"The time frame for resolving an appeal can vary widely, and we will know more as the appeals proceed. Based on the current schedule, it is likely that the appeal will not be set for hearing until the first half of 2025 or later. After that, there will be an additional delay before the appeal is decided, and there could be additional proceedings that could further delay the distribution of settlement benefits after the appeal is decided."
