Business Wire
Robbins Umeda LLP announces that the firm commenced a class
action lawsuit on November 7, 2011, in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons or
entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the securities of MF
Global Holdings Ltd. ("MF Global" or the "Company") (NYSE: MF)
between May 19, 2011 and October 28, 2011 (the "Class Period"). The
action is against the Company and certain of the Company's officers
for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
MF Global was one of the world's leading brokers in markets for
commodities and listed derivatives. The Company provided access to
more than seventy exchanges globally, and was a leader by volume on
many of the world's largest derivatives exchanges. MF Global was
founded in 1981 and is based in New York, New York.
The complaint alleges that beginning on May 19, 2011, the
Company, along with certain officers at MF Global, issued a series
of materially false and misleading statements to investors designed
to deceive the market and cause shares of MF Global to trade at
artificially high prices.
In particular, the complaint alleges that officials at the
Company misrepresented and failed to disclose to investors material
adverse facts that: (1) MF Global was suffering from serious
liquidity pressures based on its exposure to the European debt
crisis; (2) MF Global's internal controls were highly deficient and
were unable to clearly segregate clients' funds; and (3) that
disclosure of MF Global's true risk profile would inevitably lead
to a credit downgrade.
On October 24, 2011, Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's")
slashed MF Global's credit rating to Baa3, or near junk status,
citing the Company's significant risk exposure to European debt.
Following this downgrade, officials at the Company attempted to
calm the market by falsely claiming that MF Global's exposure to
European debt was "sound and well-structured," and that Former
Jersey Governor, John Corzine, had bolstered the Company's
risk-management practices when he became MF Global's Chief
Executive Officer in March 2010. Then, on October 27, 2011, Moody's
and Fitch Ratings downgraded the Company's credit rating to junk
status, and shares of MF Global closed for the day at a record low
of just $1.43 per share. Finally, on October 31, 2011, MF Global
filed for Chapter 11 protection and the New York Stock Exchange
suspended trading of the Company's shares and moved to de-list the
Company altogether.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired MF Global stock during
the Class Period and wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move
the Court no later January 2, 2012. To discuss your shareholder
