UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Litigation Release No. 15580 / December 4, 1997 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. STEVEN R. JAKUBOWSKI, Civil Action No. 94 C 4539 (N.D. Ill.) The Commission announced that on September 30, 1997, the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Judge Ann Williams presiding, entered Final Judgment against Steven R. Jakubowski (Jakubowski), a resident of LaGrange, Illinois, enjoining him from violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, and ordering him to pay $78,423.23 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest and $51,500.74 in civil penalties. The Court entered its judgment after granting the Commission's motion for summary judgment. In granting the Commission's motion, the Court found that in 1991 and 1992, Jakubowski violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder in connection with the purchase of stock offered pursuant to the conversion of four savings and loan associations from mutual to stock form of ownership. Jakubowski located accountholders who held non-transferrable subscription rights to purchase newly-issued stock in the holding companies of the converting savings and loan associations. He then arranged to obtain the stock to which the accountholders were entitled for his benefit and the benefit of Generation Capital Associates (GCA), an unregistered investment company, and Frank E. Hart (Hart), GCA's president. Jakubowski circumvented restrictions on the transferability of the stock by causing accountholders to state falsely on their stock purchase applications that they were buying the stock for themselves and by failing to disclose the arrangements with Jakubowski, GCA, and Hart. GCA and Hart were previously enjoined, by consent, on July 13, 1994, based on the same conduct. ======END OF PAGE 1======
