IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IN RE: 

CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

SECURITIES LITIGATION.

This Document Relates

To All Cases.

 /

No. C 08-01510 WHA

QUESTIONS FOR

ORAL ARGUMENT

No new briefs, please, but be prepared on the following at oral argument:

1. During the class period, was there any statement by defendants that failed to

disclose the full amount invested in MBS?

2. Before the change, was MBS affirmatively represented to be an “industry”?

3. What is the law whether fine print can cure otherwise misleading large print?

4. If shareholders should have been allowed to vote on the change in industry

definitions, why would subsequent purchasers be entitled to recover for not

holding an earlier vote?

5. Since the change was disclosed, why didn’t plaintiffs sue to insist on a vote back

then? Why did they wait to see how the market would turn on MBS?

6. Given the large volume of the submissions, will counsel bring to the hearing an

agreed-on set of documents limited to the key prospectuses, with all references to

the MBS issue highlighted and tagged, the stack to be in chronological order.
