| CBRE Realty Finance, Inc. Summary: According to a press release dated October 30, 2007, the complaint charges CBRE and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Act. CBRE is a commercial real estate specialty finance company. The Company primarily focuses on originating, acquiring, investing, financing, and managing a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate related loans and securities in North America. On or about September 26, 2006, CBRE filed with the SEC a Form S-11/A Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”), for the IPO. On or about September 29, 2006, the Prospectus (the “Prospectus”) with respect to the IPO, which forms part of the Registration Statement, became effective. The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus failed to disclose that at the time of the IPO more than $20 million in loans on the company’s books were impaired and should have been written down but were not. The complaint further alleges that on August 6, 2007, CBRE issued a press release announcing its financial results for the second quarter of 2007, the period ending June 30, 2007. The Company reported that it was taking a $7.8 million impairment charge due to a write-down on a foreclosed asset. Following this announcement, the price of CBRE stock declined to $4.25 per share, 70% lower than the IPO price of $14.50, on extremely heavy trading volume.
