Legal Proceedings [Abstract] |
Legal Proceedings | Note 14. Legal Proceedings Following the announcement of the Merger Agreement, the first of four lawsuits was filed on June 23, 2021 in United States Federal District Courts by alleged stockholders of NYCB against NYCB and the members of its board of directors challenging the accuracy or completeness of the disclosures contained in the Form S-4 filed on June 25, 2021 by NYCB with the SEC relating to the proposed Merger. Four additional lawsuits were filed by alleged Flagstar stockholders in state and federal courts against Flagstar and its board of directors (and, in one instance, NYCB and 615 Corp.) challenging the proposed Merger or Flagstar’s disclosures relating to the Merger. The complaints in the actions against NYCB allege, among other things, that the defendants caused a materially incomplete and misleading Form S-4 relating to the proposed Merger to be filed with the SEC in violation of Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. NYCB believes that these claims are without merit.
