Media WASHINGTON—Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DE / NYSE: DB) announced today that it has
reached an agreement to resolve its residential mortgage-backed
securities litigation with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) as
conservator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As part of the agreement,
Deutsche Bank will pay $1.9 billion.
The FHFA made claims
against 17 financial institutions in relation to residential
mortgage-backed securities, including Deutsche Bank.
The settlement agreement does not release Deutsche Bank from any claims relating to LIBOR manipulation and does not include claims made against Deutsche Bank in two other PLS lawsuits presently the subject of ongoing litigation: FHFA v. SC Americas, Inc., et. al., and FHFA v. Countrywide Financial Corp., et. al. The other parties to those lawsuits were not part of the negotiations with Deutsche Bank.
