CompuCredit is a provider of various credit and related financial services and products to consumers. On June 10, 2008, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") announced joint-enforcement actions against CompuCredit for significant and pervasive violations of federal regulations governing the sale and marketing of credit cards to consumers. The action commenced by the FTC seeks to recover more than $200 million in restitution from CompuCredit and the FDIC action seeks a further $6.2 million civil fine against the Company. This conduct has exposed CompuCredit to penalties, fines and Cease and Desist Orders that may harm CompuCredit and its ability to market its products and services to consumers.
