This excerpt taken from the C 8-K filed Oct 13, 2009. AIG. Beginning in October 2008, four putative class actions were filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by
American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) investors and shareholders.
These actions allege violations of Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities
Act of 1933 arising out of allegedly false and misleading statements contained
in the registration statements and prospectuses issued in connection with
offerings of AIG debt securities and common stock, some of which were
underwritten by CGMI.
Public Nuisance and Related Actions. City of Cleveland v. Ameriquest Mortgage Securities, Inc.: On January 10, 2008, the City of Cleveland, Ohio sued Citigroup, along with a number of other financial institutions, alleging that defendants’ real estate lending activities constitute a public nuisance under Ohio common law. On October 8, 2008, the City of Cleveland filed a second amended complaint against numerous financial institutions, including CGMI and Citibank, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on November 24, 2008.
On September 30, 2008, Citibank, N.A. voluntarily dismissed its federal action against the City of Cleveland, Ohio seeking declaratory and injunctive relief on the ground that the City of Cleveland’s public nuisance claim, asserted in a separate action, is preempted by federal law and may not be asserted against national banks and their operating subsidiaries.
