Tetragon Financial Group Limited (TFG) Announcement

LONDON, July 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

On July 12, 2011, a shareholder derivative action was filed in United States District Court - Southern District of New York - against the current and former directors of Tetragon Financial Group Limited and Tetragon Financial Group Master Fund Limited (together, "TFG"), TFG's investment manager, the principals of TFG's investment manager and an affiliated entity by a purported shareholder of Tetragon Financial Group Limited (the "Action").

The Action makes a series of allegations specifically with respect to performance fees charged by TFG's investment manager and asks, amongst other things, for money damages and equitable relief against the defendants, including the amendment and/or termination of the investment management agreement among TFG and its investment manager.  

TFG and its board of directors believe that the Action is factually and legally without merit and intend to seek to have the Action dismissed as quickly as possible.
