Bloomberg BNA 
June 12, 2017
"Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. will pay $25 million to settle a lawsuit that accused the broker-dealer firm of profiting from excessive fees charged to small 401(k) plans... The deal features a 'corrective remediation payment' totaling at least $8.8 million and a 'disgorgement payment' of $16.2 million, the motion said. Class counsel will request attorneys' fees equal to 35 percent of the settlement payment, or $8.75 million, the motion said."
