MIAMI, Apr 22, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) —
Terremark Worldwide, Inc., a subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc., today announced that the Delaware Court of Chancery will hold a hearing on June 21 to consider the proposed settlement of litigation brought in connection with Verizon’s acquisition of Terremark.
In accordance with an April 8 scheduling order issued by the court, notice of the settlement, which was announced in February, will be mailed to all members of the settlement class, namely those persons and entities that held Terremark common stock at any point between and including October 1, 2010, and April 11, 2011.
There can be no assurance that the court will approve the settlement. If it is not approved, Terremark, Verizon and the other defendants intend to defend vigorously against the claims. All of the defendants continue to deny all allegations of wrongdoing, fault or liability made in the litigation and have entered into the settlement solely to avoid the substantial burden, expense, inconvenience and distraction of continued litigation, and to resolve the claims against them fully and finally.
