Business Wire
The law firm of Spector, Roseman & Kodroff, P.C. announces that
a class action lawsuit was commenced in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, on behalf of
purchasers of the common stock of Security Capital Assurance Ltd.
("Security Capital" or the "Company") (NYSE:SCA) between April 23,
2007 through December 10, 2007, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The
Complaint alleges that defendants violated the federal securities
laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements
contained in press releases and filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission during the Class Period. Specifically, the
Complaint alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus
filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission in connection
with the secondary offering contained untrue statements of material
facts because they failed to disclose that: a substantial portion
of the Company's credit portfolio related to sub-prime residential
mortgage backed securities ("RMBS") and collateralized debt
obligations ("CDOs") that had declined substantially in value; 2)
the Company's net loss reserves were inadequate in light of the
Company's deteriorating credit portfolio; 3) the Company's credit
default swaps were not fairly valued at the time of the secondary
offering; and 4) as a result of the Company's imprudent
underwriting, inadequate loss reserves and overvaluation of its
credit default swaps, the Company's AAA credit rating was at risk
of being downgraded. As a result of these omissions, persons who
purchased the Company's common stock pursuant to the secondary
offering paid materially more than what the shares were worth. If
you purchased Security Capital securities during the Class Period,
you may, no later than February 5, 2008, move to be appointed as a
Lead Plaintiff in this class action. A Lead Plaintiff is a
representative, chosen by the Court, which acts on behalf of other
class members in directing the litigation. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 directs Courts to assume that the
class member(s) with the "largest financial interest" in the
outcome of the case will best serve the class in this capacity.
Courts have discretion in determining which class member(s) have
the "largest financial interest," and have appointed Lead
Plaintiffs with substantial losses in both absolute terms and as a
percentage of their net worth. If you have sustained substantial
losses in Security Capital securities during the Class Period,
please contact Spector, Roseman & Kodroff, P.C. at
classaction@srk-law.com for a more thorough explanation of the Lead
Plaintiff selection process. If you have relatively small losses,
your ability to participate in any recovery will be protected by
the Lead Plaintiff(s), and you need take no affirmative steps at
this time. If you wish to join this action or have any questions
concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact
plaintiff's counsel Robert M. Roseman toll-free at 888-844-5862 or
