From: "Pilgram, Matt" <matt.pilgram@intelligrated.com> To: "Lynn_Fuller@cand.uscourts.gov" <Lynn_Fuller@cand.uscourts.gov> Date: 06/25/2012 10:49 AM Subject: Lawsuit unknowingly filed on my behalf

Hello Lynn,

Please forward this message to any other necessary parties that should be informed. I could locate only your email contact on the Northern District of CA website.

Apparently a lawsuit has been filed on my behalf that I did not authorize. It is regarding the Facebook IPO. Attorneys contacted me regarding litigation after learning I had bought IPO shares. I discussed the potential case with them but never authorized them to file a lawsuit and cut off communications with them. Today, through a Google search I find they have filed a lawsuit. The details are:

6/20/2012 Civil (CANO-15-(850)Securities CLASS ACTION) MATTHEW PILGRAM-V-FACEBOOK INC12-3197EMC In San Francisco on 6/20/2012

Again, I am not behind this suit but my name is being used. I do not know what actions must take place to stop this case, but felt I should alert the courts it has no merit and is not backed by myself.

Thanks, Matthew T. Pilgram Matthew T.
