May 2010 Federal Reserve System Monthly Report on Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Balance Sheet Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Purpose The Federal Reserve prepares this monthly report as part of its efforts to enhance transparency about the range of programs and tools that have been implemented in response to the financial crisis and to ensure appropriate accountability to the Congress and the public. The Federal Reserve’s statutory mandate in conducting monetary policy is to foster maximum employment and stable prices. Financial stability is a critical prerequisite for achieving sustainable economic growth and price stability, and the steps taken since the summer of 2007 were necessary to support the liquidity of financial institutions and to foster improved conditions in financial markets in light of the extraordinary strains. Note: Financial information in this report has not been audited. Financial data are audited annually and are available at www. federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_fedfinancials.htm. This report provides detailed information on the policy tools that have been implemented since the summer of 2007. It also provides financial reporting for the first quarter of 2010. In fulfillment of Section 129 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, additional information on the status of certain credit facilities implemented in response to the financial crisis is included as Appendix A of this report. Information related to the Federal Reserve’s temporary liquidity programs and facilities that have closed or expired is included in Appendix B of this report.

The Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) remains open to provide financing to investors to acquire newly issued commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS); this facility is scheduled to close on June 30, 2010. • Earlier this month, the Federal Reserve reestablished temporary U.S. dollar liquidity swap facilities with a number of foreign central banks in response to the re-emergence of strains in offshore U.S. dollar short-term funding markets. Temporary swap arrangements—which had expired on February 1, 2010—have been re-established with the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, and the Swiss National Bank. The first drawing on the new swap lines settled on May 12, 2010. Detailed information about drawings on the swap lines by the participating central banks is presented on the Federal Reserve Bank Table 1.

Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Federal Reserve’s Balance Sheet May 2010 of New York’s (FRBNY’s) website at www.newyorkfed.org/markets/fxswap. • All remaining holdings of commercial paper under the Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF), which provided a backstop to U.S. issuers of commercial paper through a specially created limited liability company (LLC) called CPFF LLC, matured on April 26, 2010. The CPFF incurred no losses on its commercial paper holdings and accumulated nearly $5 billion in earnings, primarily from interest income, credit enhancement fees, and registration fees. The Federal Reserve anticipates that the CPFF LLC will be dissolved following the payment of any residual expenses and the termination and expiration of existing contractual agreements. • On April 30, 2010, the Federal Reserve approved amendments to Regulation D (Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions) authorizing the Reserve Banks to offer term deposits to institutions that are eligible to receive earnings on their balances at Reserve Banks. The amendments are effective on June 4, 2010. Term deposits will facilitate the implementation of monetary policy by providing a new tool by which the Federal Reserve can manage the aggregate quantity of reserve balances held by depository institutions. Reserve banks will offer term deposits through the Term Deposit Facility (TDF). 3 On May 10, 2010, the Federal Reserve authorized up to five small-value offerings of term deposits under the TDF to be conducted in coming months. The development of the TDF and the small-value TDF offerings is part of a process of prudent planning and has no implications for monetary policy in the near term. More information on term deposits and future small-value offerings is available through the TDF Resource Center at www.frbservices.org/centralbank/ term_deposit_facility.html. • On April 30, 2010, the FRBNY published the Reverse Repurchase Program Form Master Repurchase Agreement for Money Funds (MRA), which sets out the legal terms and conditions under which FRBNY and its money market mutual fund counterparties may undertake reverse repurchase agreement transactions (reverse repos). Publication of the MRA is part of the Federal Reserve’s larger effort to prepare for the potential need to conduct large-scale reverse repos with an expanded set of counterparties in addition to the existing set of primary dealer counterparties. The first set of expanded counterparties is domestic money market mutual funds. These actions are part of a process of prudent planning by the Federal Reserve and have no implications for monetary policy decisions in the near term. 4 Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Balance Sheet System Open Market Account and Liquidity Arrangements with Foreign Central Banks System Open Market Account (SOMA) Recent Developments • The SOMA portfolio continued to expand, reflecting ongoing settlements associated with the Federal Reserve’s agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) purchase program. As previously announced, the purchase phase of the MBS purchase program was completed on March 31, 2010; settlements are expected to continue over the next few months. • As of April 28, 2010, the Federal Reserve held approximately $1,096 billion of agency MBS. This represents a $28 billion increase over the level of agency MBS holdings on March 31, 2010, and is attributable to the settlement of previously executed purchases. Background Open market operations (OMOs)—the purchase and sale of securities in the open market by a central bank—are a key tool used by the Federal Reserve in the implementation of monetary policy. Historically, the Federal Reserve has used OMOs to adjust the supply of reserve balances so as to keep the federal funds rate around the target federal funds rate established by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). OMOs are conducted by the Trading Desk at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), which acts as agent for the FOMC. The range of securities that the Federal Reserve is authorized to purchase and sell is relatively limited. The authority to conduct OMOs is granted under Section 14 of the Federal Reserve Act. OMOs can be divided into two types: permanent and temporary. Permanent OMOs are outright purchases or sales of securities for the SOMA, the Federal Reserve’s portfolio. Permanent OMOs traditionally have been used to accommodate the longer-term factors driving the expansion of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet, principally the trend growth of currency in circulation. More recently, the expansion of SOMA securities holdings has been driven by large-scale asset purchase programs (LSAPs). Temporary OMOs typically are used to address reserve needs that are deemed to be transitory in nature. These operations are either repurchase agreements (repos) or reverse repurchase agreements (reverse repos). Under a repo, the Trading Desk buys a security under an agreement to resell that security in the future; under a reverse repo, the Trading Desk sells a security under an agreement to repurchase that security in the future. A repo is the economic equivalent of a collateralized loan; conversely, a reverse repo is the economic equivalent of collateralized borrowing. In both types of transactions, the difference between the purchase and sale prices reflects the interest on the loan or borrowing. The composition of the SOMA is shown in table 2. Each OMO affects the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet; the size and nature of the effect depend on the specifics of the operation. The Federal Reserve publishes its balance sheet each week in the H.4.1 statistical release, “Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Consolidated Statement of Condition of Reserve Banks” (www.federalreserve.gov/ releases/h41). The release separately reports securities held outright, repos, and reverse repos. To help reduce the cost and increase the availability of credit for the purchase of houses, on November 25, 2008, the Federal Reserve announced that it would buy direct obligations of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, and MBS guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. The FOMC authorized purchases of up to $1.25 trillion of agency MBS and up to $200 billion of agency direct obligations. Subsequently, in November 2009, the FOMC announced that agency debt purchases would be about $175 billion. This amount, while somewhat less than the previously announced maximum of Table 2.

Does not include investments denominated in foreign currencies or unsettled transactions. 1. Includes inflation compensation. 2. Direct obligations of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks. 3. Guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. Current face value of the securities, which is the remaining principal balance of the underlying mortgages. May 2010 $200 billion, was consistent with the path of purchases and reflected the limited availability of agency debt. The Federal Reserve also determined that supporting the MBS “dollar roll” market promotes the goals of the MBS purchase program. Dollar roll transactions consist of a purchase or sale of “to be announced” (TBA) MBS combined with an agreement to sell or purchase TBA MBS on a specified future date. Because of principal and interest payments and occasional delays in the settlement of transactions, the Federal Reserve also holds some cash and short-term investments associated with the MBS purchase program. The FRBNY announced in August 2009 that it would streamline the set of external investment managers for the agency-guaranteed MBS purchase program, reducing the number of investment managers from four to two. As of March 2, 2010, the FRBNY began to use its own staff on select days to transact directly in the secondary market for agency MBS as part of the FOMC’s LSAPs, consistent with the announcement of November 2009. These changes were not performancerelated: the FRBNY had anticipated that it would adjust its use of external investment managers as it gained more experience with the program. In September 2009, the Federal Reserve began to purchase on-the-run agency securities—the most recently issued securities—in order to mitigate market dislocations and promote overall market functioning. Prior to this change, purchases were focused on offthe-run agency securities. On September 23, 2009, the FOMC announced its intention to gradually slow the pace of its purchases of agency-guaranteed MBS and agency debt. In implementing this directive, the Trading Desk of the FRBNY announced that it would scale back the average weekly purchase amounts of agency MBS and reduce the size and frequency of agency debt purchases. As anticipated by the FOMC, these transactions were completed by the end of the first quarter of 2010. The Federal Reserve’s outright holdings of MBS are reported weekly in tables 1, 3, 10, and 11 of the H.4.1 statistical release. In addition, detailed data on all settled agency MBS holdings are published weekly on the FRBNY website at www.newyorkfed.org/markets/ soma/sysopen_accholdings.html. In March 2009, the FOMC announced that it would also purchase up to $300 billion of longer-term Treasury securities to help improve conditions in private credit markets. The Federal Reserve has purchased a range of securities across the maturity spectrum, including Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). The bulk of purchases have been in intermedi- 5 ate maturities. In August 2009, the FOMC announced that it would gradually slow the pace of these transactions in order to promote a smooth transition in markets as purchases of these Treasury securities were completed. As anticipated, the purchases were completed by the end of October 2009. In addition, the Federal Reserve has long operated an overnight securities lending facility as a vehicle to address market pressures for specific Treasury securities. Since July 9, 2009, this facility has lent housingrelated government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) securities that are particularly sought after. Amounts outstanding under this facility are reported in table 1A of the H.4.1 statistical release. In December 2009, the FRBNY conducted a set of small-scale, real-value, triparty reverse repurchase transactions (reverse repos) with primary dealers. Reverse repos are a tool that could be used to support a reduction in monetary accommodation at the appropriate time. These transactions were conducted to ensure operational readiness at the Federal Reserve, the major clearing banks, and the primary dealers, and had no material impact on the availability of reserves or on market rates. On January, 11, 2010, the FRBNY published a revised policy regarding the administration of its relationships with primary dealers intended to provide greater transparency about the significant business standards expected of primary dealers and to offer clearer guidance on the process to become a primary dealer. Substantive changes from the previous policy included: a more structured presentation of the business standards expected of a primary dealer; a more formal application process for prospective primary dealers; an increase in the minimum net capital requirement, from $50 million to $150 million; a seasoning requirement of one year of relevant operations before a prospective dealer may submit an application; and a clear notice of actions the FRBNY may take against a noncompliant primary dealer. On March 8, 2010, the FRBNY announced the beginning of a program to expand its counterparties for conducting reverse repos. This expansion is intended to enhance the capacity of such operations to drain reserves beyond what could likely be conducted through primary dealers, the FRBNY’s traditional counterparties. The additional counterparties will not be eligible to participate in transactions conducted by the FRBNY other than reverse repos. Over time, the FRBNY expects that it will modify the counterparty criteria to include a broader set of counterparties and anticipates that it will publish criteria for additional types of firms and for expanded eligibility within previously identified types of firms. In this context, the 6 FRBNY published the Reverse Repurchase Transaction (RRP) Eligibility Criteria for Money Funds for the first set of expanded counterparties, domestic money market mutual funds. Liquidity Swaps Recent Developments • In early May 2010, the Federal Reserve reestablished temporary dollar liquidity swap lines with the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, and the Swiss National Bank in response to the re-emergence of strains in offshore short-term U.S. dollar funding markets. These facilities are designed to help improve liquidity conditions in U.S. dollar funding markets and to prevent the spread of strains to other markets and financial centers. These swap arrangements are authorized through January 2011. The first drawing on the new swap lines settled on May 12, 2010. Detailed information about drawings on the swap lines by the participating central banks is presented on the FRBNY’s website at www.newyorkfed.org/markets/fxswap. • The total amount of liquidity provided under these lines was $9.2 billion as of May 19, 2010. Background Because of the global character of bank funding markets, the Federal Reserve has at times coordinated with other central banks to provide liquidity. During the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve entered into agreements to establish temporary reciprocal currency arrangements (central bank liquidity swap lines) with a number of foreign central banks (FCBs). Two types of temporary swap lines were established: dollar liquidity lines and foreign currency liquidity lines. These temporary arrangements expired on February 1, 2010. However, in May 2010, temporary dollar liquidity swaps were re-established with certain FCBs. The FRBNY operates the swap lines under the authority granted under Section 14 of the Federal Reserve Act and in compliance with authorizations, policies, and procedures established by the FOMC. Dollar Liquidity Swaps On December 12, 2007, the FOMC announced that it had authorized dollar liquidity swap lines with the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank to provide liquidity in U.S. dollars to overseas markets. Subsequently, the FOMC authorized dollar liquidity Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Balance Sheet swap lines between the Federal Reserve and each of the following FCBs: the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Banco Central do Brasil, the Bank of Canada, the Bank of Japan, Danmarks Nationalbank, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Korea, the Banco de Mexico, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, Norges Bank, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Sveriges Riksbank, and the Swiss National Bank. These temporary dollar liquidity swap arrangements expired on February 1, 2010. In May 2010, the FOMC re-authorized dollar liquidity swap lines with the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, and the Swiss National Bank through January 2011. Swaps under these lines consist of two transactions. When an FCB draws on its swap line with the FRBNY, the FCB sells a specified amount of its currency to the FRBNY in exchange for dollars at the prevailing market exchange rate. The FRBNY holds the foreign currency in an account at the FCB. The dollars that the FRBNY provides are then deposited in an account that the FCB maintains at the FRBNY. At the same time, the FRBNY and the FCB enter into a binding agreement for a second transaction that obligates the FCB to buy back its currency on a specified future date at the same exchange rate. The second transaction unwinds the first at the same exchange rate used in the initial transaction; as a result, the recorded value of the foreign currency amounts is not affected by changes in the market exchange rate. At the conclusion of the second transaction, the FCB compensates the FRBNY at a market-based rate. When the FCB lends the dollars it obtained by drawing on its swap line to institutions in its jurisdiction, the dollars are transferred from the FCB account at the FRBNY to the account of the bank that the borrowing institution uses to clear its dollar transactions. The FCB is obligated to return the dollars to the FRBNY under the terms of the agreement, and the FRBNY is not a counterparty to the loan extended by the FCB. The FCB bears the credit risk associated with the loans it makes to institutions in its jurisdiction. The foreign currency that the Federal Reserve acquires in these transactions is recorded as an asset on the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. In tables 1, 10, and 11 of the weekly H.4.1 statistical release, the dollar value of amounts that the foreign central banks have drawn but not yet repaid is reported in the line entitled “Central bank liquidity swaps.” Dollar liquidity swaps have maturities ranging from overnight to three months. Table 2 of the H.4.1 statistical release reports the maturity distribution of the outstanding dollar liquidity swaps. May 2010 Foreign-Currency Liquidity Swap Lines On April 6, 2009, the FOMC announced foreigncurrency liquidity swap lines with the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, and the Swiss National Bank. These lines were designed to provide the Federal Reserve with the capacity to offer liquidity to U.S. institutions in foreign currency should a need arise. These lines mirrored the existing dollar liquidity swap lines, which provided 7 FCBs with the capacity to offer U.S. dollar liquidity to financial institutions in their jurisdictions. These foreign-currency swap lines provided the Federal Reserve with the ability to address financial strains by providing foreign currency-denominated liquidity to U.S. institutions in amounts of up to £30 billion (sterling), €80 billion (euro), ¥10 trillion (yen), and CHF 40 billion (Swiss francs). The Federal Reserve did not draw on these swap lines, and they expired on February 1, 2010. 8 Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Balance Sheet Lending Facilities to Support Overall Market Liquidity Lending to Depository Institutions Table 4. Concentration of Discount Window Credit Outstanding to Depository Institutions Recent Developments For four weeks ending April 28, 2010 • Credit provided to depository institutions through the discount window has continued to decline. • As previously announced, the final auction under the Term Auction Facility (TAF) was conducted on March 8, 2010; credit extended under that auction matured on April 8, 2010. Background information about the TAF has been moved to Appendix B of this report. • As indicated in table 5, the lendable value of total collateral pledged by depository institutions with discount window loans outstanding on April 28, 2010, was $13 billion, more than twice the amount of credit outstanding. Background The discount window helps to relieve liquidity strains for individual depository institutions and for the banking system as a whole by providing a source of funding in times of need. Much of the statutory framework that governs lending to depository institutions is contained in Section 10B of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended. The general policies that govern discount window lending are set forth in the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation A. Depository institutions have, since 2003, had access to three types of discount window credit—primary Table 3.

Primary credit is available to depository institutions in generally sound financial condition with few administrative requirements. Secondary credit may be provided to depository institutions that do not qualify for primary credit, subject to review by the lending Reserve Bank. Seasonal credit provides short-term funds to smaller depository institutions that experience regular seasonal swings in loans and deposits. On August 17, 2007, in order to promote orderly market functioning, the Federal Reserve narrowed the spread between the primary credit rate (generally referred to as the discount rate) and the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC’s) target federal funds rate to 50 basis points and began to allow the provision of primary credit for terms as long as 30 days. On March 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve further narrowed the spread between the primary credit rate and the target federal funds rate to 25 basis points, and increased the maximum maturity of primary credit loans to 90 days. On November 17, 2009, in response to improved financial conditions, the Federal Reserve announced that the maximum maturity on primary credit loans would be reduced to 28 days effective January 14, 2010. On February 18, 2010, the Federal Reserve increased the spread between the primary credit rate and the top of the target range for the federal funds rate to 50 basis points, effective February 19, 2010. The Federal Reserve also announced that, effective March 18, 2010, the typical maximum maturity of primary credit loans would be shortened to overnight. These changes represented further normalization of the Federal Reserve’s lending facilities and did not signal any change in the outlook for the economy or for monetary policy. 9 May 2010 In extending credit to depository institutions, the Federal Reserve closely monitors the financial condition of borrowers. Monitoring the financial condition of depository institutions is a four-step process designed to minimize the risk of loss to the Federal Reserve posed by weak or failing depository institutions. The first step is monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the safety and soundness of all depository institutions that access or may access the discount window and the payment services provided by the Federal Reserve. The second step is identifying institutions whose condition, characteristics, or affiliation would present higher-thanacceptable risk to the Federal Reserve in the absence of controls on their access to Federal Reserve lending facilities and other Federal Reserve services. The third step is communicating—to staff within the Federal Reserve System and to other supervisory agencies, if and when necessary—relevant information about those institutions identified as posing higher risk. The fourth step is implementing appropriate measures to mitigate the risks posed by such entities. At the heart of the condition-monitoring process is an internal rating system that provides a framework for identifying institutions that may pose undue risks to the Federal Reserve. The rating system relies mostly on information from each institution’s primary supervisor, including CAMELS ratings, to identify potentially problematic institutions and classify them according to the severity of the risk they pose to the Federal Reserve.1 Having identified institutions that pose a higher risk, the Federal Reserve then puts in place a standard set of risk controls that become increasingly stringent as the risk posed by an institution grows; individual Reserve Banks may implement additional risk controls to further mitigate risk if they deem it necessary.

The Federal Reserve applies larger haircuts, and thus assigns lower lendable values, to assets for which no market price is available relative to comparable assets for which a market price is available. A borrower may be required to pledge additional collateral if its financial condition weakens. Collateral is pledged under the terms and conditions specified in the Federal Reserve Banks’ standard lending agreement, Operating Circular No. 10 (www.frbservices.org/ files/regulations/pdf/operating_circular_10.pdf). Discount window loans are made with recourse to the borrower beyond the pledged collateral. Nonetheless, collateral plays an important role in mitigating the Collateral Table 6.

The Federal Reserve generally accepts as collateral for discount window loans any assets that meet regulatory standards for sound asset quality. This category of assets includes most performing loans and most investment-grade securities, although for some types of securities (including commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and certain non-dollar-denominated foreign securities) only AAA-rated securities are accepted. An institution may not pledge as collateral any instruments that the institution or its affiliates have issued. Additional collateral is required for discount window loans with remaining maturity of more than 28 days—for these loans, borrowing only up to 75 percent of available collateral is permitted. To ensure that they can borrow from the Federal Reserve, should the need arise, many depository institutions that do not have an outstanding discount window loan nevertheless routinely pledge collateral. Changes to the lending margins on discount window collateral took effect on October 19, 2009. The Federal Reserve periodically reviews its collateral valuation practices, and the new collateral margins reflect the results of a broad-based review, which began before the financial crisis, of methodology and data sources. For more information on these changes to collateral margins, refer to the Discount Window and Payments System Risk public website, www.frbdiscountwindow. org. As shown in table 7, depository institutions that borrow from the Federal Reserve generally maintain collateral in excess of their current borrowing levels.

The CPFF incurred no losses on its commercial paper holdings, and accumulated nearly $5 billion in earnings primarily from interest income, credit enhancement fees, and registration fees. The CPFF’s holdings of commercial paper, which peaked at $350 billion in January 2009, fell to zero on April 26, 2010, as remaining issuers repaid their commercial paper at maturity. • The cash equivalents and other securities held by the CPFF limited liability company (CPFF LLC) have matured, and the Federal Reserve expects that it will dissolve the LLC following the payment of accrued professional fees and the termination or expiration of existing contractual arrangements. Background The CPFF, which was authorized under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, was designed to support liquidity in the commercial paper markets. The CPFF provided a liquidity backstop to U.S. issuers of commercial paper through a specially created limited liability company (LLC) called CPFF LLC. This LLC purchased three-month unsecured and asset-backed commercial paper directly from eligible issuers. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) provides financing to the LLC, and the FRBNY’s loan to the LLC is secured by all of the assets of the LLC, including those purchased with the accumulated upfront fees paid by the issuers. Breakdowns of commercial paper held in CPFF LLC, by type and credit rating, are shown in tables 9 and 10, respectively. The CPFF was announced on October 7, 2008, and purchases of commercial paper began on October 27, 2008. This program is administered by the FRBNY, and the assets and liabilities of the LLC are consolidated onto the balance sheet of the FRBNY. The net Table 9.

Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) Recent Developments • As previously announced, newly issued commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) may be financed using the TALF through June 30, 2010. In April 2010, there were no new TALF loans requested against newly issued CMBS collateral. Background On November 25, 2008, the Federal Reserve announced the creation of the TALF under the authority of Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. The TALF is a funding facility under which the FRBNY extends credit with a term of up to five years to holders of eligible ABS. The TALF is intended to assist financial markets in accommodating the credit needs of consumers and businesses of all sizes by facilitating the issuance of ABS collateralized by a variety of consumer and business loans; it is also intended to improve market conditions for ABS more generally. Eligible collateral initially included U.S. dollardenominated ABS that (1) are backed by student loans, auto loans, credit card loans, and loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and (2) have a credit rating in the highest investment-grade rating category from two or more eligible nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) and do not have a credit rating below the highest investmentgrade rating category from an eligible NRSRO. The loans provided through the TALF are non-recourse, meaning that the obligation of the borrower can be discharged by surrendering the collateral to the FRBNY. Borrowers commit their own risk capital in the form of haircuts against the collateral, which serve as the borrower’s equity in the transaction and act as a buffer to absorb any decline in the collateral’s value in the event the loan is not repaid. Using funds authorized under the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the U.S. Treasury has committed to lend up to $20 billion to TALF LLC to provide protection against losses to the FRBNY. On February 10, 2009, the Federal Reserve Board announced that it would consider expanding the size of the TALF to as much as $1 trillion and potentially broaden the eligible collateral to encompass other types of newly issued AAA-rated ABS, such as ABS backed by commercial mortgages or private-label (nonagency) ABS backed by residential mortgages. Any expansion of the TALF would be supported by the Treasury’s providing additional funds from the TARP. As of April 28, 2010, however, the authorized limit for the program remained at $200 billion. Between March 2009 and May 2009, the Federal Reserve expanded the range of eligible collateral for TALF loans to include: — ABS backed by loans or leases related to business equipment, leases of vehicle fleets, floorplan loans, mortgage servicing advances, and insurance premium finance loans; and — newly issued CMBS and certain high-quality CMBS issued before January 1, 2009 (so-called “legacy” CMBS). High-quality newly issued and legacy CMBS must have at least two AAA ratings from a list of eligible NRSROs—DBRS, Inc.; Fitch Ratings; Moody’s InvesTable 11.

The Federal Reserve also authorized TALF loans with maturities of five years, available for the June 2009 funding, to finance purchases of CMBS, ABS backed by student loans, and ABS backed by loans guaranteed by the SBA. The Federal Reserve indicated that up to $100 billion of TALF loans could have fiveyear maturities and that some of the interest on collateral financed with a five-year loan may be diverted toward an accelerated repayment of the loan, especially in the fourth and fifth years. On September 1, 2009, the following four nonprimary dealer broker-dealers were named as agents for the TALF: CastleOak Securities, LP; Loop Capital Markets, LLC; Wells Fargo Securities, LLC; and The Williams Capital Group, LP. These agents, like the primary dealers, may represent borrowers in accessing the facility. On October 5, 2009, the Federal Reserve announced two changes to the procedures for evaluating ABS pledged to the TALF. The first change was to propose a rule that would establish criteria for the FRBNY to use when determining which NRSROs’ ratings are accepted for establishing the eligibility of ABS to be pledged as collateral to the TALF. The proposed rule was intended to strike a balance between the goal of promoting competition among NRSROs and the goal of ensuring appropriate protection for the U.S. taxpayer against credit risk in TALF. The Board’s rule regarding NRSROs does not apply to discount window lending or to other extensions of credit provided by the Federal Reserve System. The rule establishing the process for approving NRSROs was finalized on December 4, 2009. The second change was the implementation by the FRBNY of a formal risk assessment of all proposed collateral for TALF ABS transactions, in addition to continuing to require that collateral for TALF loans receive two AAA ratings from TALFeligible NRSROs. This was intended to protect against TALF taking on excessive risk, as well as to address any increased credit risk in the program caused by an expansion of the set of NRSROs accepted by the TALF. The goal of the risk-assessment process for ABS is to ensure that TALF collateral continues to comply with the existing high standards for credit quality, transparency, and simplicity of structure. In accordance with the Board’s rule, the FRBNY announced that the credit ratings of four NRSROs— DBRS, Inc.; Fitch Ratings; Moody’s Investors Service; and Standard & Poor’s—would be accepted for establishing the eligibility of selected types of nonmortgage-backed ABS as collateral for the TALF. Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Balance Sheet These NRSROs’ ratings were accepted beginning with the TALF’s February 2010 non-mortgage-backed ABS subscription. The Federal Reserve Board initially authorized the offering of new TALF loans through December 31, 2009, but subsequently authorized an extension of the program until March 31, 2010, for loans against newly issued ABS and legacy CMBS, and until June 30, 2010, for loans against newly issued CMBS. Collateral and Risk Management Under the TALF, the FRBNY lends on a non-recourse basis to holders of certain ABS backed by consumer, business, and commercial mortgage loans. Eligible collateral for the TALF includes U.S. dollar-denominated ABS that (1) have a credit rating in the highest longterm or, in the case of non-mortgage-backed ABS, the highest short-term investment-grade rating category (for example, AAA) from at least two eligible NRSROs and (2) do not have a credit rating below the highest investment-grade rating category from an eligible NRSRO. Eligible small-business-loan ABS also include U.S. dollar-denominated cash ABS for which all of the underlying credit exposures are fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. All or substantially all of the credit exposures underlying eligible ABS must be exposures to U.S.domiciled obligors or with respect to real property located in the United States or its territories. The underlying credit exposures of eligible ABS must be student loans, auto loans, credit card loans, loans or leases relating to business equipment, leases of vehicle fleets, floorplan loans, mortgage servicing advances, insurance premium finance loans, commercial mortgages, or loans guaranteed by the SBA. Except for ABS for which the underlying credit exposures are SBA-guaranteed loans, eligible newly issued ABS must be issued on or after January 1, 2009. Eligible legacy CMBS must be issued before January 1, 2009, must be senior in payment priority to all other interests in the underlying pool of commercial mortgages, and must meet certain other criteria designed to protect the Federal Reserve and the Treasury from credit risk. In almost all cases, eligible collateral for a particular borrower must not be backed by loans originated or securitized by the borrower or by an affiliate of the borrower. The FRBNY’s loan is secured by the ABS collateral, with the FRBNY lending an amount equal to the market value of the ABS, less a haircut. The lendable value of the ABS may be adjusted based on a risk assessment by the FRBNY. The Federal Reserve has 13 May 2010 Table 12A.

Maiden Lane LLC Outstanding Principal Balance of Loans • Cash flows generated from the Maiden Lane II LLC and Maiden Lane III LLC portfolios are used to pay down the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s (FRBNY) loans to those LLCs. For the first quarter of 2010, repayments totaled approximately $2.0 billion, as presented in tables 20 and 23. To date, cash flows from the Maiden Lane portfolio have been reinvested primarily in agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Millions of dollars Background During the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve has extended credit to certain specific institutions in order to avert disorderly failures that could result in severe dislocations and strains for the financial system as a whole and harm the U.S. economy. In certain other cases, the Federal Reserve has committed to extend credit, if necessary, to support important financial firms. Bear Stearns and Maiden Lane LLC In March 2008, the FRBNY and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPMC) entered into an arrangement related to financing provided by the FRBNY to facilitate the merger of JPMC and The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (Bear Stearns). In connection with the transaction, the Federal Reserve Board authorized the FRBNY, under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, to extend credit to a Delaware limited liability company, Maiden Lane LLC, to partially fund the purchase of a portfolio of mortgage-related securities, residential and commercial mortgage loans, and associated hedges from Bear Stearns. The LLC is managing its assets through time to maximize the repayment of credit extended to the LLC and to minimize disruption to the financial markets.

American International Group (AIG) • On May 7, 2010, AIG reported net income of $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of $4.4 billion in the first quarter of 2009. Recent Developments • The balance on the AIG revolving credit facility increased by $1.6 billion between March 31 and April 28, 2010, as presented in table 19A.

Background On September 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve, with the full support of the Treasury Department, announced that it would lend to AIG to prevent a disorderly failure of this systemically important firm, protect the financial system and the broader economy, and provide the company time to restructure its operations in an Table 19B.

Initially, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) extended an $85 billion line of credit to the company. The terms of the credit facility are disclosed on the Board’s website at www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/ bst_supportspecific.htm. Loans outstanding under this facility are presented weekly in table 1 of the H.4.1 statistical release and included in “Other loans” in tables 10 and 11 of the H.4.1 statistical release. On November 10, 2008, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury announced a restructuring of the government’s financial support to AIG. As part of this restructuring, two new limited liability companies (LLCs) were created, Maiden Lane II LLC and Maiden Lane III LLC, and the line of credit extended to AIG was reduced from $85 billion to $60 billion. (On October 8, 2008, the FRBNY was authorized to extend credit under a special securities borrowing facility to certain AIG subsidiaries. This arrangement was discontinued after the establishment of the Maiden Lane II facility.) More detail on these LLCs is reported in the remainder of this section. Additional information is included in tables 5 and 6 of the H.4.1 statistical release. On March 2, 2009, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury announced further restructuring of the government’s assistance to AIG, designed to enhance the company’s capital and liquidity in order to facilitate the orderly completion of the company’s global divestiture program. Additional information on the restructuring is available at www.federalreserve.gov/ newsevents/press/other/20090302a.htm. On April 17, 2009, the FRBNY implemented a loan restructuring adjustment that was previously approved and announced on March 2, 2009. The interest rate on the loan to AIG, the three-month Libor plus 300 basis points, was modified by removing the existing interest rate floor of 3.5 percent on the Libor component. Consistent with GAAP, as of July 29, 2009, the reported value of the AIG revolving credit extension was reduced by a $1.3 billion adjustment to reflect the loan restructuring. This restructuring adjustment is intended to recognize the economic effect of the reduced interest rate and will be recovered as the adjustment is amortized over the remaining term of the credit extension. The Federal Reserve expects that the credit extension, including interest and commitment fees under the modified terms, will be fully repaid. The lending under this facility is secured by a pledge of assets of AIG and its primary nonregulated subsidiaries, including all or a substantial portion of AIG’s ownership interest in its regulated U.S. and foreign subsidiaries. Furthermore, AIG’s obligations to the FRBNY are guaranteed by certain domestic, non- Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Balance Sheet regulated subsidiaries of AIG with more than $50 million in assets. On June 25, 2009, the FRBNY entered into agreements with AIG to carry out two transactions previously approved and announced on March 2, 2009, as part of the restructuring of the U.S. government’s assistance to AIG. These transactions were completed on December 1, 2009. Under these agreements, the FRBNY received preferred interests in two SPVs, AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC, formed to hold the outstanding common stock of AIG’s largest foreign insurance subsidiaries, AIA Group, Limited (AIA) and American Life Insurance Company (ALICO). In exchange, upon the closing of each transaction and the resulting issuance of preferred interests, the outstanding balance of, and amount available excluding capitalized interest and fees to, AIG under the revolving credit facility was reduced by $25 billion. Specifically, the maximum amount available was reduced from $60 billion to $35 billion. By establishing the AIA and ALICO SPVs as separate legal entities, these transactions positioned AIA and ALICO for future initial public offerings (IPOs) or sale. On the H.4.1 statistical release, accrued but unpaid dividends on the preferred interests in the two SPVs are included in “Other Federal Reserve assets” in table 1, and in “Other assets” in tables 10 and 11. On March 1, 2010, AIG announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the sale of AIA to Prudential plc for approximately $35.5 billion, including approximately $25 billion in cash, $8.5 billion in face value of equity and equity-linked securities, and $2.0 billion in face value of preferred stock of Prudential, subject to closing adjustments. AIG stated that the cash portion of the proceeds from the sale would be used to fully redeem the approximately $16 billion of preferred interests held by the FRBNY in the SPV that holds AIA, and to repay approximately $9 billion of its borrowing under the revolving credit facility with the FRBNY. The transaction was approved by the boards of directors of both AIG and Prudential, and is expected to close by the end of 2010, subject to approval by Prudential shareholders, regulatory approvals, and customary closing conditions. On May 17, 2010, Prudential announced a rights offering to raise approximately $20 billion in order to fund part of the cash portion of the purchase price, and announced plans to raise the remaining $5 billion through an offering of subordinated debt securities. AIG has agreed to subscribe for and receive up to $1.875 billion of the subordinated debt securities, in lieu of receiving an equivalent amount of cash, in the event the entire subordinated debt offering cannot be placed with other investors. 19 May 2010 Figure 3.

Figure 3 shows the amount of credit extended to AIG over time through the credit facility, including the principal, interest, and commitment fees, along with the facility ceiling. On March 8, 2010, AIG announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the sale of ALICO to MetLife, Inc. for approximately $15.5 billion, including $6.8 billion in cash and the remainder in equity securities of MetLife, subject to closing adjustments. AIG stated that the cash portion of the proceeds from this sale would be used to redeem an equivalent amount of the approximately $9 billion of preferred interests held by the FRBNY in the SPV that holds ALICO. The transaction was approved by the boards of directors of both AIG and MetLife, and is expected to close by the end of 2010, subject to the approvals of certain domestic and international regulatory bodies and to customary closing conditions. AIG has stated that it intends to monetize the securities received in the AIA and ALICO transactions over time, subject to market conditions, following the lapse of certain minimum holding periods set forth in the definitive agreements entered into with Prudential and Metlife. Excess cash proceeds and proceeds from AIG’s efforts to monetize the securities received in each transaction will be used to redeem any outstanding preferred interests and then to repay outstanding amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility with the FRBNY. Pursuant to authority granted by the Federal Reserve Board under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, the FRBNY, on December 12, 2008, lent approximately $19.5 billion to a newly formed Delaware limited liability company, Maiden Lane II LLC, to partially fund the purchase of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) from the securities lending portfolio of several regulated U.S. insurance subsidiaries of AIG. Maiden Lane II LLC acquired the RMBS, which had an aggregate par value of approximately $39.3 billion, at the then-current market value of the RMBS of approximately $20.8 billion, which was substantially below par value.2 The full portfolio of RMBS held by Maiden Lane II LLC serves as collateral for the Fed- In March 2010, the maximum amount available under the AIG revolving credit facility was reduced from $34.4 billion to approximately $34.1 billion in connection with AIG’s sale of equity interests in its subsidiary, CFG Colombia, and the sale of a portion of 2. The aggregate amount of interest and principal proceeds from RMBS received after the announcement date, but prior to the settlement date, net of financing costs, amounted to approximately $0.3 billion and therefore reduced the amount of funding required at settlement by $0.3 billion, from $20.8 billion to $20.5 billion.

Maiden Lane III LLC Securities Distribution as of March 31, 2010 23 May 2010 Federal Reserve Banks’ Financial Tables Quarterly Developments • The average daily balance of the Federal Reserve System Open Market Account (SOMA) holdings was approximately $2.0 trillion during the first quarter of 2010, as presented in table 27. Net earnings from the portfolio were approximately $17.9 billion; most of the earnings were attributable to interest income on U.S. Treasury securities and federal agency and government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) mortgagebacked securities (MBS). • Interest earned from Federal Reserve lending programs was approximately $0.7 billion during the first quarter 2010, as presented in table 28; interest earned on credit extended to American International Group, Inc. (AIG) and loans made by the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) accounted for most of the total. • Net income reported on the consolidated financial statements of the FRBNY, including changes in valuation, for the Maiden Lane, Maiden Lane II, and Maiden Lane III LLCs was approximately $1.0 billion, $0.1 billion, and $0.8 billion, respectively, in the first quarter of 2010.

Background The Federal Reserve Banks prepare annual financial statements reflecting balances as of December 31, and income and expenses for the year then ended. The Federal Reserve Bank financial statements also include the accounts and results of operations of several limited liability companies (LLCs) that have been consolidated with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) (the “consolidated LLCs”). The Board of Governors, the Federal Reserve Banks, and the consolidated LLCs are all subject to several levels of audit and review. The Reserve Banks’ financial statements and those of the consolidated LLC entities are audited annually by an independent audit- ing firm retained by the Board of Governors. To ensure auditor independence, the Board requires that the external auditor be independent in all matters relating to the audit. Specifically, the external auditor may not perform services for the Reserve Banks or others that would place it in a position of auditing its own work, making management decisions on behalf of the Reserve Banks, or in any other way impairing its audit independence. In addition, the Reserve Banks, including the consolidated LLCs, are subject to oversight by the Board. The Board of Governors’ financial statements are audited annually by an independent auditing firm retained by the Board’s Office of Inspector General (OIG). The audit firm also provides a report on compliance and on internal control over financial reporting in accordance with government auditing standards. The OIG also conducts audits, reviews, and investigations relating to the Board’s programs and operations as well as of Board functions delegated to the Reserve Banks. Audited annual financial statements for the Reserve Banks and Board of Governors are available at www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/ bst_fedfinancials.htm. In this report, the Federal Reserve prepares unaudited quarterly updates to tables included in the Annual Report. Combined Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income Table 26 presents unaudited combined Reserve Bank income and expense information for the first quarter of 2010. Tables 27 through 29 present information for the SOMA portfolio, the Federal Reserve loan programs, and the variable interest entities—the CPFF LLC; Maiden Lane, Maiden Lane II, and Maiden Lane III LLCs; and TALF LLC—for the first quarter of 2010. These tables are updated quarterly.

The fair value option was elected for all TALF loans. Recording all TALF loans at fair value, rather than at the remaining principal amount outstanding, results in consistent accounting treatment among all TALF-related transactions and provides the most appropriate presentation of the TALF program in the financial statements by matching the change in fair value of TALF loans, the related put agreement with the consolidated TALF LLC, and the valuation of the other beneficial interests in TALF LLC. 2. Represents the recognition of benefit plan deferred actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs. 3. The Board of Governors requires each Reserve Bank to distribute any remaining net earnings to the U.S. Treasury as interest on Federal Reserve notes, after providing for the payment of dividends and reservation of an amount necessary to equate surplus with capital paid-in. These distributions are made weekly based on estimated net earnings for the preceding week. The amount of each Bank’s weekly distribution to the U.S. Treasury is affected by significant losses and increases in capital paid-in at a Reserve Bank, requires that the Reserve Bank retain net earnings until the surplus is equal to the capital paid-in. The distributions to the U.S. Treasury are reported on an accrual basis; actual payments to the U.S. Treasury during the period from January 1, 2010, through March 31, 2010, were $18.4 billion. (MBS) making up the SOMA portfolio, are recorded at amortized cost on a settlement-date basis. Rather than using a fair value presentation, an amortized cost presentation more appropriately reflects the Reserve Banks’ purpose for holding these securities given the Federal Reserve’s unique responsibility to conduct monetary policy. Although the fair value of security holdings can be substantially greater than or less than the recorded value at any point in time, these unrealized gains or losses have no effect on the ability of the Reserve Banks to meet their financial obligations and responsibilities. As of March 31, 2010, the fair value of the U.S. Treasury and GSE debt securities held in the 25 May 2010 Table 27.

The FRBNY conducts purchases and sales of U.S. government securities under authorization and direction from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The FRBNY buys and sells securities at market prices from securities dealers and foreign and international account holders. The FOMC has also authorized the FRBNY to purchase and sell U.S. government securities under agreements to resell or repurchase such securities (commonly referred to as repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions). The SOMA holds foreign currency deposits and foreign government debt instruments denominated in foreign currencies with foreign central banks and the Bank for International Settlements. Central bank liquidity swaps are the foreign currencies that the Federal Reserve acquires and records as an asset (excluding accrued interest) on the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. On January 5, 2009, the Federal Reserve began purchasing MBS guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. Transactions in MBS are recorded on settlement dates, which can extend several Table 28 summarizes the average daily loan balances and interest income of the Federal Reserve for the first quarter of 2010. The most significant loan balance is the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF), which was established in 2009. As noted earlier in this report, during 2008 the Federal Reserve established several lending facilities under authority of Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. Many of these lending facilities have closed (see Appendix B in this report for a discussion of those facilities). The remaining facilities include the TALF and the credit extended to American International Group, Inc. (AIG); the Reserve Banks record amounts funded under these programs as loans. Interest income from these loan programs was about $0.7 billion during the first quarter of 2010. All loans must be fully collateralized to the satisfaction of the lending Reserve Bank, with an appropriate haircut applied to the collateral. At March 31, 2010, no loans were impaired, and an allowance for loan losses was not required. Loan Programs Financial Summary 26 Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Balance Sheet Table 28.

Earnings on TALF loans include interest income and fees of $239 million and losses on the valuation of loans of $156 million. 1. CPFF LLC commercial paper holdings are recorded at book value; other holdings are recorded at fair value. TALF LLC, Maiden Lane, Maiden Lane II, and Maiden Lane III holdings are recorded at fair value. 2. Includes accrued interest. 3. The other beneficial interest holder related to TALF LLC is the U.S. Treasury. JPMC is the beneficial interest holder for Maiden Lane LLC.

May 2010 Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) Financial Summary Table 29 summarizes the assets and liabilities of various consolidated VIEs previously discussed in this report. It also summarizes the net position of senior and subordinated interest holders and the allocation of the change in net assets to interest holders. The FRBNY is the sole beneficiary of CPFF LLC, the sole and managing member of TALF LLC, and the primary beneficiary of the Maiden Lane LLCs. Commercial paper holdings are recorded at book value, which includes amortized cost and related fees. Maiden Lane LLC, Maiden Lane II LLC, Maiden Lane III LLC, and TALF LLC holdings are recorded at fair value, which reflects an estimate of the price that would be received upon selling an asset if the transaction were to be conducted in an orderly market on the measurement date. Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of these LLCs have 27 been consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY. As a consequence of the consolidation, the extensions of credit from the FRBNY to the LLCs are eliminated. “Net portfolio assets available” represents the net assets available to beneficiaries of the consolidated VIEs and for repayment of loans extended by the FRBNY. “Net income (loss) allocated to FRBNY” represents the allocation of the change in net assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs available for repayment of the loans extended by the FRBNY and other beneficiaries of the consolidated VIEs. The differences between the fair value of the net assets available and the face value of the loans (including accrued interest) are indicative of gains or losses that would have been incurred by the beneficiaries if the assets had been fully liquidated at prices equal to the fair value as of March 31, 2010. 28 Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Balance Sheet Appendix A Additional Information Provided Pursuant to Section 129 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 In light of improved functioning of financial markets, on February 1, 2010, the Federal Reserve closed the Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF), Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF), Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF), and the Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (AMLF). As of that date, all loans under the TSLF, PDCF, and AMLF had been repaid in full, with interest, in accordance with the terms of each facility, and each of the facilities resulted in no loss to the Federal Reserve or taxpayers. All remaining commercial paper holdings of the CPFF matured on April 26, 2010, and the CPFF LLC is expected to be dissolved following the payment of expenses and the termination or expiration of existing contractual agreements. For the reasons discussed below, the Board does not anticipate that the Federal Reserve or taxpayers will incur any net loss on the loans provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) under the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF), to American International Group, Inc. (AIG), or to Maiden Lane LLC, Maiden Lane II LLC, or Maiden Lane III LLC (collectively, the “Maiden Lane facilities”). In making these assessments, the Board has considered, among other things, the terms and conditions governing the relevant facility and the type, nature, and value of the current collateral or other security arrangements associated with the facility. As discussed earlier in this report, the Federal Reserve has established various terms and conditions governing the types of collateral that may be pledged in support of a loan under a facility in order to mitigate the risk of loss. In the case of the Maiden Lane facilities, the Board also has considered analyses of the projected returns on the portfolio holdings of the respective special purpose vehicle (SPV) (the assets of which serve as collateral for the loan(s) extended to the SPV) conducted by the FRBNY or its advisors in connection with the most recent quarterly revaluation of the assets of each SPV. Commercial Paper Funding Facility As noted above, all commercial paper holdings of the CPFF have matured. The CPFF incurred no losses on its commercial paper holdings, and accumulated nearly $5 billion in earnings, primarily from interest income, credit enhancement fees, and registration fees. The cash equivalents and other securities held by the CPFF LLC have also matured, and the Federal Reserve expects that it will dissolve the LLC following the payment of accrued professional fees and the termination or expiration of existing contractual arrangements. In light of the substantial amount of interest income and fees earned under the CPFF, the Board does not expect the CPFF to result in any net loss to the Federal Reserve or taxpayers after dissolution of the CPFF LLC. Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility Under the TALF, the FRBNY makes loans on a collateralized basis to holders of eligible asset-backed securities (ABS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). The potential for the Federal Reserve or taxpayers to incur any net loss on the TALF loans extended by the FRBNY to the holders of ABS and CMBS is mitigated by the quality of the collateral, the risk assessment performed by the FRBNY on all pledged collateral, and the margin by which the value of the collateral exceeds the amount of the loan (the haircut). Potential losses to the Federal Reserve also are mitigated by the portion of interest on the TALF loans to borrowers transferred to TALF LLC and by $20 billion in credit protection provided by the Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), both of which are available to TALF LLC to purchase any collateral received by the FRBNY from a borrower in lieu of repaying a TALF loan or foreclosed upon due to a default by the borrower. Loans to Maiden Lane LLC, Maiden Lane II LLC, and Maiden Lane III LLC The portfolio holdings of each of Maiden Lane LLC (Maiden Lane), Maiden Lane II LLC (ML-II), and Maiden Lane III LLC (ML-III) are revalued in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as of the end of each quarter to reflect an estimate of the fair value of the assets on the measurement date. The fair value determined through these revaluations may fluctuate over time. In addition, the fair value of the portfolio holdings that is reported on the weekly H.4.1 statistical release reflects any accrued interest earnings, principal repayments, expense pay- May 2010 ments and, to the extent any may have occurred since the most recent measurement date, realized gains or losses. The fair values as of April 28, 2010—as shown in table 1 of this report and reported in the H.4.1 release for that date—are based on quarterly revaluations as of March 31, 2010. Because the collateral assets for the loans to Maiden Lane, ML-II, and ML-III are expected to generate cash proceeds and may be sold over time or held to maturity, the current reported fair values of the net portfolio holdings of Maiden Lane, ML-II, and ML-III do not reflect the amount of aggregate proceeds that the Federal Reserve could receive from the assets of the respective entity over the extended term of the loan to the entity. The extended terms of the loans provide an opportunity to dispose of the assets of each entity in an orderly manner over time and to collect interest on the assets held by the entity prior to their sale, other disposition, or maturity. Each of the loans extended to Maiden Lane, ML-II, and ML-III is current under the terms of the relevant loan agreement. In addition, JPMorgan Chase will absorb the first $1.15 billion of realized losses on the assets of Maiden Lane, should any occur. Similarly, certain U.S. insurance subsidiaries of AIG have a $1 billion subordinated position in ML-II and an AIG affiliate has a $5 billion subordinated position in ML-III, which are available to absorb first any loss that ultimately may be incurred by ML-II or ML-III, respectively. Moreover, under the terms of the agreements, the FRBNY is entitled to any residual cash flow generated by the collateral assets held by Maiden Lane after the loans made by the FRBNY and JPMorgan Chase are repaid, and five-sixths and two-thirds of any residual cash flow generated by the assets held by ML-II and ML-III, respectively, after the senior note of the FRBNY and the subordinate positions of AIG affiliates for these facilities are repaid. 29 Revolving Credit Facility and Preferred Interests Relating to American International Group, Inc. In light of the extremely broad and diverse range of collateral (including AIG’s ownership interest in numerous nonpublic companies) and guarantees securing advances under the Revolving Credit Facility and the term of the credit facility, it is difficult to estimate with precision the aggregate value that ultimately will or may be received in the future from the sale of collateral or the enforcement of guarantees supporting the Revolving Credit Facility or from the sale of assets of the two SPVs, AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC (including any noncash consideration that may be received in connection with the sale of the assets of the AIA or ALICO SPVs), and disclosure of any such estimate could interfere with the goal of maximizing value through the company’s global divestiture program and, consequently, diminish the proceeds available to repay the loan or redeem the preferred interests held by the FRBNY in the AIA and ALICO SPVs. However, based on the substantial assets and operations supporting repayment of the loan or redemption of the preferred interests, the terms of the agreements entered into by AIG for the sale of American International Assurance Company (AIA) and American Life Insurance Company (ALICO), the capital and capital commitments provided to AIG under the TARP, and the most recently completed quarterly review of the security arrangements supporting the Revolving Credit Facility conducted as of March 31, 2010, by the FRBNY supported by analyses performed by its advisors, the Federal Reserve anticipates that the loans provided by the Federal Reserve under the Revolving Credit Facility, including interest and commitment fees under the modified terms of the facility, will be fully repaid and the face value of the preferred interests in the AIA and ALICO SPVs, plus accrued dividends, will be received. Accordingly, the Federal Reserve anticipates that the facility will not result in any net loss to the Federal Reserve or taxpayers. 30 Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Balance Sheet Appendix B Information about Closed and Expired Credit and Liquidity Facilities and Programs Data Download Program provides interactive access to Federal Reserve statistical data in a variety of formats. During the financial crisis that emerged during the summer of 2007, the Federal Reserve took a number of important steps aimed at providing liquidity to important financial markets and institutions to support overall financial stability. Financial stability is a critical prerequisite for achieving sustainable economic growth, and all of the Federal Reserve’s actions were directed toward achieving the Federal Reserve’s statutory monetary policy objectives. Specifically, the Federal Reserve implemented a number of programs designed to support the liquidity of financial institutions and foster improved conditions in financial markets, and also extended credit to certain specific institutions and committed to extend credit to support systemically important financial firms. In light of ongoing improvements in the functioning of financial markets, many of the facilities and programs established to help address the financial crisis have closed or expired. Specifically, on February 1, 2010, the Federal Reserve closed the Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (AMLF), the Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF), the Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF), and the Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF). The temporary liquidity swap arrangements between the Federal Reserve and other central banks also expired on February 1, 2010. In April 2010, the credit extended through the last Term Auction Facility (TAF) auction in March matured, marking the close of the facility. The Federal Reserve re-established temporary liquidity swap arrangements with a group of foreign central banks on May 9 and 10, 2010. Information related to these arrangements can be found in the body of this report. Background information about the TAF, the PDCF, the TSLF, and the AMLF, previously included in the body of this report, as well as information about the support provided to Citigroup and Bank of America, is presented in this appendix. Historical data related to these facilities, previously reported on the H.4.1 statistical release, “Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks,” which includes the weekly publication of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet, is available through the Data Download Program, available at www.federalreserve.gov/datadownload. The Lending Facilities to Support Overall Market Liquidity Term Auction Facility (TAF) On December 12, 2007, the Federal Reserve created the TAF to improve depository institutions’ access to term funding. The TAF provided credit through an auction mechanism to depository institutions in generally sound financial condition. The TAF offered 28-day and, beginning in August 2008, 84-day loans. On September 24, 2009, the Federal Reserve announced that the TAF would be scaled back in response to continued improvements in financial market conditions. The auction amount for the 84-day auctions was reduced in late 2009 and the maturity dates of the 84-day auctions were adjusted over time to align with the maturity dates of the 28-day auctions. Subsequently, the auction amount for the remaining 28-day auctions was tapered, and the final TAF auction was held on March 8, 2010. Credit extended under the March 2010 auction matured on April 8, 2010. All TAF loans were fully collateralized to the satisfaction of the lending Reserve Bank, with an appropriate “haircut” applied to the value of the collateral and were repaid in full, with interest, in accordance with the terms of the facility. Lending to Primary Dealers On March 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve announced the creation of the Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF), an overnight loan facility that provided funding to primary dealers and helped foster improved conditions in financial markets more generally. All credit provided under the PDCF was fully secured by collateral with appropriate haircuts—that is, the value of the collateral exceeded the value of the loan extended. Initially, eligible collateral was restricted to investmentgrade securities. On September 14, 2008, however, the set of eligible collateral was broadened to closely match the types of instruments that can be pledged in the tri-party repurchase agreement systems of the two major clearing banks. On September 21, 2008, and November 23, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board authorized the extension of credit to a set of other securities dealers on terms very similar to the PDCF. There was 31 May 2010 no borrowing at the PDCF after mid-May 2009. The Federal Reserve closed the PDCF on February 1, 2010. All loans extended under this facility were repaid in full, with interest, in accordance with the terms of the facility. Eligible collateral for loans extended through the PDCF included all assets eligible for tri-party repurchase agreement arrangements through the major clearing banks as of September 12, 2008. The amount of PDCF credit extended to any dealer could not exceed the lendable value of eligible collateral that the dealer provided to the FRBNY. The collateral was valued by the clearing banks; values were based on prices reported by a number of private-sector pricing services widely used by market participants. Loans extended under the PDCF were made with recourse beyond the collateral to the primary dealer entity itself. On March 11, 2008, the Federal Reserve announced the creation of the TSLF. Under the TSLF, the FRBNY lent Treasury securities to primary dealers for 28 days against eligible collateral in two types of auctions. For “Schedule 1” auctions, the eligible collateral consisted of Treasury securities, agency securities, and agencyguaranteed mortgage-backed securities (MBS). For “Schedule 2” auctions, the eligible collateral included Schedule 1 collateral plus highly rated private securities. In mid-2008, the Federal Reserve introduced the Term Securities Lending Facility Options Program (TOP), which offered options to primary dealers to draw upon short-term, fixed-rate TSLF loans from the System Open Market Account (SOMA) portfolio in exchange for program-eligible collateral. The TOP was intended to enhance the effectiveness of the TSLF by offering added liquidity over periods of heightened collateral market pressures, such as quarter-end dates. Transactions under the TSLF involved lending securities rather than cash: A dealer borrowed Treasury securities from the Federal Reserve and provided another security as collateral. Eligible collateral was determined by the Federal Reserve. Two schedules of collateral were defined. Schedule 1 collateral consisted of Treasury, agency, and agency-guaranteed MBS. Schedule 2 collateral included investment-grade corporate, municipal, mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities, as well as Schedule 1 collateral. Haircuts on posted collateral were determined by the FRBNY using methods consistent with current market practices. TSLF Schedule 1 and TOP auctions were suspended effective July 2009 in light of considerably lower use of the facility. Furthermore, in September 2009 the Federal Reserve announced its intention to scale back the size of TSLF auctions held between October 2009 and January 2010. The size of TSLF auctions was reduced to $50 billion in October 2009 and $25 billion in November 2009; offering amounts remained at $25 billion in December 2009 and January 2010. Since mid-August 2009, borrowing from the TSLF had remained unchanged at zero. The January 7, 2010, TSLF Schedule 2 auction was the last auction conducted prior to the closure of the TSLF on February 1, 2010. All loans extended under these facilities were repaid in full, with interest, in accordance with the terms of the facility. Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (AMLF) The AMLF was a lending facility that financed the purchase of high-quality asset-backed commercial paper from money market mutual funds (MMMFs) by U.S. depository institutions and bank holding companies. The program was intended to assist money funds that held such paper in meeting the demand for redemptions by investors and to foster liquidity in the asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) market and money markets more generally. The loans extended through the AMLF were non-recourse loans; as a result, the Federal Reserve had rights to only the collateral securing the loan if the borrower elected not to repay. To help ensure that the AMLF was used for its intended purpose of providing a temporary liquidity backstop to MMMFs, the Federal Reserve established a redemption threshold for use of the facility. Under this requirement, a MMMF had to experience material outflows—defined as at least five percent of net assets in a single day or at least 10 percent of net assets within the prior five business days—before the ABCP that it sold was eligible collateral for AMLF loans to depository institutions and bank holding companies. Any eligible ABCP purchased from a MMMF that had experienced redemptions at these thresholds could have been pledged to the AMLF at any time within the five business days following the date that the threshold level of redemptions was reached. The creation of the AMLF, announced on September 19, 2008, relied on authority under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. It was administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, which was authorized to make AMLF loans to eligible borrowers in all 12 Federal Reserve Districts. AMLF Collateral. Collateral eligible for the AMLF was limited to ABCP that: — was purchased by the borrower on or after September 19, 2008, from a registered investment company that held itself out as a MMMF and had experienced recent material outflows; 32 — was purchased by the borrower at the mutual fund’s acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount on the ABCP through the date of its purchase by the borrower; — was not rated lower than A-1, P-1, or F1 at the time it was pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (this would exclude paper that is rated A-1/P-1/F1 but was on watch for downgrade by any major rating agency); — was issued by an entity organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof under a program that was in existence on September 18, 2008; and — had a stated maturity that did not exceed 120 days if the borrower is a bank, or 270 days if the borrower is a non-bank. The qualifying ABCP was transferred to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s restricted account at the Depository Trust Company before an advance, collateralized by that ABCP, was approved. The collateral was valued at the amortized cost (as defined in the Letter of Agreement) of the eligible ABCP pledged to secure an advance. Advances made under the facility were made without recourse, provided the requirements in the Letter of Agreement were met. Since May 8, 2009, there had been no new borrowing through the AMLF, and as of October 13, 2009, all prior outstanding AMLF credit had matured. The AMLF was closed on February 1, 2010. All loans made under the facility were repaid in full, with interest, in accordance with the terms of the facility. Lending in Support of Specific Institutions During the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve committed to provide credit, if necessary, to support Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup) and Bank of America Corporation (Bank of America), two important financial firms, as part of a package of supports for these institutions made available by the Treasury Department, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Federal Reserve. Credit and Liquidity Programs and the Balance Sheet Citigroup On November 23, 2008, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC jointly announced that the U.S. government would provide support to Citigroup in an effort to support financial markets. The terms of the arrangement, under which the government parties had agreed to provide certain loss protections and liquidity supports to Citigroup with respect to a designated pool of $301 billion of assets, are provided on the Federal Reserve Board’s website at www.federalreserve.gov/ monetarypolicy/bst_supportspecific.htm. The FRBNY did not extend credit to Citigroup under this arrangement. On December 23, 2009, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC agreed to terminate the Master Agreement dated January 15, 2009, with Citigroup. In consideration for terminating the Master Agreement, the FRBNY received a $50 million termination fee from Citigroup. Outstanding expenses in connection with the Master Agreement and not yet reimbursed by Citigroup will continue to be reimbursable. Bank of America On January 16, 2009, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC jointly announced that the U.S. government had agreed to provide certain support to Bank of America to promote financial market stability. Information concerning these actions is available on the Federal Reserve Board’s website at www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/ bst_supportspecific.htm. On May 7, 2009, following the release of the results of the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program, Bank of America announced that it did not plan to move forward with a part of the package of supports announced in January 2009—specifically, a residual financing arrangement with the Federal Reserve and the related guarantee protections that would be provided by the Treasury and the FDIC with respect to an identified pool of approximately $118 billion in assets. In September 2009, Bank of America paid an exit fee in order to terminate the term sheet, which was never implemented, with the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC. The Federal Reserve’s portion of the exit fee was $57 million.
