TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2018 /CNW/ - Home Capital Group Inc. ("Home Capital" or the "Company") (TSX:HCG) today announced it has received a statement of claim issued by Marc Cohodes, who opted out of a global settlement of the securities class action in 2017 with Home Capital. The claim is based on allegations of misrepresentations and oppressive conduct and seeks $4 million in damages.

As described in the claim, Mr. Cohodes built a short position in Home Capital in 2014. Mr. Cohodes claims to have altered his investment strategy, covering at least some of his short position between March and June of 2015.

Holders of 1,717,600 common shares eligible for the global settlement opted out of the settlement in 2017. The claim by Mr. Cohodes relates to 91,800 of those shares. Including this claim, the Company has now received claims from parties representing 1,717,400 of the common shares eligible for the global settlement whose owners opted out of the settlement.
