CNNMoney.com – Railroad CSX Corp. said Wednesday it has settled a case of alleged securities law violations with two activist shareholder hedge funds.
If the settlement is approved by a federal court, CSX will receive $10 million from TCI, which manages The Children’s Master Investment Fund, and $1 million from 3G Capital Management.
The case, brought by a CSX shareholder, accused the hedge funds of collecting "short-swing" profits, or using insider information to nab a short-term gain. But under the settlement, the hedge funds deny any wrongdoing.
