had not developed or distributed the Digital Assets or a platform that would allow users to transact
with or sell digital assets.

total of $539,433,428, to the Commission. 2The Commission also created the Fair Fund, pursuant to

disgorgement and interest paid, can be distributed to harmed investors.

原第 119 段
196. All funds remaining in the Residual that are infeasible to distribute to investors will
be returned to the Commission and transferred to the U.S. Treasury after the final accounting is
approved by the Commission. 2Returning such money to Respondents would be inconsistent with the
equitable principle that no person should profit from his own wrongdoing. 3Therefore, in these
circumstances, distributing disgorged funds to the U.S. Treasury is the most equitable alternative.
196. 剩余款项中无法切实分配给投资者的所有资金,均将退还委员会,并在委员会批准最终会计报告后转入美国财政部。 2将此类款项退还被申请人,将违背任何人不得从自身不法行为获利的衡平法原则。 3因此,在此情形下,将吐出非法所得款项分配给美国财政部是最符合衡平原则的替代办法。

and the digital asset security referred to as either G-Coins or G-Dollar (the “Digital Asset”) during

the Digital Asset”) separately, as follows:
1基金管理人将分别计算购买GTV股票的损失金额(以下简称“GTV股票认定损失额”)及/或数字资产的损失金额(以下简称“数字资产认定损失额”),计算方法如下:
原第 130 段
1A. Recognized Loss from GTV Stock will be the total amount paid for GTV
Stock purchased during the GTV Stock Relevant Period minus the proceeds
from the sale of those shares from April 20, 2020 through July 1, 2020.
1A. GTV股票认定损失额,为在GTV股票相关期间购买GTV股票所支付的总金额,减去在2020年4月20日至2020年7月1日期间出售该等股票所得的款项。
原第 131 段
1If the Recognized Loss from GTV Stock calculates to a negative number, reflecting a gain,
the Recognized Loss from GTV Stock will be $0.00.
1如计算所得的GTV股票认定损失额为负数,表示存在收益,则GTV股票认定损失额为0.00美元。
原第 132 段
1B. Recognized Loss from the Digital Asset will be the total amount paid for
Digital Assets purchased during the Digital Asset Relevant Period minus the
proceeds from the sale of the Digital Assets from April 1, 2020 through July
1, 2020.
1B. 数字资产认定损失额,为在数字资产相关期间购买数字资产所支付的总金额,减去在2020年4月1日至2020年7月1日期间出售数字资产所得的款项。

补充规定
原第 135 段
1Acquisitions: The receipt or grant of the Securities to the Eligible Claimant by gift, devise,
inheritance, or operation is not considered an eligible purchase if the original purchase did not occur
during the Security’s respective Relevant Period. 2Such Securities will be excluded from the
calculation of the Eligible Claimant’s Recognized Loss.
1取得证券:如原购买行为未发生于相应证券的相关期间,则合格申索人因赠与、遗赠、继承或法律的施行而收到或获授该证券,不视为符合资格的购买。 2计算合格申索人的认定损失额时,将排除此类证券。

recovery under this Plan.

原第 138 段
1Recognized Loss: An Eligible Claimant’s Recognized Loss will be the sum of their
Recognized Loss from GTV Stock and their Recognized Loss from the Digital Asset.

原第 139 段
1Allocation of Funds: If the Net Available Fair Fund equals or exceeds the sum of the
Recognized Losses of all Eligible Claimants, each Eligible Claimant’s distribution amount will equal
his, her or its Recognized Loss. 2If the Net Available Fair Fund is less than the sum of the
Recognized Losses of all Eligible Claimants, each Eligible Claimant’s distribution amount will equal
to their “Pro Rata Share” of the Net Available Fair Fund. 3In either case, the distribution amount will
be subject to the “Minimum Distribution Amount.”
1资金分配:如公平基金可用净额等于或超过所有合格申索人的认定损失额总和,每一合格申索人的分配金额将等于其认定损失额。 2如公平基金可用净额低于所有合格申索人的认定损失额总和,每一合格申索人的分配金额将等于其在公平基金可用净额中所占的“按比例份额”。 3无论何种情形,分配金额均受“最低分配金额”的限制。
原第 140 段
1Pro Rata Share: A Pro Rata Share computation is intended to measure Eligible Claimants’
Recognized Losses against one another. 2The Fund Administrator shall determine each Eligible
Claimant’s Pro Rata Share as the ratio of the Eligible Claimant’s Recognized Loss to the sum of
Recognized Losses of all Eligible Claimants.
1按比例份额:按比例份额的计算旨在衡量各合格申索人的认定损失额之间的相对比例。 2基金管理人应以每一合格申索人的认定损失额占所有合格申索人认定损失额总和的比例,确定该合格申索人的按比例份额。
原第 141 段
1Minimum Distribution Amount: The Minimum Distribution Amount will be $10.00. 2If an
Eligible Claimant’s distribution amount is less than the Minimum Distribution Amount, that Eligible
Claimant will be deemed ineligible to receive a Distribution Payment and their distribution amount
will be reallocated on a pro-rata basis to Eligible Claimants that have distribution amounts that are
greater than or equal to the Minimum Distribution Amount.
1最低分配金额:最低分配金额为10.00美元。 2如合格申索人的分配金额低于最低分配金额,该合格申索人将被认定为不具备领取分配款的资格,其分配金额将按比例重新分配给分配金额大于或等于最低分配金额的合格申索人。
原第 142 段
1Payee: An Eligible Claimant whose distribution amount equals or exceeds the Minimum
Distribution Amount will be deemed a Payee and receive a Distribution Payment for their
distribution amount.
1收款人:分配金额等于或超过最低分配金额的合格申索人,将被认定为收款人,并获得与其分配金额相等的分配款。
原第 143 段
1Tranches: It is anticipated that the distribution of the Net Available Fair Fund will occur in
several tranches of payments, as described in paragraphs 67 to 70 of the Plan. 2In no event will a
Payee receive from the Fair Fund more than their Recognized Loss.
1批次:预计公平基金可用净额将如本方案第67至70段所述,分若干批次支付。 2在任何情况下,收款人从公平基金获得的款项均不得超过其认定损失额。
原第 144 段
1Prior Recovery: To avoid payment of a windfall, the Distribution Payment will be no larger
than the Payee’s Recognized Loss minus the amount of any compensation for the loss that resulted
from the conduct described in the Order that was received from another source (e.g., class action
settlement), to the extent known by the Fund Administrator.
1已获赔偿:为避免超额赔偿,在基金管理人知悉的范围内,分配款不得超过收款人的认定损失额减去其从其他来源(例如集体诉讼和解)就命令所述行为造成的损失已获赔偿后的金额。
