The Settlement resolves claims in the action that BoA’s investors were misled about the Company’s exposure to billions of dollars in repurchase claims stemming from mortgages securitized and sold into the marketplace as residential mortgage-backed securities , and about risks arising from the Company’s reliance on an allegedly inadequate mortgage processing and tracking system known as “MERS”; provide a cash payment to Class members who timely submitted valid claims and are otherwise entitled to such a payment; and release the Defendants from liability.
To be eligible to receive a payment under the Settlement, you must have submitted a valid proof of claim establishing your membership in the Class along with all required documentation on or before the claim filing deadline of November 14, 2016.
