Delandmeter was involved in nearly every major decision regarding Luxalpha from the fund’s<br />

inception through its collapse.<br />

On February 5, 2004, Delandmeter along with UBS SA established Luxalpha’s articles of<br />

incorporation. (Pergament Decl. Ex. 7 at 1.) That same day, Delandmeter executed a resolution<br />

that authorized Luxalpha’s relationship with Madoff in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> and the delegation of asset<br />

management and custodial authority to BLMIS. (Pergament Decl. Ex. 8 at 2–4; see Pergament<br />

Decl. Ex. 9 at 7–9, 18–21.) He and the Moving Luxalpha Director Defendants then executed<br />

resolutions that approved and amended sales prospectuses which concealed Madoff’s role as<br />

actual custodian and asset manager. (Pergament Decl. Exs. 8 at 2; 12; see, e.g., Pergament Decl.<br />

Ex. 10.) Similarly, Delandmeter approved Luxalpha’s financial statements despite knowing that<br />

these documents did not disclose Madoff’s role as custodian and asset manager. (See Pergament<br />

Decl. Ex. 71; see, e.g., Pergament Decl. Ex. 47.)<br />

Delandmeter also routinely executed board resolutions that protected and preserved the<br />

Luxalpha-BLMIS relationship. For example, Delandmeter signed a June 20, 2006 report<br />

confirming that Luxalpha was “in conformity with the determined investment policy” and “the<br />

investment restrictions as mentioned in the prospectus.” (Pergament Decl. Ex. 14.) On<br />

numerous occasions, Delandmeter also executed quarterly board resolutions stating that<br />

Luxalpha’s Board “noted that the monitoring of the management of the various risks to which<br />

the SICAV is exposed has been performed and has not signaled significant irregularities over the<br />

period.” (Pergament Decl. Exs. 73-81.)<br />

Delandmeter also executed agreements on behalf of Luxalpha with UBS and Access<br />

entities that authorized Luxalpha to pay the management and administrative fees to these<br />
