On July 13, the Amsterdam Court of Appeals in the Netherlands approved the largest-ever securities settlement in Europe. Belgium insurance company Ageas N.V./S.A. (formerly known as Fortis) agreed to pay of $1.5 billion (€1.3 billion) to multiple groups of U.S. and European institutional and individual investors. The historic settlement resolves claims arising out of the 2007 acquisition of Dutch bank ABN Amro by Fortis ahead of the financial crisis.
