Facts

Martin Fuller sued Imperial Holdings alleging violations of the Securities Act of 1933. This lawsuit was consolidated with another lawsuit that asserted virtually identical claims (derivative action claim).

Contentions

PLAINTIFFS' CONTENTIONS:
Plaintiffs contended that defendant violated the Act by making misrepresentations or omissions of material facts in the Registration Statement and Prospectus filed in connection with the company's initial public offering on Feb. 7, 2011. As a result of defendant's misrepresentations, it inflated the value of the company's stock.

Result

The parties reached a settlement in the total amount of $12 million.
