Ithaca Energy has agreed to settle CAD $9M with investors to resolve claims that it misled the market about delays and modifications to its FPF-1 Floating Production Facility.

Outline:

Ithaca Energy made statements in 2014 and 2015 about projected production and revenue from the Greater Stella Area. Investors later alleged the company failed to disclose that the FPF-1 required significant modifications that delayed deployment. As the impact of those issues became known, the stock fell and investors filed suit. Ithaca later agreed to a CAD $9 million settlement to resolve the claims.

Timeline:
October 9, 2014: Investors began purchasing Ithaca common shares during the period covered by the allegations.
February 24, 2015: Trading closed with investors still holding shares later claimed to be affected by misrepresentations.
May 26, 2015: A proposed class action was filed in the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta alleging false or misleading statements about FPF-1 modifications and production forecasts.
June 24, 2019: The Court issued a ruling addressing the burden on shareholders seeking leave to proceed with statutory secondary market claims.
April 21, 2025: The parties reached a CAD $9 million settlement agreement, pending court approval.
Background:

Ithaca Energy operated offshore oil and gas assets in the UK North Sea, with the Greater Stella Area described as a key growth project. The company’s development plans depended heavily on the FPF-1 Floating Production Facility, which it had acquired and was modifying to process oil and gas from multiple fields.

Between late 2014 and early 2015, Ithaca issued statements and filed documents projecting strong production and revenue from the Greater Stella Area. Investors later alleged that the company failed to disclose that the FPF-1 required more extensive modifications than originally expected.

According to the claims, the additional work delayed the vessel's deployment and undermined the company’s production timeline. Investors alleged that these issues showed Ithaca’s earlier statements about operational readiness and the revenue outlook were misleading.

A proposed class action was filed in Alberta in May 2015, and the litigation later continued through a significant 2019 court ruling and discovery. In April 2025, the parties agreed to a CAD $9 million settlement to resolve the claims, subject to court approval.
