WHEREAS, on January 8, 2014, this Court entered its Order Granting Class Certification 

and Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement with the Hitachi Defendants (Dkt. No. 

2311) (“Hitachi Preliminary Approval Order”), which granted certification of a Direct Purchaser 

Plaintiff (“DPP”) class and preliminary approval of DPPs’ settlement with Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi 

Displays, Ltd. (n/k/a Japan Display Inc.), Hitachi Asia, Ltd., Hitachi America, Ltd., and Hitachi 

Electronic Devices (USA), Inc. (collectively “Hitachi”); 

WHEREAS, the Hitachi Preliminary Approval Order set deadlines for, inter alia, notice 

of the settlement to the class, objections, and requests for exclusions; 

WHEREAS, DPPs have recently reached a settlement with Samsung SDI Co. Ltd. (f/k/a 

Samsung Display Devices Co., Ltd.); Samsung SDI America, Inc.; Samsung SDI Brasil, Ltd.; (4) 

Tianjin Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.; Samsung Shenzhen SDI Co., Ltd.; SDI Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.; and 

SDI Mexico S.A. de C.V. (collectively, “Samsung SDI”); 

WHEREAS, the Settlement Agreement with Hitachi (which has been preliminarily 

approved by this Court) states in paragraph 19(b) that “If Lead Counsel enters into any other 

settlements on behalf of the Class before notice of this Agreement is given to the Class, Lead 

Counsel shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide a single notice to prospective Class 

members of all of the settlements”; 

WHEREAS, all parties believe it would further judicial efficiency and would save the 

class a significant amount of money to provide notice of both settlements in a single notice, and 

proceed on a joint briefing and hearing schedule; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the DPPs and 

counsel for Hitachi in the above-captioned actions, as follows: 

(1) All deadlines set forth in the Hitachi Preliminary Approval Order are vacated; and 

(2) DPPs and Samsung SDI will move for preliminary approval of the settlement 

between DPPs and Samsung SDI at the earliest practical time, at which time a joint 

schedule for both the Hitachi and Samsung SDI settlements can be set. 

The undersigned Parties jointly and respectfully request that the Court enter this 

stipulation as an order.
