Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, P.L.L.C. Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against MF Global, Ltd. Tuesday March 18, 5:22 pm ET WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The law firm of Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, P.L.L.C. announced today that it has filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of MF Global, Ltd. common stock (âMF Globalâ or âthe Companyâ) (NYSE:MF - News) in its Initial Public Offering on July 19, 2007 and on the open market through February 28, 2008 (the âClass Periodâ). The complaint asserts claims against defendants MF Global, Man Group plc, Kevin R. Davis, Amy S. Butte, Alison J. Carnwath, Christopher J. Smith, Christopher Bates, Henri J. Steenkamp, and Edward L. Goldberg for violations of Sections 11, 12(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the IPO was materially false and misleading. Specifically, the Registration Statement and Prospectus did not disclose the weaknesses of the Companyâs risk management policies, procedures, and systems. As a result of these weaknesses, MF Global disclosed on February 28, 2008 that the unauthorized trading activity of one of its employees had caused the Company to incur a loss of $141.5 million. In response to this news, the price of MF Globalâs common stock fell 40%, resulting in a loss to shareholders of more than $1,142,000,000.
