Supermarkets General Holdings Corporation, et al., C.A. No. 17047 (the "Action") agreed to settle the Action pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding dated May 19, 1999. Thereafter, the parties executed a definitive settlement agreement that was submitted to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the "Court") for approval.

At the hearing, the Court certified the class and approved the settlement and the fee application."
