Outcome brief
OKR: the Venture Fund goes to its two largest investors
On September 11, 2026 Justice Kuntz approved the sale of the companies that run Old Kent Road Financial Venture Fund I to a vehicle controlled by its two largest investors, for no cash and contingent notes paying 15% of future realizations up to a cap the monitor puts at $412,552.93, and released the fund's four entities from the OKR CCAA.
Case update
OKR: who gets to use what the monitor compels
In July the court gave PwC power to examine anyone under oath about the OKR funds, and took away the right to refuse an answer on the ground that it might establish civil liability. Two defendants have now asked that the implied undertaking rule apply to what they say — because the monitor's litigation counsel is also the firm suing them.
