In December 2014, Phoenix Light SFLimited (Phoenix Light) and certain related entities filed a complaint in theUnited States District Court for the Southern District of New York allegingclaims against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as trustee for a numberof residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) trusts. Complaints raisingsimilar allegations have been filed by Commerzbank AG in the Southern Districtof New York, IKB International and IKB Deutsche Industriebank (together, IKB)in New York state court, and Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC in New Yorkstate court. In each case, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,as trustee, caused losses to investors, and plaintiffs assert causes of actionbased upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify andenforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breachesof representations and warranties, notify investors of alleged events ofdefault, and abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events ofdefault. In July 2022, the district court dismissed Phoenix Light’s claims andcertain of the claims asserted by Commerzbank AG, and subsequently enteredjudgment in each case in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. In August 2022,Phoenix Light and Commerzbank AG each appealed the district court’s decision tothe United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Phoenix Lightdismissed its appeal in May 2023, terminating its case. In November 2023, WellsFargo Bank, N.A. entered into an agreement with IKB to resolve IKB’s claims.Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. previously settled two class actions filed by institutionalinvestors and an action filed by the National Credit Union Administration withsimilar allegations.

U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) and other largefinancial institutions have been sued in their capacity as trustee or successortrustee for certain residential mortgage backed securities ("RMBS")trusts.  The complaints, primarily filed by investors or investor groupsagainst U.S. Bank and similar institutions, allege the trustees caused lossesto investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loansellers and servicers to comply with the governing agreements for these RMBStrusts.  Plaintiffs generally assert causes of action based upon thetrustees’ purported failures to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loansellers for alleged breaches of representations and warranties, notifysecurityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches ofservicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and abide by a heightenedstandard of care following alleged events of default.  

U.S. Bank denies liability and believes that it has performedits obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were notthe cause of losses to investors, that it has meritorious defenses, and it hascontested and intends to continue contesting the plaintiffs’ claimsvigorously.  However, U.S. Bank cannot assure you as to the outcome of anyof the litigation, or the possible impact of these litigations on the trusteeor the RMBS trusts.  

On March 9, 2018, a law firm purporting to represent fifteenDelaware statutory trusts (the “DSTs”) that issued securities backed by studentloans (the “Student Loans”) filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chanceryagainst U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) in its capacities asindenture trustee and successor special servicer, and three other institutionsin their respective transaction capacities, with respect to the DSTs and theStudent Loans.  This lawsuit is captioned The National Collegiate Student LoanMaster Trust I, et al. v. U.S. Bank National Association, et al., C.A. No.2018-0167-JRS (Del. Ch.) (the “NCMSLT Action”).  The complaint, as amendedon June 15, 2018, alleged that the DSTs have been harmed as a result ofpurported misconduct or omissions by the defendants concerning administrationof the trusts and special servicing of the Student Loans.  Since thefiling of the NCMSLT Action, certain Student Loan borrowers have madeassertions against U.S. Bank concerning special servicing that appear to bebased on certain allegations made on behalf of the DSTs in the NCMSLT Action.

U.S. Bank has filed a motion seeking dismissal of theoperative complaint in its entirety with prejudice pursuant to Chancery CourtRules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) or, in the alternative, a stay of the case whileother prior filed disputes involving the DSTs and the Student Loans arelitigated.  On November 7, 2018, the Court ruled that the case should bestayed in its entirety pending resolution of the first-filed cases.  OnJanuary 21, 2020, the Court entered an order consolidating for pretrialpurposes the NCMSLT Action and three other lawsuits pending in the DelawareCourt of Chancery concerning the DSTs and the Student Loans, which remainspending.  

U.S. Bank denies liability in the NCMSLT Action and believesit has performed its obligations as indenture trustee and special servicer ingood faith and in compliance in all material respects with the terms of theagreements governing the DSTs and that it has meritorious defenses.  Ithas contested and intends to continue contesting the plaintiffs’ claimsvigorously.  

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”) and Deutsche Bank National TrustCompany (“DBNTC”) have been sued by investors in civil litigation concerningtheir role as trustees of certain residential mortgage-backed securities(“RMBS”) trusts. 

 

On June 18, 2014, a group of investors, including fundsmanaged by Blackrock Advisors, LLC, PIMCO-Advisors, L.P., and others, filed anaction against DBNTC and DBTCA in New York State Supreme Court alleging thatDBNTC and DBTCA failed to perform purported duties, as trustees for 544private-label RMBS trusts, to enforce breaches of representations andwarranties as to mortgage loans held by the trusts and to enforce breaches byservicers of their mortgage loan servicing obligations for the trusts. During the course of the litigation, plaintiffs dismissed the case from NewYork State Supreme Court and refiled two separate cases, one in the U.S.District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “BlackRock SDNYCase”) and the other in the Superior Court of California, Orange County (the“BlackRock California Case”).  Pursuant to a settlement among the parties,the BlackRock SDNY Case was dismissed on December 6, 2018, and the BlackRockCalifornia Case was dismissed on January 11, 2019.

 

On September 27, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by certain special purpose entities including Phoenix Light SFLimited in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, inwhich the plaintiffs previously alleged incorrectly that DBNTC served astrustee for all 43 of the trusts at issue.  On September 27, 2017,plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint that names DBTCA as a defendant inaddition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves as trustee for one of the 43 trusts atissue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for the other 42 trusts at issue. Plaintiffs’ third amended complaint brings claims for violation of the U.S.Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”); breach of contract; breach of fiduciaryduty; negligence and gross negligence; violation of New York’s Streit Act; andbreach of the covenant of good faith.  However, in the third amendedcomplaint, plaintiffs acknowledge that, before DBTCA was added to the case, thecourt dismissed plaintiffs’ TIA Act claims, negligence and gross negligenceclaims, Streit Act claims, claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, andcertain theories of plaintiffs’ breach of contract claims, and plaintiffs onlyinclude these claims to preserve any rights on appeal.  Plaintiffs allegedamages of “hundreds of millions of dollars.”  On November 13, 2017, DBNTCand DBTCA filed an answer to the third amended complaint.  On December 7,2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment.  Also onDecember 7, 2018, plaintiffs, jointly with Commerzbank AG (see description ofCommerzbank case below), filed a motion for partial summary judgment.  OnOctober 27, 2021, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a supplemental motion for summaryjudgment relating to plaintiffs’ standing.  On February 8, 2022, the courtissued an order in which it granted DBNTC and DBTCA’s supplemental motion forsummary judgment, granted in part DBNTC and DBTCA’s initial motion for summaryjudgment, and denied plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment.  Asa result of that order, all of plaintiffs’ claims were dismissed withprejudice. On April 26, 2023, the United States Court of Appeals for the SecondCircuit affirmed the court’s summary judgment order.

 

On November 30, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by Commerzbank AG (“Commerzbank”) in the U.S. District Court forthe Southern District of New York, in which Commerzbank previously allegedincorrectly that DBNTC served as trustee for all 50 of the trusts atissue.  On November 30, 2017, Commerzbank filed a second amended complaintthat names DBTCA as a defendant in addition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves astrustee for 1 of the 50 trusts at issue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for theother 49 trusts at issue.  Commerzbank’s second amended complaint bringsclaims for violation of the TIA; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty;negligence; violation of the Streit Act; and breach of the covenant of goodfaith.  However, in the second amended complaint, Commerzbank acknowledgesthat, before DBTCA was added to the case, the court dismissed Commerzbank’s TIAclaims for the trusts governed by pooling and servicing agreements, as well asits Streit Act claims and claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, andCommerzbank only includes these claims to preserve any rights on appeal. The second amended complaint alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA caused Commerzbank tosuffer “hundreds of millions of dollars in losses,” but the complaint does notinclude a demand for money damages in a sum certain.  On January 29, 2018,DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to the second amended complaint.  OnDecember 7, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment. Also on December 7, 2018, Commerzbank, jointly with the Phoenix Lightplaintiffs, filed a motion for partial summary judgment.  On February 8,2022, the court issued an order in which it granted in part DBNTC and DBTCA’smotion for summary judgment and denied plaintiffs’ motion for partial summaryjudgment.  As a result of that order, many of plaintiffs’ claims andtheories were dismissed with prejudice.  Discovery is ongoing.

 

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. in Liquidationand IKB Deutsche Industriebank A.G. (collectively, “IKB”), as an investor in 37RMBS trusts, filed a summons with notice in the Supreme Court of the State ofNew York, New York County, against DBNTC and DBTCA as trustees of thetrusts.  On May 27, 2016, IKB served its complaint asserting claims forbreach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflictsof interest, violation of the Streit Act, violation of the TIA, violation ofRegulation AB, and violation of Section 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. IKB alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA are liable for over U.S. $268 million indamages.  On October 5, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA, together with several othertrustees defending lawsuits by IKB, filed a joint motion to dismiss.  OnJanuary 6, 2017 and June 20, 2017, IKB voluntarily dismissed with prejudice allclaims as to seven trusts.  On January 27, 2021, the court granted in partand denied in part DBNTC and DBTCA’s motion to dismiss.  The court grantedthe motion to dismiss with respect to IKB’s claims for violations of the StreitAct, Regulation AB, and Section 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as well ascertain aspects of IKB’s claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciaryduty, and violation of the TIA.  The court denied the remainder of themotion to dismiss.  IKB’s remaining claims for breach of contract, breachof fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest, and violationof the TIA will proceed.  On May 10, 2021, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a noticeof appeal with the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division, First Department,regarding certain aspects of the court’s order on the motion to dismiss. On May 20, 2021, IKB filed a notice of cross appeal with respect to otheraspects of that order.  On August 30, 2022, the New York Supreme Court,Appellate Division, First Department affirmed in part and reversed in part thecourt’s order on the motion to dismiss.  After DBNTC and DBTCA appealedthe First Department’s decision, on June 15, 2023, the New York Court ofAppeals reversed the First Department’s decision in part, dismissing certainadditional contract claims, as well as IKB’s claims for breach of fiduciaryduty and breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest.
