LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Since February 2004, Federated and related entities
(collectively, "Federated") have been
named as defendants in several lawsuits, that were
consolidated into a single action in the
United States District Court for the Western District
of Pennsylvania, alleging excessive
advisory fees involving one of the Federated-sponsored
mutual funds. Without admitting
the validity of any claim, Federated reached a final
settlement with the Plaintiffs in these
cases in April 2011.
