For the purpose of the distribution, eligible LCD purchases will be calculated based on: (i) the value of the LCD Panels and LCD Products purchased; (ii) the relative value of the LCD Panel within an LCD Product; and (iii) the categorization of settlement class members.

i. Value of the Product Purchased

Claimants may provide proof of purchase indicating the dollar value of their LCD Panel and/or LCD Product purchases. Where a claimant does not provide proof of purchase, the following values will be assigned:

LCD panels - $560

LCD televisions - $1,500

LCD monitors - $700

LCD notebook computers - $2,250

ii. Relative Value of the LCD Panel

For the purpose of calculating payment of settlement benefits, the following values will be applied:

LCD Panels – 100% of the LCD Panel purchases

LCD televisions – 40% of the LCD Product purchases

LCD monitors – 80% of the LCD Product purchases

LCD notebook computers – 15% of the LCD Product purchases

These values take into account the relative value of the LCD Panel in relation to the total value of the LCD Product.

iii. Categorization of settlement class members

Settlement class members can be categorized into one of four purchaser groups depending on from whom the product was purchased and the purpose for which the product was purchased.

The purchaser groups are as follows:

Direct Purchaser End User: means a Settlement Class Member in respect of purchases of LCD Panels and/or LCD Products for its own use and not for commercial resale direct from a defendant or an entity related to a defendant or where the purchase price of the LCD Panels and/or LCD Products was negotiated directly with a defendant or an entity related to a Defendant. Purchases will be calculated based on 100% of eligible LCD Panel and/or LCD Product purchases.

means a Settlement Class Member in respect of purchases of LCD Panels and/or LCD Products for its own use and not for commercial resale direct from a defendant or an entity related to a defendant or where the purchase price of the LCD Panels and/or LCD Products was negotiated directly with a defendant or an entity related to a Defendant. Purchases will be calculated based on 100% of eligible LCD Panel and/or LCD Product purchases. Indirect Purchaser End User: means a Settlement Class Member in respect of purchases of LCD Panels and/or LCD Products for its own use and not for commercial resale, other than a Direct Purchaser End User. Purchases will be calculated based on 80% of the eligible LCD Panel and/or LCD Product purchases.

means a Settlement Class Member in respect of purchases of LCD Panels and/or LCD Products for its own use and not for commercial resale, other than a Direct Purchaser End User. Purchases will be calculated based on 80% of the eligible LCD Panel and/or LCD Product purchases. Direct Purchaser Reseller: means a Settlement Class Member in respect of purchases of LCD Panels and/or LCD Products for commercial resale direct from a defendant or an entity related to a defendant or where the purchase price of the LCD Panels and/or LCD Products was negotiated directly with a defendant or an entity related to a defendant. Purchases will be calculated based on 25% of the eligible LCD Panel and/or LCD Product purchases.

means a Settlement Class Member in respect of purchases of LCD Panels and/or LCD Products for commercial resale direct from a defendant or an entity related to a defendant or where the purchase price of the LCD Panels and/or LCD Products was negotiated directly with a defendant or an entity related to a defendant. Purchases will be calculated based on 25% of the eligible LCD Panel and/or LCD Product purchases. Indirect Purchaser Reseller: means a Settlement Class Member in respect of purchases of LCD Panels and/or LCD Products for commercial resale, other than a Direct Purchaser Reseller. Purchases will be calculated based on 15% of the eligible LCD Panel and/or LCD Product purchases.

Settlement class members can fall within multiple purchaser groups. For example, a retailer might purchase LCD monitors for resale and for use by employees. Assuming the retailer purchased directly from a defendant, the retailer would qualify as a Direct Purchaser Reseller for the LCD monitors that are purchased for resale and a Direct Purchaser End User for the LCD monitors purchased for use by employees.

iv. Sample Calculations

Sample 1: If an Indirect Purchaser End User purchased an LCD television valued at $2,000, its eligible LCD purchases for the purpose of determining its prorata share of the Net Settlement Amount would be calculated as follows:

$2,000 x .40 (representing the product purchased) x .80 (representing the categorization of the settlement class member) = $640.

Sample 2: If a Direct Purchaser Reseller purchased LCD notebook computers valued at $1,000,000 and LCD monitors valued at $2,000,000, its eligible LCD purchases for the purpose of determining its prorata share of the Net Settlement Amount would be calculated as follows:

LCD notebook computers: $1,000,000 x .15 (representing the product purchased) x. 25 (representing the categorization of the settlement class member) = $37,500

LCD monitors: $2,000,000 x .8 (representing the product purchased) x .25 (representing the categorization of the settlement class member) = $400,000

Total: $437,500

These numbers do not reflect the actual amount to be paid to settlement class members, but rather the value of their eligible LCD purchases for the purpose of determining their prorata share in the Net Settlement Funds.

v. Minimum payments

Notwithstanding the above, New Claimants with valid claims will receive a minimum payment of $20. If the New Claimant’s prorata entitlement is less than $20, the New Claimant will have to account for that fact in any further distribution.

If the further prorata distribution would result in payments of $10-$19.99 to an Original Claimant, the payment will be increased to $20. The Original Claimant will have to account for the fact that their claim was increased beyond their prorata entitlement in any subsequent distribution.

If the further prorata distribution would result in payments of less than $10 to an Original Claimant, no additional payment will be issued to the Original Claimant. Regard will be given in any subsequent distribution to the fact that the Original Claimant did not receive payment in this distribution.
