Battea’s filing team has identified tens of thousands of eligible CUSIPs based on information provided by the Claims Administrator, but we request that you provide your trading data that meets the eligibility requirements defined below:

-In order to qualify for the Settlements, you must have transacted in SSA Bonds with a Defendant. Transacted means you purchased, sold, traded, assigned, novated, unwound, terminated, or exercised rights or options with respect to an SSA Bond. “SSA Bonds” include supranational, sovereign, sub-sovereign, governmental, quasi-governmental, and agency bonds or debt instruments regardless of the structure, currency, or credit quality, excluding sovereign bonds issued by governments in the sovereign’s domestic currency (e.g., U.S. Treasuries and U.K. Gilts) and bonds issued by U.S. GSEs (e.g., Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Farm Credit Banks, and Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation).

-Within Bloomberg, Class Members can find bonds likely to qualify for claims as those with “Asset Class” equal to “Corporates” and “Market Classification” equal to “Supranational, Sovereign and Agency (SSA)”.

-Within Refinitiv Eikon (formerly ThomsonOne), Class Members can find bonds likely to qualify for claims as those with “Issue Type” equal to “Agency, Supranational, Sovereign”.

-In all instances, however, a final determination of what bonds qualify is reserved as part of the final administration process. And in all instances, regardless of the search results of any or all of the above techniques, the Settlement Class excludes sovereign bonds issued by governments in the sovereign’s domestic currency (e.g., U.S. Treasuries and U.K. Gilts) and bonds issued by U.S. GSEs (e.g., Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Farm Credit Banks, and Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation.

-Threshold Requirement for Eligibility: All persons who, during the Class Period, entered into an SSA Bond Transaction with a defendant or a related party, where such persons were either domiciled in the United States or its territories or, if domiciled outside the United States or its territories, entered into an SSA Bond Transaction in the United States or its territories or that otherwise involved United States trade or commerce.

This antitrust class action concerns Defendants collusive activities to fix the prices of SSA bonds sold to and purchased from investors in the secondary market. SSA bonds are issued by a variety of international entities, including, among others: provinces and states; regional development banks; infrastructure borrowers such as highway and bridge authorities; social security funds; export creditors; and rail sector entities. International issuers sometimes issue their debt in currencies different from their local currency, including U.S. dollars, to take advantage of potentially lower all-in funding costs, as well as to broaden the potential pool of investors to which these bonds can be sold.
