TO:

The Chief Executive Officer of each
member bank and others concerned in
the Eleventh Federal Reserve District
SUBJECT
Report on Indebtedness of Executive Officers and
Principal Shareholders and Their Related Interests to
Correspondent Banks (Form FFIEC 004)
DETAILS

Executive officers and principal shareholders subject to the
reporting requirements set forth under Regulation 0 (Loans to Executive
Officers, Directors, and Principal Shareholders of Member Banks) must file
annual reports concerning their indebtedness, and the indebtedness of their
related interests, to the correspondent banks of the member bank. These
reports should be filed with the member bank’s board of directors by January
31 of each year. The 1994 report covers the period January 1 to December 31,
1993.
The enclosed Form FFIEC 004 has been approved by the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) to assist your bank and
your bank’s executive officers and principal shareholders in complying with
the reporting requirements. Please duplicate the form in accordance with your
needs. The required information may be provided on other similar forms.
Each member bank should notify its executive officers and principal
shareholders of the reporting requirements. The persons notified should
include any person who was an executive officer or principal shareholder of
the member bank during the period January 1 to December 31, 1993. Each member
bank is also required to make available to its executive officers and princi­
pal shareholders a list of the member bank’s correspondent banks. A "corre­
spondent bank" is defined as a bank that maintains one or more correspondent
accounts for a member bank during the calendar year, the total of which
exceeds certain amounts specified in Regulation 0.
Form FFIEC 004, or any similar form that is filed by executive
officers and principal shareholders, must be kept on file at the member bank
for a period of three years. These reports are not required to be made

General Instructions
1. Persons Required to File Report
A Report on Indebtedness to Correspondent Banks (Form FFIEC 004),
or a similar form containing identical information, must be completed by
each executive officer and each principal shareholder of an insured bank
who was indebted, or whose related interests were indebted, during the
calendar year for which the report is being submitted to a correspon­
dent bank of their bank. All insured banks are required by law to make
available to their executive officers and principal shareholders a list of
the bank’s correspondent banks. “Correspondent bank” means gener­
ally a bank that maintains a correspondent account in excess of a cer­
tain amount for the officer’s or shareholder’s bank.
The executive officer or principal shareholder must file a separate re­
port concerning the indebtedness of the officer or shareholder to each
correspondent bank and a separate report concerning the indebtedness
of each of the related interests of the officer or shareholder to each cor­
respondent bank. For example, if an executive officer is indebted to two
correspondent banks, the officer must file two reports, one for each cor­
respondent bank. If the executive officer has two related interests that
were also both indebted to two correspondent banks, the officer would
file six reports, two for the officer’s own indebtedness and four for the
indebtedness of the officer’s related interests. If the executive officer is
not indebted to a correspondent bank, but a related interest of the offi­
cer is indebted to a correspondent bank, the executive officer must file
a report concerning the indebtedness of the officer’s related interest to
the correspondent bank.
2. Where and When Reports are to be Filed
The executive officer or principal shareholder must submit the report on
indebtedness to correspondent banks to the board of directors of the
reporting person’s bank for each calendar year by January 31 of the next
year.
3. What Must be Reported
The reporting person must include in each report on indebtedness to
each correspondent bank: (a) the maximum amount of indebtedness out­
standing during the calendar year, and (b) the terms and conditions of
each extension of credit included in the maximum amount reported. The
terms and conditions to be reported are: (1) the original amount and date;
(2) the maturity date; (3) the payment terms; (4) the range of interest rates
charged during the calendar year; (5) whether the extension of credit
is secured or unsecured; (6) if secured, a description of the collateral
and its value; and (7) any unusual terms or conditions.

In determining the maximum amount of indebtedness of a principal share­
holder, the indebtedness of a member of the shareholder’s immediate
family is to be treated as indebtedness of the principal shareholder. Each
maximum amount of indebtedness reported may include several sepa­
rate extensions of credit. The reporting person must report separately
the terms and conditions of each of these extensions of credit.

“Immediate family” means the spouse of an individual, the individual’s
minor children, and any of the individual’s children (including adults)
residing in the individual’s home. For reporting purposes, only one
individual in the immediate family must file reports if that individual’s
reports include the information on indebtedness of the individual’s
immediate family.

Each report on indebtedness to each correspondent bank must also
include the amount of indebtedness outstanding to the correspondent
bank ten business days before the date on which the report on indebt­
edness is filed. If the information on the amount of indebtedness out­
standing to a correspondent bank ten business days before the filing of
the report is not available or cannot be readily ascertained by the filing
date, an estimate of the amount of such indebtedness may be filed,
provided that the actual amount of such indebtedness is submitted to
the bank’s board of directors within the next thirty days.

c. Control of a company is defined in section 215.2(b) of Regulation O
as generally ownership or control of 25 percent or more of a com­
pany’s outstanding voting shares; however, the regulation presumes
control in some cases where less than 25 percent ownership or con­
trol exists.

d. “Related interest” means (1) a company that is controlled by a per­
son or (2) a political or campaign committee that is controlled by a
person or the funds or services of which will benefit a person.

4. Definitions
The following definitions are intended to provide general guidance in com­
pleting this report. For precise definitions, see the Federal Reserve
Board’s Regulation O (12 CFR Part 215) and Part 349 of the FDIC’s Rules
and Regulations (12 CFR Part 349).
a. “Executive officer” is defined in section 215.2 of Regulation O and
means generally an individual who participates or who has authority
to participate (other than in the capacity of a director) in major
policymaking functions of the bank. Certain categories of bank officers
(e.g., vice presidents) are presumed in Regulation O to be executive
officers unless they are excluded by resolution of the board of direc­
tors of the bank or by its bylaws from participation in major policymak­
ing functions of the bank and do not participate therein.
b. “Principal Shareholder” means any individual or company (other than
an insured bank or a foreign bank) that, directly or indirectly, owns,
controls, or has the power to vote more than 10 percent of any class
of voting securities of the bank. The term includes a person that con­
trols a principal shareholder (e.g., a person that controls a bank holding
company).
For the purpose of determining who is a principal shareholder, shares
owned or controlled by a member of the individual’s immediate family
are presumed to be controlled by the individual.

e. “Indebtedness” includes any extension of credit (as defined in sec­
tion 215.3 of Regulation O), but does not include:

i. commercial paper, bonds and debentures issued in the ordinary
course of business; and
ii. indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $5,000 or less from each
correspondent bank, provided the credit is incurred under terms
that are not more favorable than those offered the general public.
f

“Maximum amount of indebtedness” means, at the option of the report­
ing person, either (i) the highest outstanding indebtedness during the
calendar year for which the report is made, or (ii) the highest end
of the month indebtedness outstanding during the calendar year for
which the report is made. The method chosen should be consistently
used for all indebtedness to the same correspondent bank. The report­
ing person must indicate on the report whether the maximum amount
was determined as of the end of the month or on a daily basis.

g. “Correspondent bank,” “company,” and other terms pertinent to this
report are defined in the Board’s Regulation 0 ,1 2 CFR Part 215 and
Part 349 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Rules and
Regulations, 12 CFR Part 349.
