| * | In the event of default by the Partnership, MS&Co., the Partnership’s commodity futures broker and the sole counterparty to the Partnership’s non-exchange-traded contracts, as applicable, has the right to offset the Partnership’s obligation with the Partnership’s cash and/or U.S. Treasury bills held by MS&Co., thereby minimizing MS&Co.’s risk of loss. In certain instances, MS&Co. may not post collateral and as such, in the event of default by MS&Co., the Partnership is exposed to the amount shown in the Statements of Financial Condition. In the case of exchange-traded contracts, the Partnership’s exposure to counterparty risk may be reduced since the exchange’s clearinghouse interposes its credit between buyer and seller and the clearinghouse’s guarantee funds may be available in the event of a default. In some instances, the actual collateral received and/or pledged may be more than the amount shown due to overcollateralization. |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. Its assets are its (i) equity in related party trading account, consisting of unrestricted cash, restricted cash, foreign cash, net unrealized appreciation on open futures contracts, net unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts and investment in U.S. Treasury bills at fair value, if applicable, and (ii) interest receivable. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership. While substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity, no such illiquidity occurred in the second quarter of 2026.
The Partnership’s investment in futures, forwards and options may or could have been, from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If the price for a particular futures or option contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that futures or option contract can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating their futures or option contracts and result in restrictions on redemptions.
There is no limitation on daily price movements in trading forward contracts on foreign currencies. The markets for some world currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may prevent the Partnership from trading in potentially profitable markets or prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting them to substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could result in restrictions on redemptions. For the periods covered by this report, illiquidity has not materially affected the Partnership’s assets.
Other than the risks inherent in commodity futures, forwards, options, swaps and other derivatives trading and U.S. Treasury bills and money market mutual fund securities, the Partnership knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties at the present time that are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
The Partnership’s capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by realized and/or unrealized gains or losses on trading and by expenses, interest income, subscriptions, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any. The Partnership’s primary need for capital resources is for Futures Interests trading.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Partnership’s capital increased 2.1% from $43,284,792 to $44,183,120. This increase was attributable to a net income of $3,750,337, which was partially offset by redemptions of 2,944.7190 Class A limited partner Redeemable Units totaling $2,719,467, redemptions of 78.6040 Class D limited partner Redeemable Units totaling $92,542 and redemptions of 31.5220 Class Z General Partner Redeemable Units totaling $40,000. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investment in subsequent periods.
Other than as discussed above, there are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, that would affect, nor any expected material changes to, the Partnership’s capital resource arrangements at the present time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The Partnership does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, nor does it have contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments, that would affect its liquidity or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. The General Partner believes that the estimates and assumptions utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Partnership’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Financial Statements.
The Partnership records all investments at fair value in their financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of trading results or net realized gains (losses) on closed contracts and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

During the Partnership’s second quarter of 2026, the Partnership’s net asset value per Class A Redeemable Unit increased 2.3% from $929.08 to $950.85 as compared to an increase of 1.4% in the same period of 2025. During the Partnership’s second quarter of 2026, the Partnership’s net asset value per Class D Redeemable Unit increased 2.3% from $1,162.74 to $1,189.99 as compared to an increase of 1.4% in the same period of 2025. During the Partnership’s second quarter of 2026, the Partnership’s net asset value per Class Z Redeemable Unit increased 2.5% from $1,237.54 to $1,268.94 as compared to an increase of 1.6% in the same period of 2025. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before fees and expenses in the second quarter of 2026 of $1,217,598. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading in currencies, indices, U.S. interest rates and livestock and were partially offset by losses in energy, grains, non-U.S. interest rates, metals and softs. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before fees and expenses in the second quarter of 2025 of $563,700. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading in grains, indices, non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, metals and softs and were partially offset by losses in currencies, energy and U.S. interest rates.
During the second quarter, the Partnership’s most meaningful gains were achieved within the currency sector during June from short positions in the euro, Japanese yen, New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar, and Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar, as the relative value of the U.S. currency strengthened amid expectations for a more hawkish interest rate policy stance from the Federal Reserve. Additional gains in the currency sector were recorded in April from long positions in the British pound and Australian dollar. In global stock index markets, gains were generated in April from long positions in U.S. and European equity index futures, as easing inflation concerns, strong corporate earnings, and strengthening investor sentiment boosted stock prices. Partially offsetting the Partnership’s second-quarter trading gains were losses incurred in the energy markets during May and June from long futures positions in global crude oil and its refined products, as prices reversed lower amid signs that hostilities in the Middle East were easing. Additional losses were experienced during June in the metals markets from long positions in gold and silver futures, as a stronger U.S. dollar weighed on precious metals prices. Further losses were incurred in the agricultural markets in April from short positions in soybean oil, wheat, and cotton futures, as higher fertilizer costs and adverse weather conditions drove prices higher. The Partnership also recorded net losses in global fixed income futures during May from short positions in European fixed income futures.
During the Partnership’s six months ended June 30, 2026, the Partnership’s net asset value per Class A Redeemable Unit increased 8.8% from $873.57 to $950.85 as compared to a decrease of 0.8% in the same period of 2025. During the Partnership’s six months ended June 30, 2026, the Partnership’s net asset value per Class D Redeemable Unit increased 8.8% from $1,093.27 to $1,189.99 as compared to a decrease of 0.8% in the same period of 2025. During the Partnership’s six months ended June 30, 2026, the Partnership’s net asset value per Class Z Redeemable Unit increased 9.3% from $1,161.40 to $1,268.94 as compared to a decrease of 0.4% in the same period of 2025. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before fees and expenses in the six months of 2026 of $4,055,671. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading in currencies, energy, indices, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock and metals and were partially offset by losses in grains and softs. The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before fees and expenses in the six months of 2025 of $466,956. Losses were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading in currencies, energy, U.S. interest rates and softs and were partially offset by gains in grains, indices, non-U.S. interest rates, livestock and metals.
During the first six months of the year, the Partnership’s most meaningful trading gains were generated in the energy sector from long futures positions in crude oil and refined products. Oil prices rose sharply throughout the first quarter amid supply-side concerns and the escalating military conflict in the Middle East. In the currency sector, gains were primarily recorded during June from short positions in the euro, Japanese yen, New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar, and Swiss franc against the U.S. dollar, as the relative value of the U.S. currency strengthened amid expectations for a more hawkish Federal Reserve policy stance. In the global stock index markets, gains were generated from long positions during January and February in Asian and European equity index futures, as expectations for government measures to support regional economies lifted stock prices. Additional global stock index gains were generated during April from long positions in U.S. and European equity index futures, as easing inflation concerns, strong corporate earnings, and strengthening investor sentiment supported stock prices. Gains in the global fixed income sector were recorded during February from long positions in European and Canadian fixed income futures, as declining yields reflected investor expectations for the near-term monetary policy path of major central banks. Additional fixed income futures gains were generated in April from short positions in U.S. fixed income futures. In the metals markets, gains were recorded during January and February from long positions in gold futures, as increased investor demand helped push prices to record highs. Partially offsetting the Partnership’s first-half trading gains were losses in the agricultural markets during January, February, and March from short positions in soybean oil futures, as prices increased amid sustained demand for biofuel production. Additional agricultural losses were recorded in April from short positions in soybean oil, wheat, and cotton futures, as higher fertilizer costs and adverse weather conditions drove prices higher.

Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation increase not only the risks involved in commodity trading, but also the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisors to correctly identify those price trends. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events, changes in interest rates, pandemics, epidemics and other public health crises. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
The Partnership receives monthly interest on 100% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s brokerage account at MS&Co. during each month at a rate equal to the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership did not receive interest on amounts in the futures brokerage accounts that were committed to margin. Any interest earned on the Partnership’s cash account in excess of the amounts described above, if any, was retained by MS&Co. and/or shared with the General Partner. All interest earned on U.S. Treasury bills and money market mutual fund securities was retained by the Partnership as applicable. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $66,026 and $141,893, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. Interest earned by the Partnership will increase the net asset value of the Partnership. The amount of interest income earned by the Partnership depended on (1) the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s accounts, (2) the amount of U.S. Treasury bills and/or money market mutual fund securities held by the Partnership and (3) interest rates over which none of the Partnership or MS&Co. had control.
Certain clearing fees are based on the number of trades executed by the Advisors for the Partnership. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the number of trades executed during the period. Clearing fees related to direct investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $2,908 and $10,548, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. The increase in these clearing fees was primarily due to an increase in the number of direct trades made by the Partnership during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025.
Ongoing selling agent fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value of Class A and Class D Redeemable Units on the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Ongoing selling agent fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $1,108 and $4,970, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average net assets attributable to Class A and Class D Redeemable Units during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025.
General Partner fees are paid to the General Partner for administering the business and affairs of the Partnership. General Partner fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. General Partner fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $1,329 and $5,943, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average net assets for the Partnership during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025.
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $1,650 and $7,415, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average net assets for the Partnership during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025.
Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by each Advisor at the end of the quarter, half-year or year, as applicable, as defined in the respective management agreements between the Partnership, the General Partner and each Advisor. Trading performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 resulted in incentive fees of $173,296 and $267,398, respectively. Trading performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 did not result in any incentive fees. To the extent an Advisor incurs a loss for the Partnership, the Advisor will not be paid incentive fees until such Advisor recovers any net loss incurred by the Advisor and earns additional new trading profits for the Partnership.

In allocating the assets of the Partnership among the Advisors, the General Partner considers, among other factors, each Advisor’s past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets among the Advisors and may allocate assets to additional advisors at any time.
As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the Partnership’s Net Assets were allocated among the Advisors in the following approximate percentages:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Partnership is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership’s main line of business.
The limited partners will not be liable for losses exceeding the current net asset value of their investment.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash balances. The Partnership’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Partnership’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which they trade.
The Partnership rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Partnership’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of their future results.
Quantifying the Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact.
The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of fair value accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of the Partnership’s open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership’s earnings and cash flow.
The Partnership’s risk exposure in the market sectors traded by the Advisors is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk. Please note that the Value at Risk model is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either the General Partner or the Advisors in their daily risk management activities.
“Value at Risk” is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership’s experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing, as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Values at Risk or by the Partnership’s attempt to manage its market risk.
Exchange margin requirements have been used by the Partnership as the measure of its Value at Risk. Margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95%-99% of any one-day interval. The margin levels are established by dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation.
Value at Risk tables represent a probabilistic assessment of the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments. As of June 30, 2026, DCM, Drury, Episteme and Millburn each traded managed accounts in the name of the Partnership. The trading Value at Risk tables reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes in the trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
22
The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s investments by market category as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and the highest, lowest and average values during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. All open contracts trading risk exposures have been included in calculating the figures set forth below.
As of June 30, 2026, the Partnership’s total capitalization was $44,183,120.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership on the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods expected in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the General Partner, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.
The General Partner is responsible for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the Partnership’s external disclosures.
The General Partner’s President and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2026 and, based on that evaluation, the General Partner’s President and CFO have concluded that, at that date, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process under the supervision of the General Partner’s President and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These controls include policies and procedures that:
| • | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership; |
| • | provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) the Partnership’s receipts are handled and expenditures are made only pursuant to authorizations of the General Partner; and |
| • | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting process during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
This section describes the major pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC or its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership or the General Partner.
On June 1, 2011, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company. As a result of that conversion, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated is now named Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.” or “the Company”).
The Company is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, a Delaware holding company. Morgan Stanley files periodic reports with the SEC as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which include current descriptions of material litigation and material proceedings and investigations, if any, by governmental and/or regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations concerning Morgan Stanley and its subsidiaries, including the Company. As a consolidated subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, the Company does not file its own periodic reports with the SEC that contain descriptions of material litigation, proceedings and investigations. As a result, we refer you to the “Legal Proceedings” section of Morgan Stanley’s SEC 10-K filings for 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. In addition, the Company annually prepares an Audited, Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition (“Audited Financial Statement”) that is publicly available on Morgan Stanley’s website at www.morganstanley.com. We refer you to the Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies – Legal section of the Company’s 2025 Audited Financial Statement.
In addition to the matters described in those filings, in the normal course of business, each of Morgan Stanley and the Company has been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions, and other litigation, arising in connection with its activities as a global diversified financial services institution. Certain of the actual or threatened legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. In some cases, the third-party entities that are, or would otherwise be, the primary defendants in such cases are bankrupt, in financial distress, or may not honor applicable indemnification obligations. These actions have included, but are not limited to, antitrust claims, claims under various false claims act statutes, and matters arising from our Markets business, and our activities in the capital markets.
Each of Morgan Stanley and the Company is also involved, from time to time, in other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by governmental or other regulatory agencies regarding the Company’s business and involving, among other matters, sales, trading, financing, prime brokerage, market-making activities, investment banking advisory services, capital market activities, financial products or offerings sponsored, underwritten, or sold by the Company, wealth and investment management services, and tax, accounting, and operational matters, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, disgorgement, restitution, forfeiture, injunctions, limitations on our ability to conduct certain business, or other relief.
The Company contests liability and/or the amount of damages as appropriate in each pending matter. Where available information indicates that it is probable a liability had been incurred at the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition and the Company can
25
reasonably estimate the amount of that loss or the range of loss, the Company accrues an estimated loss by a charge to income, including with respect to certain of the individual proceedings or investigations described below.
The Company’s legal expenses can, and may in the future, fluctuate from period to period, given the current environment regarding government or regulatory agency investigations and private litigation affecting global financial services firms, including the Company.
In many legal proceedings and investigations, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or reasonably possible, or to estimate the amount of any loss. In addition, even where the Company has determined that a loss is probable or reasonably possible or an exposure to loss or range of loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously recognized loss contingency, the Company may be unable to reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss. It is particularly difficult to determine if a loss is probable or reasonably possible, or to estimate the amount of loss, where the factual record is being developed or contested or where plaintiffs or government entities seek substantial or indeterminate damages, restitution, forfeiture, disgorgement or penalties. Numerous issues may need to be resolved in an investigation or proceeding before a determination can be made that a loss or additional loss (or range of loss or range of additional loss) is probable or reasonably possible, or to estimate the amount of loss, including through potentially lengthy discovery or determination of important factual matters, determination of issues related to class certification, the calculation of damages or other relief, and consideration of novel or unsettled legal questions relevant to the proceedings or investigations in question.
The Company has identified below any individual proceedings or investigations where the Company believes a material loss to be reasonably possible. In certain legal proceedings in which the Company has determined that a material loss is reasonably possible, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss. There are other matters in which the Company has determined a loss or range of loss to be reasonably possible, but the Company does not believe, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that such losses could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated statement of financial condition as a whole, although the outcome of such proceedings or investigations may significantly impact the Company’s business or results of operations for any particular reporting period, or cause significant reputational harm.
While the Company has identified below certain proceedings or investigations that the Company believes to be material, individually or collectively, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from claims that have not yet been asserted or those where potential losses have not yet been determined to be probable or reasonably possible.
Civil Litigation
Beginning in February of 2016, the Company was named as a defendant in multiple purported antitrust class actions now consolidated into a single proceeding in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) styled In Re: Interest Rate Swaps Antitrust Litigation. Plaintiffs allege, inter alia, that the Company, together with a number of other financial institution defendants, violated U.S. and New York state antitrust laws from 2008 through December of 2016 in connection with alleged efforts to prevent the development of electronic exchange-based platforms for interest rate swaps trading. Complaints were filed both on behalf of a purported class of investors who purchased interest rate swaps from defendants, as well as on behalf of three operators of swap execution facilities that allegedly were thwarted by the defendants
26
in their efforts to develop such platforms. The consolidated complaints seek, inter alia, certification of the investor class of plaintiffs and treble damages. On July 28, 2017, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaints. On December 15, 2023, the court denied the class plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. On December 29, 2023, the class plaintiffs petitioned the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit for leave to appeal that decision. On February 28, 2024, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the class claims. On July 17, 2025, the court granted final approval of the settlement. The claims brought by the three operators of swap execution facilities remain pending, and on March 12, 2026, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment.
The Company is a defendant in three antitrust class action complaints which have been consolidated into one proceeding in the United States District Court for the SDNY under the caption City of Philadelphia, et al. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al. Plaintiffs allege, inter alia, that the Company, together with a number of other financial institution defendants, violated U.S. antitrust laws and relevant state laws in connection with alleged efforts to artificially inflate interest rates for Variable Rate Demand Obligations (“VRDO”). The consolidated complaint seeks, inter alia, certification of the class of plaintiffs and treble damages. The complaint was filed on behalf of a class of municipal issuers of VRDO for which defendants served as remarketing agent.
