813. DEUTSCHE BANK, AG, plf-res, v. ALEXANDER VIK def-ap — Zaroff & Zaroff LLP, Garden City (Ira S. Zaroff of counsel), for ap — Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, New York (David G. Januszewski of counsel), for res — Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Anil C. Singh, J.), entered February 4, 2015, which denied defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint and to cancel a notice of pendency, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

The court correctly found that it had personal jurisdiction over defendant Sebastian Holdings, Inc. (SHI) pursuant to CPLR 303 and over defendants Alexander Vik, C.M. Beatrice, Inc. (Beatrice) and CSCSNE Trust based on the well pleaded allegations that SHI and Vik are alter egos and that Vik, Beatrice and CSCSNE trust are alter egos. It also made sufficient findings that Beatrice had scant contacts with the Turks and Caicos Islands other than being incorporated there and that some of its allegedly wrongful acts occurred in New York. Accordingly, it correctly found that New York law applies to the alter ego causes of action (see Serio v. Ardra Ins. Co., 304 AD2d 362 [1st Dept 2003], lv denied 100 NY2d 516 [2003]; see also UBS Sec. LLC v. Highland Capital Mgt., 93 AD3d 489 [1st Dept 2012]).
