Kaufman Hall was retained by Tri-City to provide a narrow scope of work related to structuring and pricing an interest rate swap that would be used to hedge certain auction rate securities to be underwritten by Citi and insured by MBIA. Tri-Citi sued all parties that worked on any part of the transaction, subsequent to the failure of the auction rate securities and the credit deterioration of the municipal bond insurer. Kaufman Hall played no role in the decision-making or issuance of the auction rate securities and we reached an agreement with Tri-City that resulted in a dismissal of the complaint.
