Accordingly, all of the shareholder lawsuits relating to these allegations have now been dismissed, and no cash settlements of any form have been paid by the Company or any of the Company's insurance carriers in connection with these lawsuits. Management Comments Mr. Gary C. Evans, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Magnum Hunter, commented, "Our Board of Directors is very pleased to put these shareholder lawsuits behind us. The plaintiffs brought their claims before nine different judges in seven different courts. Every single one of these judges who considered the plaintiffs' allegations agreed with us that the claims should be dismissed. While this has been a time consuming process, we held our ground and resolved each and every lawsuit without any payments to plaintiffs. All litigation expenses for shareholder lawsuits, other than insurance policy retention amounts, have been covered by our insurance policies."
