Your rights may be affected by the Settlement if you purchased or otherwise acquired investor shares (Ticker symbol IQDAX) and/or institutional shares (Ticker symbol IQDNX) in Infinity Q Diversified Alpha Fund (the “Diversified Fund”) between February 22, 2016 and February 22, 2021, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”); and/or (ii) invested through either the Infinity Q Volatility Alpha Fund, L.P., or the Infinity Q Volatility Alpha Offshore Fund, Ltd.

You will not be directly charged for these lawyers. They will be paid from the Settlement Fund to the extent the Court approves their application for fees and expenses. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense.

WHAT IS THIS LAWSUIT ABOUT?

As more fully described in the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action (the "Notice"), Lead Plaintiffs claim that Defendants violated one or more of common law claims, §§11, 12(a)(2), and/or 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and/or §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as well as U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by reason of materially false and misleading statements made by certain Defendants during the Class Period concerning the Diversified Fund and the Volatility Fund (together, the “Funds”) and in the Registration Statements and Prospectuses for the Diversified Fund. Specifically, Lead Plaintiffs allege that certain Defendants made materially false and misleading statements about, and failed to disclose material information regarding, the way that the Funds and their investment advisors valued certain assets of the Funds, including swap contracts. Lead Plaintiffs also allege that certain Defendants failed to adhere to stated valuation procedures and tampered, or failed to prevent tampering, with third-party pricing models, resulting in valuations that were significantly overstated.

Settling Defendants deny all of Lead Plaintiffs’ allegations and any other wrongdoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing in any way, Settling Defendants have denied, and continue to deny, among other things, that any misstatements or materially misleading omissions were made or that Lead Plaintiffs or the Class have suffered any damages, and/or suffered any damages caused by Defendants. Settling Defendants do not admit any liability or wrongdoing in connection with the allegations set forth in the Litigation or any facts related thereto. The Settlement shall in no event be construed as, or deemed to be evidence of, liability, fault, wrongdoing, injury or damages, or of any wrongful conduct, acts, or omissions on the part of any of the Defendants, or of any infirmity of any defense, or of any damages to Lead Plaintiffs or any other Class Member.

The Parties agreed to mediate before Robert A. Meyer, Esq. of JAMS, and have agreed to settle the Litigation on the terms set forth in the Stipulation, subject to the Court’s approval, as detailed in the Notice.

WHAT DOES THE SETTLEMENT PROVIDE?

The proposed Settlement will create a cash settlement fund in the principal amount of up to $48,000,000 plus any interest that may accrue thereon (the “Settlement Fund”).

The Settlement Fund, plus accrued interest and minus the costs of the Notice and all costs associated with the administration of the Settlement Fund, as well as attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the award to Lead Plaintiffs for representing the Class, as approved by the Court (the “Net Settlement Fund”), will be distributed to eligible Class Members who submit valid, timely Proof of Claim and Release forms.
