Although Viceroy\u2019s appeal was denied, Viceroy reported that the SEC enforcement staff confirmed the <strong><em>existence of responsive records concerning Arbor Realty Trust<\/em><\/strong>, potentially signifying that the SEC has opened its own probe.<br \/>This latest development follows a report from Viceroy on September 3, 2024, titled \u201cArbor \u2013 Foreclosure Special.\u201d Viceroy concluded that \u201cArbor is facing a wave of foreclosures, as borrowers, unable to pay interest or deliver equity, are walking away and handing Arbor their keys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One notable example highlighted by Viceroy involves a foreclosure auction sale to an entity named Arbor SRV Circle at 1800. Viceroy noted that while it remains unclear whether Arbor SRVs are consolidated subsidiaries of Arbor, \u201c[i]f they are then this is a damning indictment of their loan book: the only party willing to pay anything near the loan balance on the property is Arbor itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Viceroy has previously written a series of blistering reports which have accused Arbor of misleading investors about the quality of its loan book and engaging in \u201cwindow-dressing\u201d to obscure financial troubles. In a report released earlier in August, Viceroy pointed to a 10% surge in delinquent loans to $1 billion as evidence of the company\u2019s deteriorating financial condition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Securities Class Action Against Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (ABR): <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arbor is also contending with a class-action lawsuit alleging securities fraud. Filed in late July, the suit accuses the company of painting a misleadingly rosy picture of its business performance.<\/p>\n<p>Investor concerns about Arbor\u2019s financial health first surfaced in March 2023 when NINGI Research questioned the value of the company\u2019s real estate holdings, particularly its mobile home portfolio. In December 2023, Viceroy released a report alleging widespread issues with the company\u2019s loan book. The situation further deteriorated on July 12, 2024, when reports of a federal investigation into the company\u2019s lending practices emerged. Each of these revelations has caused Arbor\u2019s share price to plummet.<\/p>\n<p>These allegations have prompted prominent shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman to launch an investigation into potential securities fraud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are investigating whether Arbor Realty may have misled investors about its financial health and the quality of its loan book,\u201d said Reed Kathrein, a partner at Hagens Berman. \u201cInvestors deserve to know the truth about their investments, and we are committed to holding companies accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you invested in Arbor and have substantial losses, or have knowledge that may assist the firm\u2019s investigation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=RIZ93TCrbBDMbNdHkj8wORITW32-cWcvrebHZ2RdIqkumPLv4tXXlsm8oXdeHbRPD8C1i1cH2imQ0JBHRsbnsnv2ch7EUATebAhY1QCHz3iGe48qelpWQ7kr-fBVvyEK\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"submit your losses now\">submit your losses now<\/a> \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like more information and answers to frequently asked questions about the Arbor case and our investigation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=FkzVePiVxxrMEqQCmvTG8Jasth0VTQKhX8Su-EIwAa-oiT5HQNCPfAKIFiYbWIea72ux-L-AyGqYwK5LHEh9CwSNYVCui95LhJZPdJlwIwFs7wEk693v81CGj1r41vc5sM9wcnRq7BQTQz0R8EDRDQ==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"read more\">read more<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=zwMufpKedBON7CWbHP9kkAkFzd01hdmOYyidZmo6zf2I3AkznpowuUzFrcl0Y171Ie-HqF9IVEaIIjH60P5IzaYbsF8uWZaYvm829ohLI-jZBVom4HQDMBw5DN8vGx2pGSMTMOYeLcbo6Zr6vpS_0Q==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u00bb\"> \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Whistleblowers: <\/strong>Persons with non-public information regarding Arbor should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program.
