Exhibit 9 (Dkt. 559-11, S.D. Fla.)

Summary

Exhibit 9 (Document 559-11) in Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA, entered on the FLSD docket April 28, 2023, is a two-page printout of internal chat messages timestamped 01/28/2021, stamped RHMDL00048003. The messages state that All Hands today is going to be interesting, that tweets from some people with large followings are telling people to leave, and that market volatility plus inexperienced investors can spell trouble, one writer hating to see someone blow their life savings on GameStop and AMC due to the hype. A later message asks for the rationale beyond market volatility and how the decision aligns with the mission, says the company should not act as the arbiter of the free market, and feels like the retail investor has been sold out; another links to a tweet by @APompliano stating there is no free market.

       I'm not sure how to explain this, but when there is market volatility + inexperienced investors that can spell trouble. We'd hate to have
       someone blow their life savings on GameStop and AMC due to the hype. God forbid they do that and then harm themselves

       I am interested to hear more about the rationale beyond 'market volatility' and how this decision aligns with our mission. I don't believe
       we should act as the arbiter of the free market over exchanges and regulators. Feels like we have sold out the retail investor and II is
       playing out very poorly from a reputational standpoint. htlps://twitter.com/search?q= %22Free%20Market%
