On November 14, 2016, plaintiff Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB“) and defendants RBS Securities Inc., RBS Acceptance, Inc., RBS Financial Products, Inc., and RBS Holdings, USA (Inc.) (together, “RBS“) filed a joint stipulation seeking the dismissal of certain securities fraud claims alleged by FHLBB in connection with the marketing and sale of 10 RMBS certificates. The stipulation of dismissal does not affect FHLBB’s claims against RBS arising from the sale of two other RMBS certificates, or FHLBB’s claims against any other defendant. FHLBB brought this litigation against RBS and dozens of other defendants in 2011, alleging violations of Massachusetts securities laws and claiming the defendants made untrue statements and omitted material facts about the quality of the loan pools underlying the securities. Further details of the dismissal are not publicly available. Stipulation.
