    Case 1:16-cv-04569-WHP Document 393 Filed 04/28/20 Page 1 of 44 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK : COMMERZBANK AG, : : Plaintiff, : : 16cv4569 -against- : : OPINION & ORDER U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, : : Defendant. : : WILLIAM H. PAULEY III, Senior United States District Judge: Defendant U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) moves for summary judgment dismissing Plaintiff Commerzbank AG’s claims. (ECF No. 293.) Due to the complexity of this case, the number of claims, and the demanding summary judgment standard, the parties submitted lengthy statements of undisputed facts in support of their respective positions. To characterize them as sprawling would be an understatement. Almost every statement of undisputed fact is controverted at least in part by the opposing party. The result is a staggering 1,274 pages of factual assertions supported by 1,049 exhibits. By this Court’s reckoning, the parties utilized more than 430,000 words in their respective statements of undisputed facts, a word count longer than Margaret Mitchell’s epic novel Gone with the Wind. For the reasons that follow, U.S. Bank’s motion is granted in part and denied in part. BACKGROUND This Court assumes familiarity with its prior Opinion & Order and summarizes only the facts necessary to decide this motion. See Commerzbank AG v. U.S. Bank Nat’l Ass’n., 277 F. Supp. 3d 483 (S.D.N.Y. 2017). 1 Case 1:16-cv-04569-WHP Document 393 Filed 04/28/20 Page 2 of 44 I.

  • Fitch Places 31 EMEA Bank ST Issuer Ratings Under Criteria Observation
    5/7/2019 [ Press Release ] Fitch Places 31 EMEA Bank ST Issuer Ratings Under Criteria Observation Fitch Places 31 EMEA Bank ST Issuer Ratings Under Criteria Observation Fitch Ratings-London-07 May 2019: Fitch Ratings has placed 31 Short-Term (ST) Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) and related ST debt level ratings of EMEA-based banks Under Criteria Observation (UCO) following the publication of its cross-sector criteria for Short-Term Ratings on 2 May 2019. A full list of rating actions is below. Fitch intends to conclude full implementation of the criteria, and resolution of all UCO designations within six months of the designation. KEY RATING DRIVERS The ST ratings of the affected banks are determined primarily by correspondence tables linking short-term to long-term ratings. The new ST rating criteria introduced changes to our correspondence table between long-term and ST ratings. Two new cusp points at 'A' and 'BBB+' have been added to the existing three cusp points ('A+', 'A-' and 'BBB'), where baseline or higher ST ratings can be assigned. For banks with Long-Term IDRs driven by their standalone profile, as reflected by their Viability Ratings (VR), Fitch uses the funding and liquidity factor score as the principal determinant of whether the 'baseline' or 'higher' ST IDR is assigned at each cusp point. The ST IDRs and, where relevant, associated ST debt/deposit ratings of the following issuers have been placed UCO because the ratings could be upgraded by one notch under the new criteria. This is because the latest funding and liquidity scores that feed into their VRs are at least in line with the minimum levels required for a higher ST rating under the new criteria: - Banco Cooperativo Espanol, S.A.
