John Alden Financial Corporation Settles with Stockholders for $3.25 million

Report Fraud
Case ID: 3355 | Stocks | 04/27/2004

The parties have reached a tentative $3.25 million settlement in several actions filed against John Alden Financial Corporation and certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company's common stock between October 20, 1994, and May 3, 1995. Persons eligible to participate in the settlement must file a proof of claim postmarked no later than May 16, 2004.

The action alleges that the defendants disseminated various false and misleading statements in connection with the financial condition and status of John Alden Financial Corporation, to the harm of investors, and in violation of federal securities laws.

Each claimant will share a pro-rata portion of the settlement fund on the basis of their net principal loss, which shall generally be determined by subtracting from the amount of money paid to purchase John Alden Financial Corporation common stock minus any monies or other consideration realized upon the sale of such stock. If the stock was not sold prior to May 3, 1995, a presumed sale price of $15.25 per share shall be applied to calculate the net principal loss.

To be eligible to participate in the settlement, claimants must send their proof of claim forms to:

In re John Alden Securities Litigation
c/o Gilardi & Co. LLC
Claims Administrator
P.O. Box 8040
San Rafael, CA 94912-8040

The settlement will not be effective until the court grants it final approval. The court has scheduled a hearing on the matter for July 15, 2004.
