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 developments in the cases that comprise its Antitrust portfolio.

As at 30 June 2013 the carrying value of the Antitrust portfolio was US$139 million. It comprises five antitrust cases and one statutory claim.

The portfolio includes three Antitrust price-fixing cartel cases:

§ Two of these three cases have been set for trial in 2014. 

§ The third cartel case does not have a trial date set yet but a trial in this case is possible in 2014 given that the case is near completion of pre-trial proceedings.

 The portfolio also includes two monopoly cases:

§ One of these is in the final stages and is awaiting trial court rulings after having been sent back to the trial court following a successful appeal of liability issues. It is expected that this case will likely go to trial in 2014 on damages sometime after the ruling on certain pre-trial motions that are awaiting decision by the court.

§ The trial court has dismissed the other monopoly case, in which US$15 million was invested, and that negative decision has recently been affirmed on appeal. However, further appeals remain to be pursued before a final result is known.

Finally, certain of the claims in the statutory case have also been set for trial in early 2014.

The Company expects that its Antitrust portfolio will produce significant returns to shareholders over the next 18 months.
