  27. Impact of Relative Offering Size on Valuation

  28. Regulatory Considerations

  29. Capital is King • Collins Amendment requires regulators to apply leverage and risk-based capital requirements for holding companies and significant non-bank subsidiaries at no less than current PCA levels • Consolidated holding company capital must be at least at bank levels, certain debt/trust preferred/hybrid capital (but not REIT Preferred securities) no longer qualify as “Tier 1” capital (subject to phase-out period or grandfathered for holding companies with less than $15 billion in total consolidated assets) • Does not apply to small bank holding companies (assets under $500 million) not engaged in significant nonbanking activities, do not conduct significant off-balance sheet activities (including securitization and asset management), and do not have a material amount of debt or equity securities outstanding (other than trust preferred securities) • Regulators to establish “countercyclical capital principles” so that the amount of capital required to be maintained increases in times of economic expansion and decreases in times of economic contraction • Perpetual non-cumulative preferred and REIT Preferred still qualify as Tier 1 capital – rarely issued in the past because its terms were less attractive than previously-viable hybrids such as trust preferred securities

  30. Basel III • Significantly increases Tier 1 Capital requirements for banks • Tier 1 raised from 4% to 6% • New capital conservation buffer calibrated at 2.5% • Countercyclical buffer: 0-2.5% • Final implementation deferred many years: Tier 1 minimums phased in by January 1, 2015, however, regulators may impose earlier deadlines • New requirements for large US banks will be stricter than Basel III – Sheila Bair, FDIC, 10/20/10 • FRB to adopt capital standard for Large BHCs/Significant Non-banks in consultation with Financial Stability Oversight Council • These may trickle down to all • Higher than normal minimum capital requirements already being imposed through examination/application process – most regulators want 8 – 10% Tier 1 and 10 – 12% (Risk-based)

  31. Significance of Small BHC Policy • Permits debt levels at small BHCs that are far higher than those permitted for larger BHCs • Policy permits a small BHC (at $500 million or less in assets) to incur debt and to downstream proceeds to its subsidiary banks as low cost, non-dilutive Tier 1 capital to fund acquisitions or critical ownership restructuring transactions • BHC debt incurred to acquire original bank or additional banks cannot exceed 75% of purchase price • BHC debt must be retired in 25 years • BHC debt to equity ratio must be reduced to .30 to 1.0 within 12 years • Each subsidiary bank must be well capitalized or expected to be soon • BHC may not pay dividends if BHC debt to equity ratio is greater than 1.0 to 1.0 • Small BHC policy does not apply to BHCs if the BHC Is engaged in significant non-banking activities directly or through a subsidiary; conducts significant off-balance sheet activities, including securitizations or asset management, directly or through a subsidiary; or has a significant amount of debt or equity securities (other than trust preferred securities) that are registered with the SEC
