TORONTO, Dec. 21, 2018 /CNW/ - Callidus Capital Corporation ("Callidus" or the "Company") (TSX:CBL) today commented on a recently served statement of claim brought on behalf of the company formerly known as Bluberi Gaming Technologies Inc. ("former Bluberi"), its former President Gerald Duhamel, and Mr. Duhamel's family trusts.  The claim, filed with the Quebec Superior Court (Civil Division) on November 7, 2018, and served on Callidus on December 19, 2018, seeks damages against parties including Callidus and certain of its officers and directors, in the aggregate amount of approximately CDN$228 million. No relief other than money damages is being sought.

Callidus and the other defendants believe that the claims advanced by former Bluberi and its principal, Mr. Duhamel, are entirely spurious and without merit.  Moreover, former Bluberi (which is currently under court protection pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act) and Mr. Duhamel's legal ability to advance the claim without consultation with, and approval of, former Bluberi's Creditors is currently one of several issues recently heard by the Quebec Court of Appeal and taken under advisement. 

If the claim receives authorization to proceed on the part of former Bluberi's Creditors and/or the Court, Callidus intends to defend the claim vigorously and to seek its early dismissal.
