Final Approval Hearing


A settlement has been reached with Google LLC, Google Ireland Limited, Google
Commerce Limited, Google Asia Pacific Pte. Limited, and Google Payment Corp.
(“Google”) in an antitrust class action lawsuit about the Google Play store. The
lawsuit was brought by U.S. app developers. The lawsuit alleged that Google
monopolized (or attempted to monopolize) alleged markets related to the
distribution of Android OS apps and in-app products in violation of U.S. and
California law. Google denies all allegations and the settlement is not an
admission of wrongdoing by Google. Both Plaintiffs and Google agreed to settle
this case to move forward, avoid uncertain litigation, and provide support to
the developer community.

You may be included in this settlement and entitled to receive a payment if you
are or were a U.S. developer of any Android OS application or in-app product
(including subscriptions) and satisfy the following criteria:

 1. Sold an application or in-app product (including subscriptions) for a
    non-zero price between August 17, 2016 and December 31, 2021;
 2. Paid Google a service fee greater than 15% on at least one such transaction
    between August 17, 2016 and December 31, 2021; and
 3. Earned proceeds between U.S. $0 and U.S. $2,000,000.00 through Google Play
    in every calendar year between and inclusive of 2016 and 2021. For this
    purpose, the 2016 calendar year shall consist of August 17, 2016 through
    December 31, 2016.

carefully. It addresses each of the following options available to you:

a digital payment instead, you must elect that option by May 30, 2023. (See FAQ

If you do not exclude yourself from the settlement, you may still object to it
