ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN HOLDING L.P. (NYSE:AB) Files An 8-K Other Events
During the first quarter of 2012, AllianceBernstein L.P. (“AB”) received a legal letter of claim (“Letter of Claim”) sent on behalf of Philips Pension Trustees Limited and Philips Electronics U.K. Limited (“Philips”), a former pension fund client, alleging that AllianceBernstein Limited (one of AB’s subsidiaries organized in the U.K.) was negligent and failed to meet certain applicable standards of care with respect to the initial investment in, and management of, a £500 million portfolio of U.S. mortgage-backed securities. Philips alleged damages ranging between $177 million and $234 million, plus compound interest on an alleged $125 million of realized losses in the portfolio. On January 2, 2014, Philips filed a claim form in the High Court of Justice in London, England, which formally commenced litigation with respect to the allegations in the Letter of Claim.
By agreement dated November 28, 2016, the terms of which are confidential, this matter was settled. We expect that AB will recover its contribution to the settlement amount from its relevant insurance carriers.
