LONDON, July 13, 2011 -


 

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.
