The latest announcement is out from Income Asset Management Group Limited ( (AU:IAM) ).

Income Asset Management Group has reached a mediated commercial settlement with BGC to resolve all disputes arising from the 2020 hiring of five former BGC employees, now senior members of IAM’s management team. Under the agreement, IAM will pay A$1.9 million by the end of April 2026, without admission of liability, bringing to an end litigation that the company says had become costly, distracting and uncertain, and allowing key leaders to focus fully on growing the business. IAM has notified its insurer regarding the settlement and continues discussions on separate insurance claims related to historic fraudulent activity, while director and substantial shareholder Jim Simpson has committed an unsecured, specific-use liquidity facility to ensure the company can meet the settlement obligation if needed, though the board currently expects to fund the payment from existing resources.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:IAM) stock is a Hold with a A$0.03 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Income Asset Management Group Limited stock, see the AU:IAM Stock Forecast page.
