DENVER, Colorado, Aug. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Two Rivers Water & Farming Company (“Two Rivers” OTCQB: TURV) is pleased to announce that last week it settled a lawsuit that had been brought by Suncanna, LLC and Aaron Van Wingerden with a full release for all parties in the litigation.
On August 14, 2018, the District Court, Pueblo County, Colorado, entered a judgment enforcing the terms of a settlement agreement that had been previously reached by the parties. Suncanna, the former lessee of the greenhouse owned by GrowCo Partners 1, LLC, and Aaron Van Wingerden, owner of Suncanna, were paid $500,000 by the defendants, Two Rivers, TR Capital Partners, GrowCo Partners 1, LLC, Wayne Harding, CEO and CFO of Two Rivers (the Two Rivers Parties”) and other related parties.
The Two Rivers Parties paid $30,000 as their share of the settlement. $440,000 was paid by Two Rivers insurance carrier, and the balance was paid by the other parties involved in the litigation.
“We are happy to put this legal action behind us,” commented Wayne Harding. “The suit was filed on August 31, 2016 and has distracted Two Rivers from its primary mission of developing our water assets for the benefit of our investors and the community where we have our water.”
Two Rivers is planning an investor conference call toward the end of September 2018 for an executive overview of its plans and an opportunity for investors and interested parties to ask questions.
