Welcome to the settlement website for Poseidon Concepts Corp. Securities Litigation
Overview
The Courts in Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Colorado and New York have approved and recognized a global settlement reached within the insolvency proceedings of Poseidon Concepts Corp. (“Poseidon”) which, among other things, finally resolves securities class proceedings brought against Poseidon, certain of its former directors and officers, its former auditors, its former underwriters and Peyto Exploration & Development Corp (in its capacity as the successor to Open Range Energy Corp.).
The securities class proceedings were brought on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the securities of Poseidon on or before February 14, 2013, other than certain excluded persons, and alleged that Poseidon’s financial statements and disclosure documents issued between October 2011 and February 2013 contained misrepresentations.
Pursuant to the settlement (which does not constitute an admission of liability, but represents a negotiated compromise of disputed allegations and claims), the defendants in the class proceedings pay at least $34,632,800 and up to $36,606,200 for the benefit of the eligible shareholders of Poseidon.
Who is eligible to claim compensation from the settlement?
Pursuant to an Order of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench and the approved Claims and Distribution Protocol, the proceeds of the settlement net of legal fees and administration and other expenses will be distributed to the eligible shareholders of Poseidon.
