NEW YORK -- Businesswire -- There are lawsuits impacting individuals and institutions that entered into over-the-counter financial derivative and non-derivative instruments directly with 17 banks and that received payments tied to U.S. Dollar LIBOR. A Settlement totaling $101 million has been reached with Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. (“Rabobank”), Lloyds Banking Group plc, Lloyds Bank plc, HBOS plc, and Bank of Scotland plc (together, “Lloyds”), Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), and Portigon AG and Westdeutsche Immobilien Servicing AG (together “Portigon”). Earlier settlements totaling $680 million were reached with Barclays, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, MUFG, Norinchukin, and SocGen bringing the total settlement amount to $781 million. The remaining Non-Settling Defendants include Bank of America, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan Chase, Royal Bank of Scotland, and UBS.
What does the Settlement provide?
The Settlement will create a Settlement Fund totaling $101 million that will be used to pay eligible Class Members who submit valid claims, as well as attorneys’ fees not to exceed one third of the gross settlement, expenses not to exceed $5,500,000, and service awards to the Class Representatives not to exceed $100,000 per Representative. Additionally, Rabobank, Lloyds, RBC, and Portigon will provide certain cooperation to the Plaintiffs in their ongoing litigation against the Non-Settling Defendants.
Am I eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement?
You are included if you (individual or entity) directly purchased certain U.S. Dollar LIBOR-based instruments from Bank of America, MUFG, Barclays, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Lloyds, Norinchukin, Rabobank, Royal Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Scotland, Société Générale, UBS, or Portigon (or their subsidiaries or affiliates) in the United States; and owned the instruments at any time between August 2007 and May 2010.

How do I get a payment from the Settlement?
You can submit a Proof of Claim online or by mail. The deadline to submit a Proof of Claim is February 10, 2024.
