Ann: Empire's Response to ERM's Release o, page-8

re: Ann: Empire's Response to ERM's R... Regarding that announcement,
Does that mean that the only reason defamation proceedings against Darren Watson,Susie Devereux and Eddie Smith are proceeding is, to as a result of their actions recoup perceived losses to Ego shareholders in regard to Ego's current shareprice.
If I am reading it correctly I would like to move that all such proceedings are ceased forthwith.
Just my opinion.
