On Friday, March 06, 2009 an investor in SunTrust Banks, Inc (NYSE: STI) shares has filed a proposed securities class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on behalf of purchasers of SunTrust Banks, Inc. publicly traded securities (NYSE: STI) during the period between July 22, 2008 and January 21, 2009. According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges that SunTrust Banks, Inc (“SunTrust”) and certain of its officers and directors violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing between July 22, 2008 and January 21, 2009 false and misleading statements about SunTrust’s financial results and conditions.
The plaintiff alleges among other things, that SunTrust was not as well capitalized as represented, and, notwithstanding the $3.5 billion the Company received on November 17, 2008 from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, SunTrust announced that it would have to raise an additional $1.4 billion in TARP funds just three weeks later. As SunTrust’s true condition slowly came to light in a series of write-downs, reserve increases and capital-raising, SunTrust’s stock price dropped from a high of over $59 per share between July22, 2008 and January 21, 2009  to less than $14 per share, so the lawsuit.

SunTrust Banks, Inc., located in Atlanta, GA, is a diversified financial services holding company whose businesses provide a range of financial services to consumer and corporate clients. SunTrust Banks operates in four business segments: retail and commercial, wholesale banking, mortgage, and wealth and investment management. SunTrust Banks reported in 2007 a Net Income of $1.63402billion and in 2008 a Net Income of $795.77million. Shares of SunTrust Banks (STI) traded at $21.08 per share, and were down from its 52weekHigh of $44.76 per share, $59.20 per share in September ’08, $68.33 per share in February ’08, and over $90 per share in 2007.
