`as follows:
`1. Ancora filed a complaint on August 27, 2019 and an amended complaint on
`September 12, 2019 in the Eastern District of Texas alleging TCL Corp., TCL
`Communication Ltd., TCL Communication Technology Holdings Ltd., TCT
`Mobile International Ltd., TCT Mobile, Inc., TCT Mobile (US) Inc., and TCT
`Mobile (US) Holdings Inc. infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,411,941 (’941 patent).

`27, 2019) (“Texas Lawsuit”).
`2. On November 12, 2019, TCL commenced the instant action against Ancora

`Nov. 12, 2019).
`3. On January 29, 2020, Ancora and TCL stipulated in this action to, inter alia,
