DRAM antitrust lawsuit settlement

Class Actions are pending against certain manufacturers of DRAM. In the Class Actions, plaintiffs allege that defendants unlawfully agreed to fix, raise, maintain and stabilize the prices of DRAM and/or to allocate among themselves major customers and accounts in violation of the federal antitrust laws during the period of April 1, 1999 through June 30, 2002. Plaintiffs allege that, as a result of defendants' unlawful conduct, they and members of the Class paid more for DRAM than they would have in the absence of defendants' wrongful conduct. Defendants deny plaintiffs' allegations and have asserted numerous affirmative defenses. On June 5, 2006, the Court certified the Class described above.

This notice is given pursuant to the Federal Rules of Procedure and an Order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California to inform Class Members that, in exchange for the release of claims by Settlement Class members against the defendants who have settled, three separate proposed settlements have been reached with: (i) Infineon Technologies AG and Infineon Technologies North American Corp.; (ii) Samsung Semiconductor, Inc.; and (iii) Hynix Semiconductor Inc. and Hynix Semiconductor America, Inc. For a list of other defendants in this Action, please see the Notice.
