Co-Lead Counsel Announce Preliminary Global Settlement Framework on Behalf of All American Corn Farmers

Following the $217.7 million verdict on behalf of Kansas corn farmers, Co-Lead Class Counsel can confirm a preliminary global settlement framework for all American corn farmers and certain non-producers.  Although this is not a final settlement, we will continue negotiations with Syngenta on a final settlement agreement that ultimately must be submitted to the Court for consideration and approval. These negotiations are likely to continue over the next several weeks.

Co-Lead Class Counsel are William Chaney of Gray Reed & McGraw LLP, Patrick Stueve of Stueve Siegel Hanson LLP, Don Downing of Gray, Ritter & Graham, P.C., and Scott Powell of Hare, Wynn, Newell, & Newton.
