(“Reading” or the “Company”) (collectively “Defendants”). T2 Plaintiffs and Defendants are collectively referred to as the “Parties” and each as a “Party.”
This Settlement Agreement is subject to Court approval as set forth in the Notice of Pendency and Settlement of Action which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, on June 12, 2015, Reading’s Board of Directors terminated Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xx. as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Reading.
WHEREAS, that same day, Xx. Xxxxxx, Jr. filed a lawsuit, styled as both an individual and a derivative action, and titled “Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xx., individually and derivatively on behalf of Reading International, Inc. vs. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, et al.” against the Company, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada (the “Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Jr. Action”).
WHEREAS, on August 6, 2015, the Company received notice that a Motion to Intervene in the Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Jr. Action and a proposed derivative complaint had been filed by the T2 Plaintiffs in the Eighth Judicial District Court. On August 11, 2015, the Court granted the motion of the T2 Plaintiffs, allowing these plaintiffs to file their complaint (the “T2 Complaint”).
WHEREAS, on September 9, 2015, certain of the Individual Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the T2 Complaint. The Company joined this Motion to Dismiss on September 14, 2015. The hearing on this Motion to Dismiss was vacated as the T2 Plaintiffs voluntarily withdrew the T2 Complaint, with the parties agreeing that T2 Plaintiffs would have leave to amend the T2 Complaint.
WHEREAS, on February 12, 2016, the T2 Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint (the “Amended T2 Complaint”). The T2 Plaintiffs purported to bring a derivative action on behalf of Reading and its stockholders, and alleged in their Amended T2 Complaint various violations of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and corporate waste by the defendants (the “T2 Action”). More specifically the Amended T2 Complaint sought the reinstatement of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xx. as President and Chief Executive Officer and certain monetary damages, as well as equitable injunctive relief, attorney fees, and costs of suit. The defendants in the T2 Action are the same as named in the Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Jr. Action as well as Director Xxxx Xxxxxxx,
1
Director Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, and Company legal counsel, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (collectively and without differentiation, the “Individual Defendants” and each an “Individual Defendant”). The Amended T2 Complaint deleted its request for an order disbanding Reading’s Executive Committee and for an order “collapsing the Class A and B stock structure into a single class of voting stock.” The Amended T2 Complaint added a request for an order setting aside the election results from the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, based on an allegation that Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx were not entitled to vote the shares of Class B Common Stock held of record by the Estate of Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Sr. and the Living Trust established by Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Sr.
WHEREAS, in connection with the litigation, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Jr. and the T2 Plaintiffs conducted extensive discovery on these matters, which included depositions of Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Jr. In response to discovery requests, Reading produced over 13,900 documents, and the Individual Defendants produced over 7,900 documents.
WHEREAS, in connection with efforts to settle this matter, the Parties engaged in extensive discussions.
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to settle all claims relating to the subject matter of the T2 Action, whether asserted or unasserted.
WHEREAS, all Parties recognize the time and expense that would be incurred by further litigation and the uncertainties and risks inherent in such litigation and have concluded that the interests of the Parties, including the stockholders or Reading, would be best served by a settlement of the T2 Action on the terms reflected herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual releases, covenants and undertakings hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
TERMS
1. Incorporation of Recitals |
The foregoing recitals are incorporated into this Settlement Agreement as if fully set forth herein.
2. Consideration |
As consideration for the Settlement and dismissal with prejudice of the T2 Action, the Parties have mutually agreed upon the terms of a press release discussing the reasons for the Settlement and further agree, as set forth hereinbelow, not to disparage each other in connection with the T2 Action.
3. Reasons for Settlement |
a. The T2 Plaintiffs brought derivative claims with the intention of ensuring that the interests of all Reading stockholders were being appropriately protected. In connection with the
2
|
litigation, the T2 Plaintiffs conducted extensive discovery on the matters alleged in the T2 and Xxx Xxxxxx, Jr. Complaints, discovery that included depositions of Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Jr. Following their efforts on behalf of the stockholders, the T2 Plaintiffs have concluded that continuing with their derivative stockholder litigation would provide no further benefit to Reading’s stockholders, including the T2 Plaintiffs. |
The T2 Plaintiffs believe that the Settlement provides substantial and immediate benefits for Reading and its current stockholders. In addition to these substantial benefits, T2 Plaintiffs and their counsel have considered: (i) the attendant risks of continued litigation and the uncertainty of the outcome of the T2 Action; (ii) the probability of success on the merits; (iii) the inherent problems of proof associated with, and possible defenses to, the claims asserted in the T2 Action; (iv) the desirability of permitting the settlement to be consummated according to its terms; (v) the expense and length of continued proceedings necessary to prosecute the T2 Action against the Defendants through trial and appeals; (vi) the T2 Plaintiffs’ confidence in the Reading Board of Directors and its management after conducting extensive discovery and (vii) the conclusion of the T2 Plaintiffs and their counsel that the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement are fair, reasonable, and adequate, and that it is in the best interests of Reading and its current stockholders to settle the T2 Action on the terms set forth herein. Based on T2 Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s thorough review and analysis of the relevant facts, allegations, defenses, and controlling legal principles, T2 Plaintiffs’ Counsel believes that the settlement set forth in this Settlement Agreement is fair, reasonable, and adequate, and confers substantial benefits upon Reading and its current stockholders. Based upon T2 Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s evaluation as well as T2 Plaintiffs’ own evaluation, T2 Plaintiffs have determined that the settlement is in the best interests of Reading and its current stockholders and has agreed to settle the T2 Action upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement and summarized herein. T2 Plaintiffs believe that Defendants will continue to act in good faith to use best practices with regard to board governance, protection of stockholder rights, and maximizing value for all its stockholders, which actions shall include (i) providing to the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant the names of certain companies previously suggested by the T2 Plaintiffs as possible market comparables for consideration in 2017 and (ii) the Company anticipates continuing to hold regular corporate earnings conference calls and to continue to engage with investors around earnings. Further Management has informed T2 that incident to the financing of pre-development activities at the site, it anticipates refinancing the existing loan between Reading and Xxxxxx Hill Properties, LLC.
b. The Defendants deny any and all allegations of wrongdoing, liability, violations of law or damages arising out of or related to any of the conduct, statements, acts, or omissions alleged in the T2 Action, and maintain that their conduct was at all times proper, in the best interests of Reading and its stockholders, and in compliance with applicable law. The Defendants further deny any breach of fiduciary duties or aiding and abetting any breach of such a fiduciary duty. The Defendants also deny that Reading or its stockholders were harmed by any conduct of the Defendants alleged in the T2 Action or that could have been alleged therein. Each of the Defendants asserts that, at all relevant times, they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of Reading and all of its stockholders. |
3
c. Defendants, however, recognize the uncertainty and the risk inherent in any litigation, and the difficulties and substantial burdens, expense, and length of time that may be necessary to defend this proceeding through the conclusion of trial, post-trial motions, and appeals. In particular, Defendants are cognizant of the burdens this litigation is imposing on Reading and its management, and the impact that continued litigation will have on management’s ability to continue focusing on the creation of stockholder value. Defendants wish to eliminate the uncertainty, risk, burden and expense of further litigation, and to permit the operation of Reading without further distraction and diversion of its directors and executive personnel with respect to the T2 Action. Defendants have therefore determined to settle the T2 Action on the terms and conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement solely to put the Released Claims (as defined herein) to rest finally and forever, without in any way acknowledging any wrongdoing, fault, liability, or damages. |
4. Release |
Subject to Court approval, a judgment will be entered (the “Judgment”). Upon entry of the Judgment, the T2 Action will be dismissed in its entirety and with prejudice and the following releases will occur:
a. Release of Claims by Reading, T2 Plaintiffs, and Other Reading Stockholders: Reading, and the T2 Plaintiffs, who have purported to bring derivative claims on behalf of Reading and all its stockholders, shall fully, finally, and forever release, settle, and discharge, and shall forever be enjoined from prosecuting, the Released T2 Plaintiffs’ Claims against Defendants and any other Defendants’ Releasees. |

For the avoidance of doubt, the Released T2 Plaintiffs’ Claims include all of the claims asserted in the T2 Action, but do not include claims based on conduct of Defendants’ Releasees after the Effective Date. The Parties acknowledge that this Release does not serve to require dismissal of the claims raised by Xxxxx Xxxxxx Jr. in his First Amended Complaint. |

For the avoidance of doubt, the Released Defendants’ Claims do not include claims based on the conduct of the T2 Plaintiffs’ Releasees after the Effective Date. |

c. “Unknown Claims” means any Released T2 Plaintiffs’ Claims that Reading or T2 Plaintiffs, does not know or suspect to exist in his, her, or its favor at the time of the release of the Defendants’ Releasees, and any Released Defendants’ Claims that any of the Defendants or any of the other Defendants’ Releasees does not know or suspect to exist in his, her, or its favor at the time of the release of the T2 Plaintiffs’ Releasees, which, if known by him, her or it, might have affected his, her, or its decision(s) with respect to the Settlement. With respect to any and all Released T2 Plaintiffs’ Claims and Released Defendants’ Claims, the Parties stipulate and agree that Reading, T2 Plaintiffs and each of the Individual Defendants shall expressly waive, and each of the other Defendants’ Releasees shall be deemed to have waived, and by operation of the Judgment shall have expressly waived, any and all provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by California Civil Code §1542, which provides: |
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
and any law of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law or foreign law, which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to California Civil Code §1542. Reading, T2 Plaintiffs and each of the Individual Defendants acknowledge, and each of the other Reading stockholders, excluding Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Jr., shall be deemed by operation of law to have acknowledged, that the foregoing waiver was separately bargained for and is a key element of the Settlement.
