Bank holding company investment in stock of small business

.atIpent companies (Item No. 101. There had been distributed a
memorandum from the Legal Division dated November 27, 1962, submitting
a Proposed interpretation of (1) section 4(c)(4) of the Bank Holding
Company Act, which permits a bank holding company to acquire shares of
Ti°4bank corporations "which are of the kinds and amounts eligible for
i4vestment" by national banks, and (2) section 302(b) of the Small
Ilusiness Investment Act, which permits a national bank to invest "2 per
ent of its capital and surplus" in the stock of small business investment
enmPanies.

12/11/62

In an interpretation published in the Federal Reserve Bulletin
of March 1959, the Board had held that a bank holding company could
lawfully invest in stock of small business investment companies up to
1 per cent of the holding company's capital and surplus, with surplus
to be

determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting and

re porting

procedures applicable to the holding company.

In 1961, however, First Bank Stock Corporation of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, asked the Board's advice as to the amount that it and its
subsidiaries could invest in stock of small business investment corporaIn attempting to answer this inquiry, certain questions arose
that caused a reexamination of the 1959 interpretation.

As a result,

the Legal Division had now concluded that the 1959 interpretation did
11°t fully effectuate the apparent intent of the Congress.

Accordingly,

the Division proposed that the 1959 interpretation be superseded and
that the Board issue a new interpretation which would provide that total
direct and indirect investments of a bank holding company in stock of
small business investment companies might not exceed 2 per cent of the
caPital and surplus of a subsidiary bank if such stock was owned or
trolled by the subsidiary bank, or 2 per cent of the capital and
surPlus of the holding company, if itself a bank, if the stock was owned
°r controlled by such bank.

A holding company that was not a bank would

he allowed to invest up to 2 per cent of its proportionate interest in
1/

The Small Business Investment Act was amended in 1961 to increase
from 1 per cent to 2 per cent the permissible investment by a
national bank in stock of small business investment companies.

the capital and surplus of each subsidiary bank less that bank's direct
investment in stock of small business investment companies.
The Legal Division felt that the proposed interpretation would
avoid the shortcomings of the earlier interpretation and would give
greater effect to the apparent legislative intent of the Bank Holding
Company Act and the Small Business Investment Act.

The proposed

interpretation would permit all banks, even though subsidiaries of bank
holding companies, to invest up to the full amount permitted by the Small
Business Investment Act without creating a situation where a holding
e°14pany could invest a greater amount in small business company stock
than the aggregate of the banks in its system.

A staff review indicated

that no holding company system had invested in the aggregate more than
that

permitted under the proposed interpretation.
After discussion, the Board approved unanimously the issuance

Of

the

proposed interpretation, with the understanding that it would be

Published in the Federal Register and the Federal Reserve Bulletin and
that a copy would be sent to each registered bank holding company. A
Co
PY of the interpretation, as subsequently published, is attached to
these minutes as Item No. 10.

that a bank holding
tation) the Board of Governors expressed the view
investcompany could lawfully invest, in stock of small business
Merit companies, up to 1 per cent of "the holding company's capital
41d surplus". That interpretation was based on two statutory pro'visions:

ny Act (12 U.S.C.
(1) section 4(c)(4) of the Holding Compa

nonbank
1843), which permits a holding company to acquire shares of
for investcorporations "which are of the kinds and amounts eligible
Business
Illentm by national banks, and (2) section 302(b) of the Small
bank to
Investment Act (15 U.S.C. 682), which permitted a national
surplus" in SBIC stock. (In
flVest ul per cent of its capital and
1961, this provision of the SBI Act was amended to increase the per)
Missible investment from 1 per cent to 2 per cent.

Published in 1959 at 25 F.R. 257.

A
.P

-2(b) Further study of the effects of the 1959 interpretation,
as it would apply to actual situations, has disclosed that it produces results inconsistent with basic Congressional purposes embodied
in the Holding Company Act and the SBI Act and therefore requires modification and refinement.
(c) In adopting section 4(c)(4) of the Holding Company Act,
Congress intended, broadly speaking, to permit a holding company to
invest in corporate stock to the same extent as if it were a national
154ak and its subsidiaries were branches. Viewed from another angle, s
the Congressional intent was to allow a holding company system to
invest in corporate stock (whether held by the holding company or by
subsidiaries) to the extent that the banking interests represented
by the holding comPanY would permit such investment if those interests
were embodied in a national bank rather than a bank holding company.
With respect to the SBI Act, section 302(b) thereof clearly was intended to permit every national bank to invest up to a specified
Percentage, now 2 per cent, of its capital and surplus in SBIC stock,
l cgardless of whether or not the bank was a subsidiary in a holding
'
company system.
((I) In some situations the 1959 interpretation would thwart these
C°ngressionai objectives. In the case of a holding company that awned
111°st of the stock of its subsidiary banks and wrote up its asset
4°c.ounts to reflect the full underlying book value of its bank stocks,
the holding company could invest in SBIC stock a substantially larger

4
..31/
-ut than could its subsidiary banks in the aggregate.
This result
11°111d be even more noticeable in the case of a holding company- with
1-113stantiaa. nonbanking interests, permitted by the exceptions proNed
in section 4(c) of the Holding Company Act, since such interests
further increase the "capital and surplus" of the holding company.
It

Unreasonable to assume that Congress intended, by enacting sec-

4prilt(c)(10
/3 to increase the authority of holding companies to purchase
e°rPorate stock because of the magnitude of the holding company's
ing interests.
(e) In other situations, the Congressional purpose reflected by
O

302(b) of the SBI Act would be defeated. Under section 4 of

ell01ding Company Act, SBIC stock owned directly by subsidiary banks
4311Tied indirectly by the holding company.

In the case of a holding

Co

that owns only a slight majority (or a minority) of its banks'
ztock
3 the capital and surplus of the holding company sometimes is
cli
'4,Y amailer than the aggregate capital and surplus of its sub-

Y banks. In such a case, the Board's

1959

interpretation would

example may clarify this statement. If the banks in a holding
Y system were national banks with aggregate capital of ,pl0 million,
Nd-? Of $10 million, and undivided profits of $5 million, those banks

%Trs,' VO In SBIC stock (i.e., 2 per cent of $25 million, the holding
N.-vat-Art
N'oril 41 3 capital and surplus). The difference results, of course,

c°111Pany banks should be able to invest in SBIC stock up to the limit
2/
there prescribed:(f) For these reasons, the

1959

interpretation is superseded.

It is the position of the Board that, under the provisions of sections 4(a)(1) and 4(c)(4) of the Bank Holding Company Act, the total
direct and indirect investments of a bank holding company in stock of
araall business investment companies may not exceed:
(1) with respect to such stock awned or controlled by a
l
subsidiary bank, 2 per cent of that bank's capita
and surplus;
(2) with respect to such stock awned directly by a holding
company that is a bank, 2 per cent of that bank's
capital and surplus; and

bank's capital and surplus) less that bank's invest
in stock of small business investment companies.
presented in footnote 1/, if the holding company
!wiled 60 per cent of its banks' stock, -Tose banks could invest in
tBIC stock only $300,0001 rather than the $400,0°0 permitted by sec.°
,()n 302(b). The holding company's capital and surplus would be l,
million (i.e., 60 per cent of $25 million, the aggregatepercapita
cent of
:IrPlus, and undivided profits of the subsidiary banks), 2
lves
themse

w_nich would be $300,000. Accordingly, the subsidiary
awned
stock

,eculd not invest more than this amount in SBIC stock,
.
and

compan
g
subsidiary banks is indirectly awned by the holdin
therefore the aggregate investment by the subsidiary banks may not
exceed 2 per cent of the holding company's capital and surplus.

4• e
-5-comings of the earlier
(g) This interpretation avoids the short
full
illtex"pretation. It permits every bank to invest up to the
alkma permitted by section 302(0 of the SBI Act, despite the fact
this
that a particular bank may be a subsidiary of a holding company;
same time, in no
8ecc)rds with the intent of section 302(b). At the
'
t a greater amount
Caeewill it permit a holding company system to inves

SBIC stock than could be invested, in the aggregate, by the
