Institutions, brokers, and nominees with large numbers of transactions or clients may request, or may be requested, to submit information regarding their transactions in electronic file format. This includes institutional filers who file for multiple accounts under one master proof of claim. Electronic filing is not for use by individual class members. Listed below are the mandatory electronic filing requirements and a link to the Excel template for the electronic spreadsheet.

Any electronic file submission not in accordance with the documentation and electronic filing format requirements will be subject to rejection. Additional information regarding the submission may be requested from the Claims Administrator at any time. The information requested may include, but is not limited to, backup documentation issued by the brokerage or institution on behalf of transactions conducted for the beneficial owners, or such comparable backup documentation as the Claims Administrator may accept.
