SECURITIES LITIGATION WEBSITE
This is a securities class action arising out of the collapse of MF Global Holdings Limited (“MF Global”) in October 2011. The Action was brought by investors alleging that Defendants violated the federal securities laws by, among other things, making false and misleading statements regarding MF Global or were statutorily liable for false and misleading statements in MF Global’s offering materials for certain MF Global securities.
The Action Has Been Resolved Through Five Separate Settlements

On November 25, 2015, the Court finally approved two additional partial settlements that Lead Plaintiffs reached with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the outside auditor of MF Global, for $65 million on behalf of the PwC Settlement Class, and with certain officers and directors of MF Global (the “Individual Defendants”) for $64.5 million on behalf of the Individual Defendant Settlement Class.
