If you are a member of the Class, you are subject to the Settlement and you may be eligible for a payment from the Settlement, unless you timely and validly request to be excluded. The Class consists of:

Those who purchased, or otherwise acquired, the American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) of Orphazyme A/S (“Orphazyme”) (NASDAQ: ORPH) in its September 2020 Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) or at any time between September 29, 2020 and November 4, 2021, both dates inclusive (the “Settlement Class Period”), you could be entitled to a payment from a class action settlement (the “Settlement”).
