CORAL GABLES, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 04/02/09 -- The Securities Law Firm of Tramont Guerra & Núñez, PA (TGN) makes an announcement to all Barclays Bank PLC ADR, Preferred Series 4 (NYSE: BCS-PC) shareholders who are prospective class members of class action lawsuit (Case No. 09 CV 02326) filed on March 13, 2009 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Barclays Bank PLC (NYSE: BCS) and major Wall Street Underwriters were named parties to the class action lawsuit.

(NYSE: MS), UBS Securities, LLC (NYSE: UBS), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (NYSE: WFC). The class action lawsuit alleges that the Underwriter Defendants "collected fees" for their involvement in the drafting and dissemination of the Registration Statement and Prospectus, the "Offering" documents. Furthermore, the Underwriter Defendants failed to "conduct an adequate due diligence investigation" concerning facts related to Preferred stock issuance. Prospective class members need to determine which legal process is more suitable for them to recover investment losses, a class action lawsuit or an individual securities arbitration claim filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, (FINRA).
