Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously reported, on July 15, 2013 four named plaintiffs filed a petition in the Canadian Province of Quebec, in the district of Mégantic, seeking permission from the court to pursue a class action seeking to recover compensatory and punitive damages along with costs. On June 18, 2014, the plaintiffs sought permission to discontinue the class action proceedings with respect to Dakota Plains Holdings, Inc. and each of its subsidiaries, Dakota Plains Marketing, LLC and Dakota Plains Transloading, LLC. On the same day, the Justice Bureau of the Quebec Superior Court granted permission for the discontinuance and, consequently, each of those entities have been removed from the class action proceeding.
