What are Unassigned Shares?
Unassigned Shares are the market shares of those entities that the Program Administrator determined were paid by one or more Participating Record Companies in the years 2007 through 2008, and that were identified by you and at least one other Participating Publisher in response to Section II of the Registration Form/Confirmation Form. These Unassigned Shares were NOT included in your Estimated Total Publisher Share or Total Estimated Group II Distribution provided on your Opt-In Form/Confirmation Update Form. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding, these Unassigned Shares are deemed “Contested Shares,” and are subject to the conflict resolution process described in the Payment and Conflict Resolution Guidelines.
