On February 4, 2011, plaintiffs in In re Barclays Bank PLC Securities Litigation (S.D.N.Y.) filed a motion asking Judge Crotty to reconsider his January 5, 2011 order which rmbss’ claims against defendants without granting leave to amend. Plaintiffs assert claims under Sections 11, 12(a) and 15 of the Securities Act on behalf of a putative class of investors who acquired Barclays’s preferred securities between 2006 and 2008 pursuant or traceable to registration statements and prospectuses that plaintiffs allege did not properly account for or adequately disclose Barclay’s liabilities and risks related to RMBS and other CDOs. Judge Crotty previously granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the relevant claims on the grounds that plaintiffs failed to adequately allege that the defendants did not honestly believe their estimates of the RMBS and CDO liabilities or that any of the lead plaintiffs had purchased the relevant securities prior to Barclays’s “adequate disclosure” of the risks in August 2008. In their motion to reconsider, plaintiffs seek leave to amend their consolidated complaint and reinstate certain claims by adding allegations that the defendants did not believe their disclosures on the value of the liabilities and adding two new plaintiffs who allegedly purchased the relevant securities prior to the August 2008 disclosures. Motion and Proposed Amended Complaint. Jan. 5 Decision.
