Update – Legal Action by City of Chicago
Further to the Company’s ASX announcement on 31 August 2015, Redflex Holdings Limited (Company) has
been notified that the City of Chicago (City) has filed an amended civil complaint in this matter with the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (after the matter was transferred from the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois).
The amended complaint adds the Company as a defendant, along with Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. (RTSI). The
City also alleges claims for civil damages against the Company and RTSI for alleged violations of the City’s false
claims and false statement ordinances and consumer fraud laws, breach of contract, civil conspiracy, violation of
kickback laws and unjust enrichment.
The City claims civil damages against the Company being treble the amount the City alleges it paid to RTSI
under the now terminated contract with the City (i.e. three times approximately USD$125.9 million). Civil
penalties are sought in addition to the alleged damages as well as restitution, disgorgement of alleged “ill-gotten”
profits, recovery of alleged unjust enrichment and consequential damages.
Both the Company and RTSI will, in defending this legal action, make use of all available legal defences.
A senior City of Chicago official, Mr John Bills, will stand trial in the United States in January 2016 charged on
indictment with several offences including nine counts of mail fraud, three counts of wire fraud, three counts of
federal program bribery, three counts of filing a false federal income tax return and one count each of extortion
and conspiracy to commit federal program bribery.
Ms Karen Finley, a former RTSI CEO, is scheduled to be sentenced on February 18, 2016. Ms Finley faces a
maximum sentence of 5 years in prison, a maximum fine of USD$250,000 or twice the gross gain or gross loss
from the offence, and mandatory restitution.
