LONDON, June 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

On June 18, 2013, a shareholder derivative action was filed in United States District Court - Southern District of New York - against the current and former directors of Tetragon Financial Group Limited and Tetragon Financial Group Master Fund Limited (together, "TFG"), TFG's investment manager, the principals of TFG's investment manager and other affiliated entities by a purported shareholder of Tetragon Financial Group Limited (the "Action").

The Action makes a series of allegations including with respect to the October 2012 acquisition by TFG of Polygon Management L.P. and asks, amongst other things, for money damages and equitable relief against the defendants, including the termination of the investment management agreement among TFG and its investment manager.

TFG and its board of directors believe that the Action is factually and legally without merit and intend to seek to have the Action dismissed as quickly as possible.
