On March 10, 2011, lead plaintiffs in an investor class action against Credit Suisse Group AG and related individual defendants filed an unopposed motion in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York asking Judge Marrero to preliminarily approve a $70 million settlement in that action on behalf of all defendants. The investors had sued Credit Suisse for claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, alleging that Credit Suisse had inflated its stock price by falsely representing to investors that the firm was successful in limiting the risk and losses of its RMBS and CDOs from the subprime and credit crises because it had exceptional risk management practices and internal controls. The proposed settlement class includes all purchasers of Credit Suisse American Depository Shares on the NYSE and all US residents who purchased Credit Suisse common stock on the Swiss Stock Exchange from February 15, 2007 through April 14, 2008 who have not otherwise timely opted out of the class. Notice. Settlement Agreement. Second Amended Class Complaint.
