Luca International Group $1.99M Affinity Fraud Fair Fund

If you invested in unregistered offerings with Luca International Group, LLC, you may be eligible to claim compensation from an established fair fund.

Luca International Group, LLC has agreed to pay $1,990,496.29 to settle allegations of affinity fraud targeting the Chinese American community and investors in Asia. This fraud involved promises of high returns from oil and gas drilling operations.

Who is eligible?

To be considered eligible for compensation, you must meet the following criteria:

• You are a U.S. investor who purchased unregistered offerings in Luca Barnett Shale Joint Venture, Luca Oil LLC, Luca To-Kalon Energy LLC, Luca I Limited Partnership, or Luca Oil II Joint Venture.
• Your investments were made between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2014.
• You have been identified by the SEC as having suffered a Recognized Loss according to the Plan of Allocation.
• You are not an excluded party.

The SEC has already identified U.S. investors eligible for compensation based on records obtained during its investigation. Therefore, no action is needed to file a claim.

Who is excluded?

• Any purchaser or assignee of another person's right to obtain recovery from the Fair Fund for value, except those who obtained such a right by gift, inheritance, or devise.
• Foreign investors in the Securities.

How much is the compensation?

The compensation amount is based on each participant's Recognized Loss, which is calculated as the sum of investments made for purchases of the Securities during the Relevant Period, minus any payments received.

If the Net Available Fair Fund is less than the sum of the Recognized Losses of all Eligible Claimants, each claimant's distribution payment will equal their Pro Rata Share of the Net Available Fair Fund.

For example, if the Net Available Fair Fund is $1,990,496.29 and the total Recognized Losses are $3,000,000, each claimant will receive approximately 66.35% of their Recognized Loss.

• Recognized Loss Calculation: Total investment during the Relevant Period minus any payments received.
• Pro Rata Share Calculation: (Individual Recognized Loss / Total Recognized Losses) \* Net Available Fair Fund.

Payment methods

Payments will be made via check mailed to the address on file.

How to file a claim?

Claimants can file a claim online on the official settlement website.

When is the Luca Fair Fund payout date?

The awards will be paid after the final approval of the distribution plan and completion of all necessary administrative tasks.

What if there are unclaimed funds?

Any remaining funds will be held in a residual for future distribution or returned to the U.S. Treasury.
