Capital Adequacy Guidelines: Treatment of Perpetual Preferred Stock Issued to the United States Treasury Under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008

摘要

The Board published an interim final rule with request for public comment in the Federal Register on October 22, 2008 ( 73 FR 62851), providing that bank holding companies that issue new senior perpetual preferred stock to the U.S Department of Treasury under the capital purchase program announced by the Secretary of the Treasury on October 14, 2008, may include such capital instruments in Tier 1 capital for purposes of the Board's risk-based and leverage capital rules and guidelines for bank holding companies. The Public Law was cited incorrectly. This document corrects the citation in footnote 1 of the Supplementary Information and in the interim final regulation by revising these sections.
