Del Monte, Barclays Settle Lawsuit

Del Monte Corp. and Barclays Capital have agreed to pay $89.4 million to shareholders to settle a lawsuit stemming from the company’s $4 billion takeover. Investors claimed that Barclays, in advising Del Monte on the sale, had a conflict of interest because it was also arranging financing for the private equity buyers in the deal. KKR led the consortium of investors who bought the company earlier this year.
