Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc./Regions Financial Corporation : RMK Advantage Income Fund (RMA) : RMK Strategic Income Fund (RSF) : RMK High Income Fund (RMH) : RHY Multi-Sector High Income Fund (RHY) Summary: According to the complaint filed April 08, 2010, The Defendants misled investors via the Funds’ S.E.C. filings and marketing materials by comparing their closed-end mutual funds to competitor’s. This comparison was materially misleading because the competitor’s index contained no asset-backed securities, unlike the Defendant’s funds, which contained substantial amounts of asset-backed securities.

On December 15, 2010, an Order Appointing Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel and Consolidating Cases was issued by the Court.

On February 22, 2011, a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Federal Securities Laws was filed with the Court by the lead plaintiffs against the defendants.
