and certain officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the

It is alleged that, during the Class Period, defendants made false and
misleading statements, in concealment of the alarming growth of loan
delinquencies and the increasing likelihood of impairment charges, with
resulting adverse impacts on the quality of the Company’s
collateralized debt obligations (CDO’s), earnings and profits.
Following this, on July 24, 2007 and August 9, 2007, shocking facts
were revealed, including $417 million in impairment charges, the
implementation of a $292.9 million loan loss provision and adoption of
a new risk disclosure warning of short-term liquidity issues. On these
revelations, the price of Countrywide Financial stock suffered
substantial declines on heightened trading volumes.
