REUTERS-
Bank of America (BAC.N) agreed to pay American International Group Inc (AIG.N) $650 million to settle long-running legal disputes over defective mortgage-backed securities sold in the run-up to the financial crisis.
The deal, which the parties announced early Wednesday, ends securities fraud litigation that the insurer brought against Bank of America. It also removes the biggest obstacle to the bank’s $8.5 billion settlement with investors in mortgage securities issued by Countrywide Financial, the subprime lender Bank of America acquired in 2008.
AIG will file notices dismissing its litigation accusing the bank of causing billions of dollars in losses by selling it shoddy mortgage securities. The litigation is pending in New York and California.
