Calliden in legal joust with Aussie Unity

Calliden Group has commenced legal proceedings over last year’s $62.5 million purchase of Australian Unity’s general insurance business.

In last week’s statement to the Australian Stock Exchange, Calliden claims Australian Unity owes it $3-$4 million due to a shift in asset value between purchase agreement and completion.

Calliden says the adjustment is outlined under terms of a share sale deed, and is based on actuary calculations. Australian Unity, which disputes the claim, has a 13% stake in Calliden Group.

Proceedings were issued in the NSW Supreme Court last Monday.

Calliden did not respond to calls from insuranceNEWS.com.au for comment.
