State Street Increases Legal Reserve Established in 2007

2009-11-06 07:03 ET - News Release

Updates Q3 2009 Reported Results to Reflect Increased Reserve; Operating Outlook for 2009 Remains Unchanged


BOSTON -- (Business Wire)

State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today announced that it has added $250 million, as of September 30, 2009, to the reserve it established in 2007 to address legal exposure related to losses incurred by investors in certain active fixed-income strategies managed by State Street Global Advisors (SSgA). The Company believes the adjusted reserve should be sufficient to account for a potential resolution of proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other governmental authorities, and to address ongoing litigation with respect to this matter.

Since 2007, SSgA has made significant changes to its organization, including establishing new leadership, and has made substantial investments in its operating platform, including its risk management and compliance operations.
