GreatBanc Trust Co. has settled an ERISA claim brought by the DOL for $5.25 million.
In 2012, the Labor department claimed that GreatBanc breached its fiduciary obligations under ERISA in its relationship as trustee to the ESOP of Sierra Aluminum, a Riverside, California-based materials company.
GreatBanc Trust, of Lisle, Illinois, allegedly allowed the employees of Sierra Aluminum to purchase shares of the company from co-founders and top executives for more than fair-market value.
