Keller Rohrback L.L.P. and Lockridge Grindal Nauen P.L.L.P. Announce ERISA Class
Action Filed Regarding the Retirement Plan for Employees of Augsburg Fortress
Publishers, Publishing House of the ELCA

SEATTLE, April 22, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Keller Rohrback L.L.P.
(www.erisafraud.com) and Lockridge Grindal Nauen P.L.L.P. (www.locklaw.com)
announce that the firms have filed an ERISA class action complaint on behalf of
a class of all persons who were participants in or beneficiaries of the
Retirement Plan for Employees of Augsburg Fortress Publishers, Publishing House
of the ELCA ("Plan"), from January 1, 2000 to the present ("Class Period").

Recently, Publishing House of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which
does business as Augsburg Fortress Publisher, announced that it was terminating
the Plan and that the Plan had been underfunded for nine years. Plaintiffs
allege that the Plan is not a "church plan" exempted from ERISA and therefore
the participants in the Plan should have the same protections ERISA extends to
plan participants generally.

The complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court for the
District of Minnesota, alleges that during the Class Period, Defendants breached
their duties under ERISA, or alternatively under state law, by among other
things: (1) failing to adequately fund the Plan; (2) failing to prudently and
loyally manage the Plan's assets; (3) failing to disclose necessary information
to co-fiduciaries and participants; and (4) breaching their contractual and
trust-law duties to the participants.

Employees of Augsburg Fortress Publishers, Publishing House of the ELCA, and you
