| Ticker Symbol: | KFN |
| Class Period: | May-4-08 to Aug-8-08 |
| Date Filed: | Aug-11-08 |
| Lead Plaintiff Deadline: | Oct-10-08 |
| Court: | Southern District of New York |
| Allegations: | |
The Complaint charges that KFN and certain of its officers and directors violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false statements. Specifically, it is alleged that, the Registration Statement was false and misleading in that it misrepresented and/or omitted material facts, including: (i) the problematic real-estate-related assets held by the Company were a much bigger risk to the Company than the Registration Statement had represented; (ii) the Company's capital would be insufficient given the deterioration in its portfolio which would necessitate capital preservation and the need to raise capital to the detriment of common stockholders; and (iii) the Company was failing to adequately record loss reserves for its mortgage-related exposure, causing its balance sheet and financial results to be artificially inflated.
If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than October 6, 2008, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead plaintiff is a class member that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Although your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision whether or not to seek appointment as a lead plaintiff, lead plaintiffs make important decisions which could affect the overall recovery for class members.
If you acquired the securities of the defendants during the Class Period you may, no later than the Lead Plaintiff Deadline shown above, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff through counsel of your choice. You may also choose to remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff must meet certain requirements.
