Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class
action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District
Court for the District of Puerto Rico on behalf of purchasers of
the common stock of Popular, Inc. ("Popular" or the "Company")
(NASDAQ: BPOPN) during the period between January 23, 2008 and
January 22, 2009, inclusive (the "Class Period").
No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of
the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel
chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to
represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead
plaintiff no later than July 13, 2009 and be selected by the Court.
The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in
important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and
how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The
lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the
largest loss from investment in the Company during the Class
Period. You may contact Brower Piven (through
hoffman@browerpiven.com or 410/986-0036) to answer any questions
you may have in that regard.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the Company's failure
to disclose during the Class Period that the Company's deferred tax
assets related to its U.S. operations were materially overstated;
that the Company was experiencing increasing loan losses in Puerto
Rico and the U.S. construction sectors; that the quality of the
Company's remaining mortgage-related loans in its U.S. mainland
portfolios and other assets were deteriorating and were materially
overstated; that the Company was experiencing a higher percentage
of non-performing loans; that the Company's new loan originations
were declining; and that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company
would soon be facing liquidity concerns and would be forced to cut
or eliminate paying a dividend to shareholders. According to the
complaint, on January 22, 2009, after the Company revealed a net
loss of over $700 million from, among other things, high provisions
for loan losses, for the fourth quarter of 2008, the value of
Popular's stock declined significantly.

Inc. common stock during the Class Period, you may obtain
