Portfolio update

 

 

Juridica, a leading provider of strategic capital for corporate legal claims to both businesses and the legal markets, provides the following update on material events relevant to its Antitrust Portfolio.

 

Cases 1208-A and 5208-E have recently settled in their entirety. Additionally, Case 8008-L has recently produced additional proceeds on a smaller settlement with one defendant. The Company is entitled to proceeds as per the terms of the Company's loan facility for these cases. Subject to final calculations, the Company's Investment Manager expects that total gross proceeds will be in excess of US$70 million prior to accounting for any potential tax liabilities. Approximately US$67 million of proceeds are attributable to Cases 1208-A and 5208-E.

 

Case 5608-N was previously dismissed following an 11-1 hung jury, the majority supporting the claimant. Subsequently, the claimant lost its appeal. A writ of Certiorari was then filed with the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court has declined to review the negative decisions of the trial court and lower appellate court. As reported at year-end 2013, the case was significantly reduced to a valuation of less than US$2 million in the corresponding NAV calculation.

 

Case 8008-L remains on appeal and no additional material developments have occurred since the Company's last report on this case.

 

A further announcement on these results will follow in due course.

 

Lord Brennan, Juridica's Chairman, said: "We are pleased to be able to confirm such strong wins in our Antitrust Portfolio. The continued progress and maturity of the Portfolio underlines our conviction that we will be able to announce further progress over the coming year."
