Your Rights in the Proposed Settlement

If you are a member of the Class, your rights will be affected and you may be eligible for a payment from the proceeds of the Settlement, if it receives final Court approval.  The Class conditionally certified by the Court for settlement purposes includes all record holders and beneficial holders of POW! Entertainment, Inc. (“POW”) common stock who held or owned such stock on October 23, 2017, the date POW was acquired by First Creative International Limited and Camsing Entertainment International, Inc. (the “Merger), except those Persons that are excluded, as described below.

You are not a Class Member if you are Defendants, members of the immediate family of any Defendant, any entity in which a Defendant has or had a controlling interest, and legal representatives, heirs, successors-in-interest, transferees and assigns of any such excluded person or entity.  Also excluded from the Class is any Person who exercised their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and their respective successors-in-interest, successors, predecessors-in-interest, predecessors, representatives, trustees, executors, administrators, estates, heirs, assigns, and transferees, immediate and remote, and any person or entity acting on behalf of, or claiming under, any of them.

Please read the Notice to fully understand your rights and options in this Settlement. Copies of the Notice can be found in the menu at the top of this page.

Payments to eligible Class Members will be made only after the Settlement and a Plan of Allocation are approved by the Court and any appeals are resolved. It is always uncertain whether these appeals can be resolved, and resolving them can take time, perhaps more than a year.  Please be patient.
