`undersigned counsel, stipulate as follows:
`WHEREAS, the Court previously entered orders, pursuant to stipulations submitted by the parties,
`temporarily staying this action pending further developments in the consolidated securities fraud class
`action captioned In re Apple Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 4:19-cv-02033-YGR (N.D. Cal.) (see Dkt. Nos.

`WHEREAS, the most recently-entered stay expired on February 1, 2023 (see Dkt. No. 53);
`WHEREAS, pursuant to paragraph 6 of the most recently-entered stipulation to stay this action
`(id.), the parties have now met and conferred concerning a proposed schedule for further proceedings;
`WHEREAS, the parties agree it will preserve judicial and party resources to first brief and
`determine the issue of Plaintiffs’ standing to assert claims derivatively on behalf of Apple, before any
`briefing takes place on motions raising substantive issues concerning Plaintiffs’ claims pursuant to Federal
`Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6);
`NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the parties, through their
`respective counsel of record, as follows:
`1.
`On or before May 19, 2023, Plaintiffs shall either (a) file a Consolidated Complaint; or (b)
`file a notice designating one of the existing Complaints in this action as the operative Consolidated
`Complaint.
