B. CLAIMANT IDENTIFICATION
You are a member of the Settlement Class if you (i) purchased Golden Heaven Group Holdings Ltd.’s (“Golden Heaven” or the “Company”) ordinary shares (“Golden Heaven Stock”) pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement issued in connection with Golden Heaven’s initial public offering conducted on or about April 12, 2023 (“IPO”); or (ii) purchased or otherwise acquired Golden Heaven Stock between April 13, 2023 and December 8, 2023, inclusive (“Settlement Class Period”), and you could get a payment from a proposed class action settlement (the “Settlement”), unless you are an excluded party under the terms of the Stipulation.
Use Part I of this form entitled “Claimant Information” to identify each purchaser or acquirer of record (“nominee”) of the Golden Heaven Stock that forms the basis of this claim. THIS CLAIM MUST BE FILED BY THE ACTUAL BENEFICIAL PURCHASER(S) OR ACQUIRER(S) OF THE GOLDEN HEAVEN STOCK UPON WHICH THIS CLAIM IS BASED, OR BY THEIR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE.
Separate Proofs of Claim should be submitted for each separate legal entity (
e.g., a claim from joint owners should not include separate transactions of just one of the joint owners, and an individual should not combine his or her IRA transactions with transactions made solely in the individual’s name). Conversely, a single Proof of Claim should be submitted on behalf of one legal entity and should include all transactions made by that entity on one Proof of Claim, no matter how many separate accounts that entity has (
e.g., a corporation with multiple brokerage accounts should include all transactions made in all accounts on one Proof of Claim).
All joint purchasers or acquirers must sign this Proof of Claim. Executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, and trustees must complete and sign this Proof of Claim on behalf of persons represented by them and their evidence of authority must accompany this Proof of Claim and their titles or capacities must be stated. The Social Security (or taxpayer identification) number and telephone number of the beneficial owner may be used in verifying the claim. Failure to provide the foregoing information could delay verification of your claim or result in rejection of the claim.
C. PROOF OF CLAIM
Use Part II of this form entitled “Schedule of Transactions in Golden Heaven Stock” to supply all required details of your transaction(s) (including free transfers and deliveries) in, and holdings of Golden Heaven Stock.
On this schedule, provide all of the requested information with respect to your holdings, purchases, acquisitions, sales, and disposition of Golden Heaven Stock, whether such transactions resulted in a profit or a loss. Only Golden Heaven Stock purchased pursuant to Golden Heaven’s initial public offering on or around April 12, 2023 and/or during the Settlement Class Period (between April 13, 2023 and December 8, 2023, inclusive) are eligible under the Settlement. However, sales or disposition of Golden Heaven Stock during the period from December 9, 2023 through March 8, 2024 may be used for purposes of calculating your claim under the Plan of Allocation. Therefore, in order for the Claims Administrator to be able to balance and properly calculate your claim, the number of Golden Heaven shares purchased, acquired, sold and/or disposed of during the period of April 13, 2023 through March 8, 2024, inclusive, must be provided. Failure to report all such transactions may result in the rejection of your claim.
In Part II of this form, list each transaction separately and in chronological order, by trade date, beginning with the earliest. You must accurately provide the month, day, and year of each transaction you list. The date of covering a “short sale” is deemed to be the date of purchase of Golden Heaven Stock. The date of a “short sale” is deemed to be the date of sale of Golden Heaven Stock.
COPIES OF BROKER CONFIRMATIONS OR OTHER DOCUMENTATION OF YOUR TRANSACTIONS IN GOLDEN HEAVEN STOCK SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO YOUR PROOF OF CLAIM. FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS DOCUMENTATION COULD DELAY VERIFICATION OF YOUR CLAIM OR RESULT IN REJECTION OF YOUR CLAIM.
NOTICE REGARDING INSTITUTIONAL FILERS: Representatives with authority to file on behalf of (a) accounts of multiple Settlement Class Members and/or (b) institutional accounts with large numbers of transactions (“Representative Filers”) must submit information regarding their transactions in an electronic spreadsheet format. (This is different than the online claim portal on the Settlement website.) If you are a Representative Filer, you must contact the Claims Administrator at
efile@strategicclaims.net
or visit their website at
www.strategicclaims.net/case/GoldenHeaven
to obtain the required file layout. Claims which are not submitted in electronic spreadsheet format and in accordance with the Claims Administrator’s instructions may be subject to rejection. All Representative Filers MUST also submit a manually signed Proof of Claim for each Settlement Class Member, as well as proof of authority to file (see Claimant Identification above), along with the electronic spreadsheet format. Claims should be combined on a legal entity basis, where applicable. Sub-accounts should be rolled up into a parent account if the sub-accounts contain the same tax identification number. No claims submitted in electronic spreadsheet format will be considered to have been properly submitted unless the Claims Administrator issues to the Claimant a written acknowledgment of receipt and acceptance of electronically submitted data.
Only one claim should be submitted for each separate legal entity (see
the Claimant Identification paragraph above) and the complete name of the beneficial owner(s) of the securities must be entered where called for (see
the Claimant Identification paragraph).
NOTICE REGARDING ONLINE FILING: Claimants who are not Representative Filers may submit their claims online using the electronic version of the Proof of Claim hosted at
www.strategicclaims.net/case/GoldenHeaven. If you are not acting as a Representative Filer, you do not need to contact the Claims Administrator prior to filing; you will receive an automated e-mail confirming receipt once your Proof of Claim has been submitted. If you are unsure if you should submit your claim as a Representative Filer, please contact the Claims Administrator at
info@strategicclaims.net
or (866) 274-4004. If you are not a Representative Filer, but your claim contains a large number of transactions, the Claims Administrator may request that you also submit an electronic spreadsheet showing your transactions to accompany your Proof of Claim.
