PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSEL’S INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH, PLAINTIFFS’ CLAIMS, AND THE BENEFITS OF SETTLEMENT. Plaintiffs’ Counsel conducted an extensive investigation relating to the claims and the underlying events alleged in the Action, including, but not limited to: (1) inspecting, analyzing, and reviewing Ixia’s public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), press releases, announcements, transcripts of investor conference calls, and news articles concerning Ixia; (2) drafting and filing the various initial and consolidated derivative complaints in the Action; (3) researching the applicable law with respect to the claims asserted in the Action and the potential defenses thereto; (4) researching corporate governance issues; (5) preparing and submitting a detailed mediation statement; (6) preparing and submitting a detailed settlement demand; (7) participating in the July 23, 2015 in-person Mediation in New York City; and (8) participating in extensive settlement discussions with Defendants’ Counsel. Plaintiffs’ Counsel believes that the claims asserted in the Action have merit and that their investigation supports the claims asserted. Without conceding the merit of any of Defendants’ defenses or the lack of merit of any of Plaintiffs’ own allegations, and solely in order to avoid the potentially protracted time, expense, and uncertainty associated with continued litigation, including a potential trial and appeal, Plaintiffs have concluded that it is desirable that the Action be fully and finally settled in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Stipulation. Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel recognize the significant risk, expense, and length of continued proceedings necessary to prosecute the Action against the Individual Defendants through trial and through possible appeal. Plaintiffs’ Counsel have also taken into account the uncertain outcome and the risk of any litigation, especially in complex cases such as the Action, as well as the difficulties and delays inherent in such litigation. Plaintiffs’ Counsel are also mindful of the difficulty of establishing demand futility. Based on their evaluation, Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel have determined that the Settlement is in the best interests of Plaintiffs, Ixia, and Current Ixia Shareholders, and have agreed to settle the Action upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stipulation.
