Litigation Settlement

 

As previously disclosed in its annual reports filed on Form 20-F for its 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, BlueNRGY Group Limited (the “Company”), one of its U.S. subsidiaries and certain of its current and former officers and directors are named as defendants in pending civil actions in federal court in Texas (the “Securities Litigation”). The specific case numbers are No 4:15-cv-01668 and No 4:16-cv-02704. A notice of settlement was filed on March 1, 2017 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas by counsel to the plaintiffs and certain defendants in connection with the Securities Litigation. The notice stated that the parties are in the process of formalizing their settlement agreement (the “Agreement in Principle”) and that it will, subject to court approval, resolve all claims in the actions as to each and every defendant.

 

The Agreement in Principle provides for no admission of liability or wrongdoing by any defendant and the settlement amount to the classes (inclusive of all plaintiffs’ attorneys fees and expenses and settlement costs) will be paid solely by the Company’s insurance carrier and the underwriter of the Company’s June 2014 securities offering. The Company expects that if the settlement is finalized in accordance with the Agreement in Principle, its additional legal fees and accruals related to the Securities Litigation will not be material. The settlement of each action is subject to definitive documentation, notice to the putative class, and court approval, which process will take several months. There can be no assurance that either or both actions comprising the Securities Litigation will be finally resolved in accordance with the Agreement in Principle or at all without material cost to the Company and its current officers and directors.
