Zusammenfassung

The Farm Credit Administration is proposing to amend regulations to allow Farm Credit System (System) service corporations to sell stock to non-System entities; and System institutions to adopt bylaws allowing the issuance of unlimited amounts of certain classes of equities. The purpose of our proposal is to provide System institutions additional opportunities to fulfill their borrowers' needs through service corporations and more efficient issuance of equities related to earnings distributions and transfers of capital. We are also taking this opportunity to make a technical change to one of our regulations pertaining to disclosure requirements.
