The Miller Law Firm, P.C. Announces Historic $970.5 Million Settlement in the AIG Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation
ROCHESTER, Mich. --(Business Wire)--
The Miller Law Firm, P.C., headquartered in Rochester, Michigan, is
pleased to announce that historic $970.5 million settlements have been
reached on behalf of its client, the State of Michigan Retirement
Systems, in the American International Group, Inc.
2008 Securities Litigation class action lawsuit pending in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Miller
Law Firm, P.C. is a lead counsel for The State of Michigan Retirement
Systems, which served as the sole court-appointed Lead Plaintiff in the
case.
If approved by the Court, the total settlement amount will be among the
largest recoveries ever achieved in a securities fraud class action
stemming from the 2008 financial crisis. It would release claims of the
members of the putative class, whih consists of all persons and funds
that purchased publicly issued common stock, corporate units, bonds,
subordinated debentures and notes of AIG from March 16, 2006 through
September 16, 2008, and were injured thereby.
E. Powell Miller stated that "This settlement represents an outstanding
result for the State of Michigan and other investors."
After the close of fact discovery in 2012, the parties agreed to
participate in several mediation sessions through Retired U.S. District
Judge Layn Phillips that culminated in the settlement just one month
after the Supreme Court's recent decision in Erica P. John Fund v.
Halliburton.
Assuming preliminary approval of the settlement, a Notice and the Proof
of Claim form will be sent to members of the class who can be identified
from AIG's records and will also be available online. Proceeds from the
settlement, if approved by the Court, will go the State of Michigan
Retirement Systems and a putative class that consists of all persons and
funds that purchased publicly issued common stock, preferred stock,
bonds and notes of AIG from March 16, 2006 through September 16, 2008,
and were injured thereby.
Miller Law attorneys E. Powell Miller, Marc L. Newman, Jayson
E. Blake, Justin B. Vandeputte and M. Ryan Jarnagin
prosecuted the action on behalf of the plaintiffs.
