DORAL FINANCIAL INVESTIGATION INITIATED BY FORMER LOUISIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates Doral Financial Corporation Following Disclosure of FDIC Ruling Forcing Revised Capital Plan


NEW ORLEANS --(Business Wire)--

Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Doral Financial Corporation (NYSE: DRL).

On May 1, 2014, Doral, the holding company for Doral Bank, which has operations in the United States and Puerto Rico, announced that it is in the process of developing a revised capital plan intended to enable the Company to remain in compliance with the requirements of its regulators. Among other things, this revised plan is intended to address a recent determination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") regarding the treatment of tax receivables from the Government of Puerto Rico, which represent approximately 43% of its assets. The FDIC ruled that Doral may no longer include in its calculation of its Tier 1 Capital some orall of the tax receivables from the Government of Puerto Rico. The revised plan "may include a sale of certain performing and non-performing assets and businesses and a modification of [Doral's] capital structure."



Since this news the price of Doral's shares declined by over 60%.

KSF's investigation is focusing on whether Doral and/or its officers and directors violated state or federal securities laws.
