Restrictions on Sales of Assets of a Covered Financial Company by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

Riepilogo

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") is proposing a rule to implement a section of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act"). Under the section, individuals or entities that have, or may have, contributed to the failure of a "covered financial company" cannot buy a covered financial company's assets from the FDIC. This proposed rule establishes a self-certification process that is a prerequisite to the purchase of assets of a covered financial company from the FDIC.
