Citigroup (NYSE: C) is planning to file a claim against Nasdaq OMX (Nasdaq: NDAQ) over the botched IPO of social media giant Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) last May.
The WSJ noted Monday night that Citi is currently exploring options for its claim under a proposed Nasdaq plan. The U.S. SEC last month approved a plan for Nasdaq to compensate traders on the IPO, though some argue that he $62 million proposal is far less than the estimated $500 million lost by firms.
UBS AG was the firm with the largest loss in the offering, amounting to $356 million by some estimates. The bank said it would seek out full coverage of its loss through arbitration proceedings.
Nasdaq shares are flat in late trading.
