Settlement calculation framework: Indicative Amount, procedural and regulatory factors determine settlement amount and confidentiality reductions. The settlement framework computes the Indicative Amount (IA) per count by applying a multiplying factor A (PCF + RAF) to benchmark B (BV x BA), adds legal costs where applicable, caps IA by maximum statutory penalty per count, and allows confidentiality and procedural reductions; BV aggregates enumerated mitigating, aggravating, deliberate and reckless base values while BA is the greater of quantified illegal profits plus investor loss or tabled benchmark amounts for specified violations; the final settlement amount (SA) is approved by the Panel of Whole Time Members.
