for the online banner ads; and h. A toll-free information line where Settlement Class Members can call 24/7 for more information about the Settlement, including important dates and deadlines, and to request to speak to a live operator during regular business hours. MULTI-MEDIA NOTICE PROGRAM ELEMENTS SUMMARY 15. KCC was retained by Lead Counsel as the Claims Administrator for the Settlement and was responsible for providing mailed notice (via postcard) to the Registered Holder Settlement Class Members identified in JPMorgan's transfer records and establishing the websites and toll free information line. KCC is also responsible for processing the claims received for the Settlement. KCC' s efforts are detailed in the Declaration of Justin Hughes which is being submitted, along with this Declaration, with Plaintiffs' settlement submission. 16. My firm, HF Media, was retained by Lead Counsel pursuant to the Court's Notice Modification Order, to conduct the Multi-Media Notice Program for the Settlement.

Attached as Exhibit Dare copies of the banner ads published in thee-newsletters. MEDIA OUTREACH - INTERNET 33. Internet advertising was a particularly helpful method of providing notice in this case, given that according to MRI, nearly 98 percent of the target audience is online. 34. In total, over 265 million validated online impressions have been served across a whitelist7 of approximately 4,000 pre-vetted websites, multiple exchanges, and the social media platforms Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin. We also used retargeting8 to provide additional reminders for those who expressed interest in the ads. 35. Our media outreach included banner ads on local Business Journal websites and The Wall Street Journal online, as well as top-tier national news and local news websites. Online banner ads have been served across multiple devices including desktop, tablet and mobile devices. 36. Additionally, we served banner ads via WIPI/IP address targeting to a potential Settlement Class Member list consisting of unique address records provided to us by KCC. These address records were provided to KCC by nominees in response to the nominee outreach conducted by KCC early in the notice program. A total of 2,856,595 addresses were contained in the records. 37. The WIFI/IP address targeting was done by mapping those physical addresses to the WIFI/IP address( es) in use at that physical location. If a target location's WIFI/IP address was available, that was considered a "match." Here, we matched 2,171,339 of the 2,856,595 physical addresses received from nominees to WIFI/IP addresses. The same list of physical addresses also was uploaded into Facebook's custom audience tool, allowing us to directly target and serve ads to a Facebook user when they have a Facebook or Instagram account where their address is 7 A whitclist is a custurn list of acceptable websites where ad content may be served. Creating a whitelist helps to mitigate ;id fraud, ensure acfa will be served i11 reltwnnt digital environments to the targl:l audience and helps to ensure that ads will not appear next to offensive or o~jectionable content. 8 Retargeting is an online reminder ad. Here, HF Media served additional ads to people on Facebook and Instagram who engaged with our ads, either by clicking or commenting on them. 8 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-2 Filed 06/20/19 Page 10 of 141 publicly available. 38. The online banner ads utilized in the media outreach provided information for visitors to self-identify as potential Settlement Class Members, allowing them to "click" on the banner ad and link directly to the "landing page" website (www.ADRFXSettlement.com), with a further link to the Settlement Website for more detailed information regarding the Settlement, important dates and deadlines, downloadable copies of the long-form Notice, Claim Form and other relevant documents, and the ability to submit a Claim Form online. 39. To further enhance the Multi-Media Notice Program, HF Media employed Google AdWords keyword search terms. Accordingly, when identified target phrases and keywords were used in a search on Google's search engine, a link to the Settlement website appeared on the search result page. Representative key terms included, but were not limited to: JPMorgan ADR Settlement, ADR Settlement and ADR class action, among others. 40. Attached as Exhibit E are examples of the banner ads. SOCIAL MEDIA 41. The Multi-Media Notice Program also included the social media platforms Facebook, Instagram and Linkedln. On Facebook and Instagram, targeting included those who liked or followed investment pages such as Motley Fool, Investing.com, MarketWatch, Morning Star, Seeking Alpha, The Street, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo! Finance, Bloomberg, Financial Times and others in addition to the potential Settlement Class Member matching described above. On Linkedln, targeting included individuals who are in top management positions in companies with 51 or more employees. 42. Attached as Exhibit F are copies of the social media ads. PRESS RELEASE 43. The Publication Notice was also issued across PR Newswire's USl Newslines with additional targeting to finance influencers on April 4, 2019. My staff and I monitored various media channels for subsequent news articles that mentioned our press release and identified 129 various media pick-ups. 44. Attached as Exhibit G is a copy of the pick-up report. 9 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-2 Filed 06/20/19 Page 11 of 141 MITIGATION OF DIGITAL INVALID TRAFFIC 45. Part of HF Media's active management of the Multi-Media Notice Program included ad fraud (invalid traffic) identification and mitigation. The primary purpose of this is to ensure that our ads were being targeted to real websites where actual (human) Settlement Class Members are likely to visit, rather than serving ads to websites and fraudsters attempting to fraudulently earn advertising revenue from the campaign. To this end, online ads were tagged with specific codes through comScore' s Validated Campaign Essentials9 ("vCE") plus analysis was provided by our independent Cybersecurity Rxpert. Ad logs were examined daily for fraudulent anomalies such as ads being called to data centers, uncommon browser sizes, and outdated browser versions as well as other parameters that indicate non-human traffic. In addition, through these efforts, we wanted to identify which websites were generating validated human click-throughs to the Settlement website and redirect traffic to those sites. Because of our active management tactics, less than one percent (.91 % ) of the online impressions were identified as invalid and this traffic has been culled from the reach reported below. SETTLEMENT WEBSITE AND TOLL-FREE INFORMATION LINE 46. The Court-authorized Claims Administrator, KCC, maintains the Settlement Website. The Settlement Website is an important component of the notice program for the Settlement as it allows Settlement Class Members to get information about the Settlement, obtain a copy of the detailed long-form Notice, and/or submit a Claim Form (in the case of Non-Registered Holder Settlement Class Members) or review their holding and distribution information provided by JPM's transfer agent via the Claim Portal (in the case of Registered Holder Settlement Class Members). 47. The Settlement Website address, www.jpmorganadrfxsettlement.com, was prominently displayed in the Publication Notices, as well as the Postcard Notices mailed to Registered Holder Settlement Class Members. I am informed by KCC that the Settlement Website was optimized for 9 "vCE enables a comprehensive view of online campaign delivery and a verified assessment of ad exposued audiences via a single, third-party source. It provides an unduplicated accounting of impressions delivered across a variety of diementions such as ads delivered in-view, in the right geography, in a brand safe environment, mitigating (to the extent of technology) fraud delivery."

All Publication Notices as well as the Postcard Notices directed recipients to the Settlement Website, www.jpmorganadrfxsetlement.com. All digital media directed recipients to the ADR FX landing page, www.ADRFXsettlement.com. As of June 20, 2019, the Settlement websites received over 79,000 user sessions 10 with 103,000 page views. 48. I am also infom1ed by KCC that, as of June 20, 2019 2019, the IVR has received a total of 10,771 calls. CONCLUSION 49. Evidence for the successful response of this notice program is found in the visitor traffic to the websites and to the call center. In my opinion, the robust outreach efforts described above reflect a particularly appropriate, highly targeted and contemporary way to employ notice to the Settlement Class in this matter, and in particular, the Non-Registered Holder Settlement Class Members who did not receive direct mailed notice. Importantly, these outreach efforts are consistent with the flexibility of notice provided in Rule 23. 50. As noted above, the Multi-Media Notice Program will conclude on June 21, 2019. To date, as a result of the Multi-Media Notice Program detailed above, an estimated 85-94 percent of targeted Settlement Class Members were reached, on average, 6-11 times. In my experience, this is an excellent result. 11 51. Moreover, in my opinion, the efforts used in this Multi-Media Notice Program were of the highest modem communication standards, embraced by FRCP Rule 23, and were reasonably calculated to provide notice that is not only consistent, but exceeds best practicable court approved notice programs in similar matters which are consistent with the Federal Judicial Center's guidelines concerning appropriate reach. 10 These figures are inclusive of web traffic to both websites. 11 While I do not believe these results will change prior to June 21, 2019, I will submit a supplemental declaration with the Court on or before August 1, 2019 that will report on the final results of the Multi Media Notice Program. 11 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-2 Filed 06/20/19 Page 13 of 141 52.

View in web browser, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. MARKETS Welcome to May. Amrith Ramkumar here, getting you ready for what should be a busy Wednesday in U.S. markets. Apple shares are surging premarket following the iPhone maker's earnings_ results, a day after stocks closed out their best four-month stretch to start a y:ear since at least 1999. Stock futures are rising early this morning. Investors are weighing just-released results from CVS Health and a host of other companies, with Qualcomm headlining the group reporting after the market closes. We're also awaiting the latest comments from the Federal Reserve, due out at 2 p.m. ET. Plus, our Paul Davies and Avantika Chilkoti take a look at the reasons behind the trading lull that has settled over European stocks.

As with markets in the U.S. and elsewhere, this very stability could be a dangerous thing for investors desperately hunting for returns. One illustration of the quiet: The Stoxx Europe 600 index of leading European shares set a new record for apparent investor apathy on Tuesday, with the 17th consecutive trading session when its price has moved by less than 0.5%. The last longest streak of such little variation was 16 straight days ending in May 1993. This is part of a broader, multi-country pattern in financial markets rlriven by the near uniform turnround in the attitude of major central banks, led by the Federal Reserve, which is expected to retain its supportive policies toward investors and the economy in its policy statement Wednesday. Central banks "seem to think their job at the moment is to suppress volatility to encourage risk-taking," said James Athey, senior investment manager at Aberdeen Standard Investments. He said there are few sellers in equities, government debt or corporate bonds. "Who's going to take the other side of the trade, because you're fighting the Fed'?" But just as in previous periods of calm, investors who trade options are hunting for yield by s~lling insura...,n.c.e_i;i,gainst futur~pxii::.e moves, which is a great source of extra income so long as markets stay quiet. But it can become a source of painful losses when sentiment turns-as it did last December and before that in February 2018. In December's volatility shock, French bank BNP Paribas §..l)ffered losses big enough in its equity derivatives business to drag down its fourth-quarter results. And last February, an even bigger spike caused turmoil among exchange-traded funds that beL against a rise in volatility, leading Credit Suisse to liguidate its 12opularVelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term Exchange-Traded Note. Sebastien Galy, senior macro strategist at Nordea Asset Management, said similar yield hunting can be seen in another big build up of investors selling market insurance against large-scale price moves in several asset classes. Page 3 of 9 Case 1:15-cv-09188-VEC Document 125-2 Filed 06/20/19 Page 70 of 141 The effects of this in U.S. and European stocks can be seen in the extren1ely low levels of the volatility indexes and investment products tied to them. The VIX, which measures expected swings in the S&P 500, is at its lowest level since early October, while the VDAX, a popular European alternative that measures volatility in Germany's DAX index, is at its lowest since January 2018. "Investors are betting on range trading, on non-events, and the way to do this is generally to bet against volatility," Mr. Galy said. "Everyone thinks this isn't going to end well but then they keep doing it anyway." For a longer version of this article online, click here. Are you concerned about the quiet in European stocks?
