Case No. C 07-03332 PJH -1- STIPULATION & [PROPOSED] ORDER 

The parties, by their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate to the following: 

WHEREAS, the above-captioned action purports to be a class action filed on behalf of 

Plaintiff Thomas Mykityshyn and all others similarly situated against VeriSign, Inc. (“VeriSign” 

or “Company”) and certain of its current and former directors and officers; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a Complaint for Breach of Fiduciary Duty on May 15, 2007 in 

the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara (“Action”) and served it on 

VeriSign on or about May 25, 2007; 

WHEREAS, VeriSign removed this Action to the United Stated District Court for the 

Northern District of California on June 25, 2007; 

WHEREAS, on or about June 19, 2007, a complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the 

State of California, County of Santa Clara, captioned Pace v. Bidzos, et al. (“Pace Action”). On 

July 19, 2007, VeriSign removed the Pace Action to the United States District Court for the 

Northern District of California, and also filed a Notice of Related Case requesting that the Pace 

Action be related with the above-captioned Action. Pursuant to Northern District Local Rules 3-

12 and 7-11, VeriSign also filed an Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Cases Should be 

Related. No order has yet been issued on that request and the Pace Action is still pending before 

the Honorable Ronald M. Whyte under the caption Pace v. Bidzos, et al., 07-CV-03742-RMW. 

The plaintiff in the Pace Action filed and served a Motion to Remand Action Pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1447 for Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction with a scheduled hearing date of August 

31, 2007; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff also filed and served a Motion to Remand Action Pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1447 for Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction in this Action (“Motion to Remand”) on or 

about July 25, 2007, and noticed a hearing on that motion for August 29, 2007; and 

WHEREAS, due to scheduling issues as more fully described in the Declaration of Oleg 

Cross filed and served herewith, the parties have agreed to re-schedule the hearing date on the 

Motion to Remand and to set a mutually acceptable briefing schedule. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate to the following:
