Citigroup Not Happy With Nasdaq's Facebook Compensation Plan

Date 23/08/2012

Citigroup is not happy with Nasdaq OMX Group Inc's plan to compensate firms affected byFacebook's ill-starred IPO.

In a 17 page letter sent to the SEC yesterday, the bank said that Nasdaq's actions in the May 18 IPO amounted to "gross negligence”.

Citi said that Nasdaq’s USD62 million proposal would only cover “fraction of its total losses.”
