March 31, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 623 ORDER ENTERED BY JUDGE NANETTE LAUGHREY. ABB Defendants violated their fiduciary duties to the Plan and its participants when they failed to monitor recordkeeping costs and negotiate for rebates from Fidelity Trust, and selected classes of particula r investments to be on the PRISM Plan's investment platform that had higher expenses when other share classes with lower expenses of those same investments were available, and removed the Vanguard Wellington Fund, and replacing it with the Fidel ity Freedom Funds. ABB, Inc. also violated its fiduciary duties to the Plan when it continued to pay to Fidelity an amount that exceeded market costs for Plan services in order to subsidize ABB's corporate services. Fidelity Trust breached its fiduciary duties by failing to distribute float income solely for the interest of the Plan. Fidelity Research violated its fiduciary duties when it transferred float income to the Plan's investment options instead of the Plan. ABB Defendants are jointly and severally liable for $ 13.4 million lost by the Plan due to ABB's failure to monitor recordkeeping fees and negotiate for rebates, and $21.8 million lost by the Plan due to the mapping of the Vanguard Wellington Fund to the Fidelity Freedom Funds. Fidelity Defendants are jointly and severally liable for compensating the Plan $1.7 million for lost float income.
