On January 31, 2013, a FINRA arbitration panel rendered a decision in the previously disclosed U.S. Airways case, filed in February 2009, resulting in an award against the Company’s subsidiary, Oppenheimer, in the amount of $30 million including interest and costs on a claim of approximately $140 million (adjusted down from $253 million). This has been reflected in the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company, the ultimate parent of Oppenheimer, has contributed capital into Oppenheimer, the broker-dealer, in an amount equal to the net after tax effect of the award. Accordingly, the regulatory capital of Oppenheimer will not change as a result of the award.
