Citigroup Securities Class Action Settlement
By Kimberly Mirando
Â
Citigroup, Inc. has reached a $590 million class action lawsuit settlement with shareholders to resolve allegations it committed securities fraud. If you purchased Citigroup common stock (NYSE: C) between February 26, 2007 and April 18, 2008, you may be covered by the Citigroup class action settlement.
The Citigroup securities settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, titled In Re: Citigroup, Inc. Securities Litigation, that alleges Citigroup and certain officers and directors violated the federal Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by misrepresenting Citigroup’s exposure to collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs), as well as the value of those CDOs, during the Class Period.
Plaintiffs in the Citigroup securities class action lawsuit alleged Citigroup was aware of both the size of Citigroup’s CDO holdings and their impairment before either of these matters were disclosed to the public, and that public disclosure regarding Citigroup’s CDO exposures caused the price of Citigroup common stock to decline.
Citigroup denies any wrongdoing, but has agreed to establish a $590 million class action lawsuit settlement fund to pay out shareholders and resolve the litigation.
Class Members of the Citigroup securities class action settlement include anyone who purchased or otherwise acquired common stock of Citigroup, Inc. between February 26, 2007 and April 18, 2008, inclusive.
Class Members that submit a timely and valid Claim Form will receive approximately $0.19 per eligible share they purchased. However, this number is based on all Class Members filing a claim, which is highly unlikely. Therefore, the amount of money you could recover from the Citigroup stock settlement will likely be much more.
The only way to receive money from the Citigroup securities class action settlement is to submit a valid Claim Form no later than February 7, 2013.

How do I find out how many shares I had at that time
I had 9600 shares of Citigroup stock in my IRA during this period. I still have the stock in my IRA. Would I be considered elgible to file a claim. Thank you.
I was given 16 sghares of Citi Bank stock while employed at a citi bank call center. This was in 2003 through 2005. The stock was taken back and I was told it was sold. There’s one share left and I’m not sure what will come regarding it. And lastly, I purchased five shares of Citi Bank Common stock between 2005 and 2007. This stock was also sold without my request or input and I was sent a $23 check as payment. None of these occurrances were with my approval. Please tell me if there is anything I can do to address these concerns. Thank You.
