Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

In the Metris Master Trust Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2006 as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2007, litigation referred to as Pinon et al. v. Bank of America, N.A., et al. (N.D. CA. No. C07 0772) was disclosed. On May 9, 2007, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in that matter that did not name HSBC Finance Corporation or any other HSBC entity that is relevant to the Metris Master Trust or any of its affiliates, as defendants. As a result, we deem this matter to be resolved.
