Treasury Receives $45 Billion Payment from Bank of America
12/9/2009

TG-436
Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury received full repayment on its Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) investments in Bank of America in the sum of $45 billion, bringing the
total amount of repaid TARP funds to $118 billion. Treasury now estimates that total bank repayments could reach up to $175 billion by the end of 2010, cutting total taxpayer exposure
to the banks by almost three-quarters from the peak.

Treasury currently estimates that every one of its programs aimed at stabilizing the banking system – the Capital Purchase Program, the
Targeted Investment Program, the Asset Guarantee Program, and the Consumer and Business Lending Initiative -- will earn a profit
thanks to dividends, interest, early repayments, and the sale of warrants. Total bank investments of $245 billion in FY2009 that were
initially projected to cost $76 billion are now projected to bring a profit of $19 billion. Taxpayers have already received about $15 billion in
revenue through interest, dividends, and the sale of warrants, and that profit could be considerably higher as Treasury sells additional
warrants in the weeks ahead.
