On March 8, 2018, The Court entered into an agreement, preliminary approving the proposed settlement of $30 million by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (“BTMU”) and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (“MUTB”). This settlement resolves allegations that defendants manipulated the Yen-LIBOR and Euroyen TIBOR benchmark rates and the prices of Euroyen-based derivatives between January 1, 2006 and June 30, 2011.

The Claims Administrator recently imposed a claims filing deadline of September 25, 2018, to file claims in this settlement. If you purchased, sold, held, traded, or otherwise had any interest in Euroyen-Based Derivatives at any time during the relevant period, please reach out to your FRT Account Manager to discuss your filing options.

The two Mitsubishi banks join four other banks – Citigroup ($23m), HSBC Holdings PLC and HSB Bank PLC ($35m), J.P. Morgan ($77m) and Deutsche Bank ($71m) who had previously settled with affected investors last year. This brings the settlement pool to $236 million, and the total number of settled bank defendants to five. Outstanding claims remain against 20+ non-settling defendants.

IMPORTANT DATES AND DEADLINES

  • June 7, 2018: Opt-Out Deadline – deadline for submitting Requests for Exclusion
  • July 12, 2018: Fairness Hearing
  • September 25, 2018: Claims Filing Deadline – deadline for submitting Claim Forms

FRT will continue to monitor for other settling defendants and key dates that impact this Antitrust case.
