BlueNRGY Group Announces Settlement of Securities Class Action

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - Mar 6, 2017) -  BlueNRGY Group Limited (OTC PINK: CBDEF) ("BlueNRGY") today announced that an agreement in principle has been reached to settle all previously disclosed securities litigation naming as defendants BlueNRGY, one of its U.S. subsidiaries, certain of its current and former officers and directors, and various third parties involved in the company's June 2014 securities offering (Civil Action No4:15-cv-01668 and Civil Action No 4:16-cv-02704, both of which cases are currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas).

The agreement in principle was reached in connection with a voluntary mediation and includes a full release of all defendants in connection with the allegations made in the lawsuit.

The agreement in principle provides for no admission of liability or wrongdoing by any defendant and a settlement payment to the classes, inclusive of all Plaintiffs' attorneys fees and expenses and settlement costs, that will be paid solely by BlueNRGY's insurance carrier and the underwriter of the June 2014 securities offering. BlueNRGY expects that if the settlement is finalized in accordance with the agreement in principle, its additional legal fees and accruals related to the matter will not be material. The settlement is subject to definitive documentation, notice to the putative class, and court approval, which process will take several months.

William Morro, Chairman and Managing Director of BlueNRGY stated, "This settlement represents the last major step in a restructuring and strategic realignment of BlueNRGY that began with its emergence from Voluntary Administration in 2015. With the cloud of ongoing litigation removed after more than two years, BlueNRGY's management and Board can now fully focus on building BlueNRGY to be the preeminent provider of monitoring and control solutions and support for the renewable energy sector."
