Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On November 14, 2011, the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the Court) dismissed four of the six claims alleged by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC), as Receiver of Washington Mutual Bank (WaMu), against CoreLogic Valuation Services, LLC, f/k/a eAppraiseIT, LLC (eAppraiseIT) and several of its current and former affiliates, including CoreLogic, Inc. (the Company). The FDIC filed its complaint on May 9, 2011, alleging that eAppraiseIT was grossly negligent and breached its contract with WaMu in the provision of appraisal services in 2006 and 2007 relating to 194 residential mortgage loans and seeking to recover $129.0 million in purported losses that WaMu allegedly suffered. The FDIC complaint also asserted claims against eAppraiseITs parent corporations, including the Company, pursuant to alter ego, single business enterprise and joint venture theories of liability.
On August 1, 2011, all defendants in the matter filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety on a number of grounds. The Court granted the defendants motion to dismiss the FDICs gross negligence, alter ego, single business enterprise and joint venture claims, and a portion of the breach of contract claim. The claims were dismissed without prejudice and the FDIC has until December 5, 2011 to file an amended complaint. The Company continues to believe that the remaining breach of contract claims are flawed, both factually and legally, and is confident in the strength of its defenses.
Additional information about the complaint filed by the FDIC can be found in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2011.
