Deutsche Börse AG: Additional U.S. plaintiffs filed a complaint naming
Deutsche Börse AG subsidiary Clearstream
Last night Clearstream Banking S.A., Luxembourg ("Clearstream"), a 100 per
cent subsidiary of Deutsche Börse AG, has learned that on Friday, October
14, 2016, certain judgment creditors of Iran and Bank Markazi (the "Havlish
plaintiffs") filed a complaint naming Iran, Bank Markazi and financial
intermediaries including Clearstream in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York.
According to the complaint, in 2012 the Havlish plaintiffs obtained a
judgment totalling approximately USD 6.6 billion against Iran and Bank
Markazi. The Havlish plaintiffs are seeking to execute upon assets of these
defendants and have included claims against Clearstream based on its
historical relationship with Bank Markazi as a customer. Their complaint is
based on similar assets of Bank Markazi and similar allegations against
Clearstream as in the previous legal actions initiated by other U.S.
judgment creditors of Iran.
Clearstream believes the Havlish complaint against it to be without merit.
Clearstream will take all necessary and appropriate measures to vigorously
defend itself.
