Vol. 12 No. 17 Des Moines, Iowa August 15,1983 On Proposed Stock Redemption Rule— Fed is Heeding Sm all Bank View s LTHOUGH no definitive an A swer could yet be made, it ap peared last week that the Federal Reserve Board is willing and anx ious to respond cooperatively to the views of small bankers who made comments by August 8 on the Fed’s proposal of last May that would severely restrict the ability of small bank holding companies to redeem stock. That proposed ruling to update Reg Y was intended by the Fed to give it more opportunity to forestall stock redemptions that it calculates would put undue strain on the cap ital or balance sheet of a holding company. In seeking that goal it feels it needs greater flexibility in controlling stock redemptions in cases where such redemption would financially harm the holding com pany. Presently, the Fed’s only alternative is the formal, cumber some cease and desist order. The severity of the rule change proposed in May has been outlined at numerous state banker conven tions in recent months. Both A B A and IB A A officials have alerted their membership to the restrictive measures included in the rule change. Presently, a holding com pany can buy up to 10 % of its net worth in securities without notify ing the Fed or getting its advance OK. For redemptions of more than 10%, the Fed must be notified at least 45 days prior to the planned date of redemption, under present rule. The proposed rule would limit such redemption to 1 % or $10 mil lion of the firm’s net worth in any one-year period. For holding com panies of under $150 million in size, the rule would require the holding company to have no more than a 30% debt-to-equity ratio. Those proposed changes would make it impossible for the small onebank holding companies to remain viable, according to industry lead ers. James D. Herrington, president of IB A A , told his audience recently at the Iowa Independent Bankers at Lake Okoboji that such a rule would decimate the ability of community banks to remain independent and urged all bankers to express their concerned views with the Fed by the closing date of August 8. The same subject was reviewed from the platform of state bank as sociation by A B A and IB A A offi cials, as well as state association ex ecutives. By Monday, August 8, the Fed had a lot of response, so far as letter writing on rule change pro posals go, but on this vital matter, the total was 600 letters on the revi sions of Reg Y, and at least threefourths of them aimed at the stock redemption limitation. A B A ’s Gerald Lowrie, executive director for government relations, said, “ The disadvantages to smaller bank holding companies from the proposed change in procedures will far outweigh whatever marginal en forcement advantages may accrue through its adoption.” He said A B A understands the Fed’s desire to maintain proper capital in bank holding companies, but the proposed change was too drastic. Mr. Herrington, in his prepared statement, noted there is “ no show ing by the board o f abuses under the current rule which would justify such a dramatic reversal of policy.” Fed sources, of course, would not discuss the matter in detail yet be cause the closing date for comments had just been passed, but enough unfavorable comment had already been received that top officials ap parently will seek ways to accom plish their capital safety margin without devastating the viability of the smaller holding companies’ stock redemption capability. This may take the form of requiring ad vance notice of stock redemption, rather than the present ability to redeem up to 10 % of the stock without notification to the Fed. □ ASK STAN FARMER to make MNB work for you.

CHICAGO: First Chicago Corp. has agreed to purchase American Na tional Bank and Trust Company, Chicago’s fifth largest bank, for $275 million.

The sale re quires approval by shareholders of Walter E. Heller International Corp., the holding company which owns American National. With their approval and that o f the Federal Reserve Board, the sale could be completed by first half 1984, unless other bidding complicates the pic ture. First Chicago’s Chairman Barry L.
