SEC VW Distribution Fund May Pay Volkswagen Bond Investors

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has announced that investors who held Volkswagen Group of America Finance, LLC 144A bonds may be eligible to receive payments from a court-supervised distribution fund tied to the agency's "clean diesel" enforcement action against Volkswagen.
The fund stems from SEC litigation captioned United States Securities and Exchange Commission v. Volkswagen "Clean Diesel" Marketing, Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation.
