the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, Department

determine whether: (1) the proposed settlement (the “Settlement”)
of the above-captioned action as set forth in the Stipulation of
Settlement (“Stipulation”)2 for $9,500,000.00 in cash should be
approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (2) the
Judgment as provided under the Stipulation should be entered; (3)

This Action is a consolidated securities class action brought on
behalf of those Persons who purchased or acquired Menlo common
stock pursuant or traceable to the Registration Statement and
Prospectus for Menlo’s IPO, against Menlo and certain of its
officers, directors, and underwriters of Menlo’s IPO (collectively,
“Defendants”) for, among other things, allegedly misstating and
omitting material facts from the Registration Statement and
Prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
in connection with the IPO. Plaintiffs allege that these
purportedly false and misleading statements inflated the price of
the Company’s stock, resulting in damage to Class Members when the
truth was revealed. Defendants deny all of Plaintiffs’
allegations.
