This excerpt taken from the C 8-K filed Oct 13, 2009.
ERISA Actions: Fourteen putative class actions have been filed in the Southern District of New York asserting claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) against Citigroup and certain Citigroup employees alleged to have served as ERISA plan fiduciaries. On January 22, 2008, 13 of these actions were consolidated under the caption IN RE CITIGROUP ERISA LITIGATION, and lead plaintiff and counsel were appointed. On December 16, 2008, the fourteenth action was consolidated into this litigation.

 

On September 15, 2008, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on behalf of a purported class of participants in Citigroup-sponsored ERISA plans from January 1, 2007 through January 15, 2008. The complaint alleges that defendants offered Citigroup’s common stock as an investment option in the Company’s 401(k) plans when it was no longer prudent to do so, and that defendants failed adequately to disclose Citigroup’s subprime exposure to ERISA plan beneficiaries. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on November 21, 2008.
