Three class-action complaints have been filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York, by customers of MF Global whose money has been allegedly lost or stolen. Defendants include Bradley I. Abelow, CME Group Inc., Jon S. Corzine, Laurie R. Ferber, Richard W. Gill, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Dennis A. Klejna, Edith O'Brien, Christine A. Serwinski, David Simons, Henri J. Steenkamp and Michael G. Stockman.

These cases are now consolidated with Joseph Deangelis, et al., v Jon S. Corzine, et al., No. 1:11-cv-07866-VM. The Court has appointed lead plaintiffs and counsel on behalf of purchasers of MF Global securities, but not customers of MF Global. On Jan. 18, 2012, Judge Marrero ordered that the time to file applications for appointment of lead plaintiff in the customer action is extended until Jan. 30, 2012.

The filed cases include:

1. David Accomazzo and Roberto E. Calle v. Corzine, No.1 :11-cv-8467 (the "Accomazzo Action"), which asserts claims under the Commodities Exchange Act on behalf of a proposed Class consisting of :

persons, other than Defendants, their employees, affiliates and agents, who held money or other assets in MF Global customer accounts as of any time during the period October 24th through October 31, 2011 ("Class Period")

derivative contract with MF Global and/or had money, securities or other

transacting in commodity futures trading or derivative contracts, and who
have sustained damage as a result of MF Global's failure to properly
segregate customer funds.
