Evergreen and its three affiliates will pay $28.5 million in disgorgement and a total of $4 million in civil penalties after the Securities and Exchange Commission alleged that certain shareholders were allowed to market-time and engage in excessive exchange activity in the Evergreen family of mutual funds. William M. Ennis, a former officer of Evergreen will pay $1 in disgorgement and a $150,000 civil penalty.
