AGUNF Ontario Superior Court Approves Settlement of Canadian Unitholder Class Action
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, Jun 05, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Arctic Glacier Income Fund (CNSX: AG.UN) today announced that Ontario Superior Court has approved the settlement of the class action lawsuit filed by unitholders of the Fund.
The settlement, announced on February 8, 2012, was subject to the approval by the Court. The Court Order found the settlement of $13.75 million to be fair and reasonable to the class members and approved the Settlement Agreement. The settlement will be entirely funded by Arctic Glacier's insurers, without the Fund making any admission of liability or making any monetary contribution to the settlement.
The class action named the Fund, its trustees, its operating company, Arctic Glacier Inc. and certain of its current and past senior officers and directors. The suit sought damages on behalf of all persons who acquired Arctic Glacier units between March 22, 2002 and September 16, 2008.
The Court Order approving the settlement and the Settlement Agreement provides for an opt-out period of 60 days for those class members who elect not to participate in the settlement. The opt-out period will begin to run from the date the Notice of Court Approval is published, which is expected to be June 13, 2012. The settlement is expected to become final and binding, including the release of all parties from all claims advanced in the class action, at the expiry of the opt-out period.
