Item 5. Other Events
On Friday, December 1, 2000, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois granted preliminary approval to
the proposed settlement of the consolidated shareholder class action, Stearns v. Navigant Consulting, Inc., et al., and established a
schedule leading to a hearing on March 22, 2001 with respect to the fairness and final approval of the proposed settlement.
On Thursday, November 30, 2000, the Companys shareholders reelected Peter Pond to a new three year term as a member of the Board of
Directors, and also approved the other two proxy proposals relating to certain amendments to the Companys employee stock purchase
plan and its long-term incentive plan.
On Wednesday, November 29, 2000, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by two
former officers, Stephen Denari and Charles Demirjian, who are individual defendants in the consolidated shareholder class action.
The lawsuit names as defendants the Company, three of its directors, its auditors, KPMG L.L.P., one of the Companys law firms,
Winston and Strawn and one of its insurers, Genesis Insurance Company. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief from the circuit court
prohibiting Genesis from giving up its subrogation rights against KPMG and others as provided in the proposed settlement of the
consolidated shareholder class action. The plaintiffs also seek compensatory and punitive damages in an unspecified amount from the
defendants other than Genesis based on various legal theories including defamation, conspiracy to defame, tortious interference,
breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, legal malpractice and negligent misrepresentation. The Company believes that these
claims are without merit and will defend itself vigorously.
