On May 29, 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), acting as conservator for Freddie Mac, filed a summons with notice in New York state court against DB Structured Products. The FHFA purports to sue derivatively on behalf of the Trustee of a particular RMBS trust that issued certificates purchased by Freddie Mac. The FHFA alleges that DBSP breached its contractual representations and warranties concerning the underlying mortgage loan originators’ compliance with underwriting guidelines, the absence of errors or fraud in the origination process, the loans’ compliance with federal, state, and local laws, the accuracy of loan-level data provided to rating agencies, and other loan-related characteristics. The FHFA seeks specific performance of DBSP’s repurchase obligations under the relevant contracts. Summons.
