TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jun 16, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Dundee Capital Markets Inc. (the "Company")
today addresses recent news releases by two Canadian law firms who have commenced class action law suits in Ontario and Quebec on behalf of Sino-Forest Corporation ("Sino-Forest") shareholders alleging securities law violations by Sino-Forest, some of its officers and directors, its auditors, and its underwriters. As a member of the underwriting syndicates for the public equity offerings, the Company understands that it is effectively named in at least one law suit.
