According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges that Regions and several of its current and former officers and directors violated Federal securities laws by allowing or authorizing the solicitation of proxies or consent to a resolution approving a merger/acquisition between Regions and AmSouth, another Birmingham-based bank, in October 2006, through the use of a materially misleading joint proxy statement. The complaint alleges that “the joint proxy statement, which urged shareholders to vote for the acquisition, omitted material facts about and/or falsely misrepresented AmSouth's and Regions' financial condition. False pre-merger financial statements were incorporated into the joint proxy statement and used to persuade shareholders about the benefits of the proposed combination and/or conceal the risks associated with the transaction. The statement also omitted material facts and/or contained false material representations about the benefits of merging the two banks into a single operation, the risks attended with such that acquisition or the fairness of the transaction to Regions shareholders, so the lawsuit. REGIONS FINANCIAL CP in January 2009 announced a $6 billion write down of goodwill attributable to the AmSouth acquisition, approximately 60% of the $10 billion purchase price.
