A tentative settlement agreement with the plaintiffs of the shareholder lawsuits was reached earlier this year, and the Court previously granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The hearing on the motion for final approval of the settlement was held on July 9, 2012 and approval was granted by the Court.

Under the settlement agreement, all shareholder lawsuits against the Company will be terminated in return for payment of a total settlement amount of $3 million, which is to be paid by the Company's D&O insurance carrier.

The class covered by the lawsuits consists of all persons who purchased Tongxin common stock during the period from May 18, 2009 through December 17, 2010. Plaintiffs had alleged that Tongxin and certain of its officers and directors violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing, between May 18, 2009 and December 17, 2010, allegedly materially false and misleading statements regarding Tongxin International's business and financial results. Under the terms of the settlement as approved by the Court, there is no admission of any validity of the claims, no admission of any wrongdoing, no admission of any liability, and no admission of any fault.
