YOUR RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY LITIGATION NOW PENDING IN THIS COURT.

     If you bought Food Flavor Enhancers or products containing Food Flavor Enhancers in California during any part of the period from January 1, 1990 to September 1, 2000 (the “Class Period”) (1) from any manufacturer or processor other than a defendant in this action, (2) from any wholesaler, (3) from any retailer, or (4) from any other business entity or person, you may be a member in this Settlement Class and your rights may be affected. The defendants in this action are: Ajinomoto Company, Inc. and Ajinomoto U.S.A., Inc. (“Ajinomoto”), Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd. (“Takeda”), Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co., Ltd. (“Kyowa”), Archer Daniels Midland Co. (“ADM”), CJ Corp. and CJ America (“Cheil”), Miwon Company Ltd., Miwon Trading and Shipping Co., Ltd., Miwon Japan, Inc., Daesang America, Inc. f/k/a Miwon America, Inc., Daesang Corporation, and Daesang Japan, Inc. (“Daesang”), and Tung Hai Fermentation Industrial Corporation, n/k/a Vedan Enterprise Corporation (“Tung Hai”). This Settlement Agreement is between Tung Hai (“Settling Defendant”) and plaintiffs. The other defendants previously settled this case against them paying $10,590,000 in cash, and $500,000 in food product.

     The term “Food Flavor Enhancers” means and includes the products Monosodium Glutamate (“MSG”), Disodium Inosinate (“DSI”or “IMP”), Disodium Guanylate (“DSG” or “GMP”) and the combination of IMP and GMP (“I&G”). IMP and GMP and I&G are also known as nucleotides. Food Flavor Enhancers are most commonly used in dehydrated soups and gravies; canned meat; sausage and fish; prepared meals; tomato sauce and ketchup; mayonnaise; snack foods (mix in salt); soy sauce; crab; prawn and shellfish (preserved); Asian cuisine; prepared vegetables; and a variety of other products. The litigation seeks treble damages for alleged violations of the California antitrust laws with respect to the pricing, marketing and sale of Food Flavor Enhancers. Various plaintiffs filed lawsuits against the defendants listed above. A Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed on September 1, 2000. Plaintiffs allege that, beginning January 1, 1990 defendants engaged in an unlawful conspiracy to fix, raise and stabilize the prices of Food Flavor Enhancers in the United States in violation of the California antitrust laws. Plaintiffs claim that, as a result of the alleged conspiracy, they and other members of the Settlement Class described below have paid more for Food Flavor Enhancers purchased indirectly than they would have paid absent the alleged conspiracy. All defendants deny that they have violated the antitrust laws and have asserted various defenses.

     Nonetheless, the Settling Defendant concluded, despite its belief that it is not liable for the claims asserted and it has good defenses thereto, that it will enter into a settlement to avoid the further expense, inconvenience and burden of this protracted litigation, and the distraction and diversion of its personnel and resources, and to avoid the risks inherent in uncertain, complex litigation.

The Settlement Class is:

All persons (including natural persons), sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations and other entities in the State of California who indirectly purchased Food Flavor Enhancers in California from any of the Defendants, or their respective predecessors, agents or subsidiaries, at any time during the period January 1, 1990 to September 1, 2000. Excluded from the Settlement Class are governmental entities, any judge, justice or judicial officer presiding over this matter and members of his or her immediate family, the Defendants and other manufacturers of Food Flavor Enhancers, along with their respective parents, subsidiaries and/or affiliates. Also excluded from this class are the legal representatives, heirs, successors, and attorneys of any excluded person or entity, and any person acting on behalf of any excluded person or entity.

     THE COURT HAS NOT HEARD OR PASSED ON ANY OF THE CONTENTIONS OF THE PARTIES. THIS NOTICE IS NOT TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS AN EXPRESSION OF ANY OPINION BY THE COURT AS TO THE MERITS OF ANY OF THE CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTED BY ANY PARTY.

I. THE SETTLEMENT

     Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Tung Hai has agreed to contribute $100,000 in coffee product to the San Francisco Food Bank or other mutually agreed-upon recipient, as well as $25,000 cash to pay Court-approved notice cost. Settling Defendant is the last defendant in this case. Prior notice was given of settlements with other defendants totaling $10,590,000 in cash and $500,000 in food product.
