Counsel for the Settlement Class1(“Class Counsel”) provided adequate Notice of the Fee and Expense Application to the potential class members in a reasonable manner, and such Notice complies with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 23(h)(1) and due process. The Notice

provided to all potential class members stated that Class Counsel could seek attorneys’ fees and costs up to 1/3 of the Settlement Fund, and further directed Settlement Class Members to a website on which the full Motion was accessible one day following filing.

appropriate pursuant to Goldberger v. Integrated Res., Inc.,

(2d Cir. 2000), and applicable case law. The Court analyzed each Goldberger factor in detail at the August 4, 2025 Final Approval Hearing, and incorporates those findings by reference. 5.

Class Counsel have prosecuted the litigation with skill, perseverance, and diligence, as reflected by the Settlement Fund achieved and the positive reception of the Settlement Agreement by the Settlement Class;

e. This Litigation involved complex factual and legal issues that were extensively researched and developed by Class Counsel; f.

Public policy considerations support the requested fees; and h. The amount of attorneys’ fees awarded and expenses reimbursed is appropriate to the specific circumstances of this Litigation.

This incentive award is justified by: (1) the risks Class Representative Plaintiff faced in bringing this lawsuit, financial and otherwise; (2) the amount of time and effort spent on this Litigation by the Class Representative Plaintiff; and (3) the benefits the Class Representative Plaintiffs helped obtain for the Settlement Class Members under the Settlement Agreement.
