If the Distribution Plan is approved, eligible investors will receive proportionate shares of the Fair Fund as calculated by the Independent Distribution Consultant. The shares will be calculated from information in BACAP, BACAP Distributors and BAS's records, and records obtained from third-party intermediaries. Eligible Investors will not need to go through a claims process.

For the Commission, by its Secretary, pursuant to delegated authority.
