IMF Bentham
On 24 March, the Federal Court made orders approving the settlement of the S&P class action. No objections were made by any group member, including S&P. IMF intends to book AUD47m of profit before tax in FY16 in relation to this matter.
The settlement if completed is significantly greater than the average net revenue contribution of IMF’s historical settled cases of around AUD3m. The profit uplift of AUD47m represents up to 59% of total gross debt outstanding post bond issue, assuming a AUD30m new bond issue.
