`
`
`
`The Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs (“DPPs”) and undersigned Defendants hereby stipulate as
`
`follows:
`
`WHEREAS, on September 30, 2016, the Court issued its Order re Phase I of Summary
`
`Judgment on Foreign Transactions (the “Phase I Order”) resolving certain of the “parties’
`
`disagreements about the scope of the import exclusion and proximate cause for the domestic
`
`effects exception to the FTAIA,” see Phase I Order at 3, which were briefed by the parties in
`
`connection with Defendants’ Joint Motion For Partial Summary Judgment Dismissing Plaintiffs’
`
`Sherman Act Claims For Foreign Transactions. See ECF No. 915 (Defendants’ “Motion of
`
`Summary Judgment”).
`
`WHEREAS, the Phase I Order resolved certain disputes between Defendants and DPPs
`
`with respect to three categories of transactions in particular: (1) “Capacitors Billed To Entities In
`
`The U.S.”; (2) “Capacitors Billed To Foreign Entities But Shipped To The U.S.”; and (3)
`
`“Capacitors Billed And Shipped To A Foreign Entity.” See Phase I Order at 5-11.
`
`WHEREAS, with respect to the category of “Capacitors Billed And Shipped To A
`
`Foreign Entity,” the Court held that “the Sherman Act claims of foreign purchasers who were
`
`invoiced and received their capacitors abroad are not barred as a matter of law, but they may not
`
`allege a claim on the basis of a global pricing theory.” See Phase I Order at 8-11. The Court
`
`further ordered a second phase of summary judgment briefing with respect to this category of
`
`transactions, after which the Court would “apply these legal determinations to the record and end
`
`in a final order on defendants’ requests for summary judgment under the FTAIA.” Id. at 3.
`
`WHEREAS, the DPPs disagree with the Court’s Order as to the category of “Capacitors
`
`Billed And Shipped To A Foreign Entity,” and expressly reserve their rights to appeal the Court’s
`
`Order at a later date; and
`
`WHEREAS, the DPPs intend to seek certification of damage claims only on behalf of the
`
`class as defined by the Court’s Phase I Order: a class limited to purchases of capacitors that are
`
`billed to entities in the U.S., as well as purchases of capacitors billed to foreign entities but
`
`shipped to the U.S.;

`
`
`
`IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the DPPs and
`the undersigned Defendants, subject to the concurrence of the Court, that:
`1.
`Upon the Court’s endorsement of this Stipulation and [Proposed] Order, the
`Court’s Phase I Order shall constitute a final order with respect to Defendants’ Motion for
`Summary Judgment with respect to DPPs’ claims of foreign purchasers who were invoiced and
`received their capacitors outside the United States. Such an order does not affect or limit DPPs’
`rights or timing to seek appellate review or Defendants’ rights to oppose any such appellate
`proceeding.
`2.
`The Phase II FTAIA briefing schedule for the DPP action, and related hearing date
`scheduled for March 23, 2017, are hereby vacated with respect to the undersigned Defendants.
`See Amended Scheduling Order, ECF No. 1405.
`The undersigned parties jointly and respectfully request that the Court enter this
`stipulation as an order.
`
`PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
