TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/01/16 -- ONEnergy Inc. ("ONEnergy" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: OEG), a fast-growing, dynamic energy management firm serving commercial, industrial, multi-residential and residential customers in Canada and the U.S. via its ONEnergy™ and Sunwave™-branded energy and energy-efficiency businesses, today announced that it has received $7.175 million from the previously announced final settlement (the "Settlement") of the Corporation's litigation with certain former officers, directors, consultants and legal advisors of ONEnergy, formerly Look Communications Inc. ("Look").
The Settlement does not include Look's former CEO Gerald McGoey and his personal service company Jolian Investments Limited (collectively the "McGoey Defendants"). As a condition of the Settlement, the claim against the McGoey Defendants will be limited to their proportionate and several liability for up to a maximum of $5,565,696 (being the amounts they received from Look) plus the McGoey Defendants' proportionate and several share of amounts paid by Look as advances to law firms for the payment of legal fees and expenses. ONEnergy will continue to vigorously pursue this claim against the McGoey Defendants.
ONEnergy believes the Settlement represents a positive outcome for the Corporation and its shareholders.
