Highlights:
? Regulation O places quantitative limits and qualitative restrictions on extensions of credit by depository institutions to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and related interests of such persons. The popularity of mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and similar index-based investment products has resulted in several large asset management companies becoming principal shareholders of a number of institutions, and has triggered the Regulation O presumption of control of a related interest over an increasing number of companies in the asset managers' portfolios.
? The federal banking agencies are providing this temporary relief while the FRB, in consultation with the other federal banking agencies, considers whether to amend Regulation O to address this issue. As detailed in the statement, the agencies will exercise discretion in not bringing enforcement actions against asset managers and institutions for extensions of credit that would otherwise violate Regulation O, provided the asset managers and institutions satisfy certain conditions designed to ensure that there is a lack of control by the asset manager over the institution. In addition, the agencies would not take action against institutions for failure to report, for purposes of section 363.2 of the FDIC's regulations (12 CFR 363.2), extensions of credit that would otherwise violate Regulation O but are covered by this Regulation O noaction position. The FRB and OCC are taking similar action with respect to the institutions they supervise.
