Nomura Holdings and the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) have agreed to pay an extra $33 million in addition to the $806 million a judge ordered them to pay for allegedly misrepresenting the quality of mortgage-backed securities sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the run-up to the financial crisis.

A federal judge in Connecticut has denied a bid by the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the FHFA accusing the bank of misleading Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the sale of $32 billion worth of residential mortgage-backed securities before the financial crisis.
