1. If you purchased TerraVia common stock and registered the certificate in your name, you are the beneficial owner as well as the owner of record. If, however, you purchased TerraVia common stock and the certificate was registered in the name of a third party (such as your stock broker), you are the beneficial owner and the third party is the owner of record. Proceeds of this Settlement will be distributed to Settlement Class members who are beneficial owners of TerraVia common stock.
2. Use the section entitled “Claimant Identification Schedule,” to identify yourself and each owner of record, if different from the beneficial owner of TerraVia common stock that forms the basis of this claim.
This claim must be filed by the actual beneficial owner(s), or the legal representative of such owner(s), of the stock upon which this claim is based.
3. If shares of TerraVia common stock were owned jointly, all joint owners must sign the Proof of Claim. Executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, and trustees may complete and sign the Proof of Claim on behalf of persons or entities represented by them, but they must identify such persons or entities and provide proof of their authority (e.g., powers of attorney or currently effective letters testamentary or letters of administration). The Social Security (or taxpayer identification) number and telephone number of the beneficial owner may be used in verifying the Claim. If you fail to provide the foregoing information, your claim may be delayed or rejected.
4. You must file a separate Proof of Claim for each differently named account or ownership, such as an individual account, an IRA account, a joint account, a custodial account, etc. Joint tenants, coowners, or custodians UGMA should file a single claim. Claimants who file one or more claims (e.g., one in Claimant’s name and one for an IRA or joint ownership) must identify the other claims filed.
5. NOTICE REGARDING ELECTRONIC FILES: Representatives with the authority to file on behalf of (a) accounts of multiple Persons and/or (b) institutional accounts with large numbers of transactions (“Representative Filers”) must submit information regarding their clients’ transactions in the approved electronic spreadsheet format, which is available by request to the Claims Administrator at
efile@strategicclaims.net or by visiting the website
www.strategicclaims.net/institutional-filers/. One spreadsheet may contain the information for multiple Persons and institutional accounts, but all Representative Filers MUST also submit a manually signed Proof of Claim, as well as proof of authority to file (see paragraph 3 above) along with the electronic spreadsheet. The Claims Administrator reserves the right to request additional documentary proof regarding transactions and holdings in the Company’s shares to prove and accurately process the Proof of Claim. Any file not submitted in accordance with the required electronic filing format will be subject to rejection. No electronic files will be considered to have been properly submitted unless the Claims Administrator issues an email after processing the file with claim number(s) and respective account information. Do not assume that the file has been received or processed until the Claims Administrator sends a confirmation email. If you do not receive such an email within 10 days of submission, please contact the electronic filing department at
efile@strategicclaims.net to inquire about the file and confirm it was received and acceptable.
6. NOTICE REGARDING ONLINE FILING: Claimants who are not Representative Filers may submit their claims online by clicking Next below and following all the instructions. If you are not acting as a Representative Filer, you do not need to contact the Claims Administrator prior to filing; you will receive an automated e-mail confirming receipt once your Proof of Claim has been submitted. If you are unsure if you should submit your claim as a Representative Filer, please contact the Claims Administrator at
