Case name: LIBOR Bondholder Settlement

Settlement fund: $68,625,000

Claim filing deadline: 12/28/2020

Class period: 8/1/2007 - 5/31/2010

Securities and antitrust settlements are a tricky, tedious distraction for most investment managers, and unfortunately, the upcoming $68.625 Million LIBOR Bondholder settlement is trickier than most. Whether you are providing notice for your clients or filing claims for them, (or both), you will face several hurdles unique to this settlement:

• --There are over 45,000 eligible CUSIPs "not limited to" bonds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, government bonds, asset backed securities, residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and collateralized loan obligations;
• 
  
• --A confidentiality agreement is required to view or use this CUSIP list in any way. Whether you are a broker trying to comply with a court direction to provide notice or an investment manager filing claims for your clients, everyone in your firm who might use this list in any way-- from data management to customer service--could be obliged to sign a separate agreement;
• 
  
• --The claim form requires you to identify each of the 45,000 eligible bonds in each claim "that have been the subject of a release of claims" and that "have received any payment in connection with the litigation or settlement of any actions or claims."
• 
  
• --The relevant data is old: the class period begins nearly 13 years ago.
•
