US Civil case progress and settlement Tri-Union Seafoods LLC (Tri-Union) and Thai Union Group continue to fully support DOJ s and their investigation and still maintained conditional leniency with respect to the Investigation under the DOJ s Corporate Leniency Program. Provided we continue to fully cooperate with the DOJ, neither Tri-Union nor any cooperating executives or employees within the scope of the Investigation will face criminal fines, jail time, or prosecution. The civil cases are continuing. Plaintiffs have filed comparable lawsuits, which have been combined with the original complaint into a single class action lawsuit. The plaintiff alleges that Tri-Union violated U.S. antitrust laws, specifically Sections 1 and 3 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Tri-Union is presently unable to predict the probable outcome of these matters. Nevertheless, Tri-Union is in discussions with some of its larger customers to discuss their complaints and expects that selected resolutions by way of settlement could be reached within this year.
