Welcome to the Fisher Distribution Fund Website
If you previously received a wire payment or you cashed or otherwise negotiated your distribution check in the administration of the settlement of a related case titled, SEC v. Nicor, Inc. et al., Case No. 07-cv-1739 (N.D. Ill.), you may be eligible for further compensation.
Background
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) commenced an action titled SEC v. Thomas Fisher, et al., 07-cv-4483 (N.D. Ill.) against Thomas Fisher, Kathleen Halloran and George Behrens (the “Defendants”) on August 9, 2007. By order dated August 3, 2010, the Court entered Final Judgment as to Defendant Thomas Fisher pursuant to Rule 54(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Pursuant to the Final Judgment, on September 7, 2010, Fisher paid prejudgment interest and disgorgement to the Court (the “Distribution Fund”). Additional funds have since been deposited into the Distribution Fund account in connection with settlements by other Defendants and pursuant to Final Judgments by the Court. Funds were also deposited into an account being held by the Commission at the U.S. Treasury in connection with the settlements in this case.
The distribution of these funds shall be made to certain claimants who received a wire payment or who cashed or otherwise negotiated their distribution check in the administration of the settlement of a related case titled, SEC v. Nicor, Inc. et al., Case No. 07-cv-1739 (N.D. Ill.). The distribution shall be made on the same basis as the distribution plan in the Nicor action, except as specifically modified by the Distribution Plan in this administration.
The Court has appointed Garden City Group, LLC as the Distribution Agent.
