UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Litigation Release No. 15262 / February 21, 1997 SEC v. James S. Faller II and Rolan Colon, (S.D. Fla., Civil Action No. 96-7125-CIV-Nesbitt) The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on January 15, 1997, the Honorable Lenore C. Nesbitt, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, entered a final judgment of permanent injunction and other relief against Rolan Colon ("Colon") enjoining him from violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. In addition to the injunctive relief, the Court ordered Colon to pay disgorgement in the amount of $17,559, plus prejudgment interest thereon, representing gains alleged to have been received by Colon following his purchase of 20,000 shares of Evro Corporation ("Evro") common stock while in possession of material non-public information concerning Evro. Colon consented to the relief without admitting or denying the allegations set forth in the complaint, filed by the Commission on September 30, 1996. The complaint alleged that Colon and his co-defendant, James S. Faller ("Faller"), while acting as consultants for Evro, caused the corporation to issue a false press statement stating that Evro had obtained a $30 million loan commitment from a European trust to finance the development and sale of Evro products. The complaint further alleged that Colon and Faller knew that the purported loan commitment was fictitious and that no such loan was ever made to Evro. The press release caused an immediate rise in the price of Evro common stock, at which time Colon sold his shares of the corporation's stock.
