Case Details for "Colonial BancGroup "

Investigation launched on behalf of purchasers of Colonial BancGroup, Inc. securities (NYSE:CNB) between December 2, 2008 and January 27, 2009
The investigation focuses on the Company's disclosures concerning its participation in the Troubled Asset Relief Program or "TARP." On December 2, 2008, Colonial BancGroup announced that it had received preliminary approval for $550 million in funding from the U.S. Treasury Department. In response, the Company's common stock price skyrocketed, increasing more than 50% per share. Then, on January 27, 2009, the Company shocked investors by belatedly disclosing that the TARP funding was actually contingent upon it increasing its equity by $300 million. Upon this disclosure, Colonial BancGroup's stock price plummeted more than 45%.
