Section 8 - Other Events
Item 8.01 - Other Events
On October 20, 2004, the United States District Court of Kansas
preliminarily approved the settlement of two cases pending against
TransFinancial Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and its directors. The cases,
filed in 2000 and 2001, generally alleged that certain actions of the Company
and its directors violated their obligations to stockholders. These cases
are described under "Item 3, Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The Company
sold its last remaining operations and began liquidation procedures in 2002,
and since that time has been involved solely in winding up its affairs and
defending these cases. Notice of the terms of the settlement will be mailed
and otherwise provided to stockholders in late November, 2004. The Company
will not receive any funds under the settlement.
Completion of the settlement remains subject to the satisfaction of
several conditions. It is expected that final approval of the settlement may
be obtained in the first quarter of 2005.
