Item 1117 of Regulation AB: Legal Proceedings.

Except as set forth below, there are no legal proceedings pending (or proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities) against any of Barclays Bank Delaware, Barclays Dryrock Funding LLC, U.S. Bank National Association, Wilmington Trust, National Association or Barclays Dryrock Issuance Trust, or of which any property of the foregoing is subject, that are material to holders of the notes.

BBD is a defendant in a number of putative class action cases commenced in 2005 in various federal district courts by merchants alleging that Visa U.S.A., Inc. (“Visa”), MasterCard International (“MasterCard”), and their member banks conspired to fix interchange fees and unlawfully bundle several separate and distinct services, such as payment protection and transaction processing costs, in violation of the U.S. antitrust laws. The merchants also alleged that the defendants imposed other restraints on merchants in connection with accepting payment cards and that such alleged restraints violated the antitrust laws. Visa, MasterCard, and several other payment card issuing banks are also defendants in the proceedings, which have been consolidated into a single proceeding in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “District Court”), MDL No. 1720.

The merchants’ complaints sought an unspecified amount of damages and injunctive relief. By an order dated January 9, 2008, the court dismissed class damage claims prior to January 1, 2004; accordingly, the period over which any damages may be awarded is January 1, 2004 to the date of the award.

On July 13, 2012, the parties filed a proposed settlement agreement with the court under which the defendants agreed to pay the class plaintiffs $6.05 billion, to make network rule changes and to give other relief (the “2012 Settlement”). The 2012 Settlement included a provision pursuant to which Visa and MasterCard would reduce U.S. interchange rates 10 bps during an eight-month period from July 29, 2013 through March 29, 2014. On the same day, defendants announced that they reached an agreement in principle to settle with a group of individual plaintiffs that were not members of the class. The 2012 Settlement was approved by District Judge John Gleeson on December 13, 2013, who then entered an agreed form of final judgment on January 14, 2014.

A number of merchants, including several large retailers, elected against participation in the 2012 Settlement, “opting out” of that settlement and pursuing separate actions on the same or similar claims as those alleged by the putative class plaintiffs (the “2012 Settlement Opt-Out Actions”). Some of these merchants commenced new actions against Visa, MasterCard, and certain member banks, not including BBD, which remain pending. Although the class settlement fund was reduced to account for opt-outs, resulting in a refund to BBD of a portion of its share of the class settlement fund, total settlement payments by BBD to opt-out plaintiffs will be higher than the amount of that refund. BBD will be liable for its share of the excess over the refund under the terms of a judgment sharing agreement with Visa, MasterCard, and the other payment card issuing bank defendants. As of the date hereof, Visa and MasterCard have settled a number of the 2012 Settlement Opt-Out Actions and BBD has contributed to the settlement of those actions in accordance with the judgment sharing agreements. The amount of those settlements has exceeded what each of those plaintiffs would have been paid as a result of the 2012 Settlement.

The National Retail Federation and a number of merchants appealed the judgment entering the 2012 Settlement to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Second Circuit”). On June 30, 2016, the Second Circuit reversed District Judge Gleeson’s ruling approving the 2012 Settlement and remanded the action back to the District Court.

Following remand of the case, the District Court reappointed counsel to represent members of the putative class seeking primarily (but not exclusively) damages pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(3) and appointed new counsel to represent class members seeking primarily equitable relief pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(2).

 
 

Counsel for the Rule 23(b)(3) putative class members moved for leave to file an amended complaint adding factual allegations and legal theories to conform to developments in the law, as well as damage claims for additional years of alleged damages. On September 27, 2017, Magistrate Judge James Orenstein granted the Rule 23(b)(3) plaintiffs’ motion to amend in part and denied it in part, allowing the plaintiffs to amend their complaints to add their additional legal and factual theories, but holding that those theories would only apply to the preceding four years and would not relate back to the date of filing of the initial complaints in 2005. On October 30, 2017, the Rule 23(b)(3) plaintiffs filed their amended complaint. 

The Rule 23(b)(3) plaintiffs also appealed Magistrate Judge Orenstein’s ruling to District Judge Margo Brodie. On August 30, 2018, District Judge Brodie set aside Magistrate Judge Orenstein’s ruling, holding that plaintiffs’ additional legal and factual theories related back to the original filing dates for the Rule 23(b)(3) complaints and, for similar reasons, that comparable theories advanced by merchants that elected not to participate in the 2012 class settlement and are suing the same defendants separately were entitled to have had their claims considered to be tolled such that they would be treated as timely. 

Counsel for the Rule 23(b)(2) putative class members filed a separate complaint seeking broad equitable relief against allegedly anticompetitive conduct as well as Visa and MasterCard network rules (the “Rule 23(b)(2) Class Action”). On January 16, 2019, BBD and the other bank defendants moved to dismiss the Rule 23(b)(2) class plaintiffs’ claims.  On November 20, 2019, the Court denied the bank defendants’ motion to dismiss. BBD and the other bank defendants filed answers to the complaint on May 18, 2020. On June 1, 2020, Defendants and the Rule 23(b)(2) class plaintiffs each moved for summary judgment on various issues, which motions were fully briefed as of December 21, 2020. Three of defendants’ five summary judgment motions relevant to the Rule 23(b)(2) Class Action have been resolved; the unresolved motions (including motions filed by plaintiffs) remain pending before the District Court. On December 18, 2020, the Rule 23(b)(2) class plaintiffs also moved to certify a class, and District Judge Brodie granted the motion for class certification on September 27, 2021.

On September 17, 2018, all defendants entered into a settlement agreement with the Rule 23(b)(3) class plaintiffs to resolve their claims (the “2018 Settlement”).  The 2018 Settlement amends and supersedes the 2012 Settlement. The 2018 Settlement resolves the damages claims of the plaintiffs in the interchange fee litigation pending in the District Court, subject to any of those plaintiffs choosing to opt out of the 2018 Settlement and pursue their own actions, with the class plaintiffs agreeing to receive $6.20 billion to settle this matter. BBD contributed to the class settlement in accordance with the judgment sharing agreements. On December 13, 2019, the District Court granted final approval of the 2018 Settlement (the “2018 Settlement Approval”). Several objectors filed appeals in connection with the 2018 Settlement Approval, and the Second Circuit rejected those objections in a decision issued on March 15, 2023, and remanded the case back to the District Court for recalculation of a $900,000 service award to the lead plaintiffs that was found to be excessive. On April 25, 2023, the Second Circuit denied a request for panel rehearing or, in the alternative, rehearing en banc. The time for appealing the Second Circuit’s decision has passed and the parties are preparing for the claims administration process.

On July 20, 2019, forty-five merchants filed an opt-out suit in the Northern District of California, asserting claims against Visa and MasterCard that are generally similar to the claims raised by the Rule 23(b)(3) plaintiffs, and several additional opt-outs were filed since then (the “2018 Settlement Opt-Out Actions”). The 2018 Settlement Opt-Out Actions filed outside the District Court were transferred to the District Court to be coordinated with the MDL No. 1720 proceedings. While the 2018 Settlement provides that the class settlement fund will be reduced to account for opt-outs, resulting in a refund to BBD of a portion of its share of the class settlement fund provided by the 2018 Settlement, total settlement payments by BBD to opt-out plaintiffs that opt out of the 2018 Settlement will be higher than the amount of that refund. BBD will be liable for its share of the excess over the refund under the terms of a judgment sharing agreement with Visa, MasterCard, and the other payment card issuing bank defendants. As of the date hereof, Visa and MasterCard have settled a number of the 2018 Settlement Opt-Out Actions, and BBD has contributed to the settlement of those actions in accordance with the judgment sharing agreements.

Because of the inherent uncertainties involved in the Rule 23(b)(2) Class Action, the 2012 Settlement Opt-Out Actions, and the 2018 Settlement Opt-Out Actions, it is too early to reliably estimate the ultimate liability BBD may incur or whether the results could be material to the operation or cash flows of BBD. Any reduction in the

 
 

interchange fees paid by merchants to banks could adversely impact the business operations of credit card issuers, such as BBD, and could reduce the amount of interchange included in finance charge collections.
