Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP, which is one of the three largest pension funds in the world, is seeking "compensation for the damages caused by the defendants' negligent use of materially misleading proxy materials to solicit shareholders votes to approve BofA's $29.1 billion acquisition of Merrill Lynch," according to the suit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit also names BofA's [BAC] former chief executive, Kenneth A. Lewis; former Merrill CEO, John Thain; Walter Massey, the current BofA chairman who succeeded Lewis, and several other board members and top managers as individual defendants. Jay Eisenhofer, a co-founder and managing director of law firm Grant & Eisenhofer, which is representing ABP in the case, said BofA "shareholders did not get a large enough share of the combined company."
