Case Investment Settlement Update

Litigation Capital Management Limited (AIM:LIT), a leading international provider of litigation financing solutions, announces the resolution of two single-case investments:

The first is the resolution of a claim which was pursued in the Supreme Court of Queensland in Australia. The claim has been resolved through negotiation. The resolution will generate revenue to LCM this financial period of approximately A$6.45m, and contribution to gross profit of approximately A$2m.

The second is the resolution of a claim which was pursued in the Supreme Court of New South Wales in Australia. That claim also resolved through negotiation. The resolution of that investment will generate revenue of approximately A$4m, and contribution to gross profit of not less than A$2.5m.  

The funds from the above resolutions will be received during the current financial year.

Patrick Moloney, CEO of LCM said: "We are pleased to update the market with the resolution of these two single-case investments. Single-case investments have been a fundamental part of our stringent business model since LCM's inception and the settlement of these respective disputes reinforces the ongoing opportunity and demand for investment in such cases.

"Our robust investment strategy remains a core part of our model and demonstrates the large and diverse investment opportunities within the Company."
