Current Contact Info - Maximize our ability to contact you by providing your full name, address, phone number and email address. Also, please remember to notify us of your new address if you move.

Social Security Number/Tax ID Number - Provide an accurate Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number (if requested), as failure to do so may delay the verification of your claim or result in the rejection of your claim.

Beneficial Ownership - Be aware of the difference between a "beneficial owner" and a "record purchaser." If you purchased or otherwise acquired a common stock/security and held the certificate in your name, you are the beneficial owner as well as the record purchaser. If, however, you purchased or otherwise acquired a common stock/security and the certificate was registered in the name of a third party (such as a nominee or brokerage firm) you are the beneficial owner and the third party is the record purchaser. While this issue is specific to Securities matters, it is critical to pay particular attention to the name/contact information requested on all Proof of Claim forms.

Complete Data - Provide all requested information with respect to all of your transactions or other relevant activity during the specified time period. Should you need additional space to provide all of the requested information, please make copies as necessary of the appropriate section(s) of the Proof of Claim, and initial each additional page submitted.

Supporting Documentation - Include all necessary documentation to substantiate your claim. If you are uncertain what documentation is required, please consult your Proof of Claim instructions or forward your question to us at classact@gilardi.com. Please note that in connection with Securities matters, we do not accept original stock certificates as adequate supporting documentation.

Signature - Always sign your claim form. Claims must be signed and filed by the actual claimant/beneficial owner, or an authorized legal representative. Executors, administrators, guardians, conservators and trustees may complete and sign a Proof of Claim on behalf of their client(s), but adequate evidence of the representative's authority to complete the claim must be provided

Maintain Records - Keep a copy of your claim form and supporting documentation for your records.

Delivery Method - To ensure that your claim is actually received by our offices, send it via Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested.

Timing - Be patient. It takes a substantial amount of time to fully process (and investigate as necessary) all of the proofs of claim we receive and to effectively administer a settlement. Please understand that a proof of claim form is generally designed to provide the minimum amount of information necessary for us to process most claims, but we may need to request additional information from you.
