This excerpt taken from the ELN 6-K filed Mar 30, 2009. Legal
settlement
The legal settlement of $4.7 million, net of insurance
coverage, in 2008 relates to several shareholder class action
lawsuits, commencing in 1999 against Dura Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
one of our subsidiaries, and various then-current or former
officers of Dura. The actions, which alleged violations of the
U.S. federal securities laws, were consolidated and sought
damages on behalf of a class of shareholders who purchased Dura
common shares during a defined period. A preliminary settlement
agreement has been entered into with respect to this matter. The
settlement is subject to finalisation by the parties and to
approval by the court.
