STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

CONTINUING CMC, CASE NO.: 08-cv-03123-JF - 1 - 

Plaintiffs Martin Vogel and Kenneth Mahoney (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendants Apple 

Inc. (“Apple”), Fred D. Anderson, Nancy R. Heinen, Steven P. Jobs, William V. Campbell, 

Millard S. Drexler, Arthur D. Levinson, and Jerome B. York (collectively, the 

“Defendants”) hereby stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, on August 24, 2006, Plaintiffs filed a class action complaint before this 

Court alleging that certain defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

“Exchange Act”), including § 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and § 20(a). That action was 

entitled Martin Vogel and Kenneth Mahoney v. Steven Jobs, et al., Case No. 5:06-cv-05208-JF 

(N.D. Cal.) (the “Apple Backdating Action No. 1”), and concerning alleged practice of issuing 

backdating stock options; 

WHEREAS, on October 24, 2006, New York City Employees' Retirement System 

(“NYCERS”) moved for their appointment as Lead Plaintiff of the Apple Backdating Action No. 

1 pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4; 

WHEREAS, on January 19, 2007, this Court appointed NYCERS as Lead Plaintiff of that 

litigation; 

WHEREAS, on March 23, 2007, NYCERS filed, as Lead Plaintiff, its Consolidated 

Complaint and asserted claims under §§ 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and the common 

law duty of disclosure. The Consolidated Complaint did not assert any claims for Defendants’ 

alleged violations of §10(b) of the Exchange Act; 

WHEREAS, on November 14, 2007, this Court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss the 

Consolidated Complaint on the ground, inter alia, that NYCERS failed to plead standing to bring 

a direct claim (“Dismissal Order”); 

WHEREAS, this Court granted NYCERS leave to amend its complaint but held that 

NYCERS could only amend for the purpose of attempting to plead a derivative claim, not a direct 

class action claim; 

WHEREAS, on December 14, 2007, NYCERS filed a motion for leave to file a First 

Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint that contained direct class action claims for 

alleged violations of § 10(b) of the Exchange Act;

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

CONTINUING CMC, CASE NO.: 08-cv-03123-JF - 2 - 

WHEREAS, on May 14, 2008, this Court denied NYCERS’s motion for leave to file an 

amended complaint (“Denial Order”); 

WHEREAS, on June 12, 2008, this Court entered Judgment for defendants (“Judgment”); 

WHEREAS, on June 17, 2008, NYCERS filed its Notice of Appeal of the Dismissal 

Order, the Denial Order and subsequent Judgment (“NYCERS’s Appeal”); 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs filed this action (“Apple Backdating Action No. 2”) on June 27, 

2008, alleging that Defendants violated § 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder 

and § 20(a) of the Exchange Act by, inter alia, issuing backdated stock options to themselves and 

other Apple employees; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Defendants agreed that if this litigation were to go forward 

prior to resolution of NYCERS’s appeal(s) of the Apple Backdating Action No. 1, there was a 

risk of duplicative litigation regarding Defendants’ alleged backdating and alleged violations of 

the Exchange Act, and that this risk could result in a waste of judicial resources; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, on July 22, 2008, this Court entered an 

Order staying this action pending the resolution of NYCERS’s Appeal; 

WHEREAS, on March 10, 2009, this Court continued the Case Management Conference 

set for March 6, 2009, to September 4, 2009, at 10:30 a.m.; 

WHEREAS, on September 3, 2009, this Court continued the Case Management 

Conference set for September 4, 2009, to January 8, 2010, at 10:30 a.m.; 

WHEREAS, the Ninth Circuit heard oral argument in NYCERS’s Appeal on October 7, 

2009, and took the matter under submission; 

WHEREAS, the Ninth Circuit has not yet issued a ruling on NYCERS’s Appeal; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Defendants agree that it would be premature and a waste of 

judicial resources to hold the status conference prior to the Ninth Circuit’s ruling on NYCERS’s 

Appeal;
