SIGTARP

Office of the Special Inspector General
for the Troubled Asset Relief Program

Advancing Economic Stability Through Transparency, Coordinated Oversight, and Robust Enforcement

Quarterly Report to Congress
October 29, 2013

MISSION
SIGTARP’s mission is to advance economic stability by promoting the
efficiency and effectiveness of TARP management, through transparency,
through coordinated oversight, and through robust enforcement against
those, whether inside or outside of Government, who waste, steal or abuse
TARP funds.

STATUTORY AUTHORITY
SIGTARP was established by Section 121 of the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), as amended by the Special Inspector
General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program Act of 2009 (“SIGTARP Act”).
Under EESA and the SIGTARP Act, the Special Inspector General has the
duty, among other things, to conduct, supervise and coordinate audits and
investigations of any actions taken under the Troubled Asset Relief Program
(“TARP”) or as deemed appropriate by the Special Inspector General. In
carrying out those duties, SIGTARP has the authority set forth in Section 6 of

This report summarizes notable SIGTARP investigations that illustrate how tone at the top can breed a criminally
corrupt culture. SIGTARP’s investigation resulted in convictions against 4 bank officers at TARP-applicant Bank of
the Commonwealth and 6 co-conspirators for crimes to hide past-due loans and the bank’s near-failure condition.
Six have been sentenced to prison including the Vice President (sentenced to 17 years) and President of a subsidiary
(sentenced to 8 years). The CEO and another officer await sentencing. SIGTARP uncovered an alleged 6-year
criminal enterprise at failed Premier Bank that led to an indictment against its Chairman and 3 officers/directors.
More than $6 million in TARP money was lost when Premier failed. SIGTARP found that officers at failed United
Commercial Bank (“UCB”) allegedly engaged in fraudulent accounting tricks to conceal the bank’s condition
resulting in criminal charges against three officers. All of UCB’s $298 million in TARP funds are lost. SIGTARP’s
investigation resulted in prison sentences of 12, 7, and 3 years for three senior officers of failed TARP-applicant
FirstCity Bank for fraudulently tricking the loan committee into approving millions in loans to buyers of the CEO’s
property, and for siphoning millions. SIGTARP’s investigation of failed TARP-applicant Appalachian Community
Bank resulted in a 5-year prison sentence for the Vice President for criminal self-dealing and concealing bad loans.
SIGTARP’s investigation into TARP-applicant First Community Bank led to the CEO being sentenced to 2 years in
prison for criminally covering up bad loans. SIGTARP’s investigation of Mainstreet Bank resulted in a guilty plea by
the CEO for lying to SIGTARP about his use of TARP funds to purchase a vacation condo days after receiving the
funds.
We also examine the Hardest Hit Fund, which has only spent 22% of funds available for homeowners. Despite
SIGTARP’s recommendation, Treasury has never set a goal of how many homeowners it will help with HHF and
instead has allowed the states to decrease significantly the number of homeowners they anticipate helping. I hope
you find this report useful and would be happy to talk to you further about SIGTARP’s important mission.

There must be real consequences for breaking the law, and that is why SIGTARP’s mission is so critical. Today 65
individuals have been sentenced to prison for crimes investigated by SIGTARP and its law enforcement partners,
112 individuals have been convicted and await sentencing, 154 individuals have been criminally charged and face
trial, and 60 have been banned from their industries. Many of these were senior officers at their companies.

Congress authorized the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program
(“SIGTARP”) to investigate, search, seize, and arrest in criminal investigations related to the Troubled Asset Relief
Program (“TARP”). The financial system has stabilized, but the toxic corporate culture that led up to the crisis and
TARP has not sufficiently changed. At the core of the crisis was a pervasive culture at institutions of rampant risktaking and greed combined with significant unchecked power. SIGTARP has uncovered, stopped, and investigated
TARP-related crimes that serve as an important lesson to be learned from the crisis: that toxic corporate cultures
can serve as a breeding ground for criminal activity. SIGTARP will continue to change corrupt culture the way we
do it best, by removing those who corrupt culture, through arrests, convictions, and jail time.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

The financial system has stabilized in part due to five years of the TARP bailout,
but the toxic corporate culture that led up to the financial crisis and TARP has
not sufficiently changed. At the core of the financial crisis was a pervasive culture
at financial institutions throughout the country of rampant risk-taking and greed
combined with significant and unchecked power. SIGTARP has uncovered,
stopped, and investigated crime related to TARP in the banking, housing, and
securities industries. The crimes we have detected serve as an important lesson
to be learned from the financial crisis: that toxic corporate cultures can serve as a
breeding ground for criminal activity.
At SIGTARP, we have arrested and continue to arrest bankers who cultivated
a culture of reckless arrogance, believing they were untouchable even as they
broke the law. Profit chasing and aggressive expansion led to risky gambles on
lower quality loans that violated a bank’s internal policies and industry rules that
CEOs were telling employees to follow while also directing actions which they
knew violated the policies and rules. Culture will always be less about what is said
and more about what behavior is allowed, encouraged, even rewarded. SIGTARP
found that some bankers lied, plain and simple. They crossed a line, the line
between legally disclosing losses when their risky gambling went south, and illegally
hiding bad loans and declining bank health through criminal accounting tricks.
Some had been fraudulently masking the bank’s true condition even before the
financial crisis, but during the crisis, shrinking capital and increasing delinquent
loans left fraudulent bankers with nowhere to hide. They sought TARP bailout
dollars to have taxpayers fill in the holes on their fraud-riddled books. Others began
their criminal accounting tricks to hide that the bank was near failure only after
taxpayers invested TARP funds in what was supposed to be a “healthy” bank, but
was instead one saddled with hidden, delinquent high-risk loans and insufficient
reserves to cover losses. Some bankers cultivated a culture of self dealing,
criminally concealing that the bank was funding their luxury lifestyles, believing
they were entitled to the finest money could buy, even while they curtailed lending
and foreclosed on struggling homeowners.
There must be real consequences for breaking the law, and that is why
SIGTARP’s mission is so critical. Regulators can change the rules of the road, but
some executives will try to shape their cultures around loopholes, workarounds,
or even criminal deception. Today 65 individuals have been sentenced to prison
for their crimes investigated by SIGTARP and its law enforcement partners, 112
individuals have been convicted and await sentencing, 154 individuals have been
criminally charged and face trial on those charges, and 60 individuals have been
banned from their industries.i Many of these defendants were at the highest levels
of banks or companies that applied for or received TARP bailout money. They
were trusted to exercise good judgment and make sound decisions. However, they
abused that trust. Many times they abused that trust for their own personal benefit.
For some, a change in culture only happens when the corrupt person is removed
by a law enforcement agency such as SIGTARP. Sometimes even an arrest by
iC
 riminal charges are not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

SIGTARP and subsequent conviction will not be enough to remove the sense of
entitlement of a corrupt senior officer. For example, in a motion he drafted himself
from prison, where he is serving his 30-year sentence for his $2.9 billion mortgage
fraud scheme that SIGTARP uncovered, former Taylor, Bean and Whitaker
Chairman Lee Farkas asked the court to allow him to keep his 1954 Cadillac,
which was seized as a fruit of his crime, stating that it “is an irreplaceable, unique
asset. Fewer than 700 were ever produced, a handful remain, and virtually none
in the condition of this asset. It is impossible to replace. The proceeds that the
Government may eventually get will never be able to replace this asset.”
SIGTARP’s investigations stand as reminders that toxic corporate cultures can
serve as a breeding ground for crime. Our investigations should serve as warning
bells for companies before their culture develops into crime. The tone comes
from the top. SIGTARP has uncovered CEOs leading and actively engaged in
the fraud, enlisting subordinates to carry out their schemes. These CEOs may
convince themselves that their actions are not criminally motivated, and are only
intended to save the bank in tough economic times. However, we have found in
our investigations that there is a slippery slope where a culture of crime starts to
trickle down and then permeates their institutions. An ineffective or complacent
board of directors failing to oversee management properly can add to the toxicity
in the culture by enabling bank officers to engage in crime unchecked. These
boards are often in complete shock when the bank’s true financial state is revealed,
often when it is too late at the closing of the bank. Sometimes, directors actively
participate in the crime. SIGTARP has identified and stopped crime in institutions
with toxic cultures turned criminal. We will continue to bring justice and
accountability to those who looked to, or involved, TARP in their crimes.

NOTABLE RECENT SIGTARP INVESTIGATIONS
Bank of the Commonwealth
For 30 years the Bank of the Commonwealth operated as a community bank in
Virginia, but that changed in 2006, when the bank began an aggressive expansion
led by CEO and Chairman of the Board Edward Woodard to become a billion
dollar bank in three years. SIGTARP’s investigation with its law enforcement
partners uncovered that senior officers of the bank then began a culture of freeflowing high-risk lending to a few favored borrowers, circumventing internal
policies and industry standards such as reviewing the cash flow of the borrower’s
business or asking for adequate collateral. Bank officials issued $40 million in
loans to two developers, Eric Menden and George Hranowskyj, knowing that
the money was not used for construction, writing the word “fun” on checks, with
bank employees joking that it was the “bank of Eric and George.” Instead of using
these loans for construction or development as stated in the loan applications,
the favored borrowers (like Eric and George) lived the high life, buying expensive
antique and collector cars, homes, vacation homes, and rental properties. Bank

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

officials did not visit the properties to see if any bank-financed construction was
actually completed. If they had, they would have seen empty half-built shells
throughout Virginia.
The bank’s risky lending culture set up a situation where the fate of the
bank was tied to the fate of these few favored borrowers, but the bank had not
adequately reserved to absorb losses on these loans, and then losses soared.
Lawyers for bank officials argued at trial that when the crisis hit, in an effort to save
the bank, bank officials responded by trying to help in “creative” ways to “shore
up difficult borrowers.” The convictions of these bank officials confirmed what
SIGTARP’s investigation revealed—that bank officers were not acting creatively but
rather criminally in conspiracy with the favored borrowers.
Our investigation with our law enforcement partners revealed a culture of
deceit and corruption at the bank as senior officers conjured criminal scheme after
scheme with the favored borrowers to hide from banking regulators who examined
the bank and its application for TARP bailout funds that the favored borrower
loans were past-due and that as a result, the bank was about to fail. We uncovered
bank officers who falsified bank records to make bad loans look good, paying
past-due balances using money designated for other purposes—overdrawn bank
accounts to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, new loans purportedly
for new projects, and construction loans with little to no completed construction.
We investigated how senior bank officials directed the favored borrowers to buy
foreclosed property off the bank’s books in rigged auctions, bidding up the price,
while disguising that the bank funded the purchase (adding more loans that
would ultimately default). One co-conspirator testified at trial that his relationship
with the bank was “you scratch my back, I will scratch yours.” We found that
bank officials removed more than 1,000 bad loans from the past-due report that
was presented to the board each month and back-dated documents. The bank
officials defrauded customers, shareholders, and Federal regulators, and turned to
taxpayers in an attempt to get TARP funds to cover up the massive holes caused by
fraudulent loans.
The culture at the bank also involved personal greed, with bank officers
lining their own pockets on top of their big salaries, company cars, and generous
expense accounts. Senior bank officers approved bank loans to officers and
directors, without board approval or charging customary fees, including loans to
CEO Woodard to purchase two condos that did not require a single payment,
and $2 million in loans to the CEO’s son, Troy Brandon Woodard, who was a vice
president of a bank subsidiary, so that he could try his hand for the first time in
speculating in real estate. Brandon Woodard enjoyed a $100,000 spending spree on
home renovations fraudulently billed to the bank, and when he could not sell his
condo, Menden and Hranowskyj “bought it” using bank funds. Vice President and
Commercial Loan Officer Stephen Fields, who was engaged in much of the fraud
despite being a former federal bank examiner, accepted kickbacks in kitchen and
bathroom renovations from Menden and Hranowskyj.
What started out as an aggressive culture of high-risk loans at Bank of
Commonwealth morphed into a corrupt culture where crime took root and

7

8

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

became rampant, driving the bank into the ground. Four bank officers and six
co-conspirators including the favored borrowers have been convicted of the
crimes investigated by SIGTARP and its law enforcement partners; six have
been sentenced to prison, with CEO Woodard and loan officer Jeremy Churchill
awaiting their sentence and two co-conspirators have been sentenced to probation.
Stephen Fields was sentenced to 17 years in prison followed by 5 years of
supervised release; Brandon Woodard was sentenced to 8 years in prison followed
by 5 years of supervised release. The six convicted co-conspirators including
Menden and Hranowskyj were sentenced to prison for as long as 14 years.

Premier Bank
SIGTARP’s investigation with its law enforcement partners uncovered an alleged
bank fraud conspiracy that led to an indictment on July 30, 2013, by a Cook
County Grand Jury in Illinois against Zulfikar Esmail, the chairman of Premier
Bank in Wilmette, Illinois; his wife Shamim Esmail, who was the executive vice
president and general counsel; Robert McCarty, an attorney and director; and
director William Brannin, for their participation until the bank’s failure in 2012 in
an alleged six year scheme to defraud the bank and hide its poor financial condition
from state regulators.ii The scheme allegedly was ongoing when Premier sought
and received more than $6 million in TARP funds, which was lost when the bank
failed.
The indictment alleges that Zulfikar Esmail headed a criminal enterprise in
which the others participated. All defendants are awaiting trial but should the
allegations be substantiated, the allegations of misuse by Esmail and the other
officers and directors laid out in the indictment depict a culture of corruption and
greed that put personal enrichment over the interests of the financial institution
and the community. Esmail, his wife who served as the general counsel, and the
two bank directors allegedly conspired to hide the true financial condition of the
bank by manipulating past-due loans through various schemes to make them
appear current and using deceptive financial records to obtain TARP funds. The
criminal conduct alleged in the indictment describes numerous acts of fraudulent
conduct including using Premier Bank for personal profit at the expense of the
bank and federal taxpayers. Esmail allegedly solicited bribes, including that
Esmail’s children be given ownership interests, in exchange for lending to several
grocery stores in Illinois. Esmail allegedly falsified contractor invoices to use bank
funds to pay for renovations to Esmail’s home and rental properties including the
construction of an underground tunnel at his home. By late 2008, the charges
allege that the bank was nearing failure and applied for and received the first of two
payments from Treasury in connection with the bank’s application for TARP funds
in order to further the criminal scheme.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

United Commercial Bank
Since the 1970s, United Commercial Bank (“UCB”) was a commercial bank
headquartered in San Francisco, California. Starting around 1998, UCB developed
a plan to grow its assets to more than $10 billion, in part to meet foreign criteria
to purchase a bank in China. UCB began to expand rapidly, nearly doubling its
loan portfolio from $4.4 billion to more than $8 billion between 2004 and 2007.
In 2007, it expanded its business and branches in the United States, Taiwan,
and China. Beginning in 2008, the bank had increasing past-due loans, and in
September 2008, the bank looked to TARP, receiving $298 million in TARP funds.
SIGTARP’s investigation with its law enforcement partners uncovered a culture
of excessive risk and circumvented internal controls. According to allegations in
Federal indictments, beginning in September 2008, UCB executives, along with
others, sought to hide UCB’s losses and deteriorating financial condition from
Treasury, investors, depositors, regulators, and the bank’s independent auditor.iii
SIGTARP’s investigation with its law enforcement partners uncovered that bank
officers allegedly engaged in fraudulent accounting tricks to conceal the true
financial condition of the bank, and to delay and avoid publicly reporting the bank’s
impaired loans and true loan losses. Our investigation detected that bank officers
allegedly concealed that loan collateral and repossessed assets had declined in
value, fraudulently understated the risk of certain loans, and fraudulently delayed
downgrading the risk ratings of certain loans. We uncovered that bank officers
allegedly falsified the bank’s books and records so that they falsely described the
value of the bank’s loan collateral and repossessed assets, and omitted material
information on the likelihood that certain loans would be repaid and that bank
officials caused the bank to issue materially false and misleading public statements
and reports regarding its financial condition. Our investigation revealed that bank
officials allegedly lied to and misled the bank’s outside auditor. In November 2009,
UCB failed—the first TARP bank to fail—resulting in a complete loss of taxpayers’
$298 million TARP investment.
SIGTARP’s investigation resulted in criminal charges against Ebrahim
Shabudin, the bank’s chief credit officer and chief operation officer, Thomas Yu,
a senior vice president and manager of credit risk and portfolio management,
and Lauren Tran, a vice president and the manager of credit policy at the bank.
The SEC filed civil charges against CEO Thomas Wu, Shabudin, Yu, and CFO
Craig On.

FirstCity Bank
Georgia-based FirstCity Bank pursued a rapid growth strategy driven largely by
loans to real estate developers, with the bank’s assets growing nearly 80% between
December 2005 and 2008. SIGTARP’s investigation with its law enforcement
partners revealed that the bank’s culture was one of deception, greed, self-dealing,
and abuse of power. CEO, Chairman, and President Mark Conner and senior
loan officer Clayton Coe tricked FirstCity’s loan committee into approving several

9

10

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

multi-million dollar real estate loans to borrowers who, unbeknownst to the loan
committee, were actually buying property owned by Conner or his co-conspirators.
Conner siphoned off millions of dollars from fraudulent commercial real estate
loans, ultimately driving FirstCity to failure. Despite his fiduciary duties as
president, CEO, and chairman, for years, Conner went to great lengths to lie to
bank regulators, cheat the bank, and steal millions of dollars.
To help fund FirstCity’s aggressive loan growth, Conner engineered loan
participation deals with other banks to make larger loans, drawing other banks into
his bad deals. Conner and his co-conspirators caused at least 10 other federally
insured banks to invest in (participate in) fraudulent loans based on fraudulent
misrepresentations, shifting all or part of the risk of default to the other banks.
Some of these banks later failed.
Conner himself pocketed $7 million. In 2008, when FirstCity was hit by
significant losses due to fraud and poor risk decisions, Conner attempted
unsuccessfully to get a $6 million TARP bailout to cover his tracks. In an effort
to make FirstCity’s financial position look much better than it really was, Conner
and his co-conspirators tried to unload bad loans and foreclosed homes to straw
purchasers, with the bank loaning them the money for the purchases. Even after
the bank’s failure, Conner’s deceit continued. Knowing he was under investigation
by SIGTARP, Conner left the country and filed for personal bankruptcy, testifying
under oath that he was “down to less than nothing.” In truth, Conner controlled
more than $4.5 million in offshore cash and investments that he tried to hide.
As a result of SIGTARP’s investigation, Conner was sentenced to 12 years
in prison for his crimes, followed by 5 years of supervised release; Clayton Coe
was sentenced to 7 years 3 months behind bars followed by 5 years of supervised
release. The bank’s lawyer, Robert Maloney, was sentenced to 3 years 3 months in
prison for bank fraud based on his disguising the transactions and funneling bank
funds to Conner or to keep other bank loans current. All three were banned for
life from working in the banking industry. SIGTARP found a storage unit rented in
Maloney’s name containing artwork and furniture owned by Conner worth more
than $89,000, including 19th Century European oil paintings, bronze sculptures,
antique furniture, and a pair of gilt bronze candelabra worth $8,000. SIGTARP
seized the contents of the storage unit.

Appalachian Community Bank
TARP-applicant Appalachian Community Bank was forced to close its doors on
March 19, 2010, in large part because of high level executives that used the bank
as their own personal piggy bank, committing numerous frauds that contributed
to the bank’s failure. The culture at the bank was one of greedy endeavors by
bank officers to hide bad loans and enrich themselves. Starting in 2006, the bank
aggressively expanded operations and opened new branches increasing total loans
(heavily concentrated in construction and development loans) from $457 million
in 2005 to $812 million in 2008. The FDIC Inspector General found that as the
bank grew larger and more risky, management continued to run it like a smaller,

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

less complex institution. Bank officials had shoddy underwriting, making loans that
violated loan-to-value limits and without current appraisals.
SIGTARP, together with its law enforcement partners, uncovered extensive
criminal fraud by senior bank officials that started in 2007, well before the bank
applied for TARP. In its aggressive expansion, senior bank officials created a culture
of insider self-dealing using their positions in the bank to perpetuate their frauds
and unjustly enrich themselves. SIGTARP uncovered that bank officials caused the
bank to make loans to a straw borrower, disguising from the bank’s loan committee
that the money actually went to the bank officials to purchase land they would
immediately flip at a higher price. Our investigation disclosed that to further this
fraud, bank officials wire-transferred funds to purchase real estate, which caused
a bank account the officials controlled to be overdrawn by millions of dollars, but
the bank officials never recorded it in the bank’s records. Bank officials’ authority to
execute the transfers was never questioned by the board. Additionally, bank officials
used shell corporations to purchase two Florida condominiums financed by the
bank. Approximately two months later, bank officials refinanced their mortgages
and pocketed more than $875,000 that they used for personal purposes.
Subsequently, when the market took a downturn, the bank faced ever increasing
losses that they could not cover. Having already turned a culture of risky lending
to criminal self-dealing, bank officials added to their criminal culture. SIGTARP’s
investigation uncovered that in order to prevent the FDIC from discovering the
growing past due loans on Appalachian’s books, bank officials arranged a number
of sham real estate transactions, with the intent to make it appear as if a coconspirator had purchased 11 properties from the bank’s foreclosure inventory
and was making regular monthly payments on the new mortgages. Bank officials
used shell companies they controlled called GPH Investments (“God Please Help”)
and PHL Investments (“Please Help Lord”) to hide past-due loans and a growing
inventory of foreclosed property by directing the bank to finance sales of the
properties to the GPH Investments and PHL Investments.
Former bank vice president Adam Teague was sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Former vice president William Beamon has been charged with bank fraud in an
alleged scheme to divert funds from the bank related to foreclosed property held by
the bank.iv

First Community Bank
Louisiana-based First Community Bank had a culture that gave carte blanche
authority to its CEO and President Reginald Harper. The bank board trusted
Harper completely and even increased CEO Harper’s authority, on Harper’s
request, to make decisions on new loans of up to half a million dollars. CEO
Harper abused the board’s trust. Harper provided more than $2 million in loans to
subdivision developer Troy Fouquet and made sure that the loans were in different
quantities and in different names using Fouquet-controlled companies, so that
Harper could sign off on the loans himself without board approval. Prior to the
iv Criminal charges are not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

11

financial crisis, Fouquet could not find buyers for homes he built to repay the
loans.
SIGTARP’s investigation revealed that CEO Harper turned a culture of
unchecked CEO power into one of fraud to hide the fact that Fouquet’s loans
were going bad. SIGTARP’s investigation uncovered that Harper devised various
cover-up schemes to hide the bad loans from bank records that he used to apply for
TARP, which would have filled in the hole caused by Fouquet’s bad loans. Treasury
approved the TARP application but it was later withdrawn by the bank’s board who
was unaware of the holes on the book’s records caused by the fraud. We found
that Harper accepted checks from Fouquet that he knew would bounce and held
the checks in limbo in the bank’s “cash items” bucket and falsified bank records to
reflect the payment as having been made. We found that Harper and Fouquet used
straw borrowers to take out new loans from the bank, the proceeds of which were
used to pay Fouquet’s past-due loans. The judge who sentenced Harper to 2 years
in prison followed by 3 years supervised release and sentenced Fouquet to 1½ years
in prison followed by 3 years supervised release told Harper that this was not a onetime lapse in judgment or mistake, but a cover-up for years. At their sentencing,
a director told the court how Harper had violated their trust. The losses from the
fraud contributed to the bank being taken over by another bank.

Mainstreet Bank (Calvert Financial)
The culture at Missouri-based Mainstreet Bank is best evidenced by the bank’s use
of the TARP money that its parent company Calvert Financial Corporation received
and downstreamed to Mainstreet Bank. This was a bank where the tone certainly
came from the top. The top was Darryl Woods, who was the chairman and CFO of
Mainstreet Bank and the chairman, president and majority shareholder of Calvert.
It was Woods who looked to TARP, signing the TARP application and TARP
documents. SIGTARP’s investigation revealed that at the time Woods applied for
TARP he had already been negotiating to buy a Florida waterfront condo. Within
days of receiving the TARP funds, Woods directed the bank to spend more than
a third of the funds to purchase the condo for his and other executives’ vacations.
Our investigation revealed that eight days after the bank used TARP funds to buy
the condo, Woods lied in response to a SIGTARP survey to the bank asking for a
description on how it used TARP funds by omitting that TARP funds were used to
purchase the vacation condo, which had taken place just days before. As a result of
SIGTARP’s investigation with its law enforcement partners, Woods pled guilty to
making the false statement to SIGTARP. He awaits sentencing. In addition, he will
be banned from banking.

COMPANY CHANGE IN CULTURE

Law enforcement is but one effective method to change a corrupt culture at an
institution, but by the time we are investigating, it is often too late to change
culture. To fully address the corporate culture that led to TARP, companies must

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

change from within. They must adopt a culture of vigilance, with strong board
and management oversight—one that curbs risk and greed to the point where
the company can absorb its own losses without coming to taxpayers hat in hand
again. Companies must not only commit to following policies and rules, CEOs
and other senior officials must themselves be the example in following policies
and rules, and must recognize and reward employees that adhere to company
policies and industry rules and demonstrate accountability and integrity. And if
companies are honest with themselves, they may just admit that a good starting
point to change culture is executive pay. Excessive executive pay is far too routine
in spite of corporate scandals and continued losses. One immediate change in
culture that companies can make is to change to risk-based compensation that
discourages reckless risk-taking and ties personal success to the long-term success
of the company. Through changes in compensation and rewarding compliance with
rules and internal policies, the best change in corporate culture that companies can
make post-crisis is to focus on personal accountability. Although our jurisdiction is
narrow, we at SIGTARP will continue to change corrupt culture and bring personal
accountability the way we do it best, by removing those who corrupt culture,
through arrests, convictions, jail time, and industry bans.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

SIGTARP CREATION AND STATUTORY AUTHORITY

The Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief
Program (“SIGTARP”) was created by Section 121 of the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) as amended by the Special Inspector General
for the Troubled Asset Relief Program Act of 2009 (“SIGTARP Act”). Under EESA
and the SIGTARP Act, SIGTARP has the responsibility, among other things, to
conduct, supervise, and coordinate audits and investigations of the purchase,
management, and sale of assets under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”)
or as deemed appropriate by the Special Inspector General. SIGTARP is required
to report quarterly to Congress to describe SIGTARP’s activities and to provide
certain information about TARP over that preceding quarter. EESA gives SIGTARP
the authorities listed in Section 6 of the Inspector General Act of 1978, including
the power to obtain documents and other information from Federal agencies and
to subpoena reports, documents, and other information from persons or entities
outside the Government.
Under the authorizing provisions of EESA, SIGTARP is to carry out its duties
until the Government has sold or transferred all assets and terminated all insurance
contracts acquired under TARP. In other words, SIGTARP will remain “on watch”
as long as TARP assets remain outstanding.

SIGTARP OVERSIGHT ACTIVITIES

SIGTARP continues to fulfill its oversight role on multiple parallel tracks:
investigating allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse related to TARP; conducting
oversight over various aspects of TARP and TARP-related programs and activities
through 22 published audits and evaluations, and 128 recommendations as of
September 30, 2013, and promoting transparency in TARP and the Government’s
response to the financial crisis as it relates to TARP.

SIGTARP Investigations Activity
SIGTARP is a white-collar law enforcement agency. As of September 30, 2013,
SIGTARP had more than 150 ongoing criminal and civil investigations, many in
partnership with other agencies in order to leverage resources. SIGTARP takes its
law enforcement mandate seriously, working hard to deliver the accountability the
American people demand and deserve. SIGTARP’s investigations have delivered
substantial results, including:
• criminal chargesi against 154 individuals, including 98 senior officers (CEOs,
owners, founders, or senior executives) of their organizations
• criminal convictions of 112 defendants
• prison sentences for 65 defendants (others are awaiting sentencing)
iC
 riminal charges are not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

these amounts is not known, SIGTARP has already assisted in the recovery
of $185.6 million. These orders happen only after conviction and sentencing
or civil resolution and many SIGTARP cases have not yet reached that stage;
accordingly, any recoveries that may come in these cases would serve to increase

Government (including to SIGTARP agents), securities fraud, money laundering,
and bankruptcy fraud, among others.ii
Figure 1.1 represents a breakdown of criminal charges from SIGTARP
investigations resulting in prison sentences. Although the majority of SIGTARP’s
investigative activity remains confidential, over the past quarter there have been
significant public developments in several SIGTARP investigations, described
below.

TARP-Related Investigations Activity Since the July 2013 Quarterly
Report
Two Bank Executives and Virginia Developer Sentenced to Federal Prison for
Roles in Massive Bank Fraud Scheme – Bank of the Commonwealth

In September and October 2013, three of four defendants were sentenced to
Federal prison after a jury convicted all four of fraud charges relating to their roles
in a $41 million bank fraud scheme that masked non-performing assets at Bank
of the Commonwealth (“BOC”) and contributed to the failure of BOC in 2011.
The fourth defendant, Edward J. Woodard, the bank’s former chief executive
officer, president, and chairman of the board, is scheduled to be sentenced on
November 6, 2013. On September 16, 2013, Stephen G. Fields, former executive
vice president and senior commercial loan officer, was sentenced to 204 months
in Federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release. He was also ordered

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

to forfeit $61.6 million and to pay $332 million in restitution, jointly with the
other co-defendants. On September 30, 2013, Troy Brandon Woodard, the son of
Edward J. Woodard and the former vice president and mortgage loan specialist at a
subsidiary of BOC, was sentenced to 96 months in Federal prison followed by five
years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $2.4 million in restitution
and forfeit $4.3 million as part of the joint restitution and forfeiture orders. On
September 18, 2013, Dwight A. Etheridge, a favored BOC borrower who owned
and operated a residential and commercial development company, was sentenced
to 50 months in Federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release.
Etheridge was also ordered to pay $5 million as part of the joint restitution order.
Previously, on July 22, 2013, Thomas E. Arney, who pled guilty in the case, was
sentenced to 27 months in Federal prison, followed by three years of supervised
release. He was also ordered to pay $2 million in restitution as part of the joint
restitution order and to forfeit $7.5 million and a substantial amount of personal
property and real estate.
BOC was a community bank headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, that failed
in September 2011. It was the eighth largest bank failure in the country that year
and the largest bank failure in Virginia since 2008. The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) estimates that BOC’s failure will cost the deposit insurance
fund more than $268 million. In November 2008, BOC sought $28 million in
TARP funds. Subsequently, BOC’s Federal banking regulator asked the bank to
withdraw the TARP application, which BOC did.
From 2005 to 2009, BOC more than doubled its assets, largely through
brokered deposits, a financial tool that allows investors to pool their money and
receive higher rates of returns. Because of the high volatility of these deposits, an
institution must remain well-capitalized to accept and renew brokered deposits.
BOC funded and administered many loans during this period without following
industry standards or the bank’s own internal controls, and by 2008, the volume
of the bank’s troubled loans and foreclosed real estate soared. From 2008 to
2011, BOC executives used various methods to fraudulently mask the bank’s true
financial condition out of fear that the bank’s declining health would negatively
impact investor and customer confidence and affect the bank’s ability to accept and
renew brokered deposits.
To fraudulently hide BOC’s troubled assets, the bank insiders overdrew demand
deposit accounts to make loan payments, extended new loans or additional
principal on existing loans to cover payment shortfalls, changed the terms of loan
agreements to make loans appear current, and used funds from related entities
(sometimes without authorization from the borrower) to make loan payments.
In addition, the BOC executives hid millions of dollars of non-performing loans
from the bank’s board of directors. The BOC executives also provided preferential
treatment to troubled borrowers, including Etheridge and others, to purchase
defaulted property. The borrowers were already having difficulty making payments
on their existing loans and the financing allowed the borrowers to convert these
non-earning assets into earning assets. In some instances, these new loans
exceeded the purchase price of the property, which resulted in the borrowers

19

20

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

obtaining cash at closing that they used to make payments on their other loans
at the bank and for their own personal purposes. In addition, BOC executives
caused the bank to fund loans to troubled borrowers to purchase or attempt to
purchase properties owned by Edward Woodard and Troy Brandon Woodard. BOC
subsequently charged off $9 million of these loans as a loss. In addition, Edward
Woodard and Troy Brandon Woodard caused BOC to pay fraudulent invoices
for construction costs for a bank branch when the true costs were incurred for
renovations to Troy Brandon Woodard’s personal residence.
Also convicted in the case was Jeremy C. Churchill, a BOC vice president
and commercial loan officer, who pled guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
Churchill admitted that he submitted loan requests to BOC to provide more than
$1 million to companies owned by Etheridge. BOC subsequently fully charged
off these $1 million in loans as a loss. Churchill also admitted to requesting that
BOC provide a $4.1 million loan to Etheridge’s company to be used to purchase
an incomplete condominium project in Virginia Beach from the owners who were
delinquent on their loan at the bank. Churchill admitted that he and Fields used
approximately half the loan proceeds to pay down the underlying loan on the
property. Churchill faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison when he is
sentenced on November 1, 2013. Also, in July 2013, Recardo S. Lewis, a former
vice president of Etheridge’s construction company, was sentenced to six months
home detention and five years of probation for his role in the fraud scheme. Lewis
was also ordered to pay $855,962 in restitution as well as $2 million in forfeiture,
as part of the restitution and forfeiture orders issued. Lewis previously pled guilty
to conspiracy to defraud BOC by submitting fraudulent draws on the incomplete
condominium project in Virginia Beach.
Also, in September 2012 and October 2012, business partners Eric H.Menden
and George P. Hranowskyj, respectively, were sentenced to prison for their roles
in the bank fraud scheme. Menden was sentenced to 11.5 years in Federal prison
followed by three years of supervised release. Hranowskyj was sentenced to 14
years in Federal prison followed by three years of supervised release. Menden and
Hranowskyj were ordered to pay $32.8 million in restitution and to forfeit $43.5
million as part of the joint restitution and forfeiture orders. On January 25, 2012,
Natallia Green, a former employee of Menden and Hranowskyj, was sentenced to
five years’ probation and was ordered to pay $106,519 in restitution after pleading
guilty to making a false statement to BOC in a loan application. On August 10,
2011, Maria Pukhova, another former employee of Menden and Hranowskyj, was
charged with making a false statement on a loan application to BOC in April 2010.
Pukhova’s case is pending.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Eastern District of Virginia, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), Internal
Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (“IRS-CI”), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of
Inspector General (“FDIC OIG”) and the Office of the Inspector General-Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB OIG”).

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Chairman and Senior Executives of TARP Recipient Bank Charged in Criminal
Fraud Scheme – Premier Bank

On August 6, 2013, four former members of the board of directors and senior
executives of TARP recipient Premier Bank (“Premier”) in Wilmette, Illinois, were
charged in Cook County, Illinois, with operating an alleged long-running criminal
scheme that caused the failure of the bank. Premier failed on March 23, 2012. As a
result of the scheme, the charges also allege that Treasury was defrauded of nearly
$6.8 million in TARP funds. All four defendants were arrested on July 10, 2013, by
SIGTARP agents and its law enforcement partners.
Zulfikar Esmail, former chairman of the board of directors; his wife, Shamim
Esmail, former executive vice president and general counsel; Robert McCarty, an
attorney and former member of the board; and William Brannin, former member
of the board, were all charged for their alleged roles in the scheme. All four
defendants are charged with financial institution fraud, continuing a financial
crimes enterprise, conspiracy to commit a financial crime and theft by deception.
In addition to those crimes, Zulfikar Esmail is also charged with organizer of a
financial crimes enterprise and commercial bribery of a financial institution.
According to the indictment, the defendants allegedly hid the bank’s rapidly
declining financial condition from regulators beginning in 2006 until its failure in
2012 by repeatedly submitting allegedly materially false financial reports. By late
2008, the charges allege that the bank was nearing failure and applied for and
received the first of two payments from Treasury in connection with the bank’s
application for TARP funds in order to further the criminal scheme. To cover up
the true condition of the bank, purportedly money from third parties was used to
make payments on several loans that were past due, including payments from a
limited liability corporation owned in part by the Esmails’ children. It is also alleged
that Zulfikar Esmail solicited and demanded bribes from local businesspeople
and demanded ownership stakes for his children in customers’ businesses in
exchange for loans and lines of credit. It is also alleged that Zulfikar Esmail ordered
construction and improvement work done on his home and rental properties that
he owned and that the contractor prepare invoices that fraudulently showed the
work was done at the bank in order to bill the bank for the work. The estimated
cost to the FDIC as a result of the bank’s failure is $64.1 million.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the Office of the Attorney General
for the State of Illinois, and the FDIC OIG.
TARP Recipient Bank of America Liable for Defrauding the United States – Bank
of America, Countrywide, and Rebecca Mairone

On October 23, 2013, after a four-week trial and one day of deliberation, a Federal
jury in Manhattan found Bank of America Corporation and its predecessors,
Countrywide Financial Corporation and Countrywide Home Loans, Inc.
(collectively, “Bank of America”) liable for defrauding the United States, namely
the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), by selling thousands of defective
loans to them.

21

22

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

The jury also found Rebecca Mairone, a former senior executive from
Countrywide, liable for defrauding the United States in connection with her role in
the fraudulent scheme. Civil penalty amounts will be determined by the court at a
later date.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government sponsored entities (“GSEs”)
that were chartered by Congress to provide liquidity and stability to the U.S.
housing and mortgage markets. To fulfill their mission, the GSEs purchase singlefamily residential mortgages from lenders and pool them into mortgage-backed
securities (which they subsequently sell to investors) or hold the mortgages in their
investment portfolios. To ensure that they purchase investment quality mortgages,
the GSEs rely on representations and warranties by the lenders that the loans sold
to the GSEs comply with certain underwriting standards.
In a civil fraud lawsuit filed by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of
New York against Bank of America and Mairone, the complaint alleged that the
defendants caused U.S. taxpayers losses through the sale of toxic mortgage loans to
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The complaint sought civil penalties and damages of
more than $1 billion.
For many years Countrywide, on its own and as part of Bank of America,
was the largest provider of residential mortgage loans to the GSEs. In 2007,
Countrywide allegedly created a new loan origination program called the “High
Speed Swim Lane” or “Hustle” to increase the speed at which it originated and sold
loans to the GSEs. Around this same time, mortgage default rates were increasing
throughout the country and, in response, the GSEs began to tighten their loan
purchasing requirements to reduce risk. Under the Hustle, Countrywide executives
eliminated certain internal quality control processes and fraud prevention measures
that had been in place to ensure that its loans were sound. Countrywide executives
ignored repeated warnings that the quality of loans originated under the Hustle
would suffer. As a result of the Hustle program, Bank of America funneled loans
to the GSEs while misrepresenting to the GSEs that the loans were investmentquality loans that complied with GSE underwriting requirements. After the Hustle
loans defaulted, Bank of America refused to repurchase Hustle loans or reimburse
the GSEs for losses incurred on those loans, even where the GSEs identified loans
containing material defects or fraudulent misrepresentations.
Bank of America received a total of $45 billion, in three infusions, in TARP
funds in 2008 and 2009. Bank of America repaid the $45 billion TARP investment
in full on December 9, 2009.
The case was investigated by SIGTARP, the Commercial Litigation Branch of
the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Division, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Southern District of New York, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency Office of
Inspector General.
Bank Chairman Admits TARP Funds Used to Purchase Luxury Vacation Property
– Darryl Layne Woods

On August 26, 2013, Darryl Layne Woods, the former chairman, president,
and majority shareholder of Calvert Financial Corporation (“Calvert”), the bank

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

holding company for Mainstreet Bank (“Mainstreet”), pled guilty in Federal court
in Jefferson City, Missouri, to misleading Federal investigators about his use of
TARP funds. Woods also served as the chairman and chief financial officer of
Mainstreet. As part of his plea agreement, Woods also agreed to a ban from any
future involvement in any banking activities, including but not limited to serving
as an officer, director, employee, or affiliated party of any financial institution or
agency. At sentencing, Woods faces up to one year in Federal prison, a fine of up to
$100,000, and restitution.
In January 2009, Calvert received $1,037,000 through the TARP Capital
Purchase Program. Woods admitted that on February 2, 2009, he used $381,487
of the TARP funds received by Calvert to purchase a luxury seaside condominium
in Ft. Myers, Florida. In February 2009, as part of its oversight function, SIGTARP
sent letters to various financial institutions seeking specific information as to
how TARP funds were used by each institution. As president of Calvert, Woods
responded to SIGTARP’s Use of Funds Survey in a letter dated February 10,
2009, and did not disclose the purchase of the condominium. As part of his plea
agreement, Woods admitted that, in his letter to SIGTARP, he failed to disclose
that a significant portion of the TARP funds had been used to purchase a luxury
property, a material misrepresentation relating to the true use of the TARP funds.
Figure 1.2 shows the building in which Woods purchased the condominium.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Western District of Missouri, the FBI, and FRB OIG.
Former Bank Senior Officer and TARP Bank Settle with the SEC Over Fraud
Action – Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin

On August 14, 2013, Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin, Inc. (“Anchor”), and its former
chief financial officer, Dale C. Ringgenberg, agreed to a settlement with the SEC
on charges that Anchor and Ringgenberg intentionally or recklessly made material
misstatements in Anchor’s quarterly report for the period ending on June 30, 2009,
which was required to be filed with the SEC. Anchor received $110 million in
TARP funds in October 2008.
The SEC’s complaint filed in Federal court in the District of Columbia alleged
that Ringgenberg took, or failed to take, actions to keep from having to correct
earnings that Anchor had already released to its shareholders. Ringgenberg
manipulated an estimate to offset an accounting adjustment required by Anchor’s
external auditors. He also refused or failed to properly account for real estate
appraisals and related information that was available after the quarter closed but
before Anchor filed its quarterly report. As part of the settlement, Ringgenberg is
barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company for five years and
will pay a civil penalty of $75,000. The settlement is subject to the approval of the
court.
Treasury has realized a loss of $104 million of its $110 million TARP principal
investment in Anchor and has recouped the remaining $6 million pursuant to a
“pre-packaged” Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization that Anchor entered on
August 13, 2013, and completed on September 27, 2013.

California Attorney Sentenced to Seven Years in Federal Prison for Obstructing
Investigation into $22 Million Ponzi Scheme – David Tamman

On September 23, 2013, David Tamman, a lawyer who was a partner at the Nixon
Peabody law firm, was sentenced to seven years in Federal prison followed by three
years of supervised release and was ordered to pay a $2,500 fine for his role in
obstructing two separate investigations into a fraudulent $22 million Ponzi scheme.
Tamman was also suspended from practicing law by the state bar of California and
has been banned from appearing before the SEC.
On November 13, 2012, after a two-week criminal trial in Federal court in Los
Angeles, California, Tamman was convicted of 10 counts relating to his role in the
Ponzi scheme perpetrated by his client, New Point Financial Services, Inc., (“New
Point”) and its owner, John Farahi. Tamman was convicted of conspiring with
Farahi to obstruct the SEC’s investigation into Farahi’s illegal Ponzi scheme by (i)
altering, creating, and backdating documents to make it falsely appear to the SEC
that Farahi and New Point had made all the necessary disclosures to investors and
that Farahi had properly transferred investor funds to his personal accounts and
(ii) aiding and abetting Farahi in providing misleading and evasive testimony under
oath to the SEC. Tamman also was convicted of being an accessory after the fact
to Farahi’s mail and securities fraud crimes. At Tamman’s sentencing hearing, the
court found that Tamman additionally altered documents that caused the National
Association of Securities Dealers (now known as FINRA) to close an investigation,
lied to federal investigators, gave false testimony at trial, and lied to a probation
officer who was preparing a pre-sentence report after he was found guilty.
As previously reported, Farahi, a former investment fund manager and radio
personality, was sentenced on March 18, 2013, to 120 months in Federal prison
followed by three years of supervised release for his role in the $20 million
fraudulent Ponzi scheme that he perpetrated through his investment firm New
Point. Farahi was also ordered to pay more than $22 million in restitution to
victims. Farahi previously pled guilty on June 4, 2012, to running the Ponzi
scheme through New Point from 2005 through 2009. Farahi admitted to bilking
investors by falsely promising to purchase corporate bonds backed by TARP. Farahi
also admitted that he used investor money to support his lavish lifestyle, to make
payments to previous New Point investors in order to continue the Ponzi scheme,
and to finance and cover trading losses on speculative options trades. Facing
massive trading losses at the end of 2008, Farahi borrowed millions of dollars from
TARP recipients Bank of America and U.S. Bank (and other banks) by providing
false financial information to these banks.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Central District of California, and the FBI.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Over $17 Million Seized From Estate of Former CEO of TARP Bank – One Bank &
Trust

On July 12, 2013, $17.9 million in life insurance benefits, several bank accounts,
and five vehicles were seized in connection with a SIGTARP civil forfeiture
investigation of Layton Stuart, the former CEO of One Bank & Trust of Little
Rock, Arkansas (“One Bank”). Layton Stuart was the former owner of One
Financial Corporation (“One Financial”), the holding company for One Bank. In
October 2008, One Financial applied for $10 million in TARP funds. The request
was later amended and increased to $17.3 million. In June 2009, One Financial
received the requested $17.3 million in TARP funds. In September 2012, Stuart
was officially terminated from functioning in any capacity at One Bank by its board
of directors as a result of an order by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(“OCC”). Layton Stuart passed away on March 26, 2013.
The civil forfeiture complaint filed in Federal court in Little Rock, Arkansas,
seeks the forfeiture of the proceeds of financial transactions in connection with
a bank fraud and money laundering scheme allegedly committed by Stuart and
others. The alleged scheme began in 2008 and ran until 2012 when Stuart
was terminated as chief executive officer of One Bank. The complaint alleges
that Stuart diverted almost $2 million of the TARP money for his personal
use. Specifically, more than $1 million in TARP funds went to pay Federal and
state taxes owed by Stuart. Stuart allegedly ensured the transactions would go
undetected by disguising the payments as associated with a bank account known as
the “Interdepartmental Account.” The remaining money was diverted into another
bank account allegedly controlled by Stuart. The complaint was filed against the
property, alleging that the assets were traceable as proceeds from the bank fraud
and money laundering scheme.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, the FBI, IRS-CI, and OCC.
Car Dealership Owner Pleads Guilty to Defrauding Bank – Tariq Khan

On September 3, 2013, Tariq Khan pled guilty to bank fraud in Federal court in
Chicago, Illinois, for defrauding Old Second National Bank (“Old Second”). Old
Second Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Old Second, received $73 million in
TARP funds in January 2009.
Khan, the owner of Urban Motors Corporation (“Urban Motors”), a car and
motorcycle dealership, secured a line of credit through Old Second. The proceeds
of the line of credit were to be used to purchase used vehicles for resale. The
proceeds from the sale of each vehicle were then to be applied against the loan
balance. Additionally, Urban Motors was to provide the bank with the titles of the
vehicles it acquired for resale. Urban Motors agreed to update this information
as necessary and provide the bank with certain financial reports that would be
accurate. Old Second relied on these reports when making decisions regarding the
line of credit.
Khan admitted that from December 2008 through November 2009, he failed to
notify Old Second that Urban Motors sold specific vehicles, failed to pay the loan

25

26

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

amounts corresponding to those vehicles, and caused reports to be prepared that
contained misrepresentations about the status of those vehicles. Khan also failed to
provide Old Second with the titles of certain vehicles so that Urban Motors could
sell those vehicles without notifying the bank of the sales. These actions allowed
Urban Motors to avoid paying off the principal balance of the specific vehicle sold
as well as to keep the proceeds from the sales. As a result of the scheme, Khan
obtained $357,268 without applying those funds against the amount owed on the
line of credit. Khan also admitted that he made misrepresentations to bank auditors
about the status of particular vehicles so that the bank would continue to permit
Urban Motors to access its line of credit.
At sentencing on December 20, 2013, Khan faces up to 30 years in Federal
prison, a fine of up to $1 million, and restitution. As a result of his plea, Khan is
prohibited from participating in the affairs of any financial institution insured by
the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund or the FDIC for 10 years.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Northern District of Illinois, and the FBI.
Missouri Businessman Sentenced to Federal Prison for Role in $2.8 Million Bank
Fraud Scheme Against Two TARP Banks – Clint E. Dukes

On August 29, 2013, Clint E. Dukes was sentenced in Federal court in Kansas
City, Missouri, for his role in a bank fraud scheme that caused three banks,
including two TARP-recipient banks, to lose more than $2 million. Clint Dukes
was sentenced to 24 months in Federal prison followed by five years of supervised
release, and ordered to pay $2.1 million in restitution to the victim banks U.S.
Bank, Equity Bank (formerly First Community Bank), and First Central Bank. U.S.
Bancorp of Minneapolis, the parent company of U.S. Bank, received $6.6 million
in TARP funds and has since repaid the funds. First Community Bancshares, Inc.,
the parent company of First Community Bank, received $14.8 million in TARP
funds that remains outstanding. Brandi Dukes, the former wife of Clint Dukes,
was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay $14,181 in restitution
jointly with Clint Dukes to Equity Bank.
As previously reported, in November and December 2012, Clint Dukes and
Brandi Dukes, respectively, pled guilty for their roles in the bank fraud scheme.
Clint Dukes was convicted of bank fraud and Brandi Dukes was convicted of
misprision of felony. Clint Dukes, owner of Dukes Auto Repair, admitted to
creating false invoices and contracts from the state of Missouri in order to obtain
approximately $3 million in loans from U.S. Bank, First Community Bank, and
First Central Bank from 2004 to 2011. Brandi Dukes worked as the bookkeeper
for his auto repair shop. Brandi Dukes admitted to concealing her then-husband’s
fraud by submitting a fraudulent disbursement request and authorization to First
Community Bank. Through his fraudulent scheme, Clint Dukes caused losses
totaling more than $2 million at U.S. Bank, First Community Bank, and First
Central Bank.

This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Western District of Missouri, the FBI, and the Higginsville, Missouri, Police
Department.
Perpetrator of Mortgage Lending Scheme Pleads Guilty to $5.3 Million Fraud –
Steven Pitchersky

On September 23, 2013, Steven Pitchersky pled guilty in Federal court in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to wire fraud for his role in a fraudulent mortgage
lending scheme that caused TARP recipient Ally Bank, previously known as GMAC
Bank, to lose approximately $5.3 million. At sentencing on December 19, 2013,
Pitchersky faces up to 20 years in Federal prison and a $250,000 fine. Pitchersky
also agreed to pay $3.6 million in restitution.
Pitchersky, who operated Nationwide Mortgage Concepts (“NMC”) admitted
to running a fraudulent mortgage lending scheme through NMC. NMC was
a mortgage lender licensed in more than 40 states to originate and refinance
mortgages. NMC participated in several Federal housing programs sponsored by
the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and Federal Housing
Administration (“FHA”), and was authorized to originate VA and FHA mortgages.
In November 2009, Pitchersky obtained a $10 million line of credit from Ally. From
August 2009 through January 2011, NMC used Ally’s line of credit to refinance
mortgages, including mortgages held by TARP recipient banks Bank of America
and Wells Fargo. As part of the agreement to provide the line of credit, Ally retained
a security interest in the mortgage loans until the loans were repaid. In most cases,
Ally also purchased the NMC refinanced mortgages. In his application for the
line of credit from Ally, Pitchersky falsely stated that he already had a $10 million
line of credit with an independent company called MPL; however, MPL was run
by Pitchersky. Ally approved the $10 million line of credit to Pitchersky. Also, Ally
funds provided to NMC were required to go through a third-party settlement agent
that would then disburse the funds for each NMC loan financed by Ally. As part
of the fraud scheme, Pitchersky used a company that he created called Hanover
Settlement, Inc. (“Hanover”) to be the settlement agent in Ally transactions.
Pitchersky admitted that he repeatedly concealed from Ally his affiliation and
ownership of Hanover. Pitchersky also admitted that, from December 2010 to
January 2011, he instructed Hanover to forward to NMC at least $5.3 million it
received from Ally and instead used those funds for other purposes.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the FBI, and the Department of Veterans Affairs
Office of Inspector General.
Former 12-Year Federal Fugitive Sentenced to Federal Prison in Massive
Nationwide Foreclosure Scam – Glen Alan Ward

On August 5, 2013, Glen Alan Ward, a former Los Angeles resident who fled
to Canada and was a Federal fugitive for 12 years, was sentenced to 11 years in
Federal prison followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay

27

28

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

approximately $60,000 in restitution for his prominent role in a nearly 15-year
foreclosure fraud scheme in California.
As previously reported, Ward pled guilty to bankruptcy fraud and aggravated
identity theft on April 8, 2013. Ward solicited and recruited homeowners whose
properties were in danger of imminent foreclosure, including foreclosures by TARP
banks, promising to delay the foreclosures for a $700 fee. Ward’s actions victimized
more than 800 struggling homeowners, stole the identities of unsuspecting victims
involved in bankruptcy proceedings, and exploited bankruptcy laws to defraud
lenders, which included numerous TARP banks, including Bank of America and
U.S. Bank.
In order to impede these foreclosure sales, Ward stole identities of unsuspecting
debtors who recently filed bankruptcy. He then directed his paying clients to grant
an interest in their distressed home to one of those debtors, and subsequently
directed the homeowner’s lender to stop the impending foreclosure sale due
to the bankruptcy. The fraudulent scheme perpetrated by Ward and his coconspirators delayed the foreclosure sales of hundreds of distressed properties
by using bankruptcies filed in 26 judicial districts. As part of the scheme, Ward
admitted collecting more than $1.2 million from his clients who paid for his illegal
foreclosure-delay service, all of which he agreed to forfeit.
Ward also admitted that he worked with Frederic Alan Gladle to perpetrate the
foreclosure-rescue fraud. As previously reported, Gladle was charged with and pled
guilty to the fraud scheme. On May 3, 2012, Gladle was sentenced to 61 months
in Federal prison and ordered to pay $214,259 in restitution and to forfeit $87,901.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Central District of California, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District
of California, the FBI, and the U.S. Trustee’s Office.
Three Charged in Foreclosure Rescue Scam – KATN Trust

On September 11, 2013, a superseding indictment was returned against Alan
David Tikal, his wife Tamara Teresa Tikal, and Ray Jan Kornfeld for their roles in
a fraudulent mortgage rescue operation. Tamara Tikal and Kornfeld were arrested
by SIGTARP agents and its law enforcement partners on September 12, 2013. It
is alleged that Tamara Tikal and Kornfeld continued the scheme after Alan Tikal’s
initial arrest in September 2012.
According to the superseding indictment, from January 2010 through August
20, 2013, the defendants conspired to deceive distressed homeowners throughout
California and in other states. Alan David Tikal allegedly falsely told distressed
homeowners that he was a “registered private banker” who could reduce their
outstanding home loans by 75% and that he had a tremendous success rate.
Through an entity named KATN Trust (allegedly short for “Kicking Ass, Taking
Names”), distressed homeowners were promised that, for a significant upfront
fee, the homeowners’ existing home loan would be replaced with a new loan
in an amount equal to only 25% of the original loan principal. Homeowners
allegedly were also instructed to send all payments on the new “loan” to Tikal or
to a designated recipient and to ignore any demands for payment by the original

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

lenders. In 2011, Alan Tikal filed bankruptcy and allegedly listed the properties of
many of his client victims as his personal property, and the financial institutions
that extended those mortgage loans as his creditors. The bankruptcy filing initiated
an automatic stay of any pending foreclosure actions, and thus, enabled the
Tikals, Kornfeld, and his co-conspirators to allege that the mortgage relief program
worked, to attract new distressed homeowners and to encourage the distressed
homeowners to continue making payments to KATN. Because of the bankruptcy
filing, and in spite of Alan Tikal’s arrest in September 2012, the indictment alleges
that many homeowners continued to make “loan” payments to KATN. The Tikals,
Kornfeld, and their co-conspirators allegedly never made any payments to financial
institutions on behalf of homeowners in satisfaction of their pre-existing mortgages
and never extended loans to any homeowners. This resulted in many victims
losing their homes to foreclosure. It is alleged that more than 1,000 victimized
homeowners paid in excess of $3.3 million to KATN and these funds were
transferred to accounts controlled by the Tikals.
Alan Tikal is scheduled to go on trial on February 3, 2014. If convicted, he faces
up to 30 years in prison. Trial dates have not yet been scheduled for Tamara Tikal
or Kornfeld.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Eastern District of California, the California Attorney General’s Office, IRS-CI,
the California Department of Justice, and the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s
Office.
Four Sentenced to Prison for Running HAMP Mortgage Modification Scam –
CFSA Home Solutions

On July 29, 2013, Justin D. Koelle, Jacob J. Cunningham, John D. Silva, and
Dominic A. Nolan were sentenced for their roles in operating a mortgage
modification scheme that defrauded hundreds of victims. Koelle was sentenced to
nine months in prison, followed by five years of probation. Cunningham and Silva
were each sentenced to eight months in prison, followed by five years of probation,
and jointly paid $40,000 in restitution. Nolan was sentenced to six months in
prison, followed by five years of probation. Additional restitution for all four
defendants will be determined at a later court hearing. All defendants were also
prohibited from engaging in loan modification or loan consulting practices for the
duration of their sentences.
Koelle, Cunningham, Silva, and Nolan pled guilty in May 2013 to charges that
stemmed from their roles in the fraud scheme. Also, in June 2012, co-defendant
Andrew M. Phalen was sentenced to one year in prison followed by five years of
probation for his role in the fraud scheme. All five defendants were arrested in
March 2012 and charged with multiple felony counts of violating California state
law, including conspiracy to charge illegal upfront fees for mortgage modifications,
conspiracy to commit forgery, grand theft by false pretenses, theft from an elder,
and money laundering.
Between January 2009 and March 2012, the defendants enticed homeowners
to participate in a fraudulent loan modification program by making numerous false

29

30

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

misrepresentations to homeowners through advertisements, websites, promotional
letters, and direct conversations. The misrepresentations included: (i) Treasury’s
HAMP program would apply to homeowners’ circumstances; (ii) the defendants
had a 100% success rate in obtaining mortgage modifications for homeowners; and
(iii) that homeowners would be refunded their paid fees if the defendants could not
modify a homeowner’s loan. The defendants never submitted any loan applications
to banks on behalf of any of the homeowners who paid this fee. To evade detection
by law enforcement, the defendants changed the names, phone numbers, and
addresses of the sham companies they operated, including CSFA Home Solutions,
Mortgage Solution Specialists, Inc., CS & Associates, and National Mortgage
Relief Center.
The case was investigated by SIGTARP, Orange County, California, District
Attorney’s Office, U.S. Secret Service, Huntington Beach Police Department,
California Department of Real Estate, Orange County Probation Department,
Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Costa Mesa Police Department, Irvine
Police Department, and Santa Ana Police Department.
Perpetrators in Nationwide Foreclosure Rescue Scam Sentenced to Federal
Prison – Home Advocate Trustees

On September 13, 2013, Mark S. Farhood and Jason S. Sant were sentenced to
Federal prison for their roles in operating a nationwide online foreclosure rescue
scam that went by various names, including Home Advocate Trustees (“HAT”) and
Walk Away Today, and used various websites, including walkawaytoday.org and
seefastusa.com, to deceive hundreds of vulnerable, distressed homeowners into
surrendering their properties to the company. Farhood was sentenced to 11 years
in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Sant was sentenced to six
years in prison, followed by two years of supervised release. Farhood and Sant were
both barred from working in the real estate industry as part of their supervised
release. Farhood was ordered to forfeit his interest in real property located in
Costa Rica as well as his interest in several Peruvian businesses. The defendants
were ordered to forfeit approximately $2 million in fraud proceeds as well as their
interests in several bank accounts, silver coins and bars, and other assets.
Farhood and Sant each pled guilty in May 2013 to conspiracy to commit
wire fraud, wire fraud, and bank fraud in Federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.
Farhood and Sant, co-owners and operators of HAT, admitted that they and
their co-conspirators used their website walkawaytoday.org and other websites
to fraudulently represent to hundreds of distressed homeowners that they could
walk away from their homes and their mortgages without negative effect to their
credit by selling their homes to HAT for a nominal fee. Farhood and Sant further
admitted that, in order to obtain possession of the distressed homes, they executed
quitclaim deeds in favor of HAT and sent the distressed homeowners fraudulent
closing documents. The homeowners then stopped paying their mortgages and
left their homes in the mistaken belief that they had sold their homes to HAT.
Once HAT took possession of the homes, Farhood and Sant admitted to leasing
the properties and collecting all rent and security deposit payments for their own

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

personal use. When lenders began foreclosure proceedings on the distressed
properties, Farhood and Sant delayed the foreclosure process by submitting to the
lenders fraudulent HAMP applications. Through these misrepresentations, HAT
fraudulently obtained more than $2.8 million.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Eastern District of Virginia, and the FBI.
California Attorneys Sentenced in Loan Modification Scam – Flahive Law
Corporation

On September 12, 2013, Gregory Flahive was sentenced to one year in county
jail and three years of probation in connection with his conviction on 10 counts
of state grand theft charges. The convictions stem from his participation in a
fraudulent loan modification scheme perpetrated through the law firm he shared
with his former wife, Cynthia Flahive, Flahive Law Corporation (“FLC”). Gregory
Flahive was also suspended from the practice of law for three years by the State Bar
of California in connection with the conviction.
On July 10, 2013, Cynthia Flahive was sentenced to three years’ probation on a
misdemeanor conspiracy conviction for her participation in the fraud scheme. She
also was ordered to perform 240 hours of community service and to pay restitution
of $8,965. As part of her plea agreement, Cynthia Flahive agreed not to engage in,
offer, or advertise any residential loan modification services. Also, Cynthia Flahive
served a 60-day bar suspension while on a two-year bar probation.
As previously reported, on May 16, 2012, Michael Kent Johnson, the former
managing attorney for FLC, entered a plea of no contest to misdemeanor
conspiracy for his participation in the FLC fraud scheme. Johnson is required
to serve three years of probation and 200 hours of community service, to pay
restitution of $10,560, and to not participate in loan modification services.
From January 2009 to December 2010, FLC promoted its loan modification
services to homeowners through advertisements, including a television infomercial.
FLC falsely represented that experienced lawyers would negotiate with banks
on behalf of homeowners seeking modifications, including under HAMP,
misrepresented that FLC’s law firm status would give them extra leverage when
negotiating with such banks, and overstated FLC’s rate of success in obtaining
loan modifications on behalf of homeowners. FLC allegedly collected up-front fees
of up to $2,500 from homeowners for loan modification services that were never
performed.
The case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the California Attorney General,
Folsom Police Department, Rancho Cordova Police Department, and El Dorado
Sheriff’s Department.
California Man Pleads Guilty in Foreclosure-Rescue Scam – Walter Bruce Harrell

On August 2, 2013, Walter Bruce Harrell pled guilty in Federal court in San
Francisco, California, to bankruptcy fraud and making false statements in
bankruptcy proceedings. At sentencing on November 13, 2013, Harrell faces up to
five years in Federal prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and restitution.

31

32

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Harrell admitted that from March 2011 through January 2013, he perpetrated
a scheme to prevent lenders, including TARP-recipient banks, from lawfully
foreclosing on properties. Harrell admitted to soliciting homeowners whose
properties were facing foreclosure and promising to postpone the foreclosure in
exchange for a monthly fee. After the fees were paid, Harrell admitted that he
directly or indirectly had the property owners transfer a fractional interest in their
distressed property to individuals paid by Harrell to voluntarily file for bankruptcy.
As required by law, these bankruptcy filings automatically halted the foreclosure
sales until the lenders sought relief from the stay or until the bankruptcy case was
dismissed. In circumstances where the bankruptcy court allowed a foreclosure to
proceed, Harrell admitted that he paid an individual to file bankruptcy petitions in
which he could execute the scheme to defraud creditors who were attempting to
lawfully foreclose on numerous properties. In doing so, he delayed and obstructed
foreclosure sales by creditors, including TARP banks, through improper use of the
Federal bankruptcy process.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Northern District of California, and the FBI.
Executive at Debt Collection Agency Sentenced for Bribing Bank Official –
Oxford Collection Agency

On September 9, 2013, Patrick Pinto, a former vice president at Oxford Collection
Agency, Inc. (“Oxford”), was sentenced to two years of probation accompanied by
six months of home confinement, and a $10,000 fine for his role in a scheme to
defraud business clients as well as Webster Bank, a TARP recipient bank. Pinto
previously pled guilty in June 2013 in Federal court in Bridgeport, Connecticut, to
conspiracy to commit bank bribery. Patrick Pinto admitted that, from August 2008
through October 2010, he and other Oxford executives engaged in a multi-year
scheme to defraud its lender, TARP recipient Webster Bank, as well as its investors,
clients and commercial debtors from which Oxford collected. As part of the
scheme, Patrick Pinto and other Oxford executives made monthly cash payments to
continue receiving debt collection business from TARP recipient U.S. Bank.
As previously reported, in February 2013, Wilbur Tate III was arrested by
SIGTARP agents and its law enforcement partners and charged with taking
bribes from Oxford executives while he was an assistant vice president at TARPrecipient U.S. Bank. Tate’s case is pending. In January 2013, Richard Pinto, the
now-deceased former chairman of Oxford, was sentenced to 60 months in Federal
prison followed by five years of supervised release and was ordered to pay $12.3
million in restitution. Richard and his son, Peter Pinto, each pled guilty to using
Oxford to perpetrate the multi-million dollar fraud scheme. Peter Pinto served as
Oxford’s chief executive officer. In December 2012, three more former Oxford
senior executives were charged and pled guilty for their roles in the scheme:
Randall Silver, chief financial officer; Charles Harris, executive vice president;
and Carlos Novelli, chief operations officer. At sentencing, Peter Pinto faces a
maximum of 35 years in prison and a fine up to $20 million; Silver faces up to 25

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

years in prison and a $500,000 fine; and Harris and Novelli each face up to five
years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
From January 2007 through March 2011, Oxford had agreements with
business clients to collect debts from debtors, to report such collections to the
clients, and to remit the collected payments back to the clients. The clients would
pay Oxford a portion of the monies collected by Oxford as a fee. As assistant vice
president at U.S. Bank, Tate was responsible for outsourcing debt collection
accounts to collection agencies, including Oxford. Silver, Harris, and Novelli
admitted to conspiring with Richard Pinto and Peter Pinto to execute a fraud
scheme in which they (i) collected funds from debtors on behalf of clients but
did not remit those funds to the clients and (ii) created false documents and used
other deceptive means to cover up their failure to remit collected funds to clients
and their improper use of the funds. Richard Pinto and Peter Pinto also admitted
to causing Oxford to secure a line of credit from TARP recipient Webster Bank
without disclosing to the bank that Oxford was defrauding its clients and had
significant outstanding payroll taxes. Silver also helped Richard Pinto and Peter
Pinto defraud Webster Bank by inducing the bank to increase the line of credit to
$6 million by withholding Oxford’s true financial condition and submitting falsified
financial records to the bank. Richard Pinto, Peter Pinto, and Silver also admitted
to laundering funds from the line of credit by providing those funds to clients
to maintain the clients’ business, which continued the scheme. The fraudulent
scheme led victims to lose more than $12 million.
The case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for
the District of Connecticut, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District
of Georgia, IRS-CI, the FBI, and the Connecticut Securities, Commodities and
Investor Fraud Task Force.

Sentences Resulting from TARP-Related Crimes
Of the 112 defendants convicted as a result of a SIGTARP investigation, 65
defendants have already been sentenced to prison for TARP-related crimes, 12
were sentenced to probation, and the remainder await sentencing.
The consequences for TARP-related crime are severe. The average prison
sentence imposed by courts for TARP-related crime investigated by SIGTARP is
67 months, which is nearly double the national average length of prison sentences
involving white collar fraud of 35 months.iii Thirteen defendants investigated by
SIGTARP were sentenced to 10 years or more in Federal prison, including Lee
Farkas, former chairman of mortgage company Taylor, Bean and Whitaker, who
is serving a 30-year prison sentence. Many of the criminal schemes uncovered by
SIGTARP had been ongoing for years, involve millions of dollars, and complicated
conspiracies with multiple co-conspirators. On average, as a result of SIGTARP
investigations, criminals convicted of crimes related to TARP’s banking programs
have been sentenced to serve 70 months in prison. Criminals convicted for
mortgage modification fraud schemes or other mortgage fraud investigated by

Location of TARP-Related Crimes
SIGTARP has found, investigated, and supported the prosecution of TARP-related
crime throughout the nation. Our investigations have led to criminal charges
by prosecutors against 154 defendants (112 of whom have been convicted as
of September 30, 2013, while others await trial).iv Many of these defendants
committed their alleged crimes against victims in multiple states. These defendants
were charged in courts in 18 states and the District of Columbia. SIGTARP
investigations have identified victims in 44 states and the District of Columbia.

Restitution and Forfeiture from TARP-Related Crimes
As of September 30, 2013, investigations conducted by SIGTARP have resulted
in more than $4.68 billion in court orders for the return of money to victims
or the Government. These orders happen only after conviction and sentencing
or civil resolution and many SIGTARP cases have not yet reached that stage;
therefore, any additional court orders would serve to increase this amount. Orders
of restitution and forfeiture to victims and the Government of numerous assets
as well as seized assets pending final order include more than 65 vehicles, more
than 35 properties (including businesses and waterfront homes), more than 30
bank accounts (including a bank account located in the Cayman Islands), bags of

silver, U.S. currency, antique and collector coins (including gold, silver, and copper
coins), artwork, and antique furniture, Civil War memorabilia, NetSpend Visa and
CashPass MasterCard debit cards, Western Union money orders with the “Pay To”
line blank, and the entry of money judgments by courts against more than
20 defendants.
Of the more than 65 vehicles ordered to be forfeited (including automobiles, a
tractor, water craft, recreational and commercial vehicles) several are antique and
expensive cars, including a 1969 Shelby Mustang, a 1932 Ford Model A, a 1954
Cadillac Eldorado convertible, a 1963 Rolls Royce, and a 1965 Shelby Cobra.

TARP-Related Prohibitions from Working in Banking and Financial
Services, as a Government Contractor, or as a Licensed Attorney
SIGTARP investigations not only have led to lengthy prison terms, restitution
and forfeiture orders and civil judgments for TARP-related offenses, but also
have resulted in senior executives being suspended or permanently banned from
working in banking and financial services, as a Government contractor, or as
a licensed attorney. As of September 30, 2013, SIGTARP investigations have
resulted in orders temporarily suspending or permanently banning 60 individuals
from working in the banking or financial industry, working as a contractor with
the Federal Government, or working as a licensed attorney. Many of these people
were at the highest levels of companies that applied for or received a TARP bailout.
They were trusted to exercise good judgment and make sound decisions. However,
they abused that trust, many times for personal benefit. The suspensions and bans
remove these senior executives from the banking and financial industries in which
many practiced for years. A violation of the removal, in some instances, could
be a basis for further prosecution. These high-level executives, some of whom
were chief executive officers, chief financial officers, or licensed attorneys, have
been sanctioned in a variety of ways, many by more than one authority: (i) by a
sentencing court as part of the terms of supervised release after a prison term has
been served; (ii) by the executive branch of the Federal government as a bar from
engaging in a Government contract; (iii) by a Federal banking regulator, which has
the authority to ban an individual from working in the banking industry; (iv) by the
Securities and Exchange Commission(“SEC”), which has the authority to issue
certain bans relating to working in the securities industry; (v) by a Federal court
in enforcing a Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) request to order a ban against
advertising, marketing, promoting, or selling mortgage assistance or mortgage relief;
and (vi) by a state bar association, which has the authority to suspend or disbar a
licensed attorney.
Of the 60 individuals, 35 were heads or owners of companies, including those
who were chairmen, chief executive officers, and presidents of financial institutions. Most of the remaining 25 individuals were chief financial officers, senior vice
presidents, chief operating officers, chief credit officers, licensed attorneys, and
other senior executives. In the $2.9 billion fraud that led to the failures of Taylor,
Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Corporation (“TBW”) and Colonial Bank, the chairman and chief executive officer of TBW, Lee Bentley Farkas, not only was sent to
Federal prison for 30 years, but also was barred from contracting with the Federal
Government and is prohibited by the court from working in the financial or real
estate industries while he is on supervised release subsequent to his release from
Federal prison. TBW’s chief executive officer, Paul Allen, was temporarily barred
from working with the Federal Government, in addition to receiving a 40-month
prison sentence.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) issued lifetime bans
against former president, CEO, and chairman Mark Conner of failed TARPapplicant FirstCity Bank, Stockton, Georgia, and former president and CEO
Reginald Harper of failed TARP-applicant First Community Bank, Hammond,

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Louisiana, for engaging in unsafe and unsound banking practices and breaching
their fiduciary duty. The FDIC bans prohibit these former CEOs from participating in the conduct of the affairs not only of the banks where they were senior
officials but also of any bank in the future. The bans were issued in addition to
them receiving a 12-year prison term and two-year prison term, respectively. Jerry
Williams, former president, CEO, and chairman of failed TARP-applicant Orion
Bank, Naples, Florida, is barred from working in the banking industry or acting
as an investment advisor while he is on supervised release after his release from
his six-year prison term. New Point Financial CEO John Farahi, who engaged in a
Ponzi scheme that caused losses of $7 million to investors, including TARP-funded
banks, was not only sentenced to a 10-year prison term but also has been barred
from working for or being affiliated with any financial institution insured by the
FDIC while on supervised release and was separately banned by the SEC from any
broker/dealer association. SIGTARP investigations in the civil arena have also led to
FTC actions against seven senior executives engaged in two mortgage modification
fraud schemes. Senior executives at Residential Relief Foundation and Freedom
Companies Lending have been permanently banned from advertising, marketing,
promoting, or selling mortgage assistance products or services.
SIGTARP investigations have also led to professional bans or suspensions of six
chief financial officers, chief operating officers, and chief credit officers of financial
institutions. As part of the terms of his supervised release following his five-year
prison sentence, TBW’s chief financial officer, Delton de Armas, is prohibited from
engaging in any aspect of the banking business, mortgage or real estate industry,
or finance for three years. Clayton Coe, FirstCity Bank’s chief financial officer, not
only was sentenced to 87 months in Federal prison but also was banned for life
from banking by the FDIC for engaging in unsafe and unsound banking practices
and breaching his fiduciary duty. Adam Teague, former chief credit officer of failed
TARP applicant Appalachian Community Bank, Ellijay, Georgia, was also banned
for life from banking by the FDIC for engaging in unsafe and unsound banking
practices and breaching his fiduciary duty, in addition to serving a 70-month prison
sentence.
Nine attorneys have been investigated and brought to justice by SIGTARP
and its law enforcement partners. Robert Maloney, in-house counsel for First City
Bank, not only was sentenced to a 39-month prison term but also was ordered by
the FDIC to be banned from working in the banking industry and was disbarred
by the Georgia state bar. David Tamman, outside counsel for New Point Financial
of California, who was sentenced to 84 months in Federal prison for his role in
obstructing the Government’s investigation of New Point, was ordered banned
from appearing before the SEC and also had his law license suspended by the
California state bar association. Co-defendants Greg Flahive, Cynthia Flahive, and
Michael Kent Johnson of the Flahive Law Corporation not only were convicted of
conducting a mortgage modification fraud scheme but also were suspended by the
California bar association from practicing law. SIGTARP civil investigations have
also led to three attorney suspensions by the state of California: Sean Rutledge
of the United Law Group, John Michael Harrison of H.A.M.P. Resources, and

Warren W. Quann of Second Chance Negotiations. Howard Shmuckler, convicted
in 2012 both in state court in Maryland and in Federal court in Virginia for
conducting a fraudulent mortgage rescue scheme while he was the owner and
CEO of the Shmuckler Group, had also held himself out as a practicing attorney.
But Shmuckler, having been previously convicted of bankruptcy fraud, had been
disbarred by the District of Columbia bar association. In addition to his criminal
convictions, Shmuckler is prohibited from practicing law without a valid law
license in Maryland and is barred by the State of Maryland Department of Labor,
Licensing and Regulation from providing credit services or foreclosure consultative
services.

SIGTARP Audit Activity
SIGTARP has initiated 30 audits and six evaluations since its inception. As of
September 30, 2013, SIGTARP has issued 22 reports on audits and evaluations.
Among the ongoing audits and evaluations in process are reviews of: (i) Treasury’s
decision to waive Internal Revenue Code Section 382 for Treasury’s sales of
securities in TARP institutions; (ii) Treasury’s and the state housing finance
agencies’ implementation and execution of the Hardest Hit Fund; and (iii) the
Special Master’s 2013 executive compensation determinations at General Motors
Company and Ally Financial Inc.

Recent Audits/Evaluations Released
Treasury’s Role in the Decision for GM to Provide Pension Payments to Delphi
Employees

On August 15, 2013, SIGTARP released an audit report, “Treasury’s Role in the
Decision for GM to Provide Pension Payments to Delphi Employees,” which
reviewed the decisions and actions involving the restructuring of General Motors
Corporation (“GM”) during the auto bailout. Treasury’s injection of TARP funds in
GM and Chrysler Group LLC (“Chrysler”) was the only bailout with a President’s
Designee overseeing the companies’ restructurings – the Presidential Task Force
on the Auto Industry (“Auto Task Force”). The Auto Task Force delegated the
responsibility for GM’s restructuring to four primary officials who were part of an
Auto Team led by Steven Rattner. GM’s bankruptcy would be one of the largest and
fastest bankruptcies in our nation’s history. A new company, “New GM,” emerged
from GM’s bankruptcy in July 2009, with Treasury owning 61% of its common
stock. New GM purchased substantially all of GM’s assets while leaving behind
many of its liabilities. One of the liabilities that New GM agreed to honor related to
the pensions of certain former GM employees paid an hourly wage and represented
by certain unions, and who had worked in GM’s automobile parts division that was
spun off into Delphi Corporation (“Delphi”). The four Treasury Auto Team officials
made it clear to SIGTARP that the decisions made and Treasury’s role related to
Delphi pensions had to be viewed in the broader context of GM’s restructuring.
The existence of Treasury’s Auto Team and the role these Treasury officials
played sharply contrasted with the role played by Treasury officials under other

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

TARP programs. The four Treasury Auto Team officials played a direct role in GM’s
decisions and operations up to and through GM’s bankruptcy. As GM’s only lender
and later GM’s largest investor, Treasury’s Auto Team had significant leverage
and influence on GM’s decisions leading up to and through the bankruptcy, first
exerted by replacing GM’s then-chief executive officer (“CEO”) Rick Wagoner
with Treasury’s choice, Fritz Henderson. According to Mr. Henderson, this sent
a message to GM executives and was an early indicator that Treasury, as the
main investor in GM, would have significant influence over GM’s decisions and
operations. After Treasury rejected GM’s restructuring plan, GM developed a new
plan with significant influence and leverage from the Auto Team. One GM official
said, “Ultimately it was that GM is not in control. And GM is totally dependent.”
Although the Auto Team’s role was supposed to be advisory for matters not
requiring Treasury’s consent under the TARP loan agreement, in practice, it was
more than advisory. The TARP loan agreement gave Treasury the explicit right to
approve transactions over $100 million and new pension obligations, but the Auto
Team’s influence went far beyond that right. SIGTARP found that the Auto Team
used their leverage as GM’s largest lender to influence GM to make decisions in
areas that did not require Treasury’s consent, in line with Treasury’s preferences.
Auto Team officials told SIGTARP that they “had to carefully manage GM,” that
“we, the Government, were ultimately holding the purse strings” and “GM realized
that there was no other available source of money.” When an Auto Team official
was asked by SIGTARP how they conveyed their preference, given that ultimately
GM could do its own thing, the official said, “Well they could, but then they
couldn’t exist. I mean, as I said, as the lender we had a fair amount of leverage.”
Driven by broader concerns about the auto industry, Treasury’s Auto Team
directed GM’s restructuring toward bankruptcy, first through replacing the CEO
who opposed bankruptcy, second by “highly” suggesting to GM that they felt “pretty
strongly” that a “Section 363” bankruptcy was the best approach. Third, although
CEO Henderson hoped to avoid bankruptcy through a bond exchange, the Auto
Team, who opposed the exchange, communicated to GM their preference for 90%
bondholder participation, a “very high” level of acceptance making bankruptcy
more likely. When the exchange failed, Treasury agreed to fund GM’s bankruptcy.
Treasury’s Auto Team created a condition on funding GM’s bankruptcy that
would serve as pressure on GM and would drive pre-bankruptcy negotiations
and decisions. Treasury conditioned giving GM $30.1 billion in TARP funds on a
“quick-rinse bankruptcy” that would end in 40 days because Auto Team officials
thought that was the best way to save the automobile industry, concerned that
GM could not survive a lengthy bankruptcy and GM’s failure would have broader
systemic consequences. Neither Treasury nor GM believed that the company could
survive a lengthy bankruptcy; however, GM thought that the 40-day timeline was
not realistic, with its lawyer telling the Auto Team that it was “impossibly aggressive. It’s never been done.” Treasury had leverage to set a timeframe that did not
seem realistic to GM, and had never been done before. If GM’s bankruptcy was not
completed in time, GM risked losing its only source of financing and its purchaser
in bankruptcy.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Treasury’s influence over GM deepened after Treasury decided to fund GM’s
bankruptcy and become the majority owner of New GM. With their leverage as
the purchaser of GM’s assets in bankruptcy, Treasury’s Auto Team had significant
influence on GM to make specific decisions that were in keeping with Treasury’s
preferences. One Auto Team official called Treasury’s leverage “considerable”
because the alternative was “catastrophic,” adding that he meant liquidation. GM’s
then-chief financial officer (“CFO”) Ray Young told SIGTARP, “We put forward
recommendations, but at the end of the day, the purchaser [Treasury] makes the
final decision.” An Auto Team official stated, “it is my understanding that as the
buyer, we get to determine which assets are, you know, assets we would buy and
which liabilities” we would take on. Treasury used its significant financial leverage
to get GM to reach agreement with the two stakeholders that Treasury believed
could hold up GM’s bankruptcy – the bondholders and the International Union,
United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America
(“UAW”).
Treasury’s requirement in the December 2008 TARP loan agreement that
GM reach a new deal with the UAW, Treasury’s conditioning TARP funds on a
40-day quick-rinse bankruptcy, and UAW’s leverage to stall the bankruptcy or strike
pressured GM on “getting the deal done” with the UAW and resulted in New GM
taking on the liability to top up the pensions of UAW’s members who had worked
at Delphi at the time of its 1999 spinoff from GM, increasing their pension benefit
payments to their full benefit level. The Auto Team made it clear to GM that they
wanted an agreement with the UAW prior to bankruptcy (which had to be before a
June 1, 2009, bond payment due date) and the Auto Team actively negotiated and
made the overall deal. The UAW understood that GM could not walk away from
the May 18-19 negotiations and had to reach an agreement to be able to survive,
and those same facts put pressure on GM. GM only had a couple of weeks to come
to agreement with the UAW, and if they did not come to agreement, GM risked
the UAW objecting to and prolonging the bankruptcy beyond 40 days, which GM
believed would lead to liquidation. The UAW came to the negotiations with a “hit
list” of priority items including the top-up. The top-ups were never discussed in the
negotiations.
The Auto Team’s role in the decision to top up the pensions of Delphi’s UAW
workers was not advisory. Consistent with the Auto Team’s practice, it would
have been Treasury’s decision as the buyer to assume or reject the top-up liability.
Although the top-up was previously a separate written agreement, the top-up was
now included as one of the obligations in the overall new collective bargaining
agreement with the UAW, which was included in the Master Sale and Purchase
Agreement selling assets to New GM. GM could not decide on its own to agree
to the new collective bargaining agreement that included the top-up because
Treasury’s consent was required under the TARP loan agreement and Treasury was
the purchaser in bankruptcy. The decision that New GM would honor the top-up
was a joint decision by Treasury and GM with Treasury deciding to approve the
UAW collective bargaining agreement with the top-up.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Even though the top-up was never discussed in the negotiations with the UAW,
it became a foregone conclusion that it would be included in the new UAW agreement. Auto Team leader Rattner told SIGTARP that GM had the option of honoring or not honoring the top-up, but GM needed UAW workers and UAW’s consent
was necessary for the bankruptcy. Auto Team leader Rattner and another Auto
Team official told SIGTARP that, because the UAW included it on their list, it was
clear that the UAW expected the top-up to be part of the overall deal. Treasury had
the power to object to New GM taking on the top-up obligation as part of the larger
UAW agreement, but had no desire to blow up the larger deal. Although the Auto
Team was concerned about the threat of a strike, they were also concerned with the
UAW prolonging the bankruptcy, calling not having an agreement like “shooting
yourself in the head.” Auto Team leader Rattner told SIGTARP that getting more
on pensions “was a game of chicken we didn’t want to play. We were under incredible time pressure,” adding “it was not a ridiculous request, and one that we could
have honored and needed to honor.” CEO Henderson told SIGTARP that the pressure to finish the negotiations resulted in no negotiation of the top-up, “the focus
was on getting the deal done,” and that if the top-up was not assumed, “it would
have been ‘mission impossible.’”
Treasury’s Auto Team and GM did not agree to top up the pensions of other
former GM employees at Delphi, which did not have active employees at GM,
and therefore had no leverage to hold up GM’s bankruptcy. This included Delphi
employees who were paid a salary and employees who were paid an hourly wage
who were members of the International Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried,
Machine and Furniture Workers (“IUE”) and the United Steelworkers of America
(“USW”). Although in GM’s bankruptcy New GM did not assume the other top-up
agreements with Delphi IUE and USW employees because those unions did not
have leverage, subsequently New GM agreed to top up the smaller unions because
of the leverage those unions had to prolong Delphi’s bankruptcy or strike, which
GM believed would significantly impact its ability to survive.
GM did not fail and the broader systemic consequences of a GM failure that
Treasury feared were avoided. There are two important lessons to be learned from
the role that Treasury played.
First, the Auto Team’s deep involvement and significant influence on GM’s
decisions leading up to and through GM’s bankruptcy led to expectations that
Treasury would not act as a private investor, but as the Government. The Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”), a Government-backed insurer of pensions, had an expectation that decisions on what obligations GM would take on
related to the Delphi pensions would proceed differently than what might have
normally occurred, and could potentially have saved PBGC billions of dollars with
Treasury involved. Also contributing to this expectation was the fact that the Auto
Team negotiated with PBGC on behalf of GM related to what GM would pay on
the pensions. Delphi and its workers, who had been former GM employees, also
had the expectation that the Government would ensure that GM treat the pensions
of all former GM employees at Delphi the same out of fairness. Also contributing
to this expectation was the fact that TARP funds were being used, and that GM

45

46

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

had taken the position with Delphi (and PBGC) that taking on additional pension
obligations violated the TARP loan agreement and required Treasury’s consent. A
PBGC document stated that Delphi believed GM may be looking to the “car czar”
to mandate that GM assume Delphi pensions as part of GM’s use of TARP funds.
One former Delphi salaried employee told SIGTARP that Treasury “cannot throw
off the mantle of Government and make themselves into a commercial enterprise”
and “it is wrong of our Government to take funds from everyone and give it to the
few.” However, Auto Team officials attempted to view top-ups as a private investor
with one Auto Team official telling SIGTARP that the Government could not make
everyone whole, saying, “I don’t think that anybody thinks bankruptcy is fair.”
Treasury’s Auto Team did not always act as a private investor and at times
acted as the Government to prevent GM from failing, concerned about financial
stability in the auto industry. Although the Auto Team tried to view issues through
a “commercially reasonable” lens like a private investor, they often did not act
as a private investor, nor should they have. Without policies or procedures to
define commercial reasonableness, Treasury used commercial reasonableness as
a justification for all of its actions, even when those actions were based on other
concerns. For example, Treasury decided not to move GM’s headquarters to
save costs out of concerns over the impact on the city of Detroit. Treasury made
other decisions based on broader concerns about the interconnectedness of the
auto industry. No private investor holds the responsibility Treasury has to protect
taxpayers and to promote financial stability in the economy. Treasury made the
TARP injections in GM when no other private investor would lend or invest the
money that GM needed, according to GM’s then CFO. Concerned about too much
debt on GM’s balance sheet, Treasury funded GM’s bankruptcy and converted what
would be higher priority TARP debt to a lower priority equity ownership in New
GM and, according to GM, paid more than GM’s “Enterprise Value.” Treasury’s
Auto Team took these actions based on concerns of the consequences of a GM
failure on other companies in the American automotive industry, concerns not held
by private investors. Even though the Auto Team tried to act as a private investor,
they had considerations that no private investor would ever have had, blurring the
lines between Treasury’s role as the investor and as the Government.
Second, the additional leverage Treasury gave to certain stakeholders, such
as the UAW, contributed to criticism of the disparate treatment between Delphi
salaried and union employees. One Auto Team official told SIGTARP that the
strength of the negotiating parties was dictated by the leverage they held, but
SIGTARP found that additional leverage was given by Treasury. The Auto Team
established a hierarchy of importance of stakeholders and issues that Auto Team
officials believed had to be completed prior to GM’s bankruptcy filing to ensure a
successful quick-rinse bankruptcy that would be completed in 40 days. Treasury
did not view the non-UAW Delphi hourly employees or the Delphi salaried
employees as having leverage because they did not have current employees at GM
and therefore could not hold up GM’s bankruptcy.
Two liabilities that the Auto Team had already decided to assume in bankruptcy
were new agreements with the UAW and bondholders. The UAW had leverage

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

because it knew and understood from Treasury that it was committed to reorganize
GM and not let GM fail. Treasury’s 40-day bankruptcy condition gave the UAW
and bondholders additional leverage to threaten to hold up GM’s bankruptcy. They
may have been able to obtain more concessions than in a traditional bankruptcy
where the issues may be litigated. An Auto Team official told SIGTARP, “We had
to negotiate a deal that the UAW and bondholders would accept.” With Treasury’s
dictate of a 40-day bankruptcy and no indication that Treasury would extend that
timeframe, GM officials were under pressure, believing they had to reach agreements with the bondholders and UAW prior to bankruptcy or risk losing Treasury’s
funding and liquidating.
It is very difficult for Treasury to act as only a private investor and still fulfill its
greater governmental responsibilities. Treasury entered the TARP investments as
the Government, and must continue to act as the Government the whole time it
holds these investments, protecting taxpayers’ investment and fulfilling Treasury’s
responsibility to promote financial stability in the economy. An important lesson
Government officials should learn from the Government’s unprecedented TARP
intervention into private companies is that the actions and decisions taken must
represent the overarching responsibilities the Government owes to the American
public.

SIGTARP Hotline
One of SIGTARP’s primary investigative priorities is to operate the SIGTARP
Hotline and provide a simple, accessible way for the American public to report
concerns, allegations, information, and evidence of violations of criminal and
civil laws in connection with TARP. The SIGTARP Hotline has received and
analyzed more than 33,052 Hotline contacts. These contacts run the gamut
from expressions of concern over the economy to serious allegations of fraud
involving TARP, and a number of SIGTARP’s investigations were generated in
connection with Hotline tips. The SIGTARP Hotline can receive information
anonymously. SIGTARP honors all applicable whistleblower protections and will
provide confidentiality to the fullest extent possible. SIGTARP urges anyone aware
of fraud, waste, or abuse involving TARP programs or funds, whether it involves
the Federal Government, state and local entities, private firms, or individuals, to
contact its representatives at 877-SIG-2009 or www.sigtarp.gov.

Communications with Congress
One of the primary functions of SIGTARP is to ensure that members of Congress
remain adequately and promptly informed of developments in TARP initiatives
and of SIGTARP’s oversight activities. To fulfill that role, the Special Inspector
General and her staff meet regularly with and brief members of Congress and
Congressional staff.

THE SIGTARP ORGANIZATION

SIGTARP leverages the resources of other agencies, and, where appropriate and
cost-effective, obtains services through SIGTARP’s authority to contract.

Staffing and Infrastructure
SIGTARP’s headquarters are in Washington, DC, with regional offices in New
York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Atlanta. As of September 30, 2013,
SIGTARP had 169 employees, plus one detailee from the Federal Housing
Finance Agency Office of Inspector General. The SIGTARP organization chart
as of September 30, 2013, can be found in Appendix L, “Organizational Chart.”
SIGTARP posts all of its reports, testimony, audits, and contracts on its website,
www.sigtarp.gov.
From its inception through September 30, 2012, SIGTARP’s website has had
more than 61.1 million web “hits,” and there have been more than 5.4 million
downloads of SIGTARP’s quarterly reports. The site was redesigned in May 2012.
From May 10, 2012, through September 30, 2013, there have been 165,748 page

TARP OVERVIEW

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

This section summarizes how the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) has
managed the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”). This section also reviews
TARP’s overall finances and provides updates on established TARP component
programs.

TARP FUNDS UPDATE

Initial authorization for TARP funding came through the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), which was signed into law on October 3,
2008.1 EESA appropriated $700 billion to “restore liquidity and stability to the
financial system of the United States.”2 On December 9, 2009, the Secretary of the
Treasury (“Treasury Secretary”) exercised the powers granted him under Section
120(b) of EESA and extended TARP through October 3, 2010.3 In accordance
with Section 106(e) of EESA, Treasury may expend TARP funds after October 3,
2010, as long as it does so pursuant to obligations entered into before that date.4
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“DoddFrank Act”), which became law (Public Law 111-203) on July 21, 2010, amended
the timing and amount of TARP funding.5 The upper limit of the Treasury
Secretary’s authority to purchase and guarantee assets under TARP was reduced to
$475 billion from the original $700 billion.
Treasury’s investment authority under TARP expired on October 3, 2010. This
means that Treasury could not make new obligations after that date. However,
dollars that have already been obligated to existing programs may still be expended.
As of October 3, 2010, Treasury had obligated $474.8 billion to 13 announced
programs. Subsequent to the expiration of Treasury’s investment authority, Treasury
has deobligated funds, reducing obligations to $456.6 billion as of September,
30, 2013.6 Of that amount, $421.2 billion had been spent.7 Taxpayers are owed
$53.4 billion as of September 30, 2013. According to Treasury, as of September
30, 2013, it had $30.7 billion in write-offs, realized losses, or amounts currently
not collectible because of pending bankruptcies or receiverships, leaving $22.7
billion in TARP funds outstanding.8 Treasury’s write-offs and realized losses are
money that taxpayers will never get back. Treasury generally expects the amounts
currently not collectible will also be lost.9 These amounts do not include $9.5
billion in TARP funds spent on housing support programs, which are designed as
a Government subsidy, with no repayments to taxpayers expected.10 In the quarter
ended September 30, 2013, funds that were obligated but unspent remained
available to be spent on only TARP’s housing support programs. According to
Treasury, in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, $0.9 billion of TARP funds
were spent on housing programs, leaving $29 billion obligated and available to be
spent.11
Table 2.1 provides a breakdown of program obligations, changes in obligations,
expenditures, principal repaid, principal refinanced, amounts still owed to taxpayers
under TARP, and obligations available to be spent as of September 30, 2013.
Table 2.1 lists 10 TARP sub-programs, instead of all 13, because it excludes the

Obligations: Definite commitments
that create a legal liability for the
Government to pay funds.
Deobligations: An agency’s cancellation
or downward adjustment of previously
incurred obligations.

a
Amount taxpayers still owed includes amounts disbursed and still outstanding, plus $30.7 billion in write-offs, realized losses, and investments currently not collectible because of pending bankruptcies or
receiverships. It does not include $9.5 billion in TARP dollars spent on housing programs. These programs are designed as Government subsidies, with no repayments to taxpayers expected.
b
Housing support programs were designed as a Government subsidy, with no repayment to taxpayers expected.
c
On March 29, 2013, Treasury deobligated $7.1 billion of the $8.1 billion that was originally allocated to the FHA Short Refinance Program.
d
Includes $363.3 million in non-cash conversions from CPP to CDCI, which is not included in the total of $356.1 billion in TARP principal repaid because it is still owed to TARP from CDCI. Does not include $2.2
billion refinanced from CPP into the Small Business Lending Fund.
e
CDCI obligation amount of $570.1 million. There are no remaining dollars to be spent on CDCI. Of the total obligation, $363.3 million was related to CPP conversions for which no additional CDCI cash was
expended; this is not counted as an expenditure, but it is counted as money still owed to taxpayers. Another $100.7 million was expended for new CDCI expenditures for previous CPP participants. Of the total
obligation, only $106 million went to non-CPP institutions.
f
Treasury deobligated $2 billion of an equity facility for AIG that was never drawn down.
g
On June 28, 2012, Treasury deobligated $2.9 billion in TALF funding, reducing the total obligation to $1.4 billion. On January 23, 2013, Treasury deobligated $1.3 billion, reducing the total obligation to $0.1
billion.
h
On April 10, 2012, Treasury changed its reporting methodology to reclassify as repayments of capital to the Government $958 million in receipts previously categorized as PPIP equity distributions. That $958
million is included in this repayment total.
i
PPIP funds are no longer available to be spent because the three-year investment period ended during the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Total obligation of $22.4 billion and expenditure of $18.6 billion for
PPIP includes $356.3 million of the initial obligation to The TCW Group, Inc. (“TCW”) that was funded. TCW subsequently repaid the funds that were invested in its PPIF. Current obligation of $19.6 billion results
because Oaktree, BlackRock, AG GECC, Invesco and AllianceBernstein did not draw down all the committed equity and debt. The undrawn debt was deobligated, but the undrawn equity was not as of September
30, 2013, except for Invesco.
j
Includes $80.7 billion for Automotive Industry Financing Program, $0.6 billion for Auto Warranty Commitment Program, and $0.4 billion for Auto Supplier Support Program.
k
Treasury deobligated $2.1 billion of a Chrysler credit facility that was never drawn down.
l
The $5 billion reduction in exposure under AGP is not included in the expenditure total because this amount was not an actual cash outlay.

a
Treasury changed its reporting methodology in calculating realized losses, effective June 30, 2012. Disposition expenses are no longer included in calculating realized losses.
b
Since the company remains in TARP, a final determination of realized loss incurred on Treasury’s investment cannot be calculated until the investments have been fully divested. About $470
million in GM share losses during the second quarter came from Treasury’s pre-arranged stock trading plan, which ends on September 13, 2013.
c
On January 29, 2013, Treasury received $79,900 representing the total amount of distribution paid to creditors as a result of the liquidation of Premier Bancorp, Inc.
d
Treasury has sold a total of 1.66 billion AIG common shares at a weighted average price of $31.18 per share, consisting of 1,092,169,866 TARP shares and 562,868,096 non-TARP shares
based upon the Treasury’s pro-rata holding of those shares. The non-TARP shares are those received from the trust created by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the benefit of the
Treasury. Receipts for non-TARP common stock totaled $17.55 billion and are not included in TARP collections. The realized loss reflects the price at which Treasury sold common shares in
AIG and TARP’s cost basis of $43.53 per common share.
e
According to Treasury, in the time since these transactions were classified as write-offs, Treasury has changed its practices and now classifies sales of preferred stock at a loss as realized
losses.
f
Included as investments currently not collectible are 24 CPP banks, or their subsidiary banks, with total CPP investments of $770.7 million, that are currently in the process of bankruptcy or
receivership, and while Treasury has not yet realized the losses, it expects that all of its investments in the banks will be lost.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Cost Estimates
Several Government agencies are responsible under EESA for generating cost
estimates for TARP, including the Congressional Budget Office (“CBO”), the
Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”), and Treasury, whose estimated costs
are audited each year by the Government Accountability Office (“GAO”). Cost
estimates have decreased from CBO’s March 2009 cost estimate of a $356 billion
loss and OMB’s August 2009 cost estimate of a $341 billion loss.12
On May 23, 2013, CBO issued a TARP cost estimate based on its evaluation
of data as of April 17, 2013. CBO estimated the ultimate cost of TARP would be
$21 billion, down $3 billion from its estimate of $24 billion in October 2012.13
According to CBO, the decrease stemmed primarily from an increase in the market
value of the Government’s investment in General Motors shares and sales of a
portion of those investments at prices that were higher than the market price at the
time of CBO’s last report. CBO still estimates that TARP’s largest loss will come
from automotive assistance programs. CBO estimated that only $16 billion of
obligated funds for housing will be spent.
On April 10, 2013, OMB issued the Administration’s fiscal year 2014 budget,
which included a TARP lifetime cost estimate of $47.5 billion, based largely on
figures from December 31, 2012.14 This was a decrease from its estimate of $63.5
billion based on May 31, 2012, data.15 According to OMB, this decrease “was due
in large part [to] improved market conditions and significant progress winding
down TARP investments over the past year, most notably the higher valuations
of AIG common stock and realized sale proceeds, and higher valuation of GM
common stock.”16 Additionally, this estimate assumes $37.6 billion of funds
obligated to housing support programs will be spent, versus earlier estimates that
$45.6 billion would be spent. The estimate also assumes that PPIP will make a
profit of $1.8 billion and that CPP will make a profit of $7.7 billion, including
principal repayments and revenue from dividends, warrants, interest, and fees.
On November 9, 2012, Treasury issued its September 30, 2012, fiscal year
audited agency financial statements for TARP, which contained a cost estimate
of $59.7 billion.17 This estimate is a decrease from Treasury’s estimate of a $70.2
billion loss as of September 30, 2011. According to Treasury, “These costs fluctuate
in large part due to changes in the market prices of common stock for AIG and
General Motors and the estimated value of the Ally Financial stock.”18 According
to Treasury, the largest losses from TARP are expected to come from housing
programs and from assistance to AIG and the automotive industry.19
The most recent TARP program cost estimates from each agency are listed in
Table 2.3.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW OF TARP
As of September 30, 2013, 212 institutions remain in TARP: 108 banks with
remaining CPP principal investments; 31 CPP banks for which Treasury now holds
only warrants to purchase stock; 71 banks and credit unions in CDCI; and GM
and Ally Financial.20 Treasury does not consider the 31 CPP institutions in which
it holds only warrants to be in TARP, however Treasury applies all proceeds from
the sale of warrants in these banks to recovery amounts in TARP’s CPP program.21
Treasury (and therefore the taxpayer) remains a shareholder in companies that have
not repaid the Government. Treasury’s equity ownership is largely in two forms —
common and preferred stock — although it also has received debt in the form of
senior subordinated debentures.

Common Stock: Equity ownership
entitling an individual to share in
corporate earnings and voting rights.
Preferred Stock: Equity ownership that
usually pays a fixed dividend before
distributions for common stock owners
but only after payments due to debt
holders. It typically confers no voting
rights. Preferred stock also has priority
over common stock in the distribution
of assets when a bankrupt company is
liquidated.
Senior Subordinated Debentures:
Debt instrument ranking below senior
debt but above equity with regard to
investors’ claims on company assets
or earnings.

$363.3 million in non-cash conversion from CPP to
CDCI, which is not included in the $356.1 billion in TARP
repayments because it is still owed to TARP from CDCI.
Additionally, $2.2 billion was refinanced into SBLF.
b
Amount taxpayers still owed includes amounts
disbursed and still outstanding, plus $30.7 billion in
write-offs, realized losses, and investments currently
not collectible because of pending bankruptcies or
receiverships. It does not include $9.5 billion in TARP
dollars spent on housing programs. These programs
are designed as Government subsidies, with no
repayment to taxpayers expected.
Sources: Treasury, Transactions Report, 9/30/2013;
Treasury, Daily TARP Update, 10/1/2013.

According to Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, 254 TARP recipients
(including 242 banks and credit unions, two auto companies, nine PPIP managers,
and AIG) had paid back all of their principal or repurchased shares, although
Chrysler and AIG did so at a loss to Treasury. Another 137 CPP banks refinanced
into the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”). In addition, 13 TARP recipients
(including 11 banks and credit unions, GM, and Ally Financial) had partially repaid
their principal or repurchased their shares but remained in TARP.22 According
to Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, 193 banks and credit unions have exited
CPP or CDCI with less than a full repayment, including institutions whose shares
have been sold for less than par value (22), or at a loss at auction (143), and
institutions that are in various stages of bankruptcy or receivership (28).23 Eight
banks have been sold at a profit at auction.24 Four CPP banks merged with other
CPP banks.25 According to Treasury, $356.1 billion in principal has been repaid.26
Additionally, 137 banks refinanced into SBLF, a non-TARP Government program,
for $2.2 billion. Taxpayers are still owed $53.4 billion under TARP as of September
30, 2013. According to Treasury, it has incurred $4.2 billion in write-offs, $25.8
billion in realized losses, which it will never get back. Additionally, Treasury
reported $770.7 million in amounts currently not collectible because of pending
bankruptcies or receiverships as of September 30, 2013, money it generally expects
will be lost.27 That leaves $22.7 billion in TARP funds outstanding (not including
$9.5 billion in TARP funds spent as a subsidy for TARP housing programs).28
Figure 2.1 provides a snapshot of the cumulative expenditures, repayments, and
amount owed as of September 30, 2013. Taxpayers also are entitled to dividend
payments, interest, and warrants for taking on the risk of TARP investments.
According to Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, Treasury had collected $46.9
billion in interest, dividends, and other income, including $9.4 billion in proceeds
from the sale of warrants and stock received as a result of exercised warrants.29
As of September 30, 2013, obligated funds totaling $29 billion were still
available to be drawn down under TARP’s housing support programs.30
Some TARP programs are scheduled to last as late as 2021. Table 2.4 provides
details of those exit dates.

Housing Support Programs
The stated purpose of TARP’s housing support programs is to help homeowners
and financial institutions that hold troubled housing-related assets. Although
Treasury originally committed to use $50 billion in TARP funds for these programs,
it subsequently obligated only $45.6 billion, then in March 2013, reduced its
obligation to $38.5 billion.31 As of September 30, 2013, $9.5 billion (25% of
obligated funds) has been expended.32 However, some of these expended funds
have been used for administrative expenses by the state Housing Finance Agencies
participating in the Hardest Hit Fund program or remain with them as cash on
hand.
• Making Home Affordable (“MHA”) Program — According to Treasury, this
umbrella program for Treasury’s foreclosure mitigation efforts is intended to
“help bring relief to responsible homeowners struggling to make their mortgage
payments, while preventing neighborhoods and communities from suffering
the negative spillover effects of foreclosure, such as lower housing prices,
increased crime, and higher taxes.”33 MHA, for which Treasury has obligated
$29.9 billion of TARP funds, consists of the Home Affordable Modification
Program (“HAMP”), which includes HAMP Tier 1 and HAMP Tier 2, which
both modify first-lien mortgages to reduce payments; the Federal Housing
Administration (“FHA”) HAMP loan modification option for FHA-insured
mortgages (“Treasury/FHA-HAMP”); the U.S. Department of Agriculture Office
of Rural Development (“RD”) HAMP (“RD-HAMP”); the Home Affordable
Foreclosure Alternatives (“HAFA”) program; and the Second Lien Modification
Program (“2MP”).34 HAMP in turn encompasses various initiatives in addition
to the modification of first-lien mortgages, including Home Price Decline
Protection (“HPDP”), the Principal Reduction Alternative (“PRA”), and the
Home Affordable Unemployment Program (“UP”).35 Additionally, the overall
MHA obligation of $29.9 billion includes $2.7 billion to support the Treasury/
FHA Second-Lien Program (“FHA2LP”), which complements the FHA
Short Refinance program (discussed later) and is intended to support the
extinguishment of second-lien loans.36
As of September 30, 2013, MHA had expended $6.5 billion of TARP money
(22% of $29.9 billion).37 Of that amount, $5.4 billion was expended on HAMP,

59

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

$672.6 million on HAFA, and $453 million on 2MP.38 As of September 30,
2013, there were 456,542 active Tier 1 and 20,826 active Tier 2 permanent
first-lien modifications under the TARP-funded portion of HAMP, an increase
of 10,215 Tier 1 and 11,338 Tier 2 active permanent modifications over the
past quarter.39 For more information, including participation numbers for each
of the MHA programs and subprograms, see the “Housing Support Programs”
discussion in this section.
• Housing Finance Agency (“HFA”) Hardest Hit Fund (“HHF”) — The stated
purpose of this program is to provide TARP funding for “innovative measures
to help families in the states that have been hit the hardest by the aftermath
of the housing bubble.”40 Treasury obligated $7.6 billion for this program.41 As
of September 30, 2013, $2.9 billion had been drawn down by the states from
HHF.42 However, as of June 30, 2013, the latest data available, only $1.7 billion
had been spent assisting 126,858 homeowners, with the remaining $308.5
million funds used for administrative expenses and $719.7 million as unspent
cash-on-hand.43 For more information, see the “Housing Support Programs”
discussion in this section and Section 3 of this report.44
• FHA Short Refinance Program — Treasury has provided a TARP-funded
letter of credit for up to $1 billion in loss protection on refinanced first liens.45
As of September 30, 2013, there have been 3,552 refinancings under the
FHA Short Refinance program, an increase of 416 refinancings during the
past quarter.46 For more information, see the “Housing Support Programs”
discussion in this section.

Financial Institution Support Programs
Systemically Significant Institutions:
Term referring to any financial
institution whose failure would impose
significant losses on creditors and
counterparties, call into question the
financial strength of similar institutions,
disrupt financial markets, raise
borrowing costs for households and
businesses, and reduce household
wealth.

Treasury primarily invested capital directly into financial institutions including
banks, bank holding companies, and, if deemed by Treasury critical to the financial
system, some systemically significant institutions.47
• Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) — Under CPP, Treasury directly
purchased preferred stock or subordinated debentures in qualifying financial
institutions.48 CPP was intended to provide funds to “stabilize and strengthen
the U.S. financial system by increasing the capital base of an array of healthy,
viable institutions, enabling them [to] lend to consumers and business[es].”49
Treasury invested $204.9 billion in 707 institutions through CPP, which closed
to new funding on December 29, 2009.50 As of September 30, 2013, 139
of those institutions remained in TARP; in 31 of them, Treasury holds only
warrants to purchase stock. Treasury does not consider these 31 institutions to
be in TARP, however Treasury applies all proceeds from the sale of warrants in
these banks to recovery amounts in TARP’s CPP program. As of September 30,
2013, 108 of the 139 institutions had outstanding CPP principal investments.51
Of the 707 banks that received CPP investments, 599 banks no longer have
outstanding principal investments in CPP. Nearly a quarter of the 707 banks,
or 165, refinanced into other Government programs — 28 of them into TARP’s
CDCI and 137 into SBLF, a non-TARP program.52 Only 230 of the banks, or

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

33% of the original 707, fully repaid CPP otherwise.53 Of the other banks that
have exited CPP, four CPP banks merged with other CPP banks, Treasury sold
its investments in 22 banks for less than par and its investments in 151 banks
at auction (143 of those investments sold at a loss), and 27 institutions or their
subsidiary banks failed, meaning Treasury lost its entire investment in those
banks.54 As of September 30, 2013, taxpayers were still owed $7 billion related
to CPP. According to Treasury, it had write-offs, realized losses, and investments
not currently collectible as a result of bankruptcy of $4.6 billion in the program,
leaving $2.4 billion in TARP funds outstanding.55 Included as not currently
collectible as a result of bankruptcy are 24 CPP banks, or their subsidiary banks,
with total CPP investments of $770.7 million, that are currently in the process
of bankruptcy. While Treasury has not yet realized the loss, it expects that all
of its investments in the banks will be lost.56 According to Treasury, $195.7
billion of the CPP principal (or 96%) had been repaid as of September 30,
2013. The repayment amount includes $363.3 million in preferred stock that
was converted from CPP investments into CDCI and therefore still represents
outstanding obligations to TARP. Additionally, $2.2 billion was refinanced in
2011 into SBLF, a non-TARP Government program.57
Treasury continues to manage its portfolio of CPP investments, including,
for certain struggling institutions, converting its preferred equity ownership into
a more junior form of equity ownership, often at a discount to par value (which
may result in a loss) in an attempt to preserve some value that might be lost if
these institutions were to fail. As of September 30, 2013, Treasury has held 20
sets of auctions to sell all of its preferred stock investments in 151 banks and
part of its investment in an additional bank, selling all but eight investments at a
discounted price resulting in a loss to Treasury.58 For more information, see the
“Capital Purchase Program” discussion in this section.
• Community Development Capital Initiative (“CDCI”) — Under CDCI,
Treasury used TARP money to buy preferred stock in or subordinated debt from
Community Development Financial Institutions (“CDFIs”). Treasury intended
for CDCI to “improve access to credit for small businesses in the country’s
hardest-hit communities.”59 Under CDCI, TARP made capital investments
in the preferred stock or subordinated debt of eligible banks, bank holding
companies, thrifts, and credit unions.60 Eighty-four institutions received $570.1
million in funding under CDCI.61 However, 28 of these institutions converted
their existing CPP investment into CDCI ($363.3 million of the $570.1
million) and 10 of those that converted received combined additional funding
of $100.7 million under CDCI.62 Only $106 million of CDCI money went to
institutions that were not already TARP recipients. As of September 30, 2013,
71 institutions remained in CDCI.63 As of September 30, 2013, three remaining
CDCI institutions had unpaid dividend or interest payments.64 For more
information, see the “Community Development Capital Initiative” discussion in
this section.
• Systemically Significant Failing Institutions (“SSFI”) Program — SSFI
enabled Treasury to invest in systemically significant institutions to prevent

Community Development Financial
Institutions (“CDFIs”): Financial
institutions eligible for Treasury funding
to serve urban and rural low-income
communities through the CDFI Fund.
CDFIs were created in 1994 by the
Riegle Community Development and
Regulatory Improvement Act.

entities providing the assets, and that
is legally isolated from its sponsor or
parent company.

them from failing.65 Only one firm received SSFI assistance: American
International Group, Inc. (“AIG”). The Government’s rescue of AIG involved
several different funding facilities provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York (“FRBNY”) and Treasury, with various changes to the transactions over
time. Combined, Treasury and FRBNY committed $182 billion to bail out AIG,
of which $161 billion was disbursed.66
There were two TARP investments in AIG. On November 25, 2008,
Treasury bought $40 billion of AIG’s preferred stock, the proceeds of which
were used to repay a portion of AIG’s debt to FRBNY. Then, on April 17, 2009,
Treasury obligated approximately $29.8 billion that AIG could draw down as
needed.67
On January 14, 2011, AIG executed a Recapitalization Plan under which
AIG fully repaid FRBNY’s revolving credit facility, AIG purchased the remainder
of FRBNY’s preferred equity interests in two AIG subsidiaries (which it then
transferred to Treasury), AIG drew down $20.3 billion in TARP funds, and
Treasury converted its preferred stock holdings into an approximately 92.1%
common equity ownership stake in AIG.68
Through payments in February and March 2011, AIG fully repaid the
Government’s preferred interests in the American Life Insurance Company
(“ALICO”) special purpose vehicle (“SPV”), as well as its preferred interests in
the American International Assurance Co., Ltd. (“AIA”) SPV. From May 2011
through December 2012, Treasury sold all 1.66 billion shares of AIG’s common
stock that it controlled, which at one point was 92% of AIG’s common stock.
Treasury’s investment in AIG ended on March 1, 2013, when Treasury sold
its remaining investment, 2.7 million warrants for the right to purchase AIG
common shares.69 AIG bought the warrants from the Government for $25.2
million, or about $9.35 per share.70
As of September 30, 2013, as reflected on Treasury’s books and records,
taxpayers had recouped $54.4 billion of the $67.8 billion in TARP funds and
had realized losses from an accounting standpoint of $13.5 billion on Treasury’s
sale of AIG stock.71 Due to the January 2011 restructuring of the FRBNY and
Treasury investments, Treasury held common stock from the TARP and FRBNY
assistance, and, according to Treasury, the Government overall has made a $4.1
billion gain on the stock sales, and $956 million has been paid in dividends and
other income.72
On July 9, 2013, the Financial Stability Oversight Council (“FSOC”)
announced that it had designated AIG as a systemically important nonbank
financial company under Dodd-Frank, thereby subjecting AIG to consolidated
supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal
Reserve”) and to enhanced prudential standards.73
For more information, see the “Systemically Significant Failing Institutions
Program” discussion in this section.
• Targeted Investment Program (“TIP”) — Through TIP, Treasury invested in
financial institutions it deemed critical to the financial system.74 There were two
expenditures under this program, totaling $40 billion — the purchases of $20

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

billion each of senior preferred stock in Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) and Bank
of America Corp. (“Bank of America”).75 Treasury also accepted common stock
warrants from each, as required by EESA. Both banks fully repaid Treasury
for its TIP investments.76 Treasury auctioned its Bank of America warrants on
March 3, 2010, and auctioned its Citigroup warrants on January 25, 2011.77 For
more information on these transactions, see the “Targeted Investment Program
and Asset Guarantee Program” discussion in this section.
• Asset Guarantee Program (“AGP”) — AGP was designed to provide
insurance-like protection for a select pool of mortgage-related or similar assets
held by participants whose portfolios of distressed or illiquid assets threatened
market confidence.78 Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”), and the Federal Reserve offered certain loss protections in connection
with $301 billion in troubled Citigroup assets.79 In exchange for providing
the loss protection, Treasury received $4 billion of preferred stock that was
later converted to trust preferred securities (“TRUPS”), and FDIC received
$3 billion.80 On December 23, 2009, in connection with Citigroup’s TIP
repayment, Citigroup and the Government terminated the AGP agreement and
the Government suffered no loss. On December 28, 2012, FDIC transferred
$800 million of Citigroup TRUPS to Treasury, as a result of Citigroup’s
participation in FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program having closed
without a loss.81 Treasury converted the TRUPS it received from FDIC into
Citigroup subordinated notes and subsequently sold them for $894 million.82
For more information, see the “Targeted Investment Program and Asset
Guarantee Program” discussion in this section.

Senior Preferred Stock: Shares that
give the stockholder priority dividend
and liquidation claims over junior
preferred and common stockholders.
Illiquid Assets: Assets that cannot be
quickly converted to cash.
Trust Preferred Securities (“TRUPS”):
Securities that have both equity and
debt characteristics, created by
establishing a trust and issuing debt
to it.

Asset Support Programs
The stated purpose of these programs was to support the liquidity and market value
of assets owned by financial institutions to free capital so that these firms could
extend more credit to support the economy. These assets included various classes
of asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and several types of loans.
• Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”) — TALF was
originally designed to increase credit availability for consumers and small
businesses through a $200 billion Federal Reserve loan program. TALF provided
investors with non-recourse loans secured by certain types of ABS, including
credit card receivables, auto loans, equipment loans, student loans, floor
plan loans, insurance-premium finance loans, loans guaranteed by the Small
Business Administration (“SBA”), residential mortgage servicing advances, and
commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”).83 TALF closed to new loans
in June 2010.84 TALF ultimately provided $71.1 billion in Federal Reserve
financing—$59 billion with non-mortgage related ABS as collateral and $12.1
billion with CMBS as collateral.85 Of that amount, $100.7 million remained
outstanding as of September 30, 2013.86 As of early 2013, the TALF program
collected fees totaling more than the amount of loans still outstanding.87 As of

Asset-Backed Securities (“ABS”): Bonds
backed by a portfolio of consumer
or corporate loans (e.g., credit card,
auto, or small-business loans). Financial
companies typically issue ABS backed
by existing loans in order to fund new
loans for their customers.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed
Securities (“CMBS”): Bonds backed by
one or more mortgages on commercial
real estate (e.g., office buildings, rental
apartments, hotels).

63

64

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Legacy Securities: Real estate-related
securities originally issued before
2009 that remained on the balance
sheets of financial institutions because
of pricing difficulties that resulted from
market disruption.
Non-Agency Residential MortgageBacked Securities (“non-agency
RMBS”): Financial instrument backed
by a group of residential real estate
mortgages (i.e., home mortgages for
residences with up to four dwelling
units) not guaranteed or owned by
a Government-sponsored enterprise
(“GSE”) or a Government agency.

September 30, 2013, there had been no surrender of collateral related to these
loans.88 For more information, see the “TALF” discussion in this section.
• Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”) — PPIP’s goal was to restart
credit markets by using a combination of private equity, matching Government
equity, and Government debt to purchase legacy securities, i.e., CMBS and
non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“non-agency RMBS”).89
Under the program, nine Public-Private Investment Funds (“PPIFs”) managed
by private asset managers invested in non-agency RMBS and CMBS. Treasury
originally obligated $22.4 billion in TARP funds to the program and reduced
the amount over time to $19.6 billion as of September 30, 2013. Together, all
nine PPIFs drew down $18.6 billion in debt and equity financing from Treasury
funding out of the total obligation, and repaid all of it.90 As of September 30,
2013, the entire PPIP portfolio had been liquidated, and three PPIP funds
were legally dissolved while the other five were in various stages of winding
down operations.91 For more information, see the “Public-Private Investment
Program” discussion in this section.
• Unlocking Credit for Small Businesses (“UCSB”)/Small Business
Administration (“SBA”) Loan Support Initiative — In March 2009, Treasury
officials announced that Treasury would buy up to $15 billion in securities
backed by SBA loans under UCSB.92 Treasury obligated a total of $400 million
for UCSB and made purchases of $368.1 million in 31 securities under the
program. Treasury sold the last of its UCSB securities on January 24, 2012,
ending the program with a net investment gain of about $9 million.93 For more
information, see the “Unlocking Credit for Small Businesses/Small Business
Administration Loan Support” discussion in this section.

Automotive Industry Financing Program (“AIFP”)
TARP’s automotive industry support through AIFP aimed to “prevent a significant
disruption of the American automotive industry, which would pose a systemic
risk to financial market stability and have a negative effect on the economy of the
United States.”94 As of September 30, 2013, General Motors Company (“GM”)
and Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally Financial”), formerly GMAC Inc., remain in TARP.
Taxpayers are still owed $32.5 billion. This includes about $15 billion for the TARP
investment in GM and $14.6 billion for the TARP investment in Ally Financial, for
which Treasury holds common stock in GM and common stock and mandatorily
convertible preferred shares (“MCP”) in Ally Financial. This amount also includes
a $2.9 billion loss taxpayers suffered on the principal TARP investment in Chrysler.
Chrysler Financial fully repaid its TARP investment.95
Through AIFP, Treasury made emergency loans to Chrysler Holding LLC
(“Chrysler”), Chrysler Financial Services Americas LLC (“Chrysler Financial”), and
GM. Additionally, Treasury bought senior preferred stock from Ally Financial and
assisted Chrysler and GM during their bankruptcy restructurings. As of September
30, 2013, $79.7 billion had been disbursed through AIFP and its subprograms,
and Treasury had received $47.2 billion in principal repayments, preferred stock
redemption proceeds, and stock sale proceeds. As of September 30, 2013, Treasury

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

had received approximately $35.2 billion related to its GM investment, $2.5 billion
related to its Ally Financial/GMAC investment, $8 billion related to its Chrysler
investment, and $1.5 billion related to its Chrysler Financial investment.96 As of
September 30, 2013, Treasury had also received approximately $5.5 billion in
dividends and interest under AIFP and its two subprograms, ASSP and AWCP.97
In return for a total of $49.5 billion in loans to GM, Treasury received $6.7
billion in debt in GM (which was subsequently repaid), in addition to $2.1 billion
in preferred stock and a 61% common equity stake.98 Through a series of stock
sales, Treasury has divested its preferred stock and most of its common stock,
reducing its stake to 7.3%.99 Because the common stock sales have all taken place
below Treasury’s break-even price, Treasury has so far booked a loss of $9.7 billion
on the sales.100
Treasury invested a total of $17.2 billion in Ally Financial, and $14.6 billion
of that is still outstanding. On December 30, 2010, Treasury’s investment was
restructured to provide for a 74% common equity stake, $2.7 billion in TRUPS
(including amounts received in warrants that were immediately converted into
additional securities), and $5.9 billion in mandatorily convertible preferred
shares.101 Treasury sold the $2.7 billion in TRUPS on March 2, 2011, resulting in
a $2.5 billion principal repayment to Treasury.102 On May 14, 2012, Ally Financial
announced that its mortgage subsidiary, Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap), and
certain of its subsidiaries, filed for bankruptcy. On June 26, 2013, a bankruptcy
court approved Ally Financial’s proposed $2.1 billion settlement with ResCap.103
Treasury provided approximately $12.5 billion in loan commitments to Chrysler,
of which $2.1 billion was never drawn down.104 On July 21, 2011, Treasury sold to
Fiat for $500 million Treasury’s remaining equity ownership interest in Chrysler.105
Treasury also sold to Fiat for $60 million Treasury’s rights to receive proceeds under
an agreement with the United Auto Workers (“UAW”) retiree trust pertaining to the
trust’s shares in Chrysler on a fully diluted basis.106 Treasury’s books reflect a $2.9
billion loss to taxpayers on their principal investment in Chrysler.107
Treasury provided a $1.5 billion loan to Chrysler Financial, which was fully
repaid with interest in July 2009.108
For more information, see the “Automotive Industry Support Programs”
discussion in this section.
AIFP also included two subprograms:
• Auto Supplier Support Program (“ASSP”) — According to Treasury, this
program was intended to provide auto suppliers “with the confidence they need
to continue shipping their parts and the support they need to help access loans
to pay their employees and continue their operations.”109 Under the program,
which ended in April 2010, Treasury made loans for GM ($290 million) and
Chrysler ($123.1 million) that were fully repaid with $115.9 million in interest,
fees and other income.110 For more information, see the “Auto Supplier Support
Program” discussion in this section.
• Auto Warranty Commitment Program (“AWCP”) — This program was
designed to bolster consumer confidence by guaranteeing Chrysler and GM

65

66

vehicle warranties during the companies’ restructuring through bankruptcy. It
ended in July 2009 after Chrysler fully repaid its AWCP loan of $280.1 million
with interest and GM repaid just the principal — $360.6 million — of its
loan.111 For more information, see the “Auto Warranty Commitment Program”
discussion in this section.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

HOUSING SUPPORT PROGRAMS

On February 18, 2009, the Administration announced a foreclosure prevention
plan that became the Making Home Affordable (“MHA”) program, an umbrella
program for the Administration’s homeowner assistance and foreclosure prevention
efforts.112 MHA initially consisted of the Home Affordable Modification Program
(“HAMP”), a Treasury program that uses TARP funds to provide incentives for
mortgage servicers to modify eligible first-lien mortgages, and two initiatives at
the Government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”) that use non-TARP funds.113
HAMP was originally intended “to help as many as three to four million financially
struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure by modifying loans to a level that is
affordable for borrowers now and sustainable over the long term.”114 On June 1,
2012, HAMP expanded the pool of homeowners potentially eligible to be assisted
through the launch of HAMP Tier 2; however, Treasury has not estimated the
number of homeowners that HAMP Tier 2 is intended to assist.115 On June 13,
2013, Treasury generally extended MHA programs for an additional two years,
from December 31, 2013, to December 31, 2015.116
Treasury over time expanded MHA to include sub-programs. Treasury also
allocated TARP funds to support two additional housing support efforts: TARP
funding for 19 state housing finance agencies, called the Housing Finance
Agency Hardest Hit Fund (“Hardest Hit Fund” or “HHF”) and a Federal Housing
Administration (“FHA”) refinancing program. The HHF program is scheduled
to expire on December 31, 2017. The FHA refinancing program is currently
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014.117
Not all housing support programs are funded, or completely funded, by TARP.
Of the originally anticipated $75 billion cost for MHA, $50 billion was to be
funded by TARP, with the remainder funded by the GSEs.118 Although Treasury
originally committed to use $50 billion in TARP funds for these programs,
it subsequently obligated only $45.6 billion, and in March 2013, reduced its
obligation to $38.5 billion, which includes $29.9 billion for MHA incentive
payments, $7.6 billion for the Hardest Hit Fund, and $1 billion for FHA Short
Refinance.119
Under EESA and the SIGTARP Act, SIGTARP is required to report quarterly to
Congress to provide certain information about TARP over that preceding quarter.
Housing support programs include the following initiatives:
• Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP” or “HAMP Tier 1”)
— HAMP is intended to use incentive payments to encourage loan servicers
(“servicers”) and investors to modify eligible first-lien mortgages so that the
monthly payments of homeowners who are currently in default or generally at
imminent risk of default will be reduced to affordable and sustainable levels.120
Incentive payments for modifications to loans owned or guaranteed by the
GSEs are paid by the GSEs, not TARP.121 As of September 30, 2013, there were

Government-Sponsored Enterprises
(“GSEs”): Private corporations created
and chartered by the Government to
reduce borrowing costs and provide
liquidity in the market, the liabilities
of which are not officially considered
direct taxpayer obligations. On
September 7, 2008, the two largest
GSEs, the Federal National Mortgage
Association (“Fannie Mae”) and
the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), were
placed into Federal conservatorship.
They are currently being financially
supported by the Government.
Loan Servicers: Companies that
perform administrative tasks on
monthly mortgage payments until the
loan is repaid. These tasks include
billing, tracking, and collecting monthly
payments; maintaining records of
payments and balances; allocating
and distributing payment collections
to investors in accordance with
each mortgage loan’s governing
documentation; following up
on delinquencies; and initiating
foreclosures.
Investors: Owners of mortgage loans
or bonds backed by mortgage loans
who receive interest and principal
payments from monthly mortgage
payments. Servicers manage the
cash flow from borrowers’ monthly
payments and distribute them to
investors according to Pooling and
Servicing Agreements (“PSAs”).

67

68

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Short Sale: Sale of a home for less
than the unpaid mortgage balance.
A borrower sells the home and the
investor accepts the proceeds as full
or partial satisfaction of the unpaid
mortgage balance, thus avoiding the
foreclosure process.
Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure: Instead
of going through foreclosure, the
borrower voluntarily surrenders the
deed to the home to the investor, as
satisfaction of the unpaid mortgage
balance.

888,394 active permanent HAMP Tier 1 modifications, 456,542 of which were
under TARP, with the remainder under the GSE portion of the program.122
While HAMP generally refers to the first-lien mortgage modification program, it
also includes the following subprograms:
o Home Price Decline Protection (“HPDP”) — HPDP is intended to
encourage additional investor participation and HAMP modifications
in areas with recent price declines by providing TARP-funded
incentives to offset potential losses in home values.123 As of September
30, 2013, there were 210,505 (Tier 1 and Tier 2) loan modifications
under HPDP.124
o Principal Reduction Alternative (“PRA”) — PRA is intended to
encourage the use of principal reduction in modifications for eligible
borrowers whose homes are worth significantly less than the remaining
outstanding balances of their first-lien mortgage loans. It provides
TARP-funded incentives to offset a portion of the principal reduction
provided by the investor.125 As of September 30, 2013, there were
104,771 (Tier 1 and Tier 2) active permanent modifications through
PRA.126
o Home Affordable Unemployment Program (“UP”) — UP is
intended to offer assistance to unemployed homeowners through
temporary forbearance of all or a portion of their payments.127 As of
August 31, 2013, which according to Treasury is the most recent data
available, 5,739 borrowers were actively participating in UP.128
• Home Affordable Modification Program Tier 2 (“HAMP Tier 2”) — HAMP
Tier 2 is an expansion of HAMP to permit HAMP modifications on non-owneroccupied “rental” properties, and to allow borrowers with a wider range of debtto-income ratios to receive modifications.129 As of September 30, 2013, 21,522
HAMP Tier 2 modifications had become permanent, of which 20,826 remained
active.130 Of Tier 2 modifications started, 3,537 were previously HAMP Tier 1
permanent modifications.
• Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (“HAFA”) — HAFA is intended
to provide incentives to servicers, investors, and borrowers to pursue short sales
and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure for borrowers in cases in which the borrower
is unable or unwilling to enter or sustain a modification. Under this program,
the servicer releases the lien against the property and the investor waives all
rights to seek a deficiency judgment against a borrower who uses a short sale
or deed-in-lieu when the property is worth less than the outstanding amount of
the mortgage.131 As of September 30, 2013, the latest data provided by Treasury,
there were 135,112 short sales or deeds-in-lieu under HAFA.132
• Second-Lien Modification Program (“2MP”) — 2MP is intended to modify
second-lien mortgages when a corresponding first lien is modified under
HAMP by a participating servicer.133 As of September 30, 2013, 16 servicers are
participating in 2MP.134 These servicers represent approximately 55 – 60% of the
second-lien servicing market.135 As of September 30, 2013, there were 76,935
active permanently modified second liens in 2MP.136

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

• Agency-Insured Programs — These programs are similar in structure
to HAMP, but apply to eligible first-lien mortgages insured by FHA or
guaranteed by the Department of Agriculture’s Office of Rural Development
(“RD”) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”).137 Treasury provides
TARP-funded incentives to encourage modifications under the FHA and RD
modification programs. As of September 30, 2013, there were 77 RD-HAMP
active permanent modifications and 14,895 FHA-HAMP active permanent
modifications.138
• Treasury/FHA Second-Lien Program (“FHA2LP”) — In FHA2LP, Treasury
uses TARP funds to provide incentives to servicers and investors who agree to
principal reduction or extinguishment of second liens associated with an FHA
refinance.139 As of September 30, 2013, no second liens had been partially
written down or extinguished under the program.140
• Housing Finance Agency Hardest Hit Fund (“HHF”) — A TARP-funded
program, HHF is intended to fund foreclosure prevention programs run by state
housing finance agencies in states hit hardest by the decrease in home prices
and in states with high unemployment rates. Eighteen states and Washington,
DC, received approval for aid through the program.141 As of June 30, 2013, the
latest data available, 126,858 borrowers had received assistance under HHF.142
• FHA Short Refinance Program — This program, which is partially supported
by TARP funds, is intended to provide borrowers who are current on their
mortgage an opportunity to refinance existing underwater mortgage loans that
are not currently insured by FHA into FHA-insured mortgages with lower
principal balances. Treasury has provided a TARP-funded letter of credit for
up to $1 billion in loss coverage on these newly originated FHA loans.143 As
of September 30, 2013, 3,552 loans had been refinanced under FHA Short
Refinance.144

Status of TARP Funds Obligated to Housing Support
Programs
Treasury initially obligated $45.6 billion to housing support programs, which was
reduced to $38.5 billion, of which $9.5 billion, or 25%, has been expended as
of September 30, 2013.145 Of that, $0.9 billion was expended in the quarter
ended September 30, 2013. However, some of the expended funds remain as cash
on hand or paid for administrative expenses at state housing finance agencies
(“HFAs”) participating in the Hardest Hit Fund program. Treasury has capped the
aggregate amount available to pay servicer, borrower, and investor incentives under
MHA programs at $29.9 billion, of which $6.5 billion (22%), has been spent as of
September 30, 2013.146 Treasury allocated $7.6 billion to the Hardest Hit Fund. As
of September 30, 2013, of the $7.6 billion in TARP funds available for HHF, states
had drawn down $2.9 billion.147 As of June 30, 2013, states had spent $1.7 billion
(22%) of those funds to assist 126,858 homeowners, spent $308.5 million (4%)

Underwater Mortgage: Mortgage loan
on which a homeowner owes more
than the home is worth, typically as
a result of a decline in the home’s
value. Underwater mortgages also are
referred to as having negative equity.

for administrative expenses, and held $719.7 million (9%) as unspent cash-onhand.148,i,ii Treasury originally allocated $8.1 billion for FHA Short Refinance, but
deobligated $7.1 billion in March 2013.149 Of the $1 billion currently allocated for
FHA Short Refinance, $58.9 million has been spent, which includes $50 million
held in a pre-funded reserve account to pay future claims, $8.9 million spent on
administrative expenses, and $47,840 spent on one refinanced mortgage that later
defaulted.150

i According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; HFAs [states] vary as to when and how
they capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
ii States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances,
cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial payments
made.

As of September 30, 2013, Treasury had active agreements with 91 servicers.151
That compares with 145 servicers that had agreed to participate in MHA as
of October 3, 2010.152 According to Treasury, of the $29.9 billion obligated to
participating servicers under their Servicer Participation Agreements (“SPAs”),
as of September 30, 2013, only $6.5 billion (22%) has been spent, broken down
as follows: $5.4 billion had been spent on completing permanent modifications
of first liens, including PRA and HPDP, (477,368 of which remain active); $453
million under 2MP; and $672.6 million on incentives for short sales or deedsin-lieu of foreclosure under HAFA.153 Of the combined amount of incentive
payments, according to Treasury, approximately $3.2 billion went to pay investor
or lender incentives, $2 billion went to pay servicer incentives, and $1.3 billion
went to pay borrower incentives.154 As of September 30, 2013, of the $7.6 billion
in TARP funds available for HHF, states had drawn down $2.9 billion.155 As of
June 30, 2013, states had drawn down $2.7 billion and, according to the latest
data available, had spent $1.7 billion (22%) of those funds to assist 126,858
homeowners, spent $308.5 million (4%) for administrative expenses, and held
$719.7 million (9%) as unspent cash-on-hand.156 The remaining $1 billion has
been obligated under FHA Short Refinance to purchase a letter of credit to provide
up to $1 billion in first loss coverage and to pay $25 million in fees for the letter of
credit.157 According to Treasury, it has paid only one claim for one default on the

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

HAMP
According to Treasury, HAMP was intended “to help as many as three to four
million financially struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure by modifying loans to
a level that is affordable for borrowers now and sustainable over the long term.”159
Although HAMP contains several subprograms, the term “HAMP” is most often
used to refer to the HAMP First-Lien Modification Program, described below.

HAMP First-Lien Modification Program
The HAMP First-Lien Modification Program, which went into effect on April
6, 2009, modifies the terms of first-lien mortgages to provide borrowers with
lower monthly payments. A HAMP modification consists of two phases: a trial
modification that was originally designed to last three months, followed by a
permanent modification. Treasury continues to pay incentives for five years.160 In
designing HAMP, the Administration envisioned a “shared partnership” between
the Government and investors to bring distressed borrowers’ first lien monthly
payments down to an “affordable and sustainable” level.161 The program description
immediately below refers only to the original HAMP program, which after the
launch of HAMP Tier 2 has been renamed “HAMP Tier 1.”

Trial Modification: Under HAMP, a
period of at least three months in
which a borrower is given a chance
to establish that he or she can make
lower monthly mortgage payments and
qualify for a permanent modification.

HAMP Tier 1 Modification Statistics
As of September 30, 2013, a total of 888,394 mortgages were in active permanent
modifications under both TARP (non-GSE) and GSE HAMP. Some 44,876 were
in active trial modifications. As of September 30, 2013, for borrowers receiving
permanent modifications, 95.9% received an interest rate reduction, 63.2%
received a term extension, 33.5% received principal forbearance, and 15.3%
received principal forgiveness.162 HAMP modification activity, broken out by TARP
and GSE loans, is shown in Table 2.8. For more detail on redefaulted modifications
over the life of HAMP, see Table 2.9 and Figure 2.3. For more detail on HAMP
modification activity, broken out by TARP and GSE loans, see Table F.1 in
Appendix F.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Homeowners Who Have Redefaulted on HAMP Permanent
Modifications or Are at Risk of Redefaultingiii
As of September 30, 2013, HAMP has helped more than 888,000 homeowners
avoid foreclosure through permanent mortgage modifications, but 337,854
homeowners (or 27%) fell three months behind in payments and, thus, redefaulted
out of the program–often into a less advantageous private sector modification
or even worse, into foreclosure.163 This percentage (cumulative redefault rate)
includes all homeowners who received HAMP modifications since the start of the
program. As of September 30, 2013, taxpayers lost over $972 million in TARP
funds paid to servicers and investors as incentives for 184,023 homeowners
who received TARP (non-GSE) HAMP permanent modifications and later
redefaulted.164 Also, as of August 31, 2013, the latest data available, 92,361
(more than 10% of active HAMP permanent modifications) had missed one to
two monthly mortgage payments and, thus, are at risk of redefaulting out of the
program.165
The longer a homeowner remains in HAMP, the more likely he or she is
to redefault out of the program, with homeowners redefaulting on the oldest
HAMP permanent modifications at a rate of 48.3%.iv As of August 31, 2013, the
latest data provided by Treasury, redefault rates of HAMP permanent mortgage
modifications that had been started in each year, since 2009, continued to increase
as the modifications age. Nearly half of all homeowners who received a HAMP
permanent modification received it in 2009 and 2010.166 As of August 31, 2013,
the latest data provided by Treasury, homeowners who received HAMP permanent
modifications in 2009 redefaulted at rates ranging from 42.8% to 48.3%.167 As of
August 31, 2013, the latest data provided by Treasury, homeowners who received
HAMP permanent modifications in 2010 redefaulted at rates ranging from 32.6%
to 40.5%.168
Homeowners who redefaulted fell out of the HAMP program, and their HAMP
permanent modification was not sustainable. Once again, they risked losing
their homes and some may have lost their homes. Treasury reported that of the
homeowners with redefaulted loans reported by the eight largest servicers, as of
August 31, 2013, the latest data available, 32% of homeowners who redefaulted
received an alternative modification, usually a private sector modification, 22%
of homeowners moved into the foreclosure process, and 13% of homeowners lost
their home via a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.169
Since HAMP’s inception in 2009, the cumulative redefault rate for
homeowners who received permanent modifications has risen each year—from 1%
at the end of 2009 to 27% in the first nine months of 2013.170 Table 2.9 provides
detail on the annual and cumulative number and percentage of homeowners who
received HAMP permanent modifications and have redefaulted over the life of
HAMP. Figure 2.3 provides detail on the status (active and redefaulted) over time
of homeowners’ HAMP permanent modifications by the year they originated.
iii In this section, “HAMP” refers to the original HAMP First-Lien Modification Program, which Treasury later named HAMP Tier 1.
iv T
 reasury’s calculation of redefault rates may exclude some modifications due to missing or invalid data.

For more on homeowners who have
redefaulted on HAMP permanent
mortgages or are at risk of defaulting, see
SIGTARP’s July 2013 Quarterly Report,
pages 161-184.

Cumulative Redefault Rate: The
total number of HAMP permanent
modifications that have redefaulted
(as of a specific date) divided by the
total number of HAMP permanent
modifications started (as of the same
specific date).

Redefaults: Impact on Taxpayers Funding TARP

Taxpayers have lost over $972 million in TARP funds paid to servicers and
investors as incentives for 184,023 homeowners’ non-GSE, HAMP (Tier 1)
permanent mortgage modifications that redefaulted.173 As of September 30, 2013,
Treasury has distributed $5.3 billion in TARP funds for 645,571 homeowners’
HAMP permanent modifications.174 According to Treasury, $2.7 billion of that
was designated for investor incentives, $1.6 billion for servicer incentives, and
$935.9 million for homeowner incentives.175 (Homeowner incentives are paid to
servicers that, in turn, apply the payment to a homeowner’s mortgage). According
to Treasury, 18% of those funds were paid for incentives on homeowners’ HAMP
permanent modifications that later redefaulted.176
More than half of TARP funds that Treasury spent for HAMP permanent
modifications that redefaulted were for mortgages currently serviced by three
servicers, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, NA, and Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A. (listed in Table 2.11).177,v Almost all (91%) of TARP funds
Treasury spent for HAMP permanent modifications that redefaulted were for
mortgages currently serviced by 10 servicers (listed in Table 2.11).178 Table 2.11
shows payments for homeowners’ HAMP permanent modifications (active,
redefaulted, and paid off mortgages) that are currently within servicers’ portfolios.

v Total incentive payments by the current status of the permanent modification (active, redefaulted, or paid off) is broken out in the table
by the current servicer of the loan. The incentive payment totals may not tie to the actual amount paid to the servicer as servicing
transfers are not taken into account when the current servicer on the loan is used.

Redefaults: Impact on States

Homeowners are redefaulting throughout the nation. While the cumulative
number of homeowners’ HAMP permanent modifications in certain states may not
be high, some states with a relatively small number of modifications have redefault
rates of 30% or more.179 For example, only 4,768 homeowners from Mississippi
received HAMP permanent modifications, but these homeowners have redefaulted
at a rate of 36%. Meanwhile, some states with the highest number of homeowners
who have redefaulted have the lowest redefault rates. For example, California,
which has the most homeowners in permanent modifications, has the highest
number of homeowners who redefaulted on HAMP permanent modifications,
62,660, but has one of the lowest redefault rates, 21%. (Only Guam, Puerto Rico,
and the Virgin Islands have lower rates.) Florida, Illinois, and Arizona have the next
highest number of homeowners who redefaulted, at 41,881, 19,762, and 15,262,
respectively. After Mississippi, in Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, and Delaware,
homeowners have redefaulted at a rate of 34%. Tables 2.12-2.18 and Figure 2.4
show regional and state breakdowns of the number of homeowners with HAMP
permanent modifications, the number of homeowners with active permanent
modifications, the number who have redefaulted on modifications, and the
redefault rates.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Starting a HAMP Tier 1 Modification
Borrowers may request participation in HAMP.180 Borrowers who have missed two
or more payments must be solicited for participation by their servicers.181 Before
offering the borrower a trial modification, also known as a trial period plan (“TPP”),
the servicer must verify the accuracy of the borrower’s income and other eligibility
criteria. In order to verify the borrower’s eligibility for a modification under the
program, borrowers must submit the following documents as part of an “initial
package.”182
• an MHA “request for mortgage assistance” (“RMA”) form, which provides the
servicer with the borrower’s financial information, including the cause of the
borrower’s hardship;
• signed and completed requests for Federal tax return transcripts or the most
recent Federal income tax return, including all schedules and forms;
• income verification documentation, such as recent pay stubs or evidence of
other sources of income; and
• Dodd-Frank certification (either as part of the RMA form or as a standalone
document) that the borrower has not been convicted in the past 10 years of any
of the following in connection with a mortgage or real estate transaction: felony
larceny, theft, fraud, or forgery; money laundering, or tax evasion.
For more information on the RMA
form and what constitutes hardship,
see SIGTARP’s April 2011 Quarterly
Report, page 62.
For more information on the Verification
Policy, see SIGTARP’s April 2011
Quarterly Report, page 63.
For more about the HAMP NPV test,
see the June 18, 2012, SIGTARP audit
report “The NPV Test’s Impact on
HAMP.”

In order for a loan to be eligible for a HAMP modification, the borrower’s initial
package, consisting of the four documents described above, must be submitted by
the borrower on or before December 31, 2015. Additionally, in order to be eligible
for incentive payments, the permanent modification must be effective on or before
September, 2016.183
Participating servicers verify monthly gross income for the borrower and the
borrower’s household, as well as other eligibility criteria.184 Then, in the case of
HAMP Tier 1, the servicer follows the “waterfall” of modification steps prescribed
by HAMP guidelines to calculate the reduction in the borrower’s monthly mortgage
payment needed to achieve a 31% debt-to-income (“DTI”) ratio, that is, a payment
equal to 31% of his or her monthly gross income.185
In the first step, the servicer capitalizes any unpaid interest and fees (i.e., adds
them to the outstanding principal balance). Second, the servicer reduces the
interest rate in incremental steps to as low as 2%. If the 31% DTI ratio threshold
still has not been reached, in the third step the servicer extends the term of the
mortgage to a maximum of 40 years from the modification date. If these steps are
still insufficient to reach the 31% threshold, the servicer may forbear principal
(defer its due date), subject to certain limits.186 The forbearance amount is not
interest bearing and results in a lump-sum payment due upon the earliest of the
sale date of the property, the payoff date of the interest-bearing mortgage balance,
or the maturity date of the mortgage.187
Servicers are not required to forgive principal under HAMP. However, servicers
may forgive principal in order to lower the borrower’s monthly payment to achieve

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

the HAMP Tier 1 DTI ratio goal of 31% on a stand-alone basis, at any point in the
HAMP waterfall described above, or as part of PRA.188
After completing these modification calculations, all loans that meet HAMP
eligibility criteria and are either deemed generally to be in imminent default or
delinquent by two or more payments must be evaluated using a standardized net
present value (“NPV”) test that compares the NPV result for a modification to
the NPV result for no modification.189 The NPV test compares the expected cash
flow from a modified loan with the expected cash flow from the same loan with
no modifications to determine which option will be more valuable to the mortgage
investor. A positive NPV test result indicates that a modified loan is more valuable
to the investor than the existing loan. In that case, under HAMP rules, the servicer
must offer the borrower a mortgage modification. If the test generates a negative
result, modification is optional.190 Servicers cannot refuse to evaluate a borrower
for a modification simply because the outstanding loan currently has a low loan-tovalue (“LTV”) ratio, meaning the borrower owes less than the value of the home.
The lower the LTV ratio is, the higher the probability that a foreclosure will be
more profitable to an investor than a modification.
Since September 1, 2011, most of the largest mortgage servicers participating
in MHA have been required to assign a single point of contact to borrowers
potentially eligible for evaluation under HAMP, HAFA, or UP.191 The single point of
contact has the primary responsibility for communicating with the borrower about
options to avoid foreclosure, his/her status in the process, coordination of receipt of
documents, and coordination with other servicer personnel to promote compliance
with MHA timelines and requirements throughout the entire delinquency,
imminent default resolution process, or foreclosure.192

How HAMP Tier 1 First-Lien Modifications Work
Treasury originally intended that HAMP trial modifications would last three
months. Historically, many trial modifications have lasted longer. According to
Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, of a combined total of 44,876 active trials
under both GSE and TARP (non-GSE) HAMP, 8,310 (19%) had lasted more than
six months.193
Borrowers in trial modifications may qualify for conversion to a permanent
modification as long as they make the required modified payments on time and
provide proper documentation, including a signed modification agreement.194 The
terms of permanent modifications under HAMP Tier 1 remain fixed for at least five
years.195 After five years, the loan’s interest rate can increase if the modified interest
rate had been reduced below the 30-year conforming fixed interest rate on the date
of the initial modification. The interest rate can rise incrementally by up to 1%
per year until it reaches that rate.196 Otherwise, the modified interest rate remains
permanent.
If the borrower misses a payment during the trial or is denied a permanent
modification for any other reason, the borrower is, in effect, left with the original
terms of the mortgage. The borrower is responsible for the difference between
the original mortgage payment amount and the reduced trial payments that were

Net Present Value (“NPV”) Test:
Compares the money generated by
modifying the terms of the mortgage
with the amount an investor can
reasonably expect to recover in a
foreclosure sale.
Loan-to-Value (“LTV”) Ratio: Lending
risk assessment ratio that mortgage
lenders examine before approving a
mortgage; calculated by dividing the
outstanding amount of the loan by
the value of the collateral backing the
loan. Loans with high LTV ratios are
generally seen as higher risk because
the borrower has less of an equity
stake in the property.

made during the trial. In addition, the borrower may be liable for late fees that were
generated during the trial. In other words, a borrower can be assessed late fees
for failing to make the original pre-modification scheduled payments during the
trial period, even though under the trial modification the borrower is not required
to make these payments. Late fees are waived only for borrowers who receive a
permanent modification.197
What Happens When a HAMP Modification Is Denied: Servicer Obligations and
Borrower Rights

For more information on HAMP
servicer obligations and borrower rights,
see SIGTARP’s April 2011 Quarterly
Report, pages 67-76.

Treasury has issued guidance governing both the obligations of servicers and the
rights of borrowers in connection with the denial of loan modification requests.
Borrowers must receive a Non-Approval Notice if they are rejected for a HAMP
modification. A borrower who is not approved for HAMP Tier 1 is automatically
considered for HAMP Tier 2. If the servicer offers the borrower a HAMP Tier 2
trial, no Non-Approval Notice would be issued on the HAMP Tier 1. The NonApproval Notice is sent only if the HAMP Tier 2 is not offered. Borrowers can
request reconsideration or re-evaluation if they believe one or more NPV analysis
inputs is incorrect or if they experience a change in circumstance. Servicers are
obligated to have written procedures and personnel in place to respond to borrower
inquiries and disputes that constitute “escalated cases” in a timely manner.198
Treasury’s web-based NPV calculator at www.CheckMyNPV.com can be
used by borrowers prior to applying for a HAMP modification or after a denial
of a HAMP modification. Borrowers can enter the NPV input values listed in
the HAMP Non-Approval Notice received from their servicer, or substitute with
estimated NPV input values, to compare the estimated outcome provided by
CheckMyNPV.com against that on the Non-Approval Notice.
Modification Incentives

For new HAMP trials on or after October 1, 2011, Treasury changed the onetime flat $1,000 incentive payment to a sliding scale based on the length of time
the loan was delinquent as of the effective date of the TPP. For loans less than or
equal to 120 days delinquent, servicers receive $1,600.199 For loans 121-210 days
delinquent, servicers receive $1,200. For loans more than 210 days delinquent,
servicers receive only $400. Starting on March 1, 2014, incentive payments for
servicers are scheduled to increase by $400.200 For borrowers whose monthly
mortgage payment was reduced through HAMP by 6% or more, servicers also
receive incentive payments of up to $1,000 annually for three years if the borrower
remains in good standing (defined as less than three full monthly payments
delinquent).201
For HAMP Tier 1, borrowers whose monthly mortgage payment is reduced
through HAMP by 6% or more and who make monthly payments on time earn
an annual principal reduction of up to $1,000.202 The principal reduction accrues
monthly and is payable for each of the first five years as long as the borrower
remains in good standing.203 Under both HAMP Tier 1 and HAMP Tier 2, the

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

investor is entitled to five years of incentives that make up part of the difference
between the borrower’s new monthly payment and the old one.
As of September 30, 2013, of the $29.9 billion in TARP funds allocated to
the 91 servicers participating in MHA, approximately 91% was allocated to the 10
largest servicers.204 Table 2.19 shows incentive payments made to these servicers.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

MHA Outreach and Borrower Intake Project
On February 14, 2013, Treasury entered into an agreement with the
Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation, also called NeighborWorks America
(“NeighborWorks”), to launch a nationwide MHA initiative with housing
counselors “in an effort to increase the number of homeowners that successfully
request assistance under MHA.”205 NeighborWorks is a Congressionally chartered
corporation that through a national network of non-profit organizations administers
housing programs, including housing counseling.206 The initiative, called the
MHA Outreach and Borrower Intake Project, will pay $450 to housing counseling
agencies for each homeowner they worked with to submit complete applications
for HAMP to servicers.207 Treasury allocated $18.3 million in TARP funds for the
project.208 As of September 30, 2013, housing counselors have initiated HAMP
application work for 2,647 homeowners, of whom 758 have had their completed
applications submitted to an MHA servicer and accepted by that MHA servicer,
whether or not the borrower eventually receives a mortgage modification.209
According to Treasury, housing counseling agencies are due $341,000 for those
accepted applications.210 NeighborWorks has, as of September 30, 2013, requested
$3.3 million in total funds, mostly for outreach, oversight, and administration, as
well as for the counseling agency payments.211
HAMP Tier 2
Effective June 1, 2012, HAMP Tier 2 expanded HAMP.212 As in HAMP Tier 1,
HAMP Tier 2 permits HAMP modifications on mortgages of owner-occupied
properties, but unlike HAMP Tier 1, HAMP Tier 2 also permits HAMP
modifications on mortgages of non-owner-occupied “rental” properties that are
tenant-occupied or vacant.213 Under the original HAMP (now HAMP Tier 1),
mortgage modifications for “rental” properties had been expressly excluded; HAMP
Tier 2 also allows borrowers with a wider range of debt-to-income situations to
receive modifications.214 Treasury’s stated policy objectives for HAMP Tier 2
are that it “will provide critical relief to both renters and those who rent their
homes, while further stabilizing communities from the blight of vacant and
foreclosed properties.”215 A borrower may have up to five loans with HAMP Tier 2
modifications, as well as a single HAMP Tier 1 modification on the mortgage for
his or her primary residence.216 If a borrower loses “good standing” on a HAMP
Tier 1 modification and it has either been at least one year since the effective date
of that modification or there has been a “change in circumstance,” he or she is
eligible for a HAMP Tier 2 remodification.217 Approximately 3,537 of HAMP Tier 2
modifications started were previously HAMP Tier 1 permanent modifications.218
According to Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, a total of 62 of the 91
servicers with active MHA servicer agreements had fully implemented HAMP Tier
2.219 The remaining 29 of those servicers will not implement HAMP Tier 2 because
they are in the process of terminating their servicer participation agreement, they
have gone out of business, their servicer participation agreement was signed to
participate only in FHA-HAMP, RD-HAMP, or FHA-2LP, or they are winding
down their non-GSE servicing operations.220 All 10 of the largest servicers have

reported that they had implemented HAMP Tier 2.221 According to Treasury, as
of September 30, 2013, it had paid $24 million in incentives in connection with
21,522 HAMP Tier 2 permanent modifications, 20,826 of which remain active.222
According to Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, of the 38,018 HAMP Tier
2 trial mortgage modifications started, 35,263 (93%), were for owner-occupied
properties; 2,415 (6%), were for tenant-occupied properties, and 340 (1%) were for
vacant properties.223 Of owner-occupied properties that received a HAMP Tier 2
trial modification, 14,032 trial modifications (40%) were active and 19,769 (56%)
were converted to permanent modifications, of which 19,129 (97%) were active.224
Of owner-occupied properties that received a HAMP Tier 2 trial modification,
1,462 (4%) were cancelled, and of those that received a permanent modification,
601 (3%) redefaulted.225 Nearly all (94%) tenant-occupied properties that received
either a trial or permanent HAMP Tier 2 mortgage modification have remained
active, as of September 30, 2013.226 Of vacant properties that received a HAMP
Tier 2 trial modification, 119 (35%) were in active trial modifications, 192 (56%)
were in active permanent modifications, and 22 (6%) had their trial modifications
cancelled.227 HAMP Tier 2 mortgage modification activity and property occupancy

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

HAMP Tier 2 Eligibility

HAMP Tier 2 expands the eligibility criteria related to a borrower’s debt-to-income
ratio and also allows modifications on loans secured by “rental” properties. Owneroccupied loans that are ineligible for a HAMP Tier 1 modification due to excessive
forbearance or negative NPV are also eligible for Tier 2. Vacant rental properties
are permitted in the program, as are those occupied by legal dependents, parents,
or grandparents, even if no rent is charged. The program is not, however, according
to Treasury, intended for vacation homes, second homes, or properties that are
rented only seasonally. Additionally, loans on rental properties must be at least two
payments delinquent – those in imminent default are not eligible.229
However, Treasury does not require that the property be rented. Treasury
requires only that a borrower certify intent to rent the property to a tenant on a
year-round basis for at least five years, or make “reasonable efforts” to do so; and
does not intend to use the property as a second residence for at least five years.230
According to Treasury, servicers are not typically required to obtain third-party
verifications of the borrower’s rental property certification when evaluating a
borrower for HAMP.231
To be considered for HAMP Tier 2, borrowers must satisfy several basic HAMP
requirements: the loan origination date must be on or before January 1, 2009;
the borrower must have a documented hardship; the property must conform to
the MHA definition of a “single-family residence” (1-4 dwelling units, including
condominiums, co-ops, and manufactured housing); the property must not be
condemned; and the loan must fall within HAMP’s unpaid principal balance
limitations.232 If a borrower satisfies these requirements, and in addition, the
loan has never been previously modified under HAMP (except for the exceptions
discussed above), the servicer is required to solicit the borrower for HAMP Tier 2.
In certain other cases, the borrower may still be eligible for HAMP Tier 2, but the
servicer is not required to solicit the borrower.233
How HAMP Tier 2 Modifications Work

As with HAMP Tier 1, HAMP Tier 2 evaluates borrowers using an NPV test that
considers the value of the loan to the investor before and after a modification.
Owner-occupant borrowers are evaluated for both HAMP Tier 1 and Tier 2 in a
single process. If a borrower is eligible for both modifications, he or she will receive
a HAMP Tier 1 modification.234
As discussed above, HAMP Tier 1 modifications are structured using a waterfall
of incremental steps that may stop as soon as the 31% post-modification DTI ratio
target is reached. In HAMP Tier 2, the proposed permanent modification must
meet two affordability requirements: (1) a post-modification DTI ratio of not less
than 25% or greater than 42% and (2) a reduction of the monthly principal and
interest payment by at least 10%. The post-modification DTI ratio range increased
in February 2013 to not less than 10% or greater than 55%. If the borrower was
previously in a HAMP Tier 1 modification (either trial or permanent), then the new
payment must be at least 10% below the previously modified payment. Because

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

HAMP Tier 2 does not target a specific DTI ratio, the HAMP Tier 2 waterfall is not
a series of incremental steps, but a consistent set of actions that are applied to the
loan. After these actions are applied, if the result of the NPV test is positive and the
modification also achieves the DTI and payment reduction goals, the servicer must
offer the borrower a HAMP Tier 2 modification. If the result of the HAMP Tier 2
NPV test is negative, modification is optional.235
As in the HAMP Tier 1 waterfall, the first step in structuring a HAMP Tier 2
modification is to capitalize any unpaid interest and fees. The second step changes
the interest rate to the “Tier 2 rate,” which is the current Freddie Mac Primary
Mortgage Market Survey rate plus a 0.5% risk adjustment. The third step extends
the term of the loan by up to 40 years from the modification effective date. Finally,
if the loan’s pre-modification mark-to-market LTV ratio is greater than 115%, the
servicer forbears principal in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) an amount that
would create a post-modification LTV ratio of 115%, or (2) an amount equal to
30% of the post-modification principal balance. Unlike HAMP Tier 1, there is no
excessive forbearance limit in HAMP Tier 2. The HAMP Tier 2 guidelines also
include several exceptions to this waterfall to allow for investor restrictions on
certain types of modifications.236
The HAMP Tier 2 NPV model also evaluates the loan using an “alternative
modification waterfall” in addition to the one described here. This waterfall uses
principal reduction instead of forbearance. However, as in HAMP Tier 1, principal
reduction is optional. Servicers may also reduce principal on HAMP Tier 2
modifications using PRA.237
HAMP Tier 2 incentives are the same as those for HAMP Tier 1, with some
exceptions, notably that HAMP Tier 2 modifications do not pay annual borrower or
servicer incentives.238

Home Price Decline Protection (“HPDP”)
HPDP provides investors with incentives for modifications of loans on properties
located in areas where home prices have recently declined and where investors are
concerned that price declines may persist. HPDP incentive payments are linked
to the rate of recent home price decline in a local housing market, as well as the
unpaid principal balance and mark-to-market LTV ratio of the mortgage loan.239
HPDP is intended to address the fears of investors who may withhold their
consent to loan modifications because of potential future declines in the value of
the homes that secure the mortgages, should the modification fail and the loan go
into foreclosure.240
Under HPDP, Treasury has published a standard formula, based on the
principal balance of the mortgage, the recent decline in area home prices during
the six months before the start of the HAMP modification, and the LTV ratio, that
will determine the size of the incentive payment.241 The HPDP incentive payments
accrue monthly over a 24-month period and are paid annually on the first and
second anniversaries of the initial HAMP trial period. Accruals are discontinued
if the borrower loses good standing under HAMP because he or she is delinquent
by three mortgage payments. As of September 30, 2013, according to Treasury,

93

94

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

approximately $335.8 million in TARP funds had been paid for incentives on
210,505 (Tier 1 and Tier 2) loan modifications under HPDP.242

Principal Reduction Alternative (“PRA”)
PRA is intended to encourage principal reduction in HAMP loan modifications for
underwater borrowers by providing mortgage investors with incentive payments
in exchange for lowering the borrower’s principal balance. PRA is an alternative
method to the standard HAMP modification waterfall for structuring a HAMP
modification. Although servicers are required to evaluate every non-GSE HAMPeligible borrower with an LTV of 115% or greater for PRA, whether to actually offer
principal reduction or not is up to the servicer.243
Because the GSEs, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, have refused to participate in
PRA, the program applies only to loans modified under TARP-funded HAMP.244
As of September 30, 2013, there were 104,771 active permanent modifications
in PRA.245 According to Treasury, 85% of borrowers who received PRA
modifications were seriously delinquent on their mortgages at the start of the trial
modification.246
As of September 30, 2013, PRA borrowers had a pre-modification median LTV
ratio of 152%.247 After modification, however, PRA borrowers lowered their LTVs
to a median ratio of 115%. As of September 30, 2013, the latest data provided by
Treasury, PRA modifications reduced principal balances by a median amount of
$72,686 or 32%, thereby lowering the LTV ratio.248
As of September 30, 2013, servicers had started 150,532 PRA trial
modifications, of which 14,626 were still active trials, 124,093 had converted to
permanent modifications, and 11,813 (or 8%) were subsequently cancelled or
disqualified from the program.249 Of the PRA trials that converted to permanent
modifications, 104,771 were still active as of September 30, 2013, and 18,807 (or
15%) redefaulted.250
Who Is Eligible

Borrowers who meet all HAMP eligibility requirements and who owe more than
115% of their home’s market value (LTV >115%) are eligible for PRA.251 The
principal balance used in this LTV calculation includes any amounts that would
be capitalized under a HAMP modification.252 Eligible borrowers are evaluated by
running NPV tests. There are standard and alternative NPV tests for HAMP Tier
1 and HAMP Tier 2. If the standard waterfall produces a positive NPV result, the
servicer must offer a HAMP modification (with or without principal reduction).
If the PRA waterfall using principal reduction produces a positive NPV result,
the servicer may, but is not required to, offer a modification using principal
reduction.253
How PRA Works

For HAMP Tier 1, the PRA waterfall uses principal forbearance (which later
becomes principal reduction) prior to interest rate reduction as the second step
in structuring the modification. Under PRA, the servicer determines the modified

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

95

mortgage payment by first capitalizing unpaid interest and fees as in a standard
HAMP modification. After capitalization, the servicer reduces the loan balance
through principal forbearance until either a DTI ratio of 31% or an LTV ratio of
115% is achieved. No interest will be collected on the forborne amount. If an LTV
ratio of 105% to 115% is achieved first, the servicer then applies the remaining
HAMP waterfall steps (interest rate reduction, term extension, forbearance) until
the 31% DTI ratio is reached. If the principal balance has been reduced by more
than 5%, the servicer is allowed additional flexibility in implementing the remaining
waterfall steps. Principal reduction is not immediate; it is earned over three years.
On each of the first three anniversaries of the modification, one-third of the
PRA forborne principal is forgiven. Therefore, after three years the borrower’s
principal balance is permanently reduced by the amount that was placed in PRA
forbearance.254
Who Gets Paid

For PRA trials effective on or after March 1, 2012, the mortgage investors earn
an incentive of $0.18 to $0.63 per dollar of principal reduced, depending on
delinquency status of the loan and the level to which the outstanding LTV ratio was
reduced.255 For loans that are more than six months delinquent, investors receive
only $0.18 per dollar of principal reduction, regardless of LTV.256 The incentive
schedule in Table 2.21 applies only to loans that have been six months delinquent
or less within the previous year.
Under certain conditions an investor may enter into an agreement with the
borrower to share any future increase in the value of the property.257
According to Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, Treasury had paid a total of
$405.1 million in PRA incentives.258

Home Affordable Unemployment Program (“UP”)
UP, which was announced on March 26, 2010, provides temporary assistance to
unemployed borrowers.259 Under the program, unemployed borrowers who meet
certain qualifications can receive forbearance for a portion of their mortgage
payments. Originally, the forbearance period was a minimum of three months,
unless the borrower found work during this time. However, on July 7, 2011, after a
SIGTARP recommendation to extend the term, Treasury announced that it would
increase the minimum UP forbearance period from three months to 12 months. As
of August 31, 2013, which according to Treasury is the latest data available, 5,739
borrowers were actively participating in UP.260
Who Is Eligible

Borrowers who are approved to receive unemployment benefits and who also
request assistance under HAMP must be evaluated by servicers for an UP
forbearance plan and, if eligible, offered one. As of June 1, 2012, a servicer may
consider a borrower for UP whose loan is secured by a vacant or tenant-occupied
property and still must consider owner-occupied properties. The servicer must
consider a borrower for UP regardless of the borrower’s monthly mortgage payment

ratio and regardless of whether the borrower had a payment default on a HAMP
trial plan or lost good standing under a permanent HAMP modification. Servicers
are not required to offer an UP forbearance plan to borrowers who are more than
12 months delinquent at the time of the UP request.261 Alternatively, the servicers
may evaluate unemployed borrowers for HAMP and offer a HAMP trial period plan
instead of an UP forbearance plan if, in the servicer’s business judgment, HAMP is
the better loss mitigation option. If an unemployed borrower is offered a trial period
plan but requests UP forbearance instead, the servicer may then offer UP, but is
not required to do so.262
Eligible borrowers may request a HAMP trial period plan after the UP
forbearance plan is completed. If an unemployed borrower in bankruptcy
proceedings requests consideration for HAMP, the servicer must first evaluate the
borrower for UP, subject to any required bankruptcy court approvals.263 A borrower
who has been determined to be ineligible for HAMP may request assessment for
an UP forbearance plan if he or she meets all the eligibility criteria.264 If a borrower
who is eligible for UP declines an offer for an UP forbearance plan, the servicer is
not required to offer the borrower a modification under HAMP or 2MP while the
borrower remains eligible for an UP forbearance plan.265
How UP Works

For qualifying homeowners, the mortgage payments during the forbearance
period are lowered to no more than 31% of monthly gross income, which includes
unemployment benefits.266 If the borrower regains employment, but because of
reduced income still has a hardship, the borrower must be considered for HAMP.
If the borrower is eligible, any payments missed prior to and during the period of
the UP forbearance plan are capitalized as part of the normal HAMP modification
process.267 If the UP forbearance period expires and the borrower is ineligible for
HAMP, the borrower may be eligible for MHA foreclosure alternatives, such as
HAFA.268

Deficiency Judgment: Court order
authorizing a lender to collect all or
part of an unpaid and outstanding debt
resulting from the borrower’s default
on the mortgage note securing a debt.
A deficiency judgment is rendered
after the foreclosed or repossessed
property is sold when the proceeds are
insufficient to repay the full mortgage
debt.

Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (“HAFA”)
HAFA provides $4.2 billion in incentives to servicers, borrowers, and subordinate
lien holders to encourage a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure as an
alternative to foreclosure.269 Under HAFA, the servicer forfeits the ability to pursue
a deficiency judgment against a borrower when the proceeds from the short sale
or deed-in-lieu are less than the outstanding amount on the mortgage.270 HAFA
incentives include a $3,000 relocation incentive payment to borrowers or tenants,
a $1,500 incentive payment to servicers, and incentive payments to subordinate
mortgage lien holders of up to $2,000 in exchange for a release of the lien and the
borrower’s liability.271 The program was announced on November 30, 2009.272
Treasury allows each servicer participating in HAFA to determine its own
policies for borrower eligibility and many other aspects of how it operates the
program, but requires the servicers to post criteria and program rules on their
websites. According to Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, all but three have
complied with this requirement.273 Servicers must notify eligible borrowers in

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

writing about the availability of the HAFA program and allow the borrower a
minimum of 14 calendar days to apply.274 Servicers are not required by Treasury to
verify a borrower’s financial information or determine whether the borrower’s total
monthly payment exceeds 31% of his or her monthly gross income.275
Effective March 9, 2012, Treasury no longer required properties in HAFA to
be occupied, allowing vacant properties to enter the program. However, relocation
incentives will be paid only on occupied properties.276
As of September 30, 2013, approximately $672.6 million from TARP had
been paid to investors, borrowers, and servicers under HAFA.277 As of August 31,
2013, the latest data provided by Treasury, 135,112 short sales or deeds-in-lieu of
foreclosure transfers were completed under HAFA.278 As of August 31, 2013, the
latest data provided by Treasury, Treasury reported that the eight largest servicers
alone had completed 312,478 short sales and deeds-in-lieu outside HAMP for
borrowers whose HAMP trial modifications had failed, borrowers who had chosen
not to participate, or were ineligible for the program.279 The greater volume
of activity outside HAFA may be explained, in part, by the fees and deficiency
judgments that servicers are able to collect from the borrower in non-HAFA
transactions, which are not available within HAFA.

incentives and borrower requirements

Report, pages 70-71.

Second-Lien Modification Program (“2MP”)
According to Treasury, 2MP, which was announced on August 13, 2009, is
designed to provide modifications to the loans of borrowers with second mortgages
of at least $5,000 with monthly payments of at least $100 that are serviced by
a participating 2MP servicer, or full extinguishment of second mortgages below
those thresholds. When a borrower’s first lien is modified under HAMP and the
servicer of the second lien is a 2MP participant, that servicer must offer to modify
or may extinguish the borrower’s second lien. Treasury pays the servicer a lump
sum for full extinguishment of the second-lien principal or in exchange for a partial
extinguishment (principal reduction) and modification of the remainder of the
second lien.280 Second-lien servicers are not required to verify any of the borrower’s
financial information and do not perform a separate NPV analysis.281
There is no minimum principal balance for a full extinguishment of a second
lien under 2MP. For a second-lien modification under 2MP, the servicer first
capitalizes any accrued interest and servicing advances, then reduces the interest
rate to 1% to 2% for the first five years. After the five-year period, the rate increases
to match the rate on the HAMP-modified first lien. When modifying the second
lien, the servicer must, at a minimum, extend the term to match the term of the
first lien, but can also extend the term up to a maximum of 40 years. To the extent
that there is forbearance or principal reduction for the modified first lien, the
second-lien holder must forbear or forgive at least the same percentage on the
second lien.282
According to Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, 136,678 HAMP
modifications had second liens that were eligible for 2MP.283 As of September
30, 2013, there were 76,935 active permanent modifications of second

Servicing Advances: If borrowers’
payments are not made promptly
and in full, servicers are contractually
obligated to advance the required
monthly payment amount in full to the
investor. Once a borrower becomes
current or the property is sold or
acquired through foreclosure, the
servicer is repaid all advanced funds.

liens.284 New 2MP modifications sharply peaked in March 2011 and have been
generally declining since then. Most of the activity under the program has been
modifications to the terms of the second liens. As of September 30, 2013, median
principal reduction was $9,940 for partial extinguishments of second liens and
$61,045 for full extinguishments of second liens.285 According to Treasury, as of
September 30, 2013, approximately $431 million in TARP funds had been paid
to servicers and investors under 2MP.286 As of September 30, 2013, there were
160,620 second-lien full and partial extinguishments and modifications under
2MP.287
The servicer receives a $500 incentive payment upon modification of a second
lien and is eligible for further incentives if certain conditions are met. The borrower
is eligible for an annual principal reduction payment of up to $250 per year for
up to five years.288 Investors receive modification incentive payments equal to an
annualized amount of 1.6% of the unmodified principal balance, paid on a monthly
basis for up to five years.289 In addition, investors also receive incentives for fully
or partially extinguishing the second lien on 2MP modifications. The current
incentive schedule for loans six months delinquent or less is shown in Table 2.22.
For loans that have been more than six months delinquent within the previous 12
months, investors are paid $0.12 for each dollar of principal reduced.290

Agency-Insured Loan Programs (FHA-HAMP, RD-HAMP, and
VA-HAMP)
Some mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration
(“FHA”), Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), or the U.S. Department of
Agriculture Rural Development (“RD”) are eligible for modification under
programs similar to HAMP Tier 1 that reduce borrowers’ monthly mortgage
payments to 31% of their monthly gross income. Borrowers are eligible to receive
a maximum $1,000 annual incentive for five years and servicers are eligible to
receive a maximum $1,000 annual incentive from Treasury for three years on
mortgages in which the monthly payment was reduced by at least 6%.291 As of
September 30, 2013, according to Treasury, approximately $33.5 million in TARP
funds had been paid to servicers and borrowers in connection with FHA-HAMP
modifications.292 According to Treasury, only $63,833 of TARP funds has been
spent on the modifications under RD-HAMP.293 As of September 30, 2013, there
were 14,895 active permanent Treasury/FHA-HAMP modifications and 77 active
permanent modifications under RD-HAMP.294 Treasury does not provide incentive
compensation related to VA-HAMP.295

Treasury/FHA Second-Lien Program (“FHA2LP”)
FHA2LP, which was launched on September 27, 2010, provides incentives for
partial or full extinguishment of non-GSE second liens of at least $2,500 originated
on or before January 1, 2009, associated with an FHA refinance.296 Borrowers
must also meet the eligibility requirements of FHA Short Refinance. According to
Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, it had not made any incentive payments under

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

FHA2LP, and no second liens had been partially written down or extinguished.297
TARP has allocated $2.7 billion for incentive payments to (1) investors ranging
from $0.10 to $0.21 based on the LTV of pre-existing second-lien balances that are
partially or fully extinguished under FHA2LP, or they may negotiate with the firstlien holder for a portion of the new loan, and (2) servicers, in the amount of $500
for each second-lien mortgage in the program.298

FHA2LP eligibility, see SIGTARP’s April
2011 Quarterly Report, pages 85-87.

Housing Finance Agency Hardest Hit Fund (“HHF”)
On February 19, 2010, the Administration announced a housing support program
known as the Hardest Hit Fund. Under HHF, TARP dollars would fund “innovative
measures” developed by 19 state housing finance agencies and approved by
Treasury to help families in housing markets hit the hardest by the housing crisis.299
The first round of HHF allocated $1.5 billion of the amount initially allocated for
MHA initiatives. According to Treasury, these funds were designated for five states
where the average home price had decreased more than 20% from its peak. The
five states were Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, and Nevada.300 Plans to use
these funds were approved by Treasury on June 23, 2010.301
On March 29, 2010, Treasury expanded HHF to include five additional states
and increased the program’s potential funding by $600 million, bringing total
funding to $2.1 billion. The additional $600 million was designated for North
Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. Treasury indicated that
these states were selected because of their high concentrations of people living in
economically distressed areas, defined as counties in which the unemployment rate
exceeded 12%, on average, in 2009.302 Plans to use these funds were approved by
Treasury on August 3, 2010.303
On August 11, 2010, Treasury pledged a third round of HHF funding of $2
billion to states with unemployment rates at or above the national average.304
The states designated to receive funding were Alabama, California, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and
Washington, DC.305 Treasury approved third round proposals on September 23,
2010.306 On September 29, 2010, a fourth round of HHF funding of an additional
$3.5 billion was made available to existing HHF participants.307
Treasury allocated the $7.6 billion in TARP funds to 18 states and the District
of Columbia and has over time approved HHF programs in several categories:308
•
•
•
•
•

Unemployment assistance, including past-due payment assistance
Mortgage modification, including principal reduction assistance

denied and assistance provided) on a quarterly basis on its own state website.

existing programs as needed, with Treasury approval, until December 31, 2017.
According to Treasury, between June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, 10 states
have reallocated funds, modified or eliminated existing programs, or established
new HHF programs with Treasury approval, increasing the total number of HHF
programs in 18 states and Washington, DC, as of September 30, 2013, to 66, up
from 63 programs as of June 30, 2013.309
As of September 30, 2013, of the $7.6 billion in TARP funds available for HHF,
states had drawn down $2.9 billion.310 As of June 30, 2013, states had spent $1.7
billion (22%) of available funds to assist 126,858 individual homeowners, spent
$308.5 million (4%) for administrative expenses, and held $719.7 million (9%) as
unspent cash-on-hand.311,vi,vii
According to Treasury, in the quarter from March 31, 2013 to June 30,
2013, HHF had spent $333.2 million to help 16,984 homeowners.312 Each state
estimates the number of borrowers to be helped in its programs. Treasury allows
the states to change this estimate, which was as high as 546,562 in the aggregate
in March 2011.313 The aggregate of these estimates has decreased in the last two
years. This is true even from last quarter. As of March 31, 2013, the 19 states
collectively estimated helping as many as 374,795 homeowners over the life of the
program. By June 30, 2013, the collective estimate had decreased by approximately
7,505 homeowners, or 2%, bringing to as many as 367,290 the estimated number
of homeowners to be helped over the life of the program.314
As of June 30, 2013, 86.9% of the HHF assistance received by homeowners
was for unemployment assistance, including past-due payment assistance. The
remaining assistance can be broken down to 12.5% for mortgage modification,
including principal reduction assistance, 0.4% for second-lien reduction assistance,
and 0.2% for transition assistance.315 States had not spent any funds on demolition
programs as of June 30, 2013.316

FHA Short Refinance Program
On March 26, 2010, Treasury and HUD announced the FHA Short Refinance
program, which gives borrowers the option of refinancing an underwater, nonFHA-insured mortgage into an FHA-insured mortgage at 97.75% of the home’s
value. At that time, Treasury had allocated $8.1 billion to the program, but in
March 2013, because of what it characterized as low participation rates, Treasury
reduced TARP funds allocated for the FHA Short Refinance program to $1 billion
to provide loss protection to FHA through a letter of credit, plus up to $25 million
in fees for the letter of credit.317 FHA Short Refinance is voluntary for servicers.
Therefore, not all underwater borrowers who qualify may be able to participate
in the program.318 As of September 30, 2013, according to Treasury, 3,552 loans
vi According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; HFAs [states] vary as to when and how
they capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
vii States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances,
cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial payments
made.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

had been refinanced under the program.319 As of September 30, 2013, Treasury
has paid $47,840 on one claim for one default under the program. According to
Treasury, only one FHA Short Refinance loan has defaulted; however, it is possible
that more loans have defaulted but FHA has not yet evaluated the claims.320
Treasury has deposited $50 million into a reserve account for future claims.321 It
has also spent approximately $8.9 million on administrative expenses associated
with the letter of credit.322

Who Is Eligible
To be eligible for FHA Short Refinance, a homeowner must be current on the
existing first-lien mortgage or have made three successful trial period payments; be
in a negative equity position; occupy the home as a primary residence; qualify for
the new loan under standard FHA underwriting and credit score requirements; and
have an existing loan that is not insured by FHA.323 According to the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), it evaluates the credit risk of the
loans.324
How FHA Short Refinance Works
Servicers must first determine the current value of the home using a third-party
appraisal by a HUD-approved appraiser. The borrower is then reviewed for credit
risk and, if necessary, referred for a review to confirm that the borrower’s total
monthly mortgage payments on all liens after the refinance is not greater than
31% of the borrower’s monthly gross income and the borrower’s total household
debt is not greater than 50%.325 Next, the lien holders must forgive principal that is
more than 115% of the value of the home. In addition, the original first-lien lender
must forgive at least 10% of the unpaid principal balance of the first-lien loan,
in exchange for a cash payment for 97.75% of the current home value from the
proceeds of the refinance. The lender may maintain a subordinate second lien for
up to 17.25% of that value (for a total balance of 115% of the home’s value).326
If a borrower defaults, the letter of credit purchased by Treasury compensates
the investor for a first percentage of losses, up to specified amounts.327 For
mortgages originated between October 1, 2012, and May 31, 2013, the letter of
credit would cover approximately 4.38-18.85% of the unpaid principal balance at
default.328 FHA is responsible for the remaining losses on each mortgage. Funds
may be paid from the FHA Short Refinance letter of credit until the earlier of
either (1) the time that the $1 billion letter of credit is exhausted, or (2) 10 years
from the issuance of the letter of credit (October 2020), at which point FHA will
bear all of the remaining losses.329 Treasury’s letter of credit ended on June 1, 2013.
This leaves FHA solely responsible for covering any losses for mortgages originated
on or after June 1, 2013, through September 30, 2014. According to Treasury,
Treasury and FHA are in discussions about Treasury’s letter of credit covering
losses from September 30, 2014, through December 30, 2014.330

Treasury created six TARP programs through which it made capital investments
or asset guarantees in exchange for equity in participating financial institutions.
Three of the programs, the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), the Community
Development Capital Initiative (“CDCI”), and the Capital Assistance Program
(“CAP”), were open to all qualifying financial institutions. The other three, the
Systemically Significant Failing Institutions (“SSFI”) program, the Targeted
Investment Program (“TIP”), and the Asset Guarantee Program (“AGP”), were
available on a case-by-case basis to institutions that needed assistance beyond that
available through CPP. With the expiration of TARP funding authorization, no new
investments can be made through these six programs.
According to Treasury, to help improve the capital structure of some struggling
TARP recipients, Treasury has agreed to modify its investment in certain cases by
converting the preferred stock it originally received into other forms of equity, such
as common stock or mandatorily convertible preferred stock (“MCP”).331

Capital Purchase Program
Treasury’s stated goal for CPP was to invest in “healthy, viable institutions” as a
way to promote financial stability, maintain confidence in the financial system, and
enable lenders to meet the nation’s credit needs.332 CPP was a voluntary program
open by application to qualifying financial institutions, including U.S.-controlled
banks, savings associations, and certain bank and savings and loan holding
companies.333
Under CPP, Treasury used TARP funds predominantly to purchase preferred
equity interests in the financial institutions. The institutions issued Treasury
senior preferred shares that pay a 5% annual dividend for the first five years and
a 9% annual dividend thereafter. Sixty-one, or 56%, of the banks with remaining
principal investments in CPP as of September 30, 2013, will experience the rate
hike to 9% between November 2013 and February 2014; the remaining banks will
see their rates increase by the end of 2014.334 In addition to the senior preferred
shares, publicly traded institutions issued Treasury warrants to purchase common
stock with an aggregate market price equal to 15% of the senior preferred share
investment.335 Privately held institutions issued Treasury warrants to purchase
additional senior preferred stock worth 5% of Treasury’s initial preferred stock
investment.336 In total, Treasury invested $204.9 billion of TARP funds in 707
institutions through CPP.337 According to Treasury, through CPP, in total Treasury
purchased $204.9 billion in preferred stock and subordinated debentures from 707
institutions in 48 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Status of Funds
As of September 30, 2013, 139 of those 707 institutions remained in CPP; in 31 of
them, Treasury holds only warrants to purchase stock. Treasury does not consider
these 31 institutions to be in TARP, however Treasury applies all proceeds from
the sale of warrants in these banks to recovery amounts in TARP’s CPP program.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

As of September 30, 2013, 108 of the 139 institutions had outstanding principal
investments. Taxpayers were still owed $7 billion.338 According to Treasury, it had
write-offs, realized losses, and investments currently not collectible as a result
of bankruptcy of $4.6 billion in the program, leaving $2.4 billion in TARP funds
outstanding. Included as investments currently not collectible are those in 24 CPP
banks, or their subsidiary banks, with total CPP investments of $770.7 million that
are in the process of bankruptcy. While Treasury has not yet realized those losses,
it expects that all of its investments in the banks will be lost.339 As of September
30, 2013, $195.7 billion of the CPP principal (or 96%) had been repaid.340 The
repayment tally includes $363.3 million in preferred stock that was converted
from CPP investments into CDCI and therefore still represents outstanding
obligations to TARP. Additionally, $2.2 billion was refinanced in 2011 into SBLF,
a non-TARP Government program.341 As of September 30, 2013, Treasury had
received approximately $12 billion in interest and dividends from CPP recipients.
Treasury also had received $7.9 billion through the sale of CPP warrants that were
obtained from TARP recipients.342 For a complete list of CPP share repurchases,
see Appendix D: “Transaction Detail.”
Of the 707 banks that received CPP investments, 599 banks no longer have
outstanding principal investments in CPP. Nearly a quarter of the 707 banks, or
165, refinanced into other government programs — 28 of them into TARP’s CDCI
and 137 into the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”), a non-TARP program.343
Only 230 of the 707 banks, or 33%, fully repaid CPP principal otherwise.344 Of the
other banks that no longer have outstanding principal investments, four CPP banks
merged with other CPP banks; Treasury sold its investments in 22 banks for less
than par and sold at auction its investments in 151 banks and part of its investment
in an additional bank (all but eight of these investments sold at a loss); and 27
institutions or their subsidiary banks failed, meaning Treasury has lost or expects to
lose its entire investment in those banks.345 Figure 2.5 shows the status of the 707
CPP recipients as of September 30, 2013.
Although the 10 largest investments accounted for $142.6 billion of the
program, CPP made many smaller investments: 311 of the 707 recipients received
less than $10 million.346 None of the banks that received investments greater
than $1 billion remain in CPP. All but two of the recipients with remaining
principal investments have outstanding investments of less than $100 million,
with more than half of the banks with remaining principal investments, or 60%,
having outstanding investments of less than $10 million.347 Table 2.23 shows the
distribution of investments by amount.

Quarter
End

Dividends and Interest
As of September 30, 2013, Treasury had received $12 billion in dividends on
its CPP investments.348 However, as of that date, missed dividend and interest
payments by 184 institutions, including banks with missed payments that no
longer have outstanding CPP principal investments, totaled approximately $501.8
million, an increase from last quarter’s $494.9 million in missed payments from
188 institutions. Approximately $29.3 million of the unpaid amounts are noncumulative, meaning that the institution has no legal obligation to pay Treasury
unless the institution declares a dividend.349
More than two-thirds, or 75 of the 108 banks that had remaining CPP principal
investments as of September 30, 2013, were not current on their dividend and
interest payments to Treasury.350 The 75 banks were behind by as many as 19
payments and in total were overdue in payments to Treasury of $140.2 million.351
As of September 30, 2013, 74 of the 108 banks with remaining principal
investments were overdue by at least three payments, including 68 banks that
were overdue by at least six payments.352 Of the banks with remaining principal
investments that are not current on payments, 59 have unpaid dividend and
interest payments that are cumulative, and 16 have unpaid dividend payments that
are non-cumulative.
Table 2.31 shows the number of institutions and total unpaid amount of
dividend and interest payments by quarter from September 30, 2009, to September
30, 2013. Tables 2.25–2.30 show the distribution of missed payments and value of
those payments by state.
Treasury’s Policy on Missed Dividend and Interest Payments

According to Treasury, it “evaluates its CPP investments on an ongoing basis with
the help of outside advisors, including external asset managers. The external asset
managers provide a valuation for each CPP investment” that results in Treasury
assigning the institution a credit score.353 For those that have unfavorable credit
scores, including any institution that has missed more than three dividend (or

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

On September 30, 2013, SIGTARP
made three recommendations regarding
appointments of directors to the boards
of CPP and CDCI banks, which are
discussed in Section 5 of this report.

interest) payments, Treasury has stated that the “asset manager dedicates more
resources to monitoring the institution and may talk to the institution on a more
frequent basis.”354
Under the terms of the preferred shares or subordinated debentures held by
Treasury as a result of its CPP investments, in certain circumstances, such as when
a participant misses six dividend (or interest) payments, Treasury has the right to
appoint up to two additional members to the institution’s board of directors.355
These directors will not represent Treasury, but rather will have the same fiduciary
duties to shareholders as all other directors. They will be compensated by the
institution in a manner similar to other directors.356
According to Treasury officials, in light of their recently announced strategy
to exit their CPP investments, Treasury is no longer pursuing efforts to exercise
its contractual rights to put directors on the board of CPP institutions that have
missed six or more dividend payments.357 Treasury has decided not to pursue its
contractual rights even though as of September 30, 2013, of the 108 institutions
with remaining principal investments, 68 CPP institutions have missed at least six
payments.358 As of September 30, 2013, Treasury had made director appointments
to the boards of directors of 15 CPP banks, as noted in Table 2.32.359 Treasury has
not made a director appointment since December 14, 2012.360
For institutions that miss five or more dividend (or interest) payments,
Treasury has stated that it would seek consent from such institutions to send
observers to the institutions’ board meetings.361 As of September 30, 2013, of the
108 CPP banks with remaining principal investments, 70 had missed at least
five payments.362 According to Treasury, the observers would be selected from its
Office of Financial Stability (“OFS”) and assigned to “gain a better understanding
of the institution’s condition and challenges and to observe how the board is
addressing the situation.”363 Their participation would be “limited to inquiring
about distributed materials, presentations, and actions proposed or taken during
the meetings, as well as addressing any questions concerning” their role.364 The
findings of the observers are taken into account when Treasury evaluates whether
to appoint individuals to an institution’s board of directors.365 As of September 30,
2013, Treasury had assigned observers to 28 current CPP recipients, as noted in
Table 2.33.366
Twelve banks have rejected Treasury’s requests to send an observer to the
institutions’ board meetings.367 The banks had initial CPP investments of as much
as $27 million, have missed as many as 19 quarterly dividend payments to Treasury,
and have been overdue in dividend payments by as much as $4.1 million.368 Four of
these banks have since been sold at a loss to Treasury at auction.369 Seven of these
banks have remaining CPP principal investments, five of which continue to have
missed payments.370 At 19 missed dividend payments, Saigon National Bank of
Westminster, California, has more missed payments than any TARP bank.371 Table
2.32 lists the banks that rejected Treasury observers.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

SIGTARP and Treasury do not use the same methodology to report unpaid
dividend and interest payments. For example, Treasury generally excludes
institutions from its “non-current” reporting: (i) that have completed a
recapitalization, restructuring, or exchange with Treasury (though Treasury does
report such institutions as non-current during the pendency of negotiations); (ii)
for which Treasury sold the CPP investment to a third party, or otherwise disposed
of the investment to facilitate the sale of the institution to a third party; (iii) that
filed for bankruptcy relief; or (iv) that had a subsidiary bank fail.372 SIGTARP
generally includes such activity in Table 2.33 under “Value of Unpaid Amounts”
with the value set as of the date of the bankruptcy, restructuring, or other event
that relieves the institution of the legal obligation to continue to make dividend
and interest payments. If a completed transaction resulted in payment to Treasury
for all unpaid dividends and interest, SIGTARP does not include the institution’s
obligations under unpaid amounts. As of September 30, 2013, for all CPP banks,
including those that were missing payments when they exited, 94 banks had missed
at least 10 dividend (or interest) payments and 142 banks had missed five dividend
(or interest) payments totaling $414.2 million.373 Table 2.33 lists CPP recipients
that had unpaid dividend (or interest) payments as of September 30, 2013. For
a complete list of CPP recipients and institutions making dividend or interest
payments, see Appendix D: “Transaction Detail.”

$501,849,757

Notes: Numbers may not total due to rounding. Approximately $29.3 million of the $501.8 million in unpaid CPP dividend/interest payments are non-cumulative and Treasury has no legal right to missed
dividends that are non-cumulative.
* Missed interest payments occur when a Subchapter S recipient fails to pay Treasury interest on a subordinated debenture in a timely manner.
** Partial payments made after the due date.
*** Completed an exchange with Treasury. For an exchange of mandatorily convertible preferred stock or trust preferred securities, dividend payments normally continue to accrue. For an exchange of
mandatorily preferred stock for common stock, no additional preferred dividend payments will accrue.
**** Filed for bankruptcy or subsidiary bank failed. For completed bankruptcy proceedings, Treasury’s investment was extinguished and no additional dividend payments will accrue. For bank failures,
Treasury may elect to file claims with bank receivers to collect current and/or future unpaid dividends.
***** Treasury sold or is selling its CPP investment to the institution or a third party. No additional preferred dividend payments will accrue after a sale, absent an agreement to the contrary.
n
✓

Treasury has appointed one or more directors to the Board of Directors.
Treasury has assigned an observer to the Board of Directors.

F or First BanCorp and Pacific Capital Bancorp, Treasury had a contractual right to assign an observer to the board of directors. For the remainder, Treasury obtained consent from the institution to assign
an observer to the board of directors.
Includes unpaid cumulative dividends, non-cumulative dividends, and Subchapter S interest payments but does not include interest accrued on unpaid cumulative dividends.
3
Excludes institutions that missed payments but (i) have fully caught-up or exchanged new securities for missed payments, or (ii) have repaid their investment amounts and exited the Capital Purchase
Program.
4
Includes institutions that missed payments and (i) completed an exchange with Treasury for new securities, (ii) purchased their CPP investment from Treasury, or saw a third party purchase its CPP
investment from Treasury, or (iii) are in, or have completed bankruptcy proceedings or its subsidiary bank failed.
5
For Midwest Banc Holdings, Inc., the number of missed payments is the number last reported from SIGTARP Quarterly Report to Congress 4/20/2010, prior to bankruptcy filing; missed payment
amounts are from Treasury’s response to SIGTARP data call, 10/13/2010.
6
Treasury reported four missed payments by Community Bank of the Bay before it was allowed to transfer from CPP to CDCI. Upon transfer, Treasury reset the number of missed payments to zero.
7
For South Financial Group, Inc. and TIB Financial Corp, the number of missed payments and unpaid amounts reflect figures Treasury reported prior to the sale.
8
For CIT Group Inc., the number of missed payments is from the number last reported from SIGTARP Quarterly Report to Congress 1/30/2010, shortly after the bankruptcy filing; missed payment
amounts are from Treasury’s response to SIGTARP data call, 10/13/2010.
9
Completed exchanges:
- The exchange between Treasury and Hampton Roads, and the exchange between Treasury and Sterling Financial did not account for unpaid dividends. The number of missed payments and unpaid
amounts reflect the figures Treasury reported prior to the exchange.
- The exchange between Treasury and Central Pacific Financial Corp., and the exchange between Treasury and Pacific Capital Bancorp did account for unpaid dividends, thereby eliminating any unpaid
amounts. The number of missed payments reflects the amount Treasury reported prior to the exchange.

Despite Treasury’s stated goal of limiting CPP investments to “healthy, viable
institutions,” as of September 30, 2013, 27 CPP participants had gone bankrupt
or had a subsidiary bank fail, as indicated in Table 2.34.374 As of September 30,
2013, 24 of those banks, with total CPP investments of $770.7 million, were in the
process of bankruptcy, and while Treasury has not yet realized the loss, it expects
that all of its investments in the banks will be lost.375
Bankruptcy of Rogers Bancshares, Inc.

On January 30, 2009, Treasury invested $25 million in Rogers Bancshares, Inc.,
Little Rock, Arkansas, (“Rogers”) through CPP in return for preferred stock and
warrants.376 On July 5, 2013, Rogers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of Arkansas.377 According
to Treasury, while it will continue to monitor the matter while the bankruptcy is
open, it expects that there are not sufficient funds in the estate to repay Treasury’s
investment.378
Bankruptcy of Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin, Inc.

On January 30, 2009, Treasury invested $110 million in Anchor Bancorp
Wisconsin, Inc., Madison, Wisconsin, (“Anchor”) through CPP in return for
preferred stock and warrants.379 On August 12, 2013, Anchor filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District
of Wisconsin.380 On September 27, 2013, when the company’s restructuring plan
became effective, Treasury’s preferred stock was converted to 60 million shares of
common stock and its warrants were cancelled.381 On the same day, Treasury sold
this common stock for $6 million, resulting in a loss to Treasury of $104 million.382

The amount of Treasury’s investment prior to bankruptcy was $89,874,000. On 3/8/2010, Treasury exchanged its $84,784,000 of preferred stock in Midwest Banc Holdings, Inc.
(MBHI) for $89,388,000 of MCP, which is equivalent to the initial investment amount of $84,784,000, plus $4,604,000 of capitalized previously accrued and unpaid dividends.
c
Treasury recouped $6 million of its investment once the company’s plan of reorganization became effective.
Source: Treasury, Transactions Report, 9/30/2013.

Realized Losses, Write-offs, and Currently Not Collectible CPP
Investments
When a CPP investment is sold at a loss, or an institution that Treasury invested in
finalizes bankruptcy, Treasury records the loss as a realized loss or a write-off. For
these recorded losses, Treasury has no expectation of regaining any portion of the
lost investment. When a CPP bank or its subsidiary bank fails or enters bankruptcy,
Treasury does not record that loss until the matter is resolved. However, Treasury
generally expects that all of its investment in the bank will be lost.383 As of September 2013, Treasury began reporting investments currently not collectible as
a result of bankruptcy or receivership together with realized losses and write-offs;
previously, it had reported those as investments still outstanding. According to
Treasury, as of September 30, 2013, Treasury had realized losses, write-offs, and
investments currently not collectible as a result of bankruptcy of $4.6 billion on its
CPP investments. This total includes $403.2 million in realized losses this quarter.
Also included is $770.7 million in 24 banks that Treasury classified this quarter
as currently not collectible as a result of bankruptcy. Table 2.35 shows all realized
losses, write-offs, and investments currently not collectible as a result of bankruptcy recorded by Treasury on CPP investments through September 30, 2013.

a
In the time since these transactions were classified as write-offs, Treasury has changed its practices and now classifies sales of preferred stock at a loss as
realized losses.
b
As of September 2013, Treasury no longer counts investments currently not collectible as result of bankruptcy as “outstanding.”

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Undercapitalized: Condition in which a
financial institution does not meet its
regulator’s requirements for sufficient
capital to operate under a defined level
of adverse conditions.
Due Diligence: Appropriate level of
attention or care a reasonable person
should take before entering into an
agreement or a transaction with
another party. In finance, it often refers
to the process of conducting an audit
or review of the institution before
initiating a transaction.

Restructurings, Recapitalizations, Exchanges, and Sales of CPP
Investments
Certain CPP institutions continue to experience high losses and financial
difficulties, resulting in inadequate capital or liquidity. To avoid insolvency or
improve the quality of their capital, these institutions may ask Treasury to convert
its CPP preferred shares into a more junior form of equity or to accept a lower
valuation, resulting in Treasury taking a discount or loss. If a CPP institution
is undercapitalized and/or in danger of becoming insolvent, it may propose to
Treasury a restructuring (or recapitalization) plan to avoid failure (or to attract
private capital) and to “attempt to preserve value” for Treasury’s investment.384
Treasury may also sell its investment in a troubled institution to a third party at
a discount in order to facilitate that party’s acquisition of a troubled institution.
According to Treasury, although it may incur partial losses on its investment in the
course of these transactions, such an outcome may be deemed necessary to avoid
the total loss of Treasury’s investment that would occur if the institution failed.385
Under these circumstances, the CPP participant asks Treasury for a formal
review of its proposal. The proposal details the institution’s recapitalization plan
and may estimate how much capital the institution plans to raise from private
investors and whether Treasury and other preferred shareholders will convert
their preferred stock to common stock. The proposal may also involve a proposed
discount on the conversion to common stock, although Treasury would not realize
any loss until it disposes of the stock.386 In other words, Treasury would not know
whether a loss will occur, or the extent of such a loss, until it sells the common
stock it receives as part of such an exchange. According to Treasury, when it
receives such a request, it asks one of the external asset managers that it has
hired to analyze the proposal and perform due diligence on the institution.387 The
external asset manager interviews the institution’s managers, gathers non-public
information, and conducts loan-loss estimates and capital structure analysis.
The manager submits its evaluation to Treasury, which then decides whether to
restructure its CPP investment.388
Table 2.36 shows all restructurings, recapitalizations, exchanges, and sales of
CPP investments through September 30, 2013.

Broadway Financial Corporation

On November 14, 2008, Treasury invested $9 million and on December 4, 2009,
Treasury invested an additional $6 million in Broadway Financial Corporation,

stock and warrants.396 On August 22, 2013, Treasury exchanged its preferred
stock investment in Broadway for 10,146 shares of common stock equivalent in
Broadway, which represented a 50% discount on its preferred stock combined
with full value for Broadway’s outstanding $2.6 million in unpaid dividends.397
The common stock equivalent will be converted to common stock following a
shareholder vote.398

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Treasury’s Sale of TARP Preferred Stock Investments at Auction
Overview of CPP Preferred Stock Auctions

From March 2012 through September 30, 2013, Treasury has held 20 sets of
auctions in which it has sold all of its preferred stock investments in 151 CPP
banks and part of its investment in an additional bank.399 For publicly traded banks,
Treasury auctioned the shares through a placement agent and the shares were
available for purchase by the general public. For private banks, Treasury auctioned
the shares directly and the auctions were accessible only to qualified purchasers.
The preferred stock for all but eight of the banks sold at a discounted price and
resulted in losses to Treasury.400 In the 20 auction sets, the range of discount on
the investments was 1% to 83%.401 Treasury lost a total of $703.8 million in the
auctions.402 More than a quarter of the banks, 40, bought back some of their shares
at the discounted price.403 In three sets of auctions this quarter, Treasury sold
all of its TARP preferred investment in 17 banks and part of its investment in an
additional bank.404 The three auctions this quarter accrued losses to Treasury of
$216.9 million, including the largest dollar loss on a specific bank in the history of
these auctions; Treasury lost $190.7 million in the auctioning of First Banks, Inc.405
When Treasury sells all of its preferred shares of a CPP bank, it forfeits the
right to collect missed dividends and interest payments from the bank. Of the
152 banks in which Treasury sold its stock through this auction process, 48 were
overdue on payments to Treasury.406 The $189.8 million owed to Treasury for
missed payments by these 48 banks will never be recovered.407
Table 2.37 shows details for the auctions of preferred stock in CPP banks
through September 30, 2013.

On October 9, 2012, SIGTARP made
three recommendations regarding
CPP preferred stock auctions, which
are discussed in detail in SIGTARP’s
October 2012 Quarterly Report, pages
180-183.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

CPP Banks Refinancing into CDCI and SBLF
On October 21, 2009, the Administration announced the Community
Development Capital Initiative (“CDCI”) as another TARP-funded program.408
Under CDCI, TARP made $570.1 million in investments in 84 eligible banks and
credit unions.409 Qualifying CPP banks applied for the new TARP program, and 28
banks were accepted. The 28 banks refinanced $355.7 million in CPP investments
into CDCI.410 For more information on CDCI, see “Community Development
Capital Initiative” in this section.
On September 27, 2010, the President signed into law the Small Business Jobs
Act of 2010 (“Jobs Act”), which created the non-TARP program SBLF for Treasury
to make up to $30 billion in capital investments in institutions with less than $10
billion in total assets.411 According to Treasury, it received a total of 935 SBLF
applications, of which 320 were TARP recipients under CPP (315) or CDCI (5).412
Treasury accepted 137 CPP participants into SBLF with financing of $2.7 billion.
The 137 banks in turn refinanced $2.2 billion of Treasury’s TARP preferred stock
with the SBLF investments.413 None of the CDCI recipients were approved for
participation.
Warrant Disposition
As required by EESA, Treasury received warrants when it invested in troubled
assets from financial institutions, with an exception for certain small institutions.
With respect to financial institutions with publicly traded securities, these warrants
gave Treasury the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a certain number of
shares of common stock at a predetermined price.414 Because the warrants rise in
value as a company’s share price rises, they permit Treasury (and the taxpayer) to
benefit from a firm’s potential recovery.415
For publicly traded institutions, the warrants received by Treasury under CPP
allowed Treasury to purchase additional shares of common stock in a number
equal to 15% of the value of the original CPP investment at a specified exercise
price.416 Treasury’s warrants constitute assets with a fair market value that
Treasury estimates using relevant market quotes, financial models, and/or thirdparty valuations.417 As of September 30, 2013, Treasury had not exercised any
of these warrants.418 For privately held institutions, Treasury received warrants
to purchase additional preferred stock or debt in an amount equal to 5% of the
CPP investment. Treasury exercised these warrants immediately.419 Unsold and
unexercised warrants expire 10 years from the date of the CPP investment.420 As of
September 30, 2013, Treasury had received $7.9 billion through the sale of CPP
warrants obtained by TARP recipients.421
Repurchase of Warrants by Financial Institutions

Upon repaying its CPP investment, a recipient may seek to negotiate with
Treasury to buy back its warrants. As of September 30, 2013, 156 publicly traded
institutions had bought back $3.8 billion worth of warrants, of which $8.6 million
was purchased this quarter. As of that same date, 252 privately held institutions,
the warrants of which had been immediately exercised, bought back the resulting

For a discussion of SIGTARP’s August
20, 2013, recommendation to Treasury
regarding the inclusion of SBLF funds
as TARP repayments, see Section 5 of
this report.
For information on TARP banks that
refinanced into SBLF, see SIGTARP’s
April 9, 2013, audit report, “Banks that
Used the Small Business Lending Fund
to Exit TARP.”
For a detailed list of CPP banks that
refinanced into SBLF, see SIGTARP’s
October 2012 Quarterly Report, pages
88-92.
For a discussion of the impact of TARP
and SBLF on community banks, see
SIGTARP’s April 2012 Quarterly report,
pages 145-167.
For more information on warrant
disposition, see SIGTARP’s audit report
of May 10, 2010, “Assessing Treasury’s
Process to Sell Warrants Received from
TARP Recipients.”

Exercise Price: Preset price at which
a warrant holder may purchase each
share. For warrants in publicly traded
institutions issued through CPP, this
was based on the average stock price
during the 20 days before the date
that Treasury granted preliminary CPP
participation approval.

Treasury Warrant Auctions

If Treasury and the repaying institution cannot agree upon the price for the
institution to repurchase its warrants, Treasury may conduct a public or private
offering to auction the warrants.424 As of September 30, 2013, the combined
proceeds from Treasury’s public and private warrant auctions totaled $5.5 billion.425
Public Warrant Auctions

In November 2009, Treasury began selling warrants via public auctions.426
Through September 30, 2013, Treasury had held 26 public auctions for warrants it
received under CPP, TIP, and AGP, raising a total of approximately $5.4 billion.427
Treasury did not conduct any public warrant auctions this quarter.428 Final closing
information for all public warrant auctions is shown in Table 2.40.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Private Warrant Auctions
Qualified Institutional Buyers (“QIB”):
Institutions that under U.S. securities
law are permitted to buy securities
that are exempt from registration
under investor protection laws and
to resell those securities to other
QIBs. Generally these institutions own
and invest at least $100 million in
securities, or are registered brokerdealers that own or invest at least $10
million in securities.
Accredited Investors: Individuals or
institutions that by law are considered
financially sophisticated enough so
that they can invest in ventures that
are exempt from investor protection
laws. Under U.S. securities laws, these
include many financial companies,
pension plans, wealthy individuals,
and top executives or directors of the
issuing companies.

On November 17, 2011, Treasury conducted a private auction to sell the warrants
of 17 CPP institutions for $12.7 million.429 On June 6, 2013, it conducted a second
private auction to sell the warrants of 16 banks for $13.9 million.430 Details from
both auctions are listed in Table 2.41. Treasury stated that private auctions were
necessary because the warrants did not meet the listing requirements for the major
exchanges, it would be more cost-effective for these smaller institutions, and that
grouping the warrants of several institutions in a single auction would raise investor
interest in the warrants.431 The warrants were not registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the “Act”). As a result, Treasury stated that the warrants were offered
only in private transactions to “(1) ‘qualified institutional buyers’ as defined in
Rule 144A under the Act, (2) the issuer, and (3) a limited number of ‘accredited
investors’ affiliated with the issuer.”432

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Community Development Capital Initiative
Community Development Financial
Institutions (“CDFIs”): Financial
institutions eligible for Treasury funding
to serve urban and rural low-income
communities through the CDFI Fund.
CDFIs were created in 1994 by the
Riegle Community Development and
Regulatory Improvement Act.

The Administration announced the Community Development Capital Initiative
(“CDCI”) on October 21, 2009. According to Treasury, the program was intended
to help small businesses obtain credit.433 Under CDCI, TARP made $570.1
million in investments in the preferred stock or subordinated debt of 84 eligible
banks, bank holding companies, thrifts, and credit unions certified as Community
Development Financial Institutions (“CDFIs”) by Treasury. According to Treasury,
these lower-cost capital investments were intended to strengthen the capital base
of CDFIs and enable them to make more loans in low and moderate-income
communities.434 CDCI was open to certified, qualifying CDFIs or financial
institutions that applied for CDFI status by April 30, 2010.435
According to Treasury, CPP-participating CDFIs that were in good standing
could exchange their CPP investments for CDCI investments.436 CDCI closed to
new investments on September 30, 2010.437
Treasury invested $570.1 million in 84 institutions under the program — 36
banks or bank holding companies and 48 credit unions.438 Of the 36 investments
in banks and bank holding companies, 28 were conversions from CPP (representing $363.3 million of the total $570.1 million); the remaining eight were not CPP
participants. Treasury provided an additional $100.7 million in CDCI funds to 10
of the banks converting CPP investments. Only $106 million of the total CDCI
funds went to institutions that were not in CPP.

Status of Funds
As of September 30, 2013, 71 institutions remained in CDCI. Twelve institutions,
including two this quarter, have fully repaid Treasury and have exited CDCI. One
institution has partially repaid and remains in the program. Premier Bancorp, Inc.,
Wilmette, Illinois, previously had its subsidiary bank fail and thus almost all of
Treasury’s $6.8 million investment was lost, with $79,900 being paid to Treasury as
a result of the liquidation of the institution.439
As of September 30, 2013, taxpayers were still owed $481.5 million related to
CDCI.440 According to Treasury, it had realized losses of $6.7 million in the program that will never be recovered, leaving $474.8 million outstanding.441 According
to Treasury, $88.6 million of the CDCI principal (or 16%) had been repaid as of
September 30, 2013.442 As of September 30, 2013, Treasury had received approximately $33.2 million in dividends and interest from CDCI recipients.443 Table 2.42
lists the current status of all CDCI investments as of September 30, 2013.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

On September 30, 2013, SIGTARP
made a recommendation regarding the
appointment of directors of the boards
of CDCI banks, which is discussed in
Section 5 of this report.

Missed Dividends
As of September 30, 2013, three institutions still in CDCI had unpaid dividend
or interest payments to Treasury totaling $513,775.444 As a result of a bankrupt
institution that exited CDCI without remitting its interest payments, the total value
of all missed payments equals $830,399. Treasury has the right to appoint two
directors to the board of directors of institutions that have missed eight dividends
and interest payments, whether consecutive or nonconsecutive.445 As of September
30, 2013, Treasury had not appointed directors to the board of any CDCI
institution.446 Table 2.43 lists CDCI institutions that are not current on dividend or
interest payments.

Risk-Weighted Assets: Risk-based
measure of total assets held by
a financial institution. Assets are
assigned broad risk categories. The
amount in each risk category is then
multiplied by a risk factor associated
with that category. The sum of the
resulting weighted values from each of
the risk categories is the bank’s total
risk-weighted assets.
Subchapter S Corporations (“S
corporations”): Corporate form that
passes corporate income, losses,
deductions, and credit through to
shareholders for Federal tax purposes.
Shareholders of S corporations report
the flow-through of income and losses
on their personal tax returns and are
taxed at their individual income tax
rates.

Source: Treasury, Dividends and Interest Report, 10/10/2013.

Terms for Senior Securities and Dividends
An eligible bank, bank holding company, or thrift could apply to receive capital in
an amount up to 5% of its risk-weighted assets. A credit union (which is a memberowned, nonprofit financial institution with a capital and governance structure
different from that of for-profit banks) could apply for Government funding of
up to 3.5% of its total assets — roughly equivalent to the 5% of risk-weighted
assets for banks.447 Participating credit unions and Subchapter S corporations
(“S corporations”) issued subordinated debt to Treasury in lieu of the preferred
stock issued by other CDFI participants.448 Many CDFI investments have an
initial dividend rate of 2%, which increases to 9% after eight years. Participating
S corporations pay an initial rate of 3.1%, which increases to 13.8% after eight
years.449 A CDFI participating in CPP had the opportunity to request to convert
those shares into CDCI shares, thereby reducing the annual dividend rate it pays
the Government from 5% to as low as 2%.450 According to Treasury, CDFIs were
not required to issue warrants because of the de minimis exception in EESA, which
grants Treasury the authority to waive the warrant requirement for qualifying
institutions in which Treasury invested $100 million or less.
If during the application process a CDFI’s primary regulator deemed it to be undercapitalized or to have “quality of capital issues,” the CDFI had the opportunity
to raise private capital to achieve adequate capital levels. Treasury would match the

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

private capital raised on a dollar-for-dollar basis, up to a total of 5% of the financial
institution’s risk-weighted assets. In such cases, private investors had to agree to
assume any losses before Treasury.451

Systemically Significant Failing Institutions Program

For more on SIGTARP’s September
2012 recommendation to Treasury and
the Federal Reserve regarding AIG’s
designation as a systemically important
financial institution, see SIGTARP’s July
2013 Quarterly Report, pages 201-203.

Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”):
A legal entity, often off-balancesheet, that holds transferred assets
presumptively beyond the reach of the
entities providing the assets, and that
is legally isolated from its sponsor or
parent company.

For more information on AIG and how
the company changed while under
TARP, see SIGTARP’s July 2012
Quarterly Report, pages 151-167.

According to Treasury, the Systemically Significant Failing Institutions (“SSFI”)
program was established to “provide stability and prevent disruptions to financial
markets from the failure of a systemically significant institution.”452 Through
SSFI, between November 2008 and April 2009, Treasury invested $67.8 billion
in TARP funds in American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), the program’s sole
participant.453 AIG also received bailout funding from the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York (“FRBNY”). Combined, Treasury and FRBNY committed $182 billion to
bail out AIG, of which $161 billion was disbursed.454
AIG has repaid the amounts owed to both Treasury and FRBNY. Treasury’s
investment in AIG ended on March 1, 2013, with the sale of its AIG stock
warrants.455
In July 2013, the Financial Stability Oversight Council (“FSOC”) designated
AIG as a systemically important nonbank financial company under Dodd-Frank,
thereby subjecting AIG to enhanced prudential standards and to consolidated
supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal
Reserve”).456 According to FSOC, “Because of AIG’s size and interconnectedness,
certain characteristics of its liabilities and products, the potential effects of a rapid
liquidation of its assets, potential challenges with resolvability, as well as other
factors … material financial distress at AIG could cause an impairment of financial
intermediation or of financial market functioning that would be sufficiently severe
to inflict significant damage on the broader economy.”457 Under Dodd-Frank,
enhanced prudential standards will require AIG to, among other things: (i) meet
enhanced liquidity and capital standards; (ii) undergo and report periodic stress
tests; (iii) adopt enhanced risk-management processes; and (iv) submit a “living
will” resolution plan to be used in the event AIG faces material financial distress or
fails.458
Prior to the TARP bailout, AIG received bailout funding from FRBNY, which
eventually committed $35 billion in loans in a revolving credit facility; another
$52.5 billion in loans to create two special purpose vehicles (“SPV”), Maiden
Lane II and Maiden Lane III, to take mortgage-backed securities and credit
default swaps off AIG’s books; and a $25 billion investment for which FRBNY
acquired preferred interests in two other SPVs that housed certain AIG insurance
businesses.459 In January 2011, FRBNY and Treasury restructured their agreements
with AIG to use additional TARP funds and AIG funds to pay off amounts owed
to FRBNY and transfer FRBNY’s common stock and its interests in the insurancerelated SPVs to Treasury.
According to Treasury, in addition to recovering the full AIG bailout amount,
taxpayers have received $22.7 billion in dividends, interest, gains, and other
income.460 This included payment to FRBNY of the full amount owed on the
revolving credit facility loan, plus interest and fees of $6.8 billion; full repayment
of the loans to Maiden Lane II and Maiden Lane III, plus $8.2 billion in gains
from securities cash flows and sales and $1.3 billion in interest; and full payment
of the $25 billion owed on the insurance-business SPVs, plus interest and fees
of $1.4 billion.461 Treasury’s books and records reflect only the shares of AIG that

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Treasury received in TARP, reflecting that taxpayers have recouped $54.4 billion
of the $67.8 billion in TARP funds spent and realized losses on the sale of TARP
shares from an accounting standpoint of $13.5 billion.462 However, in the January
2011 restructuring of FRBNY and Treasury investments, TARP funds were used to
pay off AIG’s amounts owed to FRBNY and in return Treasury received FRBNY’s
stock in AIG. According to Treasury, when those shares are combined with TARP
shares in AIG, Treasury has made a $4.1 billion gain on the sale of the common
shares and AIG has paid $956 million in dividends, interest, and other income on
Treasury’s preferred shares.463
The Government’s rescue of AIG involved several different funding facilities
provided by FRBNY and Treasury, with various changes to the transactions over
time. The rescue of AIG was initially led by FRBNY and the Federal Reserve.
With the passage of EESA on October 3, 2008, Treasury, through SSFI, took on a
greater role in AIG’s bailout as the Government expanded and later restructured its
aid.
The amount and types of Treasury’s outstanding AIG investments changed
over time as a result of the execution of AIG’s January 2011 Recapitalization Plan,
preferred equity interest repayments, and Treasury’s sale of common stock which
are described below.

FRBNY Revolving Credit Facility
In September 2008, FRBNY extended an initial $85 billion revolving credit
facility to AIG, which was secured by AIG’s assets, in an effort to stabilize the
company. In return, AIG committed 79.8% of its voting equity to a trust for the
sole benefit of the United States Treasury (the “AIG Trust”).464 While the $85
billion revolving credit facility addressed the company’s severe liquidity shortage
resulting from collateral calls related to the company’s credit default swap (“CDS”)
business and securities lending activities, because the entire facility was drawn
upon, AIG’s leverage ratios increased significantly. The rapid deterioration in AIG’s
CDS and securities lending businesses, combined with this increased leverage,
resulted in downward pressure on its credit rating.465 Federal officials feared that
future downgrades in AIG’s credit rating could have “catastrophic” effects on the
company, forcing it into bankruptcy.466 FRBNY and Treasury determined that
this possibility posed a threat to the nation’s financial system and decided that
additional transactions were necessary to modify the revolving credit facility.467
Restructurings of AIG Assistance
In November 2008 and March 2009, FRBNY and Treasury took several actions to
stabilize AIG’s operations.468
• Initial TARP Investment: On November 25, 2008, Treasury purchased $40
billion in AIG preferred shares under TARP, the proceeds of which went directly
to FRBNY to pay down a portion of the outstanding balance of the existing
revolving credit facility. In return, Treasury received AIG Series D cumulative
preferred stock and warrants to purchase AIG common stock.469 After that

Revolving Credit Facility: Line of
credit for which borrowers pay a
commitment fee, allowing them to
repeatedly draw down funds up to a
guaranteed maximum amount. The
amount of available credit decreases
and increases as funds are borrowed
and then repaid.
Credit Default Swap (“CDS”): A contract
where the seller receives payments
from the buyer in return for agreeing to
pay the buyer when a particular credit
event occurs, such as when the credit
rating on a bond is downgraded or a
loan goes into default. The buyer does
not need to own the asset covered by
the contract, meaning the swap can
serve essentially as a bet against the
underlying bond or loan.
Cumulative Preferred Stock: Stock
requiring a defined dividend payment. If
the company does not pay the dividend
on schedule, it still owes the missed
dividend to the stock’s owner.

155

156

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Collateralized Debt Obligation (“CDO”):
A security that entitles the purchaser
to some part of the cash flows from a
portfolio of assets such as mortgagebacked securities, bonds, loans, or
other CDOs.
Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock:
Preferred stock with a defined
dividend, without the obligation to pay
missed dividends.
Equity Capital Facility: Commitment
to invest equity capital in a firm
under certain future conditions. An
equity facility when drawn down is
an investment that increases the
provider’s ownership stake in the
company. The investor may be able to
recover the amount invested by selling
its ownership stake to other investors
at a later date.

For a more detailed description of the
disposition of Treasury’s interest in
the SPVs, see SIGTARP’s April 2012
Quarterly Report, pages 112-113.

payment, the total amount available to AIG under FRBNY’s revolving credit
facility was reduced from $85 billion to $60 billion.
• Creation of Maiden Lane II & III: Also in November 2008, FRBNY created
Maiden Lane II, an SPV, to take significant mortgage-backed securities off
AIG’s books. FRBNY lent $19.5 billion (out of $22.5 billion committed) to
Maiden Lane II to fund the purchase of residential mortgage-backed securities
(“RMBS”) that were contained in several of AIG’s U.S.-regulated insurance
subsidiaries’ portfolios. Finally, also in November 2008, FRBNY created Maiden
Lane III, another SPV, to which FRBNY lent $24.3 billion (out of $30 billion
committed) to buy from AIG’s counterparties some of the collateralized debt
obligations (“CDOs”) underlying the CDS contracts written by AIG.
• Second TARP Investment: On March 2, 2009, Treasury and FRBNY
announced a restructuring of Government assistance to AIG that, according
to Treasury, was designed to strengthen the company’s capital position.470 In
that restructuring, AIG and Treasury signed an agreement on April 17, 2009,
under which Treasury exchanged the Series D cumulative preferred stock,
which required AIG to make quarterly dividend and interest payments, for
$41.6 billion (including $1.6 billion in missed dividend payments) of less
valuable Series E non-cumulative preferred stock, which required dividend and
interest payments if AIG’s board of directors declared a dividend. Additionally,
on April 17, 2009, Treasury committed to fund an equity capital facility under
which AIG could draw down up to $29.8 billion in exchange for Series F
non-cumulative preferred stock (that had similar terms to the Series E) and
additional warrants, of which AIG drew down $27.8 billion.471
• Creation of Additional Special Purpose Vehicles and Sale of Assets Under
SPVs: The restructuring measures announced in March 2009 also included
an authorization for FRBNY to acquire up to $26 billion of preferred equity
interests in two SPVs, AIA Aurora LLC (“AIA SPV”) and ALICO Holdings LLC
(“ALICO SPV”). The creation of the SPVs also facilitated the independence
of these two subsidiaries in anticipation of a sale or initial public offering
(“IPO”).472 In 2009 and 2010, AIG sold the assets of these SPVs, and later paid
back Treasury and FRBNY.473

AIG Recapitalization Plan
On January 14, 2011, AIG executed its Recapitalization Plan with the Government,
which extinguished FRBNY’s revolving credit facility, retired FRBNY’s remaining
interests in the SPVs, and transferred those interests to Treasury, increasing
Treasury’s TARP investment in AIG. AIG repaid $20.7 billion owed to FRBNY’s
revolving credit facility with proceeds from the AIA IPO and ALICO sale. AIG
drew down $20.3 billion in TARP funds under a Series F equity capital facility
to purchase certain of FRBNY’s interests in the ALICO SPV and AIA SPV and
transferred those interests to Treasury. AIG exchanged all prior outstanding
preferred shares held by the Government and issued new common stock to
Treasury representing a 92.1% interest in AIG. Treasury also created a new $2
billion Series G equity capital facility, which was never drawn down.474

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

For the period November 25, 2008, to January 14, 2011, AIG had failed to pay
a total of $7.9 billion in dividend payments.475 After the Recapitalization Plan was
executed, AIG no longer had an obligation to pay dividends.

For a more detailed description of
the AIG Recapitalization Plan, see
SIGTARP’s January 2011 Quarterly
Report, pages 135-139.

Treasury’s Equity Ownership Interest in AIG
As part of the Recapitalization Plan, AIG extinguished all prior outstanding
preferred shares held by the Government, comprising $41.6 billion of Series E
preferred shares and $7.5 billion drawn from the Series F equity capital facility.
In exchange, it issued 1.655 billion shares of common stock (which included 563
million Series C shares held by the AIG Trust for the benefit of the U.S. Treasury),
representing 92.1% of the common stock of AIG.476 The AIG Trust was then
terminated. AIG issued 10-year warrants to its existing non-Government common
shareholders to purchase up to a cumulative total of 75 million shares of common
stock at a strike price of $45 per share.477
In a series of six offerings from May 2011 through December 2012, Treasury
sold its 1.655 billion shares of AIG’s common stock at an average price of $31.18
per share, for a total of $51.6 billion.478 The last of those sales took place on
December 14, 2012, when Treasury sold its remaining 234 million shares for
$32.50 per share.479 As reflected on Treasury’s TARP books and records, taxpayers
have recouped $54.4 billion of the $67.8 billion in TARP funds invested in AIG
and realized losses from an accounting standpoint of $13.5 billion on Treasury’s
sale of AIG stock.480 The shares sold included AIG common stock that Treasury
obtained from FRBNY after the January 2011 restructuring of the FRBNY and
Treasury investments. According to Treasury, the Government overall made a
$4.1 billion gain on the common stock sales, and $956 million has been paid in
dividends, interest, and other income.481 This does not include payments made to
FRBNY prior to the restructuring measures completed in January 2011.
On March 1, 2013, Treasury sold its remaining investment in AIG, which
consisted of 2.7 million warrants that would have provided Treasury the right to
purchase AIG common stock at an exercise price of $50 per share.482 AIG bought
the warrants for $25.2 million, or about $9.35 per share. The same day the
transaction was completed, AIG’s closing stock price was $37.85 per share on the
New York Stock Exchange.483

For more information on Treasury’s
sales of AIG common shares and AIG’s
buybacks of shares, see SIGTARP’s July
2013 Quarterly Report, page 131.

FRBNY’s Sales of Maiden Lane II Securities
In February 2012, FRBNY completed the sale of all securities in the Maiden
Lane II portfolio.484 According to FRBNY, its management of the Maiden Lane
II portfolio resulted in full repayment of its $19.5 billion loan to Maiden Lane II,
generating a net gain of approximately $2.3 billion, plus $580 million in accrued
interest on the loan.485 According to FRBNY, as of September 30, 2013, a cash
balance of about $64 million remained in Maiden Lane II to pay for final expenses
of winding down the portfolio.486

Maiden Lane II securities sales, see

In August 2012, FRBNY completed the sale of all securities in the Maiden Lane III
portfolio. According to FRBNY, its management of the Maiden Lane III portfolio
resulted in full repayment of its $24.3 billion loan to Maiden Lane III, generating a
net gain of approximately $5.9 billion, plus $737 million in accrued interest on the
loan.487 According to FRBNY, as of September 30, 2013, a cash balance of about
$22 million remained in Maiden Lane III to pay for final expenses of winding down
the portfolio.488
According to auction details released by FRBNY on November 23, 2012, AIG
received $5.6 billion as repayment of its equity contribution to Maiden Lane III,
including interest.489 After FRBNY’s loan to Maiden Lane III and AIG’s equity
interest were repaid with interest, FRBNY and AIG split remaining auction
proceeds, with FRBNY receiving $5.9 billion and AIG receiving $2.9 billion.490

Targeted Investment Program
Treasury invested a total of $40 billion in two financial institutions, Citigroup
Inc. (“Citigroup”) and Bank of America Corp. (“Bank of America”), through the
Targeted Investment Program (“TIP”). Treasury invested $20 billion in Citigroup
on December 31, 2008, and $20 billion in Bank of America on January 16, 2009,
in return for preferred shares paying quarterly dividends at an annual rate of 8%
and warrants from each institution.491 According to Treasury, TIP’s goal was to
“strengthen the economy and protect American jobs, savings, and retirement
security [where] the loss of confidence in a financial institution could result in
significant market disruptions that threaten the financial strength of similarly
situated financial institutions.”492 Both banks repaid TIP in December 2009.493 On
March 3, 2010, Treasury auctioned the Bank of America warrants it received under
TIP for $1.24 billion.494 On January 25, 2011, Treasury auctioned the Citigroup
warrants it had received under TIP for $190.4 million.495

Asset Guarantee Program
Under the Asset Guarantee Program (“AGP”), Treasury, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Federal Reserve, and Citigroup agreed to
provide loss protection on a pool of Citigroup assets valued at approximately $301
billion. In return, as a premium, the Government received warrants to purchase
Citigroup common stock and $7 billion in preferred stock. The preferred stock was
subsequently exchanged for trust preferred securities (“TRUPS”).496
Treasury received $4 billion of the TRUPS and FDIC received $3 billion.497
Although Treasury’s asset guarantee was not a direct cash investment, it exposed
taxpayers to a potential TARP loss of $5 billion. On December 23, 2009, in connection with Citigroup’s TIP repayment, Citigroup and Treasury terminated the
AGP agreement. Although at the time of termination the asset pool suffered a
$10.2 billion loss, this number was below the agreed-upon deductible and the
Government suffered no loss.498
At that time, Treasury agreed to cancel $1.8 billion of the TRUPS issued by
Citigroup, reducing the premium it received from $4 billion to $2.2 billion, in
exchange for the early termination of the loss protection. FDIC retained all of its
$3 billion in securities.499 Pursuant to that termination agreement, on December
28, 2012, FDIC transferred $800 million of those securities to Treasury because
Citigroup’s participation in FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program closed
without a loss.500 On February 4, 2013, Treasury exchanged the $800 million of
securities it received from FDIC into Citigroup subordinated notes, which it then
sold for $894 million.501
Separately, on September 29, 2010, Treasury entered into an agreement with
Citigroup to exchange the remaining $2.2 billion in Citigroup TRUPS that it then
held under AGP for new TRUPS. Because the interest rate necessary to receive par
value was below the interest rate paid by Citigroup to Treasury, Citigroup increased
the principal amount of the securities sold by Treasury by an additional $12 million, thereby enabling Treasury to receive an additional $12 million in proceeds
from the $2.2 billion sale of the Citigroup TRUPS, which occurred on September

Trust Preferred Securities (“TRUPS”):
Securities that have both equity
and debt characteristics created by
establishing a trust and issuing debt
to it.

30, 2010.502 On January 25, 2011, Treasury auctioned the Citigroup warrants it
had received under AGP for $67.2 million.503 In addition to recovering the full
bailout amount, taxpayers have received $13.4 billion over the course of Citigroup’s
participation in AGP, TIP, and CPP, including dividends, other income, and warrant sales.504
Bank of America announced a similar asset guarantee agreement with respect
to approximately $118 billion in Bank of America assets, but the final agreement
was never executed. Bank of America paid $425 million to the Government as a
termination fee.505 Of this $425 million, $276 million was paid to Treasury, $92
million was paid to FDIC, and $57 million was paid to the Federal Reserve.506

ASSET SUPPORT PROGRAMS

Three TARP programs have focused on supporting markets for specific asset
classes: the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”), the PublicPrivate Investment Program (“PPIP”), and the Unlocking Credit for Small
Businesses (“UCSB”) program.
TALF was designed to support asset-backed securities (“ABS”) transactions
by providing eligible borrowers $71.1 billion in non-recourse loans through the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) to purchase non-mortgage-backed
ABS and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). Treasury initially
obligated $4.3 billion in TARP funds to purchase and manage loan collateral from
any TALF loans that defaulted.507 As of September 30, 2013, all TARP funding
for TALF has now been either deobligated or repaid.508 Of the $71.1 billion in
TALF loans, none have defaulted and $100.7 million remains outstanding as of
September 30, 2013.509
PPIP used a combination of private equity and Government equity and debt
through TARP to facilitate purchases of legacy mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)
held by financial institutions. In July 2009, Treasury announced the selection
of nine Public-Private Investment Fund (“PPIF”) managers. Treasury originally
obligated $22.4 billion in TARP funds to the program, then reduced the obligation
over time when several PPIFs did not use the full amounts available to them. One
PPIP manager, The TCW Group Inc. (“TCW”), withdrew soon after the program
began. A total of $18.6 billion in TARP funding was drawn down and fully repaid
by PPIP fund managers.510 As of September 30, 2013, the entire PPIP portfolio
had been liquidated, and three PPIP funds were legally dissolved while the other
five were in various stages of winding down operations.511
Through the UCSB loan support initiative, Treasury purchased $368.1 million
in 31 SBA 7(a) securities, which are securitized small-business loans.512 According
to Treasury, on January 24, 2012, Treasury sold its remaining securities and ended
the program with a total investment gain of about $9 million for all the securities,
including sale proceeds and payments of principal, interest, and debt.513

TALF
TALF, which was announced in November 2008, issued loans collateralized by
eligible ABS.514 According to FRBNY, TALF was “designed to increase credit
availability and support economic activity by facilitating renewed issuance of
consumer and business ABS.”515 TALF is divided into two parts:516
• a lending program, TALF, in which FRBNY originated and managed nonrecourse loans to eligible borrowers using eligible ABS and CMBS as collateral.
TALF’s lending program closed in 2010.
• an asset disposition facility, TALF LLC, that purchased the collateral from
FRBNY if borrowers chose to surrender it and walk away from their loans or if
the collateral is seized in the event of default.

Non-Recourse Loan: Secured loan
in which the borrower is relieved of
the obligation to repay the loan upon
surrendering the collateral.
Collateral: Asset pledged by a
borrower to a lender until a loan is
repaid. Generally, if the borrower
defaults on the loan, the lender gains
ownership of the pledged asset and
may sell it to satisfy the debt. In TALF,
the ABS or CMBS purchased with
the TALF loan is the collateral that is
posted with FRBNY.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

For a discussion of the credit rating
agency industry and an analysis of the
impact of NRSROs on TARP and the
overall financial market, see SIGTARP’s
October 2009 Quarterly Report, pages
113–148.

Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating
Organization (“NRSRO”): Credit rating
agency registered with the SEC. Credit
rating agencies provide their opinion
of the creditworthiness of companies
and the financial obligations issued
by companies. The ratings distinguish
between investment grade and non–
investment grade equity and debt
obligations.
TALF Agent: Financial institution that
is party to the TALF Master Loan
and Security Agreement and that
occasionally acts as an agent for the
borrower. TALF agents include primary
and nonprimary broker-dealers.
Haircut: Difference between the value
of the collateral and the value of the
loan (the loan value is less than the
collateral value).
“Skin in the Game”: Equity stake in an
investment; down payment; the amount
an investor can lose.

The asset disposition facility, TALF LLC, is managed by FRBNY and remains
in operation until final TALF loans mature on March 30, 2015.517 TALF loans are
non-recourse (unless the borrower has made any misrepresentations or breaches
warranties or covenants), which means that FRBNY cannot hold the borrower
liable for any losses beyond the surrender of collateral for the TALF loan.518
TALF LLC’s funding originates from a fee charged to FRBNY for the
commitment to purchase any collateral surrendered by the borrowers. This fee
is derived from the principal balance of each outstanding TALF program loan.519
As of September 30, 2013, $100.7 million in TALF loans was outstanding.520
According to FRBNY, no TALF borrowers have surrendered collateral in lieu of
repayment and consequently no collateral has been purchased by TALF LLC since
its inception.521

Lending Program
TALF’s lending program made secured loans to eligible borrowers.522 The loans
were issued with terms of three or five years and were available for non-mortgagebacked ABS, newly issued CMBS, and legacy CMBS.523 The final maturity date of
loans in the TALF portfolio is March 30, 2015.524
To qualify as TALF collateral, the non-mortgage-backed ABS had to have
underlying loans for automobile, student, credit card, or equipment debt; insurance
premium finance; SBA-guaranteed small business loans; or receivables for
residential mortgage servicing advances (“servicing advance receivables”). Collateral
was also required to hold the highest investment grade credit ratings from at least
two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”).525
To qualify as TALF collateral, newly issued CMBS and legacy CMBS had to
have been issued by an institution other than a Government-sponsored enterprise
(“GSE”) or an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. Government, offer principal
and interest payments, not be junior to other securities with claims on the same
pool of loans, and possess the highest long-term investment grade credit rating
from at least two rating agencies.526 Newly issued CMBS had to be issued on or
after January 1, 2009, while legacy CMBS were issued before that date.527
Loan Terms

TALF participants were required to use a TALF agent to apply for a TALF loan.528
After the collateral (the particular asset-backed security financed by the TALF loan)
was deemed eligible by FRBNY, the collateral was assigned a haircut. A haircut,
which represents the amount of money put up by the borrower (the borrower’s
“skin in the game”), was required for each TALF loan.529 Haircuts for nonmortgage-backed ABS varied based on the riskiness and maturity of the collateral,
and generally ranged between 5% and 16% for non-mortgage-backed ABS with
average lives of five years or less.530 The haircut for legacy and newly issued CMBS
was generally 15% but rose above that amount if the average life of the CMBS was
greater than five years.531
FRBNY lent each borrower the amount of the market price of the pledged
collateral minus the haircut, subject to certain limitations.532 The borrower

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 25, 2012

delivered the collateral to the custodian bank, which collected payments generated
by the collateral and distributed them to FRBNY (representing the borrower’s
payment of interest on the TALF loan).533 Any excess payments from the collateral
above the interest due and payable to FRBNY on the loan go to the TALF
borrower.534
TALF Loans

TALF provided a total of $71.1 billion in loans through FRBNY. Treasury initially
obligated $4.3 billion in TARP funds to purchase and manage loan collateral from
any TALF loans that defaulted.535 On January 15, 2013, Treasury and FRBNY said
the TARP-funded credit protection was no longer needed because lending fees
collected by TALF had exceeded the amount of loans still outstanding.536 As of
September 30, 2013, all TARP funding for TALF has now been either deobligated
or repaid.537
TALF provided $59 billion of loans to purchase non-mortgage-backed ABS
during the lending phase of the program, which ended on March 11, 2010. As of
September 30, 2013, $49.8 million was outstanding, all in student loans.538 Table

TALF loans were issued with terms of three years or five years. The final
maturity date of the last of the five-year loans is March 30, 2015.541 The
outstanding TALF loans consist of $50.9 million in loans collateralized by CMBS
and $49.8 million in loans collateralized by student loans. As of September 30,
2013, all of the TALF loans have more than a year remaining until maturity.542
The Federal Reserve posted on its website detailed information on the 177
TALF borrowers, including the identities of the borrowers, the amounts and rates
of the loans, and details about the collateral.543
As of September 30, 2013, $71 billion in TALF loans had been repaid.
According to FRBNY, the outstanding collateral on the remaining $100.7 million in
TALF loans was performing as expected.544

Asset Disposition Facility
When FRBNY created TALF LLC, TARP loaned the facility $100 million.545
As of September 30, 2013, the $100 million was repaid in full along with $13
million in interest, according to Treasury.546 During the remaining two years of the
program, any interest, fees, and gains collected above the remaining principal on
outstanding TALF loans will be shared by Treasury (90%) and FRBNY (10%).547 As
of September 30, 2013, Treasury had received $570.1 million in additional gains
and FRBNY had received $63.3 million.548

Excess Spread: Funds left over
after required payments and other
contractual obligations have been met.
In TALF it is the difference between
the periodic amount of interest paid
out by the collateral and the amount
of interest charged by FRBNY on the
nonrecourse loan provided to the
borrower to purchase the collateral.

Current Status
As of September 30, 2013, TALF LLC had assets of $112 million, which consisted
of interest and other income and fees earned from permitted investments.549 From
its February 4, 2009, formation through September 30, 2013, TALF LLC had
spent approximately $2.9 million on administration.550
When TALF closed for new loans in June 2010, FRBNY’s responsibilities under
the program shifted primarily to portfolio management, which includes maintaining documentation, overseeing the custodian that is responsible for holding ABS
collateral, calculating and collecting principal and interest on TALF loans, disbursing excess spread to TALF borrowers in accordance with the governing documents,
monitoring the TALF portfolio, collecting and managing collateral assets if a borrower defaults or surrenders the collateral in lieu of repayment, and paying TALF
LLC interest that borrowers pay FRBNY on TALF loans, in excess of FRBNY’s cost
of funding.551

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Public-Private Investment Program
According to Treasury, the purpose of the Public-Private Investment Program
(“PPIP”) was to purchase legacy securities from banks, insurance companies,
mutual funds, pension funds, and other eligible financial institutions as defined
in EESA, through Public-Private Investment Funds (“PPIFs”).552 PPIFs were
partnerships, formed specifically for this program, that invested in mortgage-backed
securities using equity capital from private-sector investors combined with TARP
equity and debt. A private-sector fund management firm oversaw each PPIF on
behalf of investors. According to Treasury, the aim of PPIP was to “restart the
market for legacy securities, allowing banks and other financial institutions to free
up capital and stimulate the extension of new credit.”553
Treasury selected nine fund management firms to establish PPIFs. One PPIP
manager, TCW, subsequently withdrew. As of September 30, 2013, the entire PPIP
portfolio had been liquidated, and three PPIP funds were legally dissolved while
the other five were in various stages of winding down operations. Private investors
and Treasury co-invested in the PPIFs to purchase legacy securities from financial
institutions. The fund managers raised private-sector capital. Treasury matched the
private-sector equity dollar-for-dollar and provided debt financing in the amount of
the total combined equity. Each PPIP manager was also required to invest at least
$20 million of its own money in the PPIF.554 Each PPIF was approximately 75%
TARP funded. PPIP was initially designed as an eight-year program giving PPIP
managers until 2017 to sell the assets in their portfolio, allowing for a two-year
extension under certain circumstances.555
Under the program, Treasury, the PPIP managers, and the private investors
shared PPIF profits and losses on a pro rata basis based on their limited partnership
interests. Treasury also received warrants in each PPIF that gave Treasury the
right to receive an extra portion of the fund’s final profits that would otherwise be
distributed to the private investors.556
The PPIP portfolio consisted of eligible securities and cash assets. The
securities eligible for purchase by PPIFs (“eligible assets”) were non-agency
residential mortgage-backed securities (“non-agency RMBS”) and commercial
mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) that also met the following criteria: issued
before January 1, 2009 (legacy); rated when issued AAA or equivalent by two or
more credit rating agencies designated as nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations (“NRSROs”); secured directly by actual mortgages, leases, or other
Pro Rata: Refers to dividing something
among a group of participants according
to the proportionate share that each
participant holds as a part of the whole.

Limited Partnership: Partnership in which
there is at least one partner whose
liability is limited to the amount invested
(limited partner) and at least one partner
whose liability extends beyond monetary
investment (general partner).

Legacy Securities: Real estate-related
securities originally issued before
2009 that remained on the balance
sheets of financial institutions because
of pricing difficulties that resulted from
market disruption.
Equity: Investment that represents an
ownership interest in a business.
Debt: Investment in a business that
is required to be paid back to the
investor, usually with interest.

For more information on the selection of
PPIP managers, see SIGTARP’s October
7, 2010, audit report entitled “Selecting
Fund Managers for the Legacy
Securities Public-Private Investment
Program.”
For more information on the withdrawal
of TCW as a PPIP manager, see
SIGTARP’s January 2010 Quarterly
Report, page 88.

Non-Agency Residential MortgageBacked Securities (“non-agency RMBS”):
Financial instrument backed by a group
of residential real estate mortgages (i.e.,
home mortgages for residences with up
to four dwelling units) not guaranteed
or owned by a Government-sponsored
enterprise (“GSE”), or a Government
agency.

assets, not other securities (other than certain swap positions, as determined by
Treasury); and located primarily in the United States (the loans and other assets
that secure the non-agency RMBS and CMBS); and purchased from financial
institutions eligible for TARP participation.557

PPIP Process
Funds chosen to participate in PPIP raised private capital, matched up to a
preset maximum by Treasury. Additionally, each PPIF could borrow from TARP
an amount up to 100% of the total private and Government equity investment.
Treasury, which provided about 75% of the program’s equity and debt financing,
also received warrants from each PPIF so that it could benefit further from funds
that turned a profit. The PPIP managers were required to provide monthly portfolio
reports to Treasury and other investors.558
To obtain obligated funds, PPIP managers sent a notice to Treasury and the
private investors requesting a “draw down” of portions of obligated contributions in
order to purchase specific investments or to pay certain expenses and debts of the
partnerships.559
PPIF Purchasing Power

During the capital-raising period, the eight PPIP fund managers raised $7.4 billion
of private-sector equity capital, which Treasury matched with a dollar-for-dollar
obligation, for a total of $14.7 billion in equity capital. Treasury also obligated
$14.7 billion of debt financing, resulting in $29.4 billion of PPIF purchasing
power. PPIF fund-raising was completed in December 2009. After the capitalraising stage, Treasury obligated a total of $22.4 billion in a combination of
matching equity funds and debt financing for PPIP, which included funds for
TCW, which subsequently withdrew from the program. Table 2.46 shows equity
and debt committed by Treasury for the eight PPIFs that actively participated in
the program.

The program gave each PPIP manager up to three years (the “PPIF investment
period”) from closing its first private-sector equity contribution to draw upon the
TARP funds obligated for the PPIF and buy legacy securities on behalf of private
and Government investors.560 During that investment period, the program sought
to maintain “predominantly a long-term buy and hold strategy.”561 The investment
periods for all PPIFs expired in 2012.562
Subsequently, fund managers had up to five years ending in 2017 to manage
and sell off the fund’s investment portfolio and return proceeds to taxpayers and
investors, with the ability to extend that period under certain circumstances.563
Amounts Drawn Down

The eight PPIP managers drew down a total of approximately $24.4 billion to buy
legacy securities during their investment periods, spending $6.1 billion in privatesector equity capital and $18.3 billion in TARP equity and debt funding.564 The
last fund’s investment period ended in December 2012.565 Treasury also disbursed
$356.3 million to TCW, which TCW fully repaid in early 2010 when it withdrew
from the program.566
As a group, the funds drew down and spent about 83% of the total money
available to them to invest in legacy real estate-backed securities.567 All unused
TARP debt financing has been deobligated by Treasury.568 Unused TARP equity
financing is deobligated when each fund is legally dissolved.

PPIP Fund Repayments and Liquidations
Throughout the program, PPIP managers were required to make TARP payments
to Treasury for debt principal, debt interest, and equity capital. Under the program,
the PPIP funds also shared profits from the investments with Treasury. All PPIFs
have fully repaid their TARP debt and equity financing.569 The nine PPIFs together
had repaid $12.4 billion in TARP debt and $6.3 billion in TARP equity, including
payments by TCW, as of September 30, 2013.
The PPIP managers wound down their portfolios as follows:
• In June 2013, Oaktree liquidated its remaining PPIP investments.570 According
to Treasury, Oaktree fully repaid Treasury’s equity investment of $555.9 million
and Treasury debt of $1.1 billion, with interest. As of September 30, 2013,
Oaktree’s PPIF still had approximately $1.5 million in cash to pay for winddown expenses.571
• In June 2013, Marathon liquidated its remaining PPIP investments.572
According to Treasury, Marathon fully repaid Treasury’s equity investment
of $474.6 million and Treasury debt of $949 million, with interest. As of
September 30, 2013, Marathon’s PPIF still had approximately $11.9 million in
cash to pay for wind-down expenses.573
• In May 2013, AG GECC liquidated its remaining PPIP investments.574
According to Treasury, AG GECC fully repaid Treasury’s equity investment of
$1.1 billion and Treasury debt of $2.2 billion, with interest. As of September 30,
2013, AG GECC’s PPIF still had approximately $4.1 million in cash to pay for

Securities Purchased by PPIFs
According to their agreements with Treasury, PPIP managers invested in both
RMBS and CMBS, except for Oaktree, which invested only in CMBS.591 Figure

calendar quarter from the beginning of the funds’ investment period, until all
securities were sold in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, broken down by RMBS

PPIF investments were classified by underlying asset type. All non-agency
RMBS investments were considered residential because the underlying assets were
mortgages for residences with up to four dwelling units. For CMBS, the assets were
commercial real estate mortgages: office, retail, multi-family, hotel, industrial (such
as warehouses), mobile home parks, mixed-use (combination of commercial and/
or residential uses), and self-storage. Over the course of the program, the portfolio
held large concentrations of office and retail. Figure 2.8 breaks down CMBS
investment distribution by sector from December 31, 2009 through June 30, 2013.

Non-agency RMBS and CMBS were classified by the degree of estimated
default risk (sometimes referred to as “quality”). In general, the highest-quality
rankings went to mortgages with the strictest requirements regarding borrower
credit, completeness of documentation, and underwriting standards. Treasury
characterized the investment-quality levels of risk for the types of mortgage loans
that support non-agency RMBS as follows:592
• Prime — mortgage loan made to a borrower with good credit that generally met
the lender’s strictest underwriting criteria.
• Alt-A — mortgage loan made to a borrower with good credit but with limited
documentation or other characteristics that do not meet the standards for prime
loans.
• Subprime — mortgage loan made to a borrower with a poor credit rating.
• Option Adjustable Rate Mortgage (“Option ARM”) — mortgage loan that
gave the borrower choices about how much interest and principal to pay each
month, which could result in an increasing loan principal balance over time.
• Other (RMBS) — RMBS that did not meet the definitions for prime, Alt-A,
subprime, or option ARM but met the definition of “eligible assets” above.
Treasury characterized CMBS according to the bond’s degree of “credit
enhancement,” i.e., the percentage of the underlying mortgage pool by balance that
must be written down before the bond had any losses.593

171

172

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

• Super Senior — most senior originally rated AAA bonds in a CMBS
securitization with the highest level of credit enhancement.
• AM (Mezzanine) — mezzanine-level originally rated AAA bond. Creditors
receive interest and principal payments after super senior creditors but before
junior creditors.594
• AJ (Junior) — the most junior bond in a CMBS securitization with a AAA rating
at issuance.
• Other (CMBS) — CMBS that did not meet the definitions for super senior,
AM, or AJ but met the definition of “eligible assets” above.

Unlocking Credit for Small Businesses (“UCSB”)/Small
Business Administration (“SBA”) Loan Support Initiative
On March 16, 2009, Treasury announced the Unlocking Credit for Small
Businesses (“UCSB”) program, which according to Treasury was designed to
encourage banks to increase lending to small businesses. Through UCSB, Treasury
purchased $368.1 million in securities backed by pools of loans from the Small
Business Administration’s (“SBA”) 7(a) Loan Program.595
Treasury signed contracts with two pool assemblers, Coastal Securities, Inc.
(“Coastal Securities”), and Shay Financial Services, Inc. (“Shay Financial”), on
March 2, 2010, and August 27, 2010, respectively.596 Under the governing agreement, EARNEST Partners, on behalf of Treasury, purchased SBA pool certificates

respectively.600

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY SUPPORT PROGRAMS
During the financial crisis, Treasury, through TARP, launched three automotive
industry support programs: the Automotive Industry Financing Program (“AIFP”),
the Auto Supplier Support Program (“ASSP”), and the Auto Warranty Commitment
Program (“AWCP”). According to Treasury, these programs were established “to
prevent the collapse of the U.S. auto industry, which would have posed a significant
risk to financial market stability, threatened the overall economy, and resulted in
the loss of one million U.S. jobs.”601 As of September 30, 2013, General Motors
Company (“GM”) and GMAC Inc., now Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally Financial”),
remain in TARP, owing $15 billion and $14.6 billion, respectively, to taxpayers.602
Treasury owned 101.3 million GM shares, or 7.3% of GM’s common stock
outstanding as of September 26, 2013, the most recent date for which it has disclosed share ownership.603 As of September 30, 2013, Treasury owned 74% of Ally
Financial’s common stock and $5.9 billion of its mandatorily convertible preferred
shares (“MCP”).604 Taxpayers have lost $9.7 billion on the TARP investment in
GM as of September 30, 2013, from selling GM common stock at prices below the
Government’s cost basis, according to Treasury.605 Taxpayers also lost $2.9 billion
on Treasury’s investment in Chrysler LLC, which exited TARP in 2011. A fourth
company, Chrysler Financial Services Americas LLC (“Chrysler Financial”), repaid
all its TARP money in 2009. ASSP was terminated in April 2010 and AWCP was
terminated in July 2009.
Treasury initially obligated approximately $84.8 billion in TARP funds through
the three auto assistance programs to GM, Ally Financial, Chrysler, and Chrysler
Financial.606 Ultimately, Treasury spent $79.7 billion in TARP funds on the auto
bailout after $2.1 billion in loan commitments to Chrysler were never drawn down,
and all available funding for the ASSP program was not used.607 As of September
30, 2013, taxpayers are owed $32.5 billion, of which $12.6 billion in losses
have been realized or written off and will never be repaid, leaving $19.9 billion
outstanding.
Treasury’s investments in AIFP and the two related programs and the
companies’ principal repayments are summarized in Table 2.48.

Automotive Industry Financing Program
AIFP, the largest of the three auto bailout programs, has not expended any
TARP funds for the automotive industry since December 30, 2009.608 Of AIFPrelated loan principal repayments and share sale proceeds, as of September
30, 2013, Treasury has received approximately $34.5 billion related to its GM
investment, $2.5 billion related to its Ally Financial/GMAC investment, $7.6
billion related to its Chrysler investment, and $1.5 billion related to its Chrysler
Financial investment.609 In addition to principal repayments, Treasury has received
approximately $5.5 billion in dividends and interest as of September 30, 2013.610

GM
GM is still in TARP and taxpayers are owed $15 billion for the investment in GM.
In return for its investment, Treasury held 101.3 million shares or 7.3% of GM’s
common stock as of September 26, 2013, the most recent date for which it has
disclosed share ownership.611 Treasury provided approximately $49.5 billion to
GM through AIFP, the largest of the automotive rescue programs. Of that amount,

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

$19.4 billion was provided before bankruptcy and $30.1 billion was provided as
financing during bankruptcy. During bankruptcy proceedings, Treasury’s loans were
converted into common or preferred stock in GM or debt assumed by GM. As a
result of GM’s bankruptcy, Treasury’s investment was converted to a 61% common
equity stake in GM, $2.1 billion in preferred stock in GM, and a $7.1 billion loan
to GM ($6.7 billion through AIFP and $360.6 million through AWCP). As part
of a credit agreement with Treasury, $16.4 billion in TARP funds were placed
in an escrow account that GM could access only with Treasury’s permission.612
Treasury also holds an administrative claim in the company’s bankruptcy with an
outstanding principal amount of approximately $826.9 million. However, according
to Treasury, it does not expect to recover any significant additional proceeds from
this claim.613
Debt Repayments

As of September 30, 2013, GM had made approximately $756.7 million in
dividend and interest payments to Treasury under AIFP.614 GM repaid the $6.7
billion loan provided through AIFP with interest, using a portion of the escrow
account that had been funded with TARP funds. What remained in escrow was
released to GM with the final debt payment by GM.615
Sales of GM Stock

In November and December 2010, GM successfully completed an initial public
offering (“IPO”) in which GM’s shareholders sold 549.7 million shares of common
stock and 100 million shares of Series B mandatorily convertible preferred shares
(“MCP”) for total gross proceeds of $23.1 billion.616 As part of the IPO priced at
$33 per share, Treasury sold 412.3 million common shares for $13.5 billion in net
proceeds (after taking into account underwriting fees associated with the IPO),
reducing its number of common shares to 500.1 million and its ownership in GM
from 61% to 33%.617 On December 15, 2010, GM repurchased Treasury’s Series A
preferred stock (83.9 million shares) for total proceeds of $2.1 billion and a capital
gain to Treasury of approximately $41.9 million.618 On January 13, 2011, Treasury’s
ownership in GM was diluted from 33% to 32% as a result of GM contributing 61
million of its common shares to fund GM’s hourly and salaried pension plans.619
Since then, Treasury has continued to sell GM stock, both directly to GM and
in the public markets. On December 21, 2012, Treasury sold 200 million common
shares to GM at $27.50 per share, for total proceeds of $5.5 billion.620 According to
Treasury, the stock sale was the first step in a plan to fully exit its GM investment
by early 2014.621 As part of the transaction, Treasury agreed, among other things, to
waive previously required reports from GM on its liquidity and budget and to drop
a ban on GM owning private aircraft for its executives’ use.622 GM said it would
take a charge of approximately $400 million for the share buyback.623 On January
18, 2013, Treasury announced the initiation of the first of several pre-arranged
written trading plans in conjunction with the divestment of its remaining shares.624
Under the first trading plan, which expired April 17, 2013, Treasury sold 58.4
million shares at an average price of $28.05 per share, for total proceeds of $1.6

billion.625 On May 6, 2013, Treasury announced a second pre-arranged written
trading plan that ended on September 13, 2013.626 Under that plan, Treasury sold
110.3 million shares at an average price of $34.65 per share, for total proceeds of
$3.8 billion.627 On September 26, 2013, Treasury announced that it had begun a
third pre-arranged trading plan, which it expects to end on or around December
20, 2013.628 In addition to the trading plans, on June 6, 2013, Treasury sold 30
million shares of common stock at $34.41 per share in a public equity offering that
raised $1 billion.629 As of September 26, 2013, at the commencement of the third
trading plan, Treasury held 101.3 million shares, or 7.3% of GM’s common stock
outstanding.630
Taxpayers have realized losses from an accounting standpoint of $9.7 billion on
all GM common shares sold from November 2010 through September 13, 2013,
the end of the second pre-arranged trading plan, according to Treasury.631 The
losses are due to Treasury’s sales of GM common shares at prices below its cost
basis of $43.52 per share. Table 2.49 summarizes Treasury’s sales of GM stock.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Treasury owned 101.3 million common shares of GM stock as of September
26, 2013, a total that did not change from the completion of the second trading
plan on September 13, 2013.632 In order to recoup its total investment in GM,
Treasury will need to recover an additional $15 billion in proceeds from future
stock sales.633 This translates to an average of $147.95 per share on its remaining
common shares in GM at that point in time, not taking into account dividend
and interest payments received from GM.634 The break-even price — $147.95
per share — is calculated by dividing the $15 billion (the amount that remained
outstanding to Treasury as of September 30, 2013) by the 101.3 million remaining
common shares owned by Treasury on that date. If the $756.7 million in dividends
and interest received by Treasury as of September 30, 2013, is included in this
computation, then Treasury will need to recover $14.2 billion in proceeds, which
translates into a break-even price of $140.48 per share, not taking into account
other fees or costs associated with selling the shares.
Other GM shareholders that participated in the 2009 auto bailout have also
announced recent sales. On September 10, 2013, the governments of Canada and
of Ontario sold a block of 30 million shares of General Motors common stock they
had purchased as part of GM’s bailout. Following the sale, the governments will
still hold 110 million shares of GM.635 Separately, on September 23, 2013, GM
announced it would buy back about $3.2 billion (120 million shares) of preferred
stock from the United Auto Workers (“UAW”) Retiree Medical Benefits Trust.636
The UAW trust also sold 20 million shares of its GM common stock in conjunction
with the June 6, 2013, Treasury public offering.637

Ally Financial, formerly known as GMAC
Ally Financial is still in TARP and taxpayers are owed $14.6 billion for the TARP
investment in it. In return for its investment, as of September 30, 2013, Treasury
holds approximately 74% of Ally Financial’s common stock and $5.9 billion worth
of mandatorily convertible preferred shares (“MCP). As of September 30, 2013,
Ally Financial had made one principal payment of $2.5 billion to Treasury since
receiving bailout assistance almost five years ago. The company also has paid a
total of $3.5 billion in quarterly dividends to Treasury through September 30,
2013, as required by the terms of the preferred stock that Ally Financial issued to
Treasury.638
Ally Financial received $17.2 billion in three separate injections of TARP funds.
On December 29, 2008, Treasury purchased $5 billion in senior preferred equity
from GMAC and received an additional $250 million in preferred shares through
warrants that Treasury exercised immediately at a cost of $2,500.639 In January
2009, Treasury loaned GM $884 million to invest in GMAC.640 In May 2009,
Treasury exchanged this $884 million debt for a 35% common equity ownership in
GMAC.641 On May 21, 2009, Treasury made an additional investment in GMAC
when it purchased $7.5 billion of MCP and received warrants that Treasury immediately exercised for an additional $375 million in MCP at an additional cost of
approximately $75,000.642 On December 30, 2009, Treasury invested another $3.8
billion in GMAC, and Treasury received $2.5 billion in trust preferred securities

(“TRUPS”) and $1.3 billion in MCP. Treasury also received warrants, which were
immediately exercised, to purchase an additional $127 million in TRUPS and
$62.5 million in MCP at an additional cost of approximately $1,270 and $12,500,
respectively.643 Additionally, Treasury converted $3 billion of its MCP into GMAC
common stock, increasing its common equity ownership from 35% to 56%.644 On
May 10, 2010, GMAC changed its name to Ally Financial Inc.645
On December 30, 2010, Treasury announced the conversion of $5.5 billion
of its MCP in Ally Financial to common equity, increasing Treasury’s ownership
stake in Ally Financial’s common equity from 56% to 74%.646 On March 7, 2011,
Treasury sold its $2.7 billion in TRUPS in Ally Financial in a public offering, resulting in a $2.5 billion principal repayment to Treasury.647 As of September 30, 2013,
no other principal repayments have been made.
As a result of its conversion of MCP to common stock in Ally Financial, and
for as long as Treasury maintains common equity ownership at or above 70.8%,
Treasury can appoint six of the 11 directors on Ally Financial’s board.648 Treasury
completed the initial round of appointments to its six new board seats in August
2012, and since then has replaced two of those appointees.649
The conversion of $5.5 billion of Treasury’s MCP diluted the shares of other
existing shareholders in Ally Financial. Following the conversion, the private equity
firm Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”) held 8.7%, third-party investors collectively held 7.6%, an independently managed trust owned by GM held
5.9%, and GM directly held a 4% stake in Ally Financial’s common equity.650 GM’s
interests have since been consolidated in the trust. Figure 2.17 shows the breakdown of common equity ownership in Ally Financial as of September 30, 2013.
Ally Financial Announces Stock Sale and Plan to Repurchase Securities from
Treasury

On August 20, 2013, Ally Financial announced two transactions that it said would
reduce Treasury’s stake in the company.651 In one transaction, Ally Financial said
it had agreed to a private placement of 166,667 shares of its common stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $1 billion. In the other transaction, Ally Financial said
it had agreed to repurchase from Treasury all of its MCP and also to terminate
Treasury’s existing share adjustment right associated with those shares.652 Ally said
it will pay Treasury $5.2 billion to repurchase $5.938 billion par value of MCP,
plus a payment of $725 million to terminate the share adjustment right.653 The
transactions, which are scheduled to close by November 30, 2013, are subject to
conditions including the Federal Reserve not objecting to Ally Financial’s capital
plan.654
According to Treasury, under new agreements associated with these transactions, Treasury would have the right to designate a majority of the Ally Financial
Board of Directors as long as its ownership stake exceeds 50%.655
Proposed Ally Financial IPO

On March 31, 2011, Ally Financial filed a Form S-1 Registration statement for
an IPO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).656 The document

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

includes a prospectus relating to the issuance of Ally Financial common stock.657
The prospectus also outlines certain aspects of Ally Financial’s business operations
and risks facing the company.658
Ally Financial stated that the proposed IPO would consist of “common stock
to be sold by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.”659 Ally Financial has disclosed
additional details about its proposed IPO in several amended Form S-1 Registration
statements filed over time with the SEC, the most recent on July 9, 2013.660
Ally Financial Subsidiary Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Relief

On May 14, 2012, Ally Financial announced that its mortgage subsidiary,
Residential Capital, LLC, and certain of its subsidiaries (“ResCap”) filed for
bankruptcy court relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and that
it was exploring strategic alternatives for its international operations.661 As a result
of the Chapter 11 filing, Ally Financial said that it deconsolidated ResCap from
its financial statements and wrote down its equity interest in ResCap to zero.662
On June 26, 2013, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved Ally Financial’s proposed
settlement to pay $2.1 billion to the ResCap estate for release from certain
mortgage claims and liabilities.663 As part of the settlement, ResCap on June 13,
2013, fully repaid Ally Financial’s secured claim for $1.13 billion owed under
existing credit facilities.664 Ally Financial recorded a charge of about $1.6 billion
in the second quarter of 2013 related to the settlement, and said it would make
its settlement payment to the ResCap estate in the fourth quarter of 2013 on the
effective date of the reorganization plan, pending court approval.665
Ally Financial Agrees to Sell International, Other Assets

On November 21, 2012, Ally Financial announced it had reached agreements
to sell its remaining international assets over time for $9.2 billion in proceeds.
According to Ally Financial, that included the sale of most of its operations in
Europe and Latin America to GM Financial Company, Inc. (“GM Financial”), and
a 40% stake in a joint venture in China. From this, Ally Financial received $2.6
billion in total proceeds.666 In June, 2013, Ally Financial said it completed the sale
of its business in France, and on October 1, 2013, it said it completed the sale of
its Brazil operations to GM Financial for $611 million.667 Ally Financial also has
said it expects the sale of a joint venture stake in China to close later in 2013 or
2014.668 In addition, it sold its Canadian auto finance operation to Royal Bank
of Canada for $4.1 billion and its Mexican insurance business to ACE Group
for $865 million, in sales completed on February 1, 2013, and May 2, 2013,
respectively.669 Additionally, Ally Financial’s subsidiary, Ally Bank, announced in
March 2013 that it agreed to sell its entire agency mortgage servicing rights to
Ocwen Financial and Quicken Loans.670 Both sales were completed on April 17,
2013, according to Ally Bank, which said it received a combined $850 million
in proceeds from the transactions.671 Table 2.50 summarizes Ally Financial’s
international and domestic asset sales in 2013.

Chrysler
Chrysler is no longer in TARP and taxpayers suffered a $2.9 billion loss on
the TARP investment in Chrysler. Through October 3, 2010, Treasury made
approximately $12.5 billion available to Chrysler directly through AIFP in three
stages: $4 billion before bankruptcy to CGI Holding LLC, which was the parent
of Chrysler and Chrysler Financial; $1.9 billion in financing to Chrysler during
bankruptcy; and $6.6 billion to Chrysler afterwards.672 In exchange, Treasury
received 10% of the common equity in Chrysler.
On April 30, 2010, following the bankruptcy court’s approval of the plan
of liquidation for Chrysler, the $1.9 billion loan was extinguished without
repayment. In return, Treasury retained the right to recover proceeds from the
sale of assets that were collateral for the loan from the liquidation of Chrysler
assets.673 According to Treasury, it is unlikely to fully recover its initial investment
of approximately $1.9 billion related to the loan.674 As of September 30, 2013,
Treasury had recovered approximately $57.4 million from asset sales during
bankruptcy.675 Of the $4 billion lent to Chrysler’s parent company, CGI Holding
LLC, before bankruptcy, $500 million of the debt was assumed by Chrysler while
the remaining $3.5 billion was held by CGI Holding LLC.676 Under the terms
of this loan agreement, as amended on July 23, 2009, Treasury was entitled to
the greater of approximately $1.4 billion or 40% of any proceeds that Chrysler
Financial paid to its parent company, CGI Holding LLC, after certain other

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

distributions were made.677 On May 14, 2010, Treasury accepted $1.9 billion in full
satisfaction of its $3.5 billion loan to CGI Holding LLC.678
On May 24, 2011, Chrysler used the proceeds from a series of refinancing
transactions and an equity call option exercised by Fiat North America LLC (“Fiat”)
to repay the loans from Treasury and the Canadian government.679 The repaid loans
were made up of $6.6 billion in post-bankruptcy financing (of which $2.1 billion
was never drawn down), and the $500 million in debt assumed by Chrysler.680
Treasury terminated Chrysler’s ability to draw the remaining $2.1 billion TARP
loan.681
Over time, Fiat increased its ownership of Chrysler. On July 21, 2011, Treasury
sold to Fiat for $500 million Treasury’s remaining equity ownership interest in
Chrysler. Treasury also sold to Fiat for $60 million Treasury’s rights to receive proceeds under an agreement with the United Auto Workers retiree trust pertaining to
the trust’s shares in Chrysler.682
As of July 21, 2011, the Chrysler entities had made approximately $1.2 billion
in interest payments to Treasury under AIFP.683

Chrysler Financial
Chrysler Financial is no longer in TARP, having fully repaid the TARP investment.
In January 2009, Treasury loaned Chrysler Financial $1.5 billion under AIFP to
support Chrysler Financial’s retail lending. On July 14, 2009, Chrysler Financial
fully repaid the loan in addition to approximately $7.4 million in interest
payments.684 In connection with the $3.5 billion pre-bankruptcy loan remaining
with CGI Holding LLC, the parent company of Chrysler (the bankrupt entity)
and Chrysler Financial, Treasury was entitled to the greater of approximately $1.4
billion or 40% of any proceeds that Chrysler Financial paid to its parent company,
CGI Holding LLC, after certain other distributions were made.685 On May 14,
2010, Treasury accepted $1.9 billion in full satisfaction of its $3.5 billion loan
to CGI Holding LLC, thereby relinquishing any interest in or claim on Chrysler
Financial.686 Seven months later, on December 21, 2010, TD Bank Group
announced that it had agreed to purchase Chrysler Financial from Cerberus, the
owner of CGI Holding LLC, for approximately $6.3 billion.687 TD Bank Group
completed its acquisition of Chrysler Financial on April 1, 2011, and has rebranded
Chrysler Financial under the TD Auto Finance brand.688

Auto Supplier Support Program (“ASSP”)
On March 19, 2009, Treasury announced a commitment of $5 billion to
ASSP to “help stabilize the automotive supply base and restore credit flows in a
critical sector of the American economy.”689 Because of concerns about the auto
manufacturers’ ability to pay their invoices, suppliers had not been able to borrow
from banks by using their receivables as collateral. ASSP enabled automotive parts
suppliers to access Government-backed protection for money owed to them for the
products they shipped to manufacturers. Under the program, Treasury made loans
for GM ($290 million) and Chrysler ($123.1 million) that were fully repaid in April
2010.690

190

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

INTRODUCTIONi

More than three years ago, in February 2010, in an attempt to help families in
places hurt the most by the housing crisis, the Administration launched the TARPfunded Housing Finance Agency Innovation Fund for the Hardest Hit Housing
Markets (“Hardest Hit Fund” or “HHF”).694 The Administration announced that
TARP funds would be used for “innovative measures to help families in the states
that have been hit the hardest by the aftermath of the housing bubble.”695 This
TARP-funded housing support program was to be developed and administered by
state housing finance agencies (“HFAs”) with Treasury’s approval and oversight.696,ii
Treasury allocated $7.6 billion in TARP funds for the HHF program and, through
four rounds of funding in 2010, obligated these TARP funds to 18 states and
the District of Columbia (“states”) – those states that Treasury deemed to have
significant home price declines and high unemployment rates.697
Treasury approved each of the 19 states’ initial program proposals and approves
any proposed changes to programs.698 These proposals include estimates of the
number of homeowners to be helped through each program (some states have
more than one program).699 However, as SIGTARP reported in its April 12, 2012,
audit “Factors Affecting Implementation of the Hardest Hit Fund Program,” “This
number has limited usefulness because states can, and have, changed estimates,
creating a shifting baseline that makes it difficult to measure performance
against expectations. The states’ estimated number of homeowners to be assisted
by HHF has steadily decreased over the last year.” For that reason, in the April
2012 audit, SIGTARP recommended that Treasury: (1) set meaningful and
measurable performance goals for the Hardest Hit Fund program including, at a
minimum, the number of homeowners Treasury estimates will be helped by the
program, and measure the program’s progress against those goals; and (2) instruct
state housing finance agencies in the Hardest Hit Fund to set meaningful and
measurable overarching and interim performance goals with appropriate metrics to
measure progress for their individual state programs. Treasury rejected SIGTARP’s
recommendations. As a result, the baseline has shifted such that Treasury has
allowed the states to significantly decrease the number of homeowners that they
anticipate will get help from TARP-funded HHF.700 In other words, rather than fix
the problem that SIGTARP warned Treasury about in its audit, Treasury allowed
the problem to get worse. Rather than following SIGTARP’s recommendations,
which were designed to make Treasury and states set goals and work hard to
achieve those goals, Treasury is refusing to hold itself or the states accountable to
any goal of the number of homeowners to be assisted in HHF, and the result has
been that the program is reaching far fewer homeowners than the states expected
in 2011.

 IGTARP is issuing this report under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. It is not an audit or evaluation under the Inspector

General Act of 1978 as amended.
ii Participating HFAs in HHF are from: Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi,

Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington, DC. As of June 30,
2013, there were 63 active HHF programs run by the 19 state HFAs. According to Treasury, Illinois and Rhode Island are no longer
accepting applications for assistance from homeowners because they determined that their allocated HHF funds would be spent on
homeowners who already have been approved for HHF assistance.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

For more information on HHF,
see SIGTARP’s April 12, 2012,
audit report, “Factors Affecting
Implementation of the Hardest Hit
Fund Program.”

At the peak estimate, made in the first few months of 2011, the states
collectively estimated that they would help as many as 546,562 homeowners with
HHF.701 Since then, with Treasury’s approval, states have changed their programs
(including reducing the estimated number of homeowners to be helped), cancelled
programs, and started new programs.702 The states now estimate helping 33%
fewer homeowners than they estimated in 2011. As of June 30, 2013, the states
estimated helping as many as 367,290 homeowners with HHF, which is 179,272
fewer homeowners than the states estimated helping with HHF in 2011.703
Importantly, the states collectively estimate that HHF will help 367,290
homeowners but fail to take into account that when states report program
participation numbers, homeowners may be double counted when they receive
assistance from multiple HHF programs offered in their state (14 states have
more than one program). For example, a homeowner may have lost his job, missed
three months of mortgage payments, and then sought help from his state. This
homeowner might be qualified to receive assistance from two HHF programs
offered by his state, one that could help him make up missed mortgage payments,
and a second that could help him pay his future mortgage payments while he seeks
new employment. Treasury requires states to estimate the number of people who
will participate in each of their programs, and then report the number who actually
participate in each program.704 It also requires them to report the total number
of individual homeowners assisted, which is lower than the reported program
participation numbers when homeowners have participated in more than one
program offered by their state.705
As of June 30, 2013, the latest data available, in aggregate, after nearly
three and a half years, states had spent 22% ($1.7 billion) of the $7.6 billion in
TARP funds that Treasury allocated for the HHF program to provide assistance
to 146,356 program participants (which translates to 126,858 individual
homeowners), or 27% of the number of homeowners the states anticipated helping
with HHF in 2011.706,iii

STATES HAVE SPENT 22% OF TARP FUNDS
AVAILABLE FOR HHF ON ASSISTANCE FOR
STRUGGLING HOMEOWNERS

Of the $7.6 billion in TARP funds available for HHF, states collectively had drawn
down $2.7 billion (35%) as of June 30, 2013.707 However, not all of that has been
spent on direct assistance to homeowners. States have spent $1.7 billion (22%
of the $7.6 billion) to assist 126,858 individual homeowners. States have spent
the rest of the funds on administrative expenses or hold the money as cash-onhand. States have spent $308.5 million (4%) on administrative expenses; and held
iii According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in HHF
programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they capture
and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner assistance,

$719.7 million (9%) as unspent cash-on-hand, as of June 30, 2013, the latest data
available.708 There remains $4.9 billion (65%) in undrawn funds available for HHF,
as of June 30, 2013.709 Treasury allows states to reallocate funds between programs
and modify existing programs as needed, with Treasury approval, until December
31, 2017.710 After this date, states must return unused funds to Treasury.711
As of June 30, 2013, 86.9% of the HHF assistance received by homeowners
was for unemployment assistance, including past-due payment assistance.712 As
SIGTARP found in its April 2012 audit, these were the only types of assistance
for which the Government-sponsored enterprises (“GSE”s) previously directed
servicers to participate. The remaining assistance can be broken down to 12.5% for
mortgage modification, including principal reduction assistance, 0.4% for secondlien reduction assistance, and 0.2% for transition assistance.713 States had not spent
any funds on demolition programs as of June 30, 2013.714
Figure 3.1 shows state uses of TARP funds obligated for HHF by percent, as of

Notes: According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to
participate in HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when
and how they capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously
as homeowner assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds. States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance
reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold
additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances, cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction
recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial payments made. State spending figures as of June 30,
2013, are the most recent available; Treasury has separately published September 30, 2013, figures for amounts drawn down;
as of September 30, 2013, states have drawn down $2.9 billion.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

TREASURY HAS NEVER SET A GOAL OF HOW
MANY HOMEOWNERS IT WILL HELP WITH HHF
OR REQUIRED THAT STATES SET A GOAL,
INSTEAD APPROVING MOST STATES’ SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTIONS OF ESTIMATES OF THE NUMBER OF
HOMEOWNERS TO BE HELPED

Treasury has never set a goal of how many homeowners Treasury will help with
HHF, rejecting SIGTARP’s recommendation that Treasury set such a goal.
Treasury has also not required states participating in HHF to set a goal of how
many homeowners they will help with HHF, rejecting SIGTARP’s recommendation
that Treasury require that each state set such a goal. Instead, Treasury required
states to estimate the number of homeowners who will participate in each of its
programs.715 However, as SIGTARP reported in its April 2012 audit, “this number
has limited usefulness.” With Treasury’s approval, states can modify programs,
cancel programs, introduce new programs, and change the estimate of how many
homeowners will participate in each of their programs, creating a shifting baseline
that makes it difficult to measure performance against expectations.716 Most states
have made many changes to programs and the estimated number of homeowners
to be helped. Fourteen HHF states have reduced their estimates, most of them
significantly, of how many homeowners they will help using TARP’s HHF
program.717 In the beginning of 2011, states collectively estimated that they would
help 546,562 homeowners with HHF. As of June 30, 2013, the states estimated
helping 367,290 homeowners with HHF, which is 179,172 fewer homeowners
than the states estimated helping with HHF in 2011.
As of June 30, 2013, the states reported that 146,356 homeowners participated
in HHF programs.718 However, because homeowners may participate in more than
one program, the reported program participation numbers are higher than the
total number of individual homeowners assisted. According to Treasury, 126,858
individual homeowners participated in HHF programs.719
Figure 3.2 shows, in the aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated
to participate in HHF programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of June
30, 2013.iv


iv Program participation and homeowners assisted data does not take into account the status of the mortgage (i.e., active, delinquent, in
foreclosure, foreclosed, or sold) of homeowners who received TARP-funded HHF assistance.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

TREASURY HAS REJECTED ALL OF SIGTARP’S
2012 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HHF

In April 2012, SIGTARP issued an audit report, “Factors Affecting Implementation
of the Hardest Hit Fund Program.”720 SIGTARP reviewed Treasury’s administration
of the HHF program and issued five recommendations to Treasury:
1. Treasury should set meaningful and measurable performance goals for
the Hardest Hit Fund program including, at a minimum, the number of
homeowners Treasury estimates will be helped by the program, and measure the
program’s progress against those goals.
2. Treasury should instruct state housing finance agencies in the Hardest Hit Fund
to set meaningful and measurable overarching and interim performance goals
with appropriate metrics to measure progress for their individual state programs.
3. Treasury should set milestones at which the state housing finance agencies in
the Hardest Hit Fund must review the progress of individual state programs and
make program adjustments from this review.
4. Treasury should publish on its website and in the Housing Scorecard on a
quarterly basis the total number of homeowners assisted, funds drawn down
by states, and dollars expended for assistance to homeowners, assistance
committed to homeowners, and cash on hand, aggregated by all state Hardest
Hit Fund programs.
5. Treasury should develop an action plan for the Hardest Hit Fund that includes
steps to increase the numbers of homeowners assisted and to gain industry
support for Treasury-approved HHF programs. Treasury should set interim
metrics for how many homeowners it intends to assist in a Treasury-defined
time period in each particular program (such as principal reduction, secondlien reduction, or reinstatement). If Treasury cannot achieve the desired level
of homeowners assisted in any one program area in the defined time period,
Treasury should put the funds to better use toward programs that are reaching
homeowners.
Treasury has rejected SIGTARP’s important recommendations. Treasury’s
failure to set meaningful goals and metrics to identify program successes and
failures results in a lack of accountability on both the part of Treasury and the
19 HHF states. Treasury’s failure to implement these recommendations harms
oversight, reducing Treasury’s ability to identify and assess weaknesses in a timely
manner and bring prompter corrective changes.
It is important that Treasury fulfill its role as steward over TARP programs,
make determinations of which programs are successful and which programs are
not working and ensure that HHF funds are reaching homeowners. This may
include putting the funds toward programs that are more successful at reaching
homeowners. Treasury approved the states’ HHF programs and estimates, and
Treasury should take steps to ensure that states meet these estimates, rather than
decrease the estimates, lowering the bar for successful performance. It is also

197

198

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

unacceptable to delegate all of this responsibility to the states. Treasury should
create its own goals for HHF, including the number of homeowners it estimates
helping with HHF.
Treasury should fully implement SIGTARP’s recommendations, and by not
doing so, Treasury has allowed the states to decrease the number of homeowners
that HHF expects to help.

THE MAJORITY OF STATES HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY
REDUCED THEIR ESTIMATES OF HOW MANY
HOMEOWNERS THEY WILL HELP THROUGH HHF
For more on SIGTARP’s 2012
recommendations, see:
• SIGTARP’s audit report, “Factors
Affecting Implementation of the
Hardest Hit Fund Program,” April
12, 2012.
• SIGTARP Quarterly Report, July
2012, pages 183-185.

Of the 19 states participating in HHF, over time 14 have reduced their estimates
from their peak estimates of how many homeowners will participate in HHF,
most of them significantly. Four states have not reduced their estimates: Georgia,
Mississippi, New Jersey, and North Carolina. One state, Oregon, increased its
estimate. However, these five states represented only 12% of the peak collective
estimate during the first few months of 2011, and only 18% of the collective
estimate as of June 30, 2013.
Collectively, as of June 30, 2013, the states have spent $1.7 billion on direct
assistance to homeowners, or 22% of the $7.6 billion in TARP funds obligated to
HHF.721,v Of the 19 HHF states, Rhode Island has spent the highest percentage,
56%, of its obligated funds on homeowner assistance. Indiana has spent the lowest
percentage, 8%. In addition to Indiana, seven other states have spent less than
22% of their obligated funds on assistance to homeowners: Alabama, Arizona,
California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Mississippi. For each of the states, the
following pages review estimates of program participation and reported numbers
of homeowners who have been assisted, as well as expenditures compared with
obligated funds.
According to Treasury, two states that received TARP funds for HHF, Illinois
and Rhode Island, have stopped accepting new applications from struggling
homeowners seeking help from their HHF programs.722,vi Rhode Island stopped
accepting applications after January 31, 2013.723 Illinois stopped accepting
applications after September 30, 2013.724

v According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in HHF
programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they capture
and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner assistance,
cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
vi According to Treasury, Illinois and Rhode Island are no longer accepting applications for assistance from homeowners because they
determined that their allocated HHF funds would be spent on homeowners who already have been approved for HHF assistance.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Alabama has spent 13% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $162,521,345 of HHF funds to Alabama, Alabama
is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help homeowners
with HHF.725 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $28 million (17%)
of those funds.726 As of June 30, 2013, the state had three HHF programs and
had spent $20.9 million (13% of its obligated funds) to help 2,741 individual
homeowners.727,vii The remaining $5 million (3%) was spent on administrative
expenses, and $2 million (1%) is held as cash-on-hand.728,viii
At the end of 2010, Alabama estimated that it would help as many as 13,500
homeowners with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, reduced that peak estimate by
57%, to 5,800.
At the end of 2010, Alabama estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to 13,500 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Alabama
lowered that peak estimate to 3,100 homeowners and has helped 2,741
homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance.
In 2013, Alabama introduced two additional HHF programs: one to modify
mortgages for an estimated 1,200 homeowners, and one to provide HHF
transition assistance to an estimated 1,500 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, no
homeowners had been helped by Alabama under these new HHF programs.
Figure 3.3 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in Alabama’s programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Figure 3.4 shows Alabama’s HHF expenditures compared with its
obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure 3.5 shows the number of homeowners
estimated to participate in each of Alabama’s programs (estimated program
participation) and the reported number of homeowners who participated in each of
Alabama’s programs (program participation), as of June 30, 2013.

vii A
 ccording to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in HHF
programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they capture
and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner assistance,
cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
viii S
 tates do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances,
cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial payments
made.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Arizona has spent 11% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $267,766,006 of HHF funds to Arizona, Arizona
is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help homeowners
with HHF.729 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $91.8 million (34%)
of those funds.730 As of June 30, 2013, the state had four HHF programs and
had spent $30.3 million (11% of its obligated funds) to help 1,916 individual
homeowners.731,ix The remaining $9.6 million (4%) was spent on administrative
expenses, and $51.9 million (19%) is held as cash-on-hand.732,x
At the end of 2010, Arizona estimated that it would help as many as 11,959
homeowners with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, had reduced that peak estimate
by 46%, to 6,507.
At the end of 2010, Arizona estimated that it would modify mortgages with
HHF principal reduction assistance for as many as 7,227 homeowners. As of
June 30, 2013, Arizona had reduced that peak estimate to modify mortgages with
HHF principal reduction assistance for 1,849 homeowners and had modified 313
homeowners’ mortgages.
In mid-2010, Arizona estimated that it would provide HHF second-lien
reduction assistance to 1,875 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Arizona lowered
that peak estimate to 180 homeowners and provided 59 homeowners with HHF
second-lien reduction assistance.
In mid-2010, Arizona estimated that it would provide HHF unemployment
assistance to 1,428 homeowners, but as of June 30, 2013, Arizona had increased
that estimate to a peak estimate of 4,140, and has helped 1,564 homeowners with
HHF unemployment assistance.
In mid-2011, Arizona estimated that it would provide HHF transition assistance
to 1,200 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Arizona lowered that peak estimate to
338 homeowners and provided 59 homeowners with HHF transition assistance.
Figure 3.6 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in Arizona’s programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Because homeowners may participate in more than one program,
the reported program participation numbers are higher than the total number of
individual homeowners assisted. Figure 3.7 shows Arizona’s HHF expenditures
compared with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure 3.8 shows the
number of homeowners estimated to participate in each of Arizona’s programs
(estimated program participation) and the reported number of homeowners who
participated in each of Arizona’s programs (program participation), as of June 30,
2013.
ix According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in HHF
programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they capture
and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner assistance,
cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
x States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances,
cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial payments
made.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

California has spent 19% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $1,975,334,096 of HHF funds to California,
California is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to
help homeowners with HHF.733 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down
$717.5 million (36%) of those funds.734 As of June 30, 2013, the state had seven
HHF programs and had spent $381.6 (19% of its obligated funds) to help 26,242
individual homeowners.735,xi The remaining $57.8 million (3%) was spent on
administrative expenses, and $278 million (14%) is held as cash-on-hand.736,xii
At the end of 2010, California estimated that it would help as many as 101,337
homeowners with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, had reduced that peak estimate
by 30%, to 70,914.
At the end of 2010, California estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to as many as 60,531 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013,
California had lowered that peak estimate to 52,021 homeowners and has helped
21,522 homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance.
In mid-2010, California estimated that it would provide HHF past-due payment
assistance to 17,293 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, California lowered
that peak estimate to 8,830 homeowners and provided HHF past-due payment
assistance to 3,695 homeowners.
California has two HHF programs to modify homeowners’ mortgages with HHF
principal reduction assistance: for one California estimated, at the end of 2010,
that it would modify mortgages for 25,135 homeowners; and for the other, in mid2011, California estimated that it would modify mortgages for 166 homeowners.
As of June 30, 2013, California lowered the peak estimate for its first program to
8,976 homeowners and had modified mortgages for 1,708 homeowners; California
had not modified any mortgages with HHF principal reduction for homeowners
under its second program.
As of June 30, 2013, California estimated that it would provide HHF secondlien, principal reduction assistance to as many as 370 homeowners and helped 25
homeowners.
California has two HHF programs to provide HHF transition assistance to
homeowners: for one, in mid-2010, California estimated that it would provide
HHF transition assistance to 6,471 homeowners; and for the other, in mid2011, California estimated that it would provide HHF transition assistance to 91
homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, California lowered its peak estimate for the first
program to 460 and provided 309 homeowners with HHF transition assistance;
California had not provided any homeowners with HHF transition assistance under
its second program.
Figure 3.9 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to

participate in California’s programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Because homeowners may participate in more than one program,
the reported program participation numbers are higher than the total number of
individual homeowners assisted. Figure 3.10 shows California’s HHF expenditures
compared with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure 3.11 shows the
number of homeowners estimated to participate in each of California’s programs
(estimated program participation) and the reported number of homeowners who
participated in each of California’s programs (program participation), as of

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Florida has spent 13% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $1,057,839,136 of HHF funds to Florida, Florida
is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help homeowners
with HHF.737 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $231.3 million (22%)
of those funds.738 As of June 30, 2013, the state had three HHF programs and
had spent $132.9 million (13% of its obligated funds) to help 9,745 individual
homeowners.739,xiii The remaining $27.6 million (3%) was spent on administrative
expenses, and $70.7 million (7%) is held as cash-on-hand.740,xiv
At the start of 2011, Florida estimated that it would help as many as 106,000
homeowners with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, had reduced that peak estimate
by 14%, to 91,500.
At the start of 2011, Florida estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to 53,000 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Florida
lowered that peak estimate to 45,000 homeowners and has helped 8,760
homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance.
At the start of 2011, Florida estimated that it would provide HHF past-due
payment assistance to 53,000 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Florida lowered
that peak estimate to 45,000 homeowners and provided HHF past-due payment
assistance to 7,334 homeowners.
In mid-2013, Florida introduced a new program to modify mortgages for an
estimated 1,500 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, no homeowners had been
helped under this new HHF program.
Figure 3.12 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in Florida’s programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Because homeowners may participate in more than one program,
the reported program participation numbers are higher than the total number of
individual homeowners assisted. Figure 3.13 shows Florida’s HHF expenditures
compared with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure 3.14 shows the
number of homeowners estimated to participate in each of Florida’s programs
(estimated program participation) and the reported number of homeowners who
participated in each of Florida’s programs (program participation), as of June 30,
2013.

 ccording to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in HHF
programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they capture
and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner assistance,
cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xiv States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances,

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Georgia has spent 13% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $339,255,819 of HHF funds to Georgia, Georgia
is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help homeowners
with HHF.741 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $77.5 million
(23%) of those funds.742 As of June 30, 2013, the state had one HHF program
and had spent $42.9 million (13% of its obligated funds) to help 3,552 individual
homeowners.743,xv The remaining $11 million (3%) was spent on administrative
expenses, and $23.7 million (7%) is held as cash-on-hand.744,xvi
Since the end of 2010, Georgia estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to as many as 18,300 homeowners and had helped 3,552
homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance, as of June 30, 2013.
Figure 3.15 shows the number of homeowners estimated to participate in
Georgia’s program and the number of homeowners who have been assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Figure 3.16 shows Georgia’s HHF expenditures compared with its
obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013.

xv According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in HHF
programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they capture
and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner assistance,
cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xvi States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances,
cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial payments
made.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Illinois has spent 32% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $445,603,557 of HHF funds to Illinois, Illinois is
not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help homeowners
with HHF.745 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $210 million (47%)
of those funds.746 As of June 30, 2013, the state had three HHF programs and
had spent $144.7 million (32% of its obligated funds) to help 8,838 individual
homeowners.747,xvii The remaining $19.8 million (4%) was spent on administrative
expenses, and $45.5 million (10%) is held as cash-on-hand.748,xviii Illinois stopped
accepting new applications from struggling homeowners seeking help from their
HHF programs submitted after September 30, 2013.749,xix
In mid-2011, Illinois estimated that it would help as many as 29,000
homeowners with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, reduced that peak estimate by
50%, to 14,500.
At the end of 2010, Illinois estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to 27,000 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Illinois
lowered that peak estimate to 12,000 homeowners and has helped 8,542
homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance.
Illinois has two HHF programs to modify homeowners’ mortgages: for
one Illinois estimated, in mid-2011, that it would modify mortgages for 2,000
homeowners; and for the other Illinois estimated, in mid-2012, that it would
modify mortgages for 500 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Illinois’s first program
modified mortgages for 209 homeowners, and its second program modified
mortgages for 90 homeowners.
Figure 3.17 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in Illinois’s programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Because homeowners may participate in more than one program,
the reported program participation numbers are higher than the total number of
individual homeowners assisted. Figure 3.18 shows Illinois’s HHF expenditures
compared with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure 3.19 shows the
number of homeowners estimated to participate in each of Illinois’s programs
(estimated program participation) and the reported number of homeowners who
participated in each of Illinois’s programs (program participation), as of June 30,
2013.

xvii According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they
capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xviii States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash
balances, cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial
payments made.
xix According to Treasury, Illinois is no longer accepting applications for assistance from homeowners because it determined that its
allocated HHF funds would be spent on homeowners who already have been approved for HHF assistance.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Indiana has spent 8% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $221,694,139 of HHF funds to Indiana, Indiana
is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help homeowners
with HHF.750 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $66.3 million
(30%) of those funds.751 As of June 30, 2013, the state had three HHF programs
and had spent $18.8 million (8% of its obligated funds) to help 1,859 individual
homeowners.752,xx The remaining $8.2 million (4%) was spent on administrative
expenses, and $39.4 million (18%) is held as cash-on-hand.753,xxi
At the start of 2011, Indiana estimated helping as many as 16,257 homeowners
with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, reduced that peak estimate by 38%, to 10,150.
At the start of 2011, Indiana estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to as many as 16,257 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013,
Indiana lowered that peak estimate to 8,000 homeowners and has helped 1,859
homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance.
Indiana introduced two additional HHF programs in 2013: for one Indiana
estimated that it would modify mortgages for 2,000 homeowners; and for the
other Indiana estimated that it would provide HHF transition assistance to 150
homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, no homeowners had been assisted under these
two HHF programs.
Figure 3.20 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in Indiana’s programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Figure 3.21 shows Indiana’s HHF expenditures compared with
its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure 3.22 shows the number of
homeowners estimated to participate in each of Indiana’s programs (estimated
program participation) and the reported number of homeowners who participated
in each of Indiana’s programs (program participation), as of June 30, 2013.

xx According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in HHF
programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they capture
and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner assistance,
cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xxi States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances,
cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial payments
made.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Kentucky has spent 28% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $148,901,875 of HHF funds to Kentucky,
Kentucky is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help
homeowners with HHF.754 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $64
million (43%) of those funds.755 As of June 30, 2013, the state had one HHF
program and had spent $41.4 million (28% of its obligated funds) to help 4,036
individual homeowners.756,xxii The remaining $7.6 million (5%) was spent on
administrative expenses, and $15 million (10%) is held as cash-on-hand.757,xxiii
At the end of 2010, Kentucky estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to as many as 15,000 homeowners but, as of June 30,
2013, reduced that peak estimate by 60%, to 5,960. As of June 30, 2013, Kentucky
had helped 4,036 homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance.
Figure 3.23 shows the number of homeowners estimated to participate in
Kentucky’s program and the number of homeowners who have been assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Figure 3.24 shows Kentucky’s HHF expenditures compared with its
obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013.

xxii According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they
capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xxiii States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash
balances, cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial
payments made.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Michigan has spent 17% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $498,605,738 of HHF funds to Michigan,
Michigan is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help
homeowners with HHF.758 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $109.8
million (22%) of those funds.759 As of June 30, 2013, the state had five HHF
programs and had spent $86 million (17% of its obligated funds) to help 12,706
individual homeowners.760,xxiv The remaining $14 million (3%) was spent on
administrative expenses, and $9.9 million (2%) is held as cash-on-hand.761,xxv
At the end of 2010, Michigan estimated that it would help as many as 49,422
homeowners with HHF, but, as of June 30, 2013, had reduced that peak estimate
by 77%, to 11,477.
Michigan has two HHF programs to modify homeowners’ mortgages: for one
Michigan estimated, in mid-2010, that it would modify mortgages with HHF
principal reduction assistance for 3,044 homeowners; and for the other, in mid2012, Michigan estimated that it would modify mortgages for 825 homeowners. As
of June 30, 2013, Michigan lowered the peak estimate for its first program to 300
homeowners and had modified mortgages with HHF principal reduction assistance
for 281 homeowners, and Michigan lowered the peak estimate for its second program to 295 homeowners and had modified mortgages for 39 homeowners.
At the end of 2010, Michigan estimated that it would provide HHF past-due
payment assistance to 21,760 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Michigan had
lowered that peak estimate to 6,600 homeowners and provided HHF past-due
payment assistance to 7,096 homeowners.
At the end of 2010, Michigan estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to as many as 24,618 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013,
Michigan had lowered that peak estimate to 4,282 homeowners and has helped
5,290 homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance.
In 2013, Michigan introduced a new HHF program to demolish vacant
properties with HHF funds but did not estimate the number of homeowners the
HHF program would help or report the number of homeowners that it has helped.
Figure 3.25 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in Michigan’s programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Figure 3.26 shows Michigan’s HHF expenditures compared
with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure 3.27 shows the number of
homeowners estimated to participate in each of Michigan’s programs (estimated
program participation) and the reported number of homeowners who participated
in each of Michigan’s programs (program participation), as of June 30, 2013.
xxiv According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they
capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xxv States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances,
cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial payments
made.

Mississippi has spent 16% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $101,888,323 of HHF funds to Mississippi,
Mississippi is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to
help homeowners with HHF.762 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down
$28.3 million (28%) of those funds.763 As of June 30, 2013, the state had one
HHF program and had spent $16.5 million (16% of its obligated funds) to help
1,516 individual homeowners.764,xxvi The remaining $4.8 million (5%) was spent on
administrative expenses, and $7 million (7%) is held as cash-on-hand.765,xxvii
Since the end of 2010, Mississippi estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to as many as 3,800 homeowners and had helped 1,516
homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance, as of June 30, 2013.
Figure 3.28 shows the number of homeowners estimated to participate in
Mississippi’s program and the number of homeowners who have been assisted, as
of June 30, 2013. Figure 3.29 shows Mississippi’s HHF expenditures compared
with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013.

xxvi According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Nevada has spent 36% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $194,026,240 of HHF funds to Nevada, Nevada
is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help homeowners
with HHF.766 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $98.8 million (51%)
of those funds.767 As of June 30, 2013, the state had five HHF programs and
had spent $69.9 million (36% of its obligated funds) to help 4,316 individual
homeowners.768,xxviii The remaining $9.1 million (5%) was spent on administrative
expenses, and $19.8 million (10%) is held as cash-on-hand.769,xxix
In mid-2011, Nevada estimated that it would help as many as 23,556
homeowners with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, reduced that peak estimate by
67%, to 7,766.
In mid-2011, Nevada estimated that it would modify mortgages with HHF
principal reduction assistance for 3,016 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Nevada
lowered that peak estimate to 2,354 homeowners and had modified mortgages for
1,120 homeowners with HHF principal reduction assistance.
At the end of 2010, Nevada estimated that it would provide HHF second-lien
reduction assistance to 2,200 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Nevada lowered
that peak estimate to 500 homeowners and provided 348 homeowners with HHF
second-lien reduction assistance.
In mid-2010, Nevada estimated that it would provide HHF transition assistance
to 1,713 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Nevada lowered that peak estimate to
200 homeowners and provided 101 homeowners with HHF transition assistance.
Nevada has two HHF programs to provide HHF unemployment assistance to
homeowners: for one Nevada estimated, at the end of 2010, that it would provide
16,969 homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance; and for the other
Nevada estimated, at the start of 2012, that it would provide 416 homeowners
with HHF unemployment assistance. As of June 30, 2013, Nevada lowered the
peak estimate for its first program to 4,545 homeowners and has helped 2,688
homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance, and it also lowered the peak
estimate for its second program to 167 and has helped 209 homeowners with HHF
unemployment assistance.
Figure 3.30 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in Nevada’s programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Because homeowners may participate in more than one program,
the reported program participation numbers are higher than the total number of
individual homeowners assisted. Figure 3.31 shows Nevada’s HHF expenditures
xxviii A
 ccording to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they
capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xxix States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash
balances, cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial
payments made.

number of homeowners estimated to participate in each of Nevada’s programs
(estimated program participation) and the reported number of homeowners who
participated in each of Nevada’s programs (program participation), as of June 30,
2013.

New Jersey has spent 24% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $300,548,144 of HHF funds to New Jersey,
New Jersey is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to
help homeowners with HHF.770 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down
$133.5 million (44%) of those funds.771 As of June 30, 2013, the state had one
HHF program and had spent $72.2 million (24% of its obligated funds) to help
3,621 individual homeowners.772,xxx The remaining $13.6 million (5%) was spent on
administrative expenses, and $47.7 million (16%) is held as cash-on-hand.773,xxxi
Since the end of 2010, New Jersey has estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to as many as 6,900 homeowners and had helped 3,621
homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance, as of June 30, 2013.
Figure 3.33 shows the number of homeowners estimated to participate in New
Jersey’s program and the number of homeowners who have been assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Figure 3.34 shows New Jersey’s HHF expenditures compared with
its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013.

xxx According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they
capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xxxi States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash
balances, cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial
payments made.

North Carolina has spent 35% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $482,781,786 of HHF funds to North Carolina,
North Carolina is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to
help homeowners with HHF.774 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down
$222.4 million (46%) of those funds.775 As of June 30, 2013, the state had four
HHF programs and had spent $168.2 million (35% of its obligated funds) to help
12,537 individual homeowners.776,xxxii The remaining $34.6 million (7%) was spent
on administrative expenses, and $19.6 million (4%) is held as cash-on-hand.777,xxxiii
In mid-2011 and as of June 30, 2013, North Carolina estimated that it would
help as many as 22,290 homeowners with HHF.
North Carolina has two HHF programs that would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to homeowners: for one North Carolina estimated, in
mid-2010 and as of June 30, 2013, that it would provide 5,750 homeowners with
HHF unemployment assistance; and for the other North Carolina estimated, in
mid-2011 and as of June 30, 2013, that it would provide 14,100 homeowners with
HHF unemployment assistance. As of June 30, 2013, North Carolina provided
unemployment assistance to 3,946 homeowners through its first program and to
8,575 homeowners through its second program.
In mid-2011 and as of June 30, 2013, North Carolina estimated that it would
provide HHF second-lien reduction assistance to as many as 2,000 homeowners.
As of June 30, 2013, North Carolina provided 70 homeowners with HHF secondlien reduction assistance.
In mid-2010 and as of June 30, 2013, North Carolina estimated that it would
modify mortgages for 440 homeowners but, as of June 30, 2013, had not modified
mortgages for any homeowners.
Figure 3.35 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in North Carolina’s programs (estimated program participation), the
reported number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs
(program participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted,
as of June 30, 2013. Because homeowners may participate in more than one
program, the reported program participation numbers are higher than the total
number of individual homeowners assisted. Figure 3.36 shows North Carolina’s
HHF expenditures compared with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure
3.37 shows the number of homeowners estimated to participate in each of North
Carolina’s programs (estimated program participation) and the reported number
of homeowners who participated in each of North Carolina’s programs (program
participation), as of June 30, 2013.

xxxii According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they
capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xxxiii States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash
balances, cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial
payments made.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Ohio has spent 25% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $570,395,099 of HHF funds to Ohio, Ohio is not
getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help homeowners with
HHF.778 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $208.1 million (36%) of
those funds.779 As of June 30, 2013, the state had seven active HHF programs and
had spent $144.5 million (25% of its obligated funds) to help 11,546 individual
homeowners.780,xxxiv The remaining $27 million (5%) was spent on administrative
expenses, and $36.6 million (6%) is held as cash-on-hand.781,xxxv
At the end of 2010, Ohio estimated that it would help as many as 63,485
homeowners with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, reduced that peak estimate by
40%, to 38,215.
At the end of 2011, Ohio estimated that it would provide HHF past-due
payment assistance to 21,000 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Ohio lowered
that peak estimate to 18,022 homeowners and provided HHF past-due payment
assistance to 10,031 homeowners.
At the end of 2010, Ohio estimated that it would provide HHF unemployment
assistance to as many as 31,900 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Ohio lowered
that peak estimate to 10,510 homeowners and has helped 7,392 homeowners with
HHF unemployment assistance.
Ohio has four HHF programs that would modify homeowners’ mortgages. For
its first HHF modification program, Ohio estimated, at the end of 2012, that it
would modify mortgages for 6,400 homeowners but, as of June 30, 2013, lowered
that peak estimate to 5,746 homeowners and had modified mortgages for 116
homeowners. For its second HHF modification program, Ohio estimated, in mid2010, that it would modify mortgages for 2,350 homeowners but, as of June 30,
2013, lowered that peak estimate to 955 homeowners and had modified mortgages
for 370 homeowners. For its third HHF modification program, Ohio estimated,
at the end of 2012, that it would modify mortgages for 3,100 homeowners but,
as of June 30, 2013, lowered that peak estimate to 1,982 homeowners and
had modified mortgages for 79 homeowners. For its fourth HHF modification
program, Ohio estimated, at the start of 2013, that it would modify mortgages for
900 homeowners but, as of June 30, 2013, had not modified mortgages for any
homeowners.
Ohio had two HHF programs to provide HHF transition assistance to
homeowners: for one Ohio estimated, at the end of 2010, that it would provide
HHF transition assistance to 4,900 homeowners; and for the other Ohio
estimated, at the end of 2010, that it would provide HHF transition assistance to
6,500 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Ohio lowered the peak estimate for its
xxxiv According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they
capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xxxv States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash
balances, cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial
payments made.

first program to 100 homeowners and has provided 21 homeowners with HHF
transition assistance, and Ohio reduced the peak estimate for its second program to
zero and had not provided HHF transition assistance to any homeowners.
Figure 3.38 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in Ohio’s programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Because homeowners may participate in more than one program,
the reported program participation numbers are higher than the total number of
individual homeowners assisted. Figure 3.39 shows Ohio’s HHF expenditures
compared with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure 3.40 shows the
number of homeowners estimated to participate in each of Ohio’s programs
(estimated program participation) and the reported number of homeowners
who participated in each of Ohio’s programs (program participation), as of
June 30, 2013.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Oregon has spent 48% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Treasury obligated $220,042,786 of HHF funds to Oregon.782 As of June 30, 2013,
the state had drawn down $155 million (70%) of those funds.783 As of June 30,
2013, the state had six HHF programs and had spent $105.4 million (48% of its
obligated funds) to help 8,579 individual homeowners.784,xxxvi The remaining $25.8
million (12%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $23.8 million (11%) is
held as cash-on-hand.785,xxxvii
As of mid-2010, Oregon estimated that it would help as many as 9,400
homeowners with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, had increased that estimate to
15,280.
Oregon has three HHF programs to modify homeowners’ mortgages. For its first
HHF modification program, Oregon estimated, at the end of 2010, that it would
modify mortgages for 2,600 homeowners but, as of June 30, 2013, Oregon had
unfolded its first program, which had not modified mortgages for any homeowners.
For its second HHF modification program, Oregon estimated, at the start of 2011,
that it would modify mortgages for 330 homeowners and, as of June 30, 2013,
had modified mortgages for 79 homeowners. For its third HHF modification
program, Oregon estimated, at the start of 2013, that it would modify mortgages
for 50 homeowners but, as of June 30, 2013, it had not modified mortgages for any
homeowners.
As of June 30, 2013, Oregon estimated that it would provide HHF unemployment assistance to 11,000 homeowners and has helped 8,186 homeowners with
HHF unemployment assistance.
At the end of 2011, Oregon estimated that it would provide HHF past-due
payment assistance to 4,000 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Oregon lowered
that peak estimate to 3,900 homeowners and provided HHF past-due payment
assistance to 2,495 homeowners.
At the end of 2010, Oregon estimated that it would provide HHF transition
assistance to 2,515 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Oregon unfunded this
program, which had not provided HHF transition assistance to any homeowners.
Figure 3.41 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in Oregon’s programs (estimated program participation), the reported
number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs (program
participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Because homeowners may participate in more than one program,
the reported program participation numbers are higher than the total number of
individual homeowners assisted. Figure 3.42 shows Oregon’s HHF expenditures
compared with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure 3.43 shows the
number of homeowners estimated to participate in each of Oregon’s programs
xxxvi According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they
capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xxxvii States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash
balances, cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial
payments made.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Rhode Island has spent 56% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Treasury obligated $79,351,573 of HHF funds to Rhode Island.786 As of June 30,
2013, the state had drawn down $54.5 million (69%) of those funds.787 As of June
30, 2013, the state had five HHF programs and had spent $44.7 million (56% of
its obligated funds) to help 2,968 individual homeowners.788,xxxviii The remaining $7
million (9%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $2.8 million (4%) is held
as cash-on-hand.789,xxxix According to Treasury, Rhode Island stopped accepting new
applications from struggling homeowners seeking help from their HHF programs
submitted after January 31, 2013.790,xl
At the end of 2010, Rhode Island estimated that it would help as many as
13,125 homeowners with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, reduced that peak
estimate by 75%, to 3,331.
Rhode Island has two HHF programs to modify homeowners’ mortgages: for
one Rhode Island estimated, at the end of 2010, that it would modify mortgages
for 3,500 homeowners; and for the other Rhode Island estimated, in mid-2011,
that it would modify mortgages with HHF principal reduction assistance for
100 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Rhode Island lowered the peak estimate
for its first program to 520 homeowners and has modified mortgages for 424
homeowners; and lowered the peak estimate for its second program to 45
homeowners and had modified mortgages with HHF principal reduction assistance
for 18 homeowners.
At the end of 2010, Rhode Island estimated that it would provide HHF pastdue payment assistance to 2,750 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Rhode Island
lowered that peak estimate to 642 homeowners and provided HHF past-due
payment assistance to 633 homeowners.
At the end of 2010, Rhode Island estimated that it would provide HHF
transition assistance to 875 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, Rhode Island
lowered that peak estimate to 66 homeowners and provided 64 homeowners with
HHF transition assistance.
As of June 30, 2013, Rhode Island estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to as many as 6,000 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013,
Rhode Island lowered that peak estimate to 2,058 homeowners and has helped
2,058 homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance.
Figure 3.44 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in Rhode Island’s programs (estimated program participation), the
reported number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs
(program participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted,
xxxviii According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they
capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xxxix States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash
balances, cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial
payments made.
xl	According to Treasury, Rhode Island is no longer accepting applications for assistance from homeowners because it determined
that its allocated HHF funds would be spent on homeowners who already have been approved for HHF assistance.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

as of June 30, 2013. Because homeowners may participate in more than one
program, the reported program participation numbers are higher than the total
number of individual homeowners assisted. Figure 3.45 shows Rhode Island’s
HHF expenditures compared with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure
3.46 shows the number of homeowners estimated to participate in each of Rhode
Island’s programs (estimated program participation) and the reported number
of homeowners who participated in each of Rhode Island’s programs (program
participation), as of June 30, 2013.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

South Carolina has spent 23% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $295,431,547 of HHF funds to South Carolina,
South Carolina is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to
help homeowners with HHF.791 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down
$90 million (30%) of those funds.792 As of June 30, 2013, the state had four active
HHF programs and had spent $69.3 million (23% of its obligated funds) to help
5,635 individual homeowners.793,xli The remaining $14.3 million (5%) was spent on
administrative expenses, and $6.5 million (2%) is held as cash-on-hand.794,xlii
At the end of 2010, South Carolina estimated that it would help as many
as 34,100 homeowners with HHF but, as of June 30, 2013, reduced that peak
estimate by 34%, to 22,400.
In mid-2011, South Carolina estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to as many as 14,000 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013,
South Carolina lowered that peak estimate to 6,000 homeowners and has helped
3,084 homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance.
At the end of 2010, South Carolina estimated that it would provide HHF
past-due payment assistance to 11,000 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, South
Carolina lowered that peak estimate to 10,000 homeowners and provided HHF
past-due payment assistance to 5,437 homeowners.
At the end of 2012 and as June 30, 2013, South Carolina estimated that it
would modify 6,000 homeowners’ mortgages but, as of June 30, 2013, had not
modified mortgages for any homeowners.
At the end of 2010, South Carolina estimated that it would provide HHF
transition assistance to 6,000 homeowners. As of June 30, 2013, South Carolina
lowered that peak estimate to 400 homeowners and provided 87 homeowners with
HHF transition assistance.
In mid-2010, South Carolina estimated that it would provide HHF second-lien
reduction assistance to as many as 2,600 homeowners but, as of June 30, 2013,
had ended the program and not provided HHF second-lien reduction assistance to
any homeowners.
Figure 3.47 shows, in aggregate, the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in South Carolina’s programs (estimated program participation), the
reported number of homeowners who participated in one or more programs
(program participation), and the total number of individual homeowners assisted,
as of June 30, 2013. Because homeowners may participate in more than one
program, the reported program participation numbers are higher than the total
number of individual homeowners assisted. Figure 3.48 shows South Carolina’s
HHF expenditures compared with its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013. Figure
xli According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in HHF
programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they capture
and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner assistance,
cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xlii States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances,
cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial payments

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Tennessee has spent 23% of available HHF funds to help
homeowners
Even though Treasury obligated $217,315,593 of HHF funds to Tennessee,
Tennessee is not getting a significant amount of these funds out the door to help
homeowners with HHF.795 As of June 30, 2013, the state had drawn down $77.3
million (36%) of those funds.796 As of June 30, 2013, the state had one HHF
program and had spent $50.3 million (23% of its obligated funds) to help 3,968
individual homeowners.797,xliii The remaining $9.4 million (4%) was spent on
administrative expenses, and $17.5 (8%) is held as cash-on-hand.798,xliv
At the end of 2011, Tennessee estimated that it would provide HHF
unemployment assistance to as many as 13,500 homeowners with HHF but, as of
June 30, 2013, reduced that peak estimate by 16%, to 11,300. As of June 30, 2013,
Tennessee had provided HHF unemployment assistance to 3,968 homeowners.
Figure 3.50 shows the number of homeowners estimated to participate in
Tennessee’s program and the number of homeowners who have been assisted, as of
June 30, 2013. Figure 3.51 shows Tennessee’s HHF expenditures compared with
its obligated funds, as of June 30, 2013.

xliii According to Treasury, committed program funds are funds committed to homeowners who have been approved to participate in
HHF programs that are anticipated to be disbursed over the duration of their participation; states vary as to when and how they
capture and report funds as committed. HHF funds committed for homeowner assistance are recorded variously as homeowner
assistance, cash-on-hand, or undrawn funds.
xliv States do not publish cash-on-hand in their quarterly performance reports; cash-on-hand is the amount drawn less homeowner
assistance and administrative expenses; states may also hold additional cash generated from interest earned on HHF cash balances,
cash repayments of assistance from lien satisfaction recoveries, or borrower remittances received less borrower partial payments
made.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), Congress
authorized the Secretary of the Treasury (“Treasury Secretary”) to create the
operational and administrative mechanisms to carry out the Troubled Asset Relief
Program (“TARP”). EESA established the Office of Financial Stability (“OFS”)
within the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”). OFS is responsible for
administering TARP.803 Treasury has authority to establish program vehicles, issue
regulations, directly hire or appoint employees, enter into contracts, and designate
financial institutions as financial agents of the Government.804 In addition to using
permanent and interim staff, OFS relies on contractors and financial agents for
legal services, investment consulting, accounting, and other key services.

TARP ADMINISTRATIVE AND PROGRAM OPERATING
EXPENDITURES

As of September 30, 2013, Treasury has obligated $372.9 million for TARP
administrative costs and $1 billion in programmatic operating expenditures for
a total of $1.4 billion since the beginning of TARP. Of that, $269.5 million has
been obligated in the year since September 30, 2012. According to Treasury, as of
September 30, 2013, it had spent $337.7 million on TARP administrative costs and
$951.1 million on programmatic operating expenditures, for a total of $1.3 billion
since the beginning of TARP. Of that, $248.1 million has been spent in the year
since September 30, 2012.805
Much of the work on TARP is performed by private vendors rather than
Government employees. Treasury reported that as of September 30, 2013, it employs 47 career civil servants, 69 term appointees, and 24 reimbursable detailees,
for a total of 140 full-time employees.806 Between TARP’s inception in 2008 and
September 30, 2013, Treasury had retained 153 private vendors — 20 financial
agents and 133 contractors — to help administer TARP.807 According to Treasury,
as of September 30, 2013, 62 private vendors were active — 12 financial agents
and 50 contractors, some with multiple contracts.808 The number of private-sector
staffers who provide services under these agreements dwarfs the number of people
working for OFS. According to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as of June 30,
2013, together they had about 710 people dedicated to working on their TARP
contracts.809 According to Treasury, as of June 30, 2013, or September 30, 2013
— the latest numbers available vary due to reporting cycles — at least another 340
people were working on other active OFS contracts, including financial agent and
legal services contracts, for a total of 1,050 private-sector employees working on
TARP.810
Table 4.1 provides a summary of the expenditures and obligations for TARP
administrative and programmatic operating costs through September 30, 2013.
The administrative costs are categorized as “personnel services” and “non-personnel
services.” Table 4.2 provides a summary of OFS service contracts, which include

259

costs to hire financial agents and contractors, and obligations through September
30, 2013, excluding costs and obligations related to personnel services, travel, and
transportation.

SIGTARP RECOMMENDATIONS

272

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

One of the critical responsibilities of the Office of the Special Inspector General
for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“SIGTARP”) is to provide recommendations
to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) and other Federal agencies
related to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) to facilitate transparency
and effective oversight and to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. SIGTARP has
made 128 recommendations in its quarterly reports to Congress and its audit
reports. This section discusses developments with respect to SIGTARP’s prior
recommendations, including recommendations made since SIGTARP’s Quarterly
Report to Congress dated July 24, 2013 (the “July 2013 Quarterly Report”), and, in
the table at the end of this section, summarizes SIGTARP’s recommendations from
past quarters and notes the extent of implementation.

RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THE
APPOINTING OF DIRECTORS TO THE BOARDS OF
CPP BANKS

Treasury’s responsibility did not end on the day it injected TARP funds into banks
participating in TARP’s Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”). Indeed, one of the
stated purposes of CPP is “to enable lenders to meet the credit needs of our
nation and local communities.” Treasury’s injection of TARP funding in these
smaller banks was less about preventing the collapse of the financial system, and
more about ensuring that local communities have access to loans. Then-Treasury
Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability Neel Kashkari remarked on December
5, 2008, that, “we firmly believe that healthy banks of all sizes should use this
program to continue making credit available in their communities.” Despite TARP,
many of these banks continue to suffer from the financial crisis and are having
difficulty lending to their customers or repaying taxpayers’ TARP funds.
Treasury has many tools available to protect taxpayers’ investments in all TARP
recipients, and ensure their contribution was not wasted or in vain. Among those
tools, Treasury established a contractual right to nominate directors to boards of
TARP recipients who miss required dividends payments, including in TARP’s bank
programs: CPP and the Community Development Capital Initiative (“CDCI”).
SIGTARP is concerned that Treasury has not effectively exercised that right.
SIGTARP raised this concern over two years ago, in an October 11, 2011, letter
to then-Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, stressing: “Treasury should also
aggressively exercise its TARP contractual rights to appoint a board member for
banks that miss six or more TARP dividends or interest payments.”
However, despite the value of Treasury-selected directors at TARP banks that
have missed multiple TARP dividends, Treasury has rarely exercised its right to
appoint directors and appears to be abandoning its efforts to enforce that right.
Treasury has only appointed directors at 15 CPP banks, even though there have
been at least 132 banks that had missed six or more dividend payments throughout
the history of TARP, not including those banks that had missed six dividends and

273

274

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

then caught up. As of June 30, 2013, even though 85 of the 142 CPP banks with
remaining principal investments had missed at least six payments, only eight of
those institutions had a Treasury-appointed director. Moreover, Treasury has not
appointed a director at a CPP bank since December 2012, despite its ability to
do so.
TARP’s purpose for ensuring that local communities have access to loans from
community banks in TARP must continue to be fulfilled while the bank remains
in TARP, and Treasury-appointed directors can assist in ensuring that this purpose
is met. Moreover, Treasury informed SIGTARP that some TARP recipients keep
Treasury-appointed directors on boards even after Treasury sells its TARP shares
because of their knowledge, experience, and valuable contribution. As former
Treasury official David Miller testified to Congress, these directors “provide an
independent voice.” Along with independence, Treasury searches for qualified
candidates who have the ability to provide effective oversight and who can “make
a contribution” to the board and institution. The need for an independent and
effective board member who is looking out for all shareholders’ rights, including
taxpayers, continues to this day for remaining CPP banks that struggle with
challenges to their condition, health or their existing board. If these challenges did
not exist, these banks would have likely already repaid TARP. TARP community
banks face these types of challenges even though Treasury may be contemplating
selling the TARP investment at a loss. Additionally, qualified Treasury-appointed
directors could provide effective governance at TARP banks, including after
Treasury sells its interest, further ensuring that the taxpayers’ investment was not in
vain. For example, a Treasury-appointed director’s experience and expertise could
also help detect any potential mismanagement or even fraud. Treasury is giving up
the value directors could provide if it does not enforce this right.
Treasury has stated that its decision to appoint directors will be based on
“Treasury’s evaluation of the condition and health of the institution and the
functioning of its board of directors, including the information provided by the
[Treasury] observers.” To help it do so, Treasury often first requests permission
to send Treasury officials to observe certain CPP institutions once they miss five
dividend (or interest) payments, a “proactive step” which according to Treasury’s
Fact Sheet, “will help Treasury determine where the appointment of directors
would be most effective.” According to Treasury, these observers are assigned to
“gain a better understanding of the institution’s condition and challenges and
to observe how the board is addressing the situation.” In addition, if Treasury is
continuing to send observers to these board meetings, it clearly recognizes the
benefits of attending the meetings. However, these Treasury officials have no voting
rights or ability to impact the board’s decisions.
Despite the current and ongoing value these independent directors could
provide, Treasury officials recently told SIGTARP that Treasury currently has no
intention of appointing directors to banks that remain in TARP’s CPP, instead
focusing on auctioning its interests in the remaining CPP banks. It’s unclear why
Treasury believes that the appointment of directors and its selloff of its investments
in TARP’s CPP program, which could take some time and are typically at a loss,

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

are mutually exclusive. Treasury does not need to focus solely on selling off its
investments in struggling banks in TARP. Even while it continues to pursue that
path, Treasury could simultaneously appoint directors who could protect taxpayers’
investment and ensure that TARP’s purpose of injecting funds in community banks
to ensure that communities have access to loans continues to be met while the
banks remain in TARP. Treasury should not give up this valuable tool just because
over the next year or so, it has plans to sell its interests in TARP’s CPP banks.
After making such an important investment in community banks for nearly five
years, Treasury must not turn its back on TARP banks still struggling to lend to
communities. Based on our concerns that Treasury is not enforcing its contractual
right to appoint directors to the boards of TARP banks or under CDCI, on
September 30, 2013, SIGTARP made the following recommendations:
To protect the investment taxpayers made through TARP in community banks
and to ensure that these banks continue to lend in their communities which is
a goal of TARP’s Capital Purchase Program, Treasury should enforce its right
to appoint directors for CPP institutions that have failed to pay six or more
quarterly TARP dividend or interest payments.
In enforcing its right to appoint directors to the board of CPP institutions
that have failed to pay six or more quarterly dividend or interest payments,
Treasury should prioritize appointing directors to the board of those CPP
institutions that meet one or more of the following criteria: (1) rejected
Treasury’s request to send officials to observe board meetings; (2) have failed
to pay a large number of TARP dividend payments or that owe the largest
amount of delinquent TARP dividends; or (3) is currently subject to an order
from their Federal banking regulator, particularly orders related to the health
or condition of the bank or its board of directors. In addition, Treasury should
use information learned from Treasury officials that have observed the bank’s
board meetings to assist in prioritizing its determination of banks to which
Treasury should appoint directors.
To determine how to prioritize director appointments, Treasury should use
the valuable information it already has gathered or could gather. For instance,
as of June 30, 2013, 12 CPP institutions that received taxpayer support rejected
Treasury’s request to allow a Treasury official to observe board meetings, stating
excuses including a plan and desire to pay dividends soon and a fear Treasury
would leak confidential information. Treasury still had principal TARP investments
in nine of those institutions as of June 30, 2013. Most of the banks that rejected
observers were seriously overdue in dividend payments to Treasury having not
paid TARP dividends for years. Most of the banks had not paid 10 to 18 dividend
payments to Treasury. It is appalling and alarming, and should be unacceptable to
Treasury, that banks that needed a taxpayer-funded rescue that were not paying
TARP dividends for years would reject a Treasury representative from observing
board meetings. Treasury’s ability to oversee the condition, health and functioning
of the boards of those banks is diminished if it cannot send officials to observe

275

276

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

the board meetings. However, when Treasury’s requests were denied, Treasury
retreated from its position that these banks needed extra scrutiny rather than
assuring the banks that Treasury would not leak confidential information. Treasury
should prioritize appointing directors at those institutions.
Treasury can also prioritize appointing directors at TARP banks that are subject
to a regulatory order, particularly orders that focus on the condition or health of the
bank or its board of directors. Typically these orders are publicly available. Treasury
can also prioritize appointing directors at banks that have the largest number or
largest amount of missed TARP dividends. In addition, Treasury can prioritize
appointing directors based on information learned from the Treasury officials that
have been overseeing boards and collecting information since 2010.
To protect the investment taxpayers made in TARP and to ensure that
institutions continue to lend in low and moderate income communities which
is the goal of TARP’s Community Development Capital Initiative, Treasury
should enforce its right to appoint directors to CDCI institutions that have
failed to pay eight or more TARP quarterly dividend (or interest) payments.
In CDCI, although at least two institutions have failed to pay more than eight
quarterly payments, Treasury has not appointed directors to the boards of those
institutions. As of June 30, 2013, 73 institutions remained in the CDCI program.
Moreover, Treasury is not selling its investments in the CDCI program. Accordingly,
Treasury should continue to support struggling CDCI recipients, including by
enforcing its right to appoint directors.

ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING
HOMEOWNERS REDEFAULTING ON MODIFIED
MORTGAGES UNDER HAMP
Since the inception of HAMP, in order to improve transparency as well as the
effectiveness and efficiency of the program, SIGTARP has made a series of
recommendations to Treasury regarding TARP’s signature housing program,
HAMP. These recommendations address SIGTARP’s concerns about the process
by which a homeowner gets into HAMP, the treatment of the homeowner while
in HAMP, and the long-term sustainability of homeowners’ HAMP permanent
mortgage modifications. In April 2013, SIGTARP expressed our concerns to
Treasury that the number of homeowners who have redefaulted on HAMP
permanent mortgage modifications is increasing at an alarming rate, leaving
those homeowners more at risk of foreclosure. This trend is contrary to Treasury’s
goal in creating HAMP to “help as many as 3 to 4 million financially struggling
homeowners avoid foreclosure by modifying loans to a level that is affordable
for borrowers now and sustainable over the long term.” Accordingly, on April 1,

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

2013, SIGTARP made various recommendations urging Treasury to curb HAMP
redefaults to keep homeowners safe from losing their homes.
It is a positive sign that following SIGTARP’s April 2013 recommendations
that Treasury initially expressed its commitment to assessing and reducing
redefault rates as much as possible, including by conducting research on the
causes of redefaults. Following that, however, on July 22, 2013, Treasury posted
a blog: “Understanding HAMP Re-default Rates,” explaining that “mortgage
modification programs include an inherent risk of homeowner default, given the
difficult situations homeowners face when they seek assistance (like job loss).”
Treasury stated that a challenge of HAMP’s design was “giving as many struggling
homeowners as possible the chance to keep their home while recognizing that not
all will succeed.” But, despite Treasury’s understanding that redefaults would be
likely, as SIGTARP indicated in April 2013, Treasury still does not understand well
the reason the permanent modifications in HAMP actually failed. Instead, Treasury
merely noted that “homeowners in HAMP consistently exhibit lower delinquency
and re-default rates than those in private industry modifications.”
As a result, on September 3, 2013, SIGTARP made three additional
recommendations related to HAMP to encourage Treasury to uncover and address
the root causes of HAMP redefaults:
To ensure that homeowners in HAMP get sustainable relief from foreclosure,
Treasury should research and analyze whether and to what extent the conduct
of HAMP mortgage servicers may contribute to homeowners redefaulting
on HAMP permanent mortgage modifications. To provide transparency and
accountability, Treasury should publish its conclusions and determinations.
Treasury should better understand the factors impacting homeowners’
ability to remain in HAMP, particularly if it involves factors where Treasury can
exercise control and oversight. To do so, Treasury should include, as part of its
research and analysis, the conduct of mortgage servicers participating in HAMP.
Given that Treasury does not know the causes and contributing factors that lead
homeowners to redefault on their HAMP permanent modification, Treasury
cannot know whether conduct by any of the mortgage servicers who administer
HAMP, particularly the 10 largest servicers, may be contributing to homeowners
redefaulting on HAMP permanent modifications. As SIGTARP and others have
reported on multiple occasions, HAMP is a program that has been plagued with
servicer misconduct. Moreover, SIGTARP provided Treasury with specific ideas
with regard to research and analysis related to the conduct of mortgage servicers
participating in HAMP, ranging from additional servicer reporting requirements
to direct outreach to homeowners who redefaulted, as to how it could conduct
thorough research and analysis to bring accountability to servicers that may be
contributing to this growing problem and could identify areas where Treasury can
implement oversight.
In response to SIGTARP’s additional September 2013 recommendations on
HAMP redefaults, Treasury stated that it agrees with SIGTARP’s broad points.
Treasury indicated that it will monitor servicer performance with respect to

277

278

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

income calculation, publish the results, and exercise the appropriate remedies as
necessary.
However, Treasury seems unwilling to fully implement this recommendation
by conducting additional research because, according to Treasury, SIGTARP’s
recommendation did not derive from an audit and because SIGTARP has
apparently not identified specific types of servicer behavior that contribute to
redefaults. It is Treasury’s responsibility to conduct meaningful oversight of its own
program and of those that are participating in it. Therefore, Treasury’s research and
analysis is what is needed to determine whether and to what extent the conduct of
HAMP mortgage servicers may contribute to homeowners redefaulting on HAMP
permanent mortgage modifications. Treasury clearly has the resources and ability
to conduct its own research. In fact, as Treasury’s response to SIGTARP suggests,
it has already begun and is continuing to conduct research concerning the causes
of HAMP redefaults relating to the implementation of SIGTARP’s April 2013
recommendation. As with the early recommendation, this recommendation relating
to redefaults of permanent HAMP loan modifications was not a direct outcome
of an audit. Treasury, with no caveat, has begun to address those earlier concerns
raised by SIGTARP, particularly, Treasury responded to SIGTARP’s September
2013 recommendations explaining that it is proceeding with plans to conduct a
survey of borrowers who have redefaulted, the results of which will help Treasury
better understand the causes of redefault.
SIGTARP will continue to monitor Treasury’s progress in addressing and
implementing this important recommendation.
Treasury should establish an achievable benchmark for a redefault rate
on HAMP permanent mortgage modifications that represents acceptable
program performance and publicly report against that benchmark.
In March 2010, SIGTARP issued an audit “Factors Affecting Implementation
of the Home Affordable Modification Program,” in which SIGTARP reported that
one of the factors that could impede HAMP’s long-term success is the impact of
redefaults. As part of the March 2010 audit, SIGTARP recommended that Treasury
develop a performance metric for the rates of how many homeowners fall out of
the program at the trial stage prior to permanent modification, and redefault rates
for permanent HAMP modifications. Treasury has not implemented SIGTARP’s
important 2010 recommendation.
Treasury initially had predicted that four out of every ten (40%) HAMP
modifications (trial and permanent) would fail. More than three years after
SIGTARP’s 2010 recommendation, Treasury has still not identified benchmarks
or set goals and performance measures for each metric, particularly relating to
redefaults of HAMP permanent modifications. During that time, more than half
(54%) of homeowners’ HAMP modifications (trial or permanent) failed, and over
a quarter (26%) of homeowners who received a HAMP permanent modification
have fallen out of the program. Had Treasury measured and reported on HAMP
modification performance, at least, against its initial prediction – that 40% of
HAMP modifications would fail homeowners, the public would have been made

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

aware that homeowners had modifications (trial and permanent) that were failing
at a rate exceeding 40 percent, and Treasury could have interceded to improve
performance and lower the redefault rate.
Treasury should publicly assess and report quarterly on the status of the ten
largest HAMP servicers in meeting Treasury’s benchmark for an acceptable
homeowner redefault rate on HAMP permanent mortgage modifications,
indicate why any servicer fell short of the benchmark, require the servicer to
make changes to reduce the number of homeowners who redefault in HAMP,
and use enforcement remedies including withholding, permanently reducing,
or clawing back incentive payments for any servicer that fails to comply in a
timely manner.
A clear and transparent benchmark would also make it clear to servicers
where they need to improve, and allow Treasury, homeowners, and the public
to evaluate a servicer’s performance. Treasury should include in its quarterly
assessment of the top 10 servicers, ratings of each individual servicer’s performance
on homeowners who have redefaulted measured against the benchmark that
SIGTARP recommends Treasury establish. A meaningful benchmark for program
performance on redefaults is essential to provide transparent standards of
acceptable performance, greatly improve accountability, allow for more effective
oversight, and encourage servicers to improve their performance.
It is important to bring accountability and transparency to HAMP by regularly
reporting on actual performance as measured against a clear and transparent
benchmark and assessing why there may be a shortfall either because of servicer
conduct or because of changes in their portfolios. Measuring actual performance
against a known quantifiable standard is essential to gauging the true success of a
servicer. It is also a necessary tool to bring accountability should servicers not be
doing all that can be done to reach what Treasury determines to be the expected
and achievable goal. Without such determinations, programmatic flaws may remain
undetected or servicers may choose to maintain the status quo. Treasury should
require any servicer falling short of the redefault benchmark to make changes necessary to reduce the number of homeowners who redefault out of HAMP. Treasury
must take all necessary steps to encourage maximum performance by servicers to
improve the overall performance of HAMP and increase the likelihood that the
redefault rate for permanent loan modifications does not continue to climb.
Measuring performance against a known standard and determining whether
servicer conduct has contributed to redefaults also allows Treasury to use available
enforcement remedies. Just as SIGTARP recommended in the past, Treasury
should use all available financial remedies to force servicer compliance through
withholding, permanently reducing, or clawing back incentive payments.
As Treasury extended the HAMP application period for two years until
December 31, 2015, it is crucial that Treasury fully and expeditiously implement all
of SIGTARP’s recommendations addressing TARP’s housing programs to maximize
TARP assistance to homeowners and to prevent taxpayers’ dollars that funded
HAMP from going to waste, as Congress intended.

279

280

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Treasury still has the opportunity to establish a meaningful benchmark and goal
for homeowners who redefault. Upon doing so, Treasury could take appropriate
steps to make changes to the program to reduce redefaults and ensure that HAMP
helps struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure in a way that is sustainable over
the long term, including by publicly assessing and reporting on the status of the 10
largest HAMP servicers in meeting Treasury’s benchmark.
Treasury responded to SIGTARP’s recommendation, agreeing that establishing
appropriate benchmarks and publishing servicer performance against those
benchmarks is important. However, Treasury seems unwilling to specifically
implement this important measure, reasoning that the lack of an industry-wide
metric prevents it from doing so. First, the absence of any industry metric to
measure servicer impact on redefault does not prevent Treasury from implementing
SIGTARP’s recommendation. In fact, SIGTARP’s recommendation actually called
on Treasury to establish an achievable benchmark for a redefault rate on HAMP
permanent mortgage modifications. As Treasury has been managing HAMP for
nearly five years now and is familiar with servicers’ participation in the program,
it surely has gained some valuable expertise and knowledge that could be useful
in developing this benchmark. Second, Treasury’s argument appears contrary to
Treasury’s July blog post in which Treasury compared HAMP redefaults to the
redefault rate of private sector mortgage modifications, suggesting that could
serve as a valid benchmark for HAMP permanent modification redefault rates.
Treasury also suggests that it cannot establish a benchmark without SIGTARP’s
guidance. Again, it is up to Treasury to set performance standards for its own
program and measure the participants’ performance in Treasury’s program against
a benchmark that Treasury believes is achievable and sustainable. Treasury clearly
has the expertise and resources to do so. In fact, Treasury’s response to this
recommendation demonstrates that Treasury is already assessing performance
against the redefault rate for private sector mortgage modifications and if this is the
benchmark, Treasury should state it as such or develop a benchmark, as SIGTARP
recommended.
Because Treasury has not yet established a benchmark on HAMP permanent
modification redefault rates, it has not yet implemented this recommendation.
SIGTARP continues to monitor Treasury’s efforts in reducing HAMP redefault
rates and looks forward to Treasury assessing and reporting on servicers’ progress
toward meeting a Treasury-established benchmark.
Moreover, SIGTARP does not believe that Treasury’s Servicer Assesment reports
adequately address SIGTARP’s concerns. SIGTARP was fully aware of what steps
Treasury has taken to date to address these issues, and if they had been sufficient,
SIGTARP would not have made these recommendations. Regardless, it is a positive
sign that Treasury recognizes the importance of a benchmark and Treasury should
take the further step to establish one for its program against which performance
can be measured and assessed. SIGTARP encourages Treasury to use its expertise
and resources to fully implement these two important recommendations.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING NOT COUNTING
SBLF FUNDS AS TARP “REPAYMENTS”
Throughout 2011, 137 banks exited TARP by refinancing Treasury’s TARP
investment into a separate taxpayer-funded investment under Treasury’s Small
Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”). Those TARP banks in SBLF did not use their
money to repay the $2.1 billion in TARP funds, but instead used taxpayer money
to refinance. As a result, Treasury did not recover the funds by selling its TARP
investment in these banks to third parties. In 2011, Senator Charles E. Grassley
expressed concerns about these TARP funds, asking then-Treasury Secretary
Geithner to ensure that TARP funds received through banks refinancing into SBLF
“not be counted as funds ‘repaid’ to the Government.” Senator Grassley added, “To
claim that TARP funds are being ‘repaid’ by government-lent SBLF funds would
be an egregious example of budget gimmickry….” In response, Secretary Geithner
promised, “We will also break out and report separately any TARP investments
repaid using SBLF funds.”
However, despite Treasury’s assurance, SIGTARP remains concerned that
Treasury counts the $2.1 billion in SBLF funds as TARP funds repaid or recovered.
Doing so inaccurately implies that these funds are no longer owed. SIGTARP
issued a report on April 9, 2013, entitled “Banks that Used the Small Business
Lending Fund to Exit TARP” (the “SBLF Report”) in which we reported, “when
discussing in press releases and blog posts how much Treasury has received in
TARP repayments, Treasury includes the more than $2 billion of SBLF funds that
banks used to repay TARP.” It is confusing for Treasury to imply that the SBLF
funding used to exit TARP has been fully recovered or repaid to taxpayers, when
the funds were merely refinanced into another taxpayer-funded program. Other
TARP repayments or recoveries reflect actual repayments by TARP recipients or
proceeds from Treasury’s sale of the TARP investment to a non-Government third
party investor.
The only change that Treasury has recently made on this issue is to begin
adding an explanation to its CPP press releases, blog posts, and Treasury’s
Transaction Report. For example, Treasury’s May 29, 2013, press release on CPP
warrant sales stated:
Taxpayers have already earned a significant profit from TARP’s bank
programs. Through the CPP, Treasury has recovered $271 billion
to date through repayments, dividends, interest, and other income
— compared to the $245 billion initially invested. Approximately
$2 billion of the repayments were refinanced under the Small
Business Lending Fund. Congress created the SBLF outside of TARP
and required Treasury to let CPP institutions repay TARP funds by
borrowing under that program. (emphasis added)
Treasury’s explanation that some “repayments” came from SBLF does not
remedy the concerns Senator Grassley and SIGTARP raised.

281

282

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Treasury should not count the $2.1 billion in TARP repayment/recovery
totals or call these funds “repayments” or “recoveries.” Treasury owes taxpayers
fundamental, clear and accurate transparency and reporting on monies actually
repaid. Although Treasury could easily decrease the amount of TARP funds repaid/
recovered by $2.1 billion in its reporting, it still has not done so. In addition,
Treasury can note in its Transaction Report and in other statements discussing the
amount of disbursed CPP funds that the funds are no longer outstanding under
TARP because they were refinanced, rather than calling them “repayments” or
“recoveries.” This is also a necessary change to bring full transparency and accuracy
to Treasury’s reporting on TARP.
Accordingly, SIGTARP made the following recommendation in an August 20,
2013 letter to Treasury:
In order to prevent confusion, promote transparency, and present taxpayers
who funded TARP with clear and accurate reporting, when Treasury discusses
the amount of TARP funds (or CPP funds) recovered or repaid, Treasury
should not count the $2.1 billion in TARP investments that Treasury
refinanced into the Small Business Lending Fund, which is outside of TARP.
Treasury responded agreeing with the goals of SIGTARP’s recommendation,
stressing that it is in the public interest to make clear the amount of TARP
investments that were repaid with SBLF funds.
As Treasury’s also noted, “Congress specifically directed that SBLF not be a part
of TARP, and thus SBLF and TARP accounts are kept separate.”
However, Treasury has not agreed to implement SIGTARP’s recommendation.
First, although Treasury claims to have taken steps to achieve the goals of the
recommendation, SIGTARP does not believe those steps are adequate. If they
were, SIGTARP’s recommendation would not have been necessary. Second,
Treasury claims that it is actually prohibited from providing this additional
transparency because it is required to count SBLF refinancings as “repayments”
in its financial statements. Despite Treasury’s acknowledgement that adequate
transparency is necessary, Treasury does not, however, explain what prevents
Treasury from being wholly transparent in its various representations to the
public. But Treasury does not limit itself to talking about these payments to
its financial statements, and Treasury should be more transparent about the
costs to taxpayers in its other statements, including in its CPP press releases,
blog posts, and Treasury's Transaction Report, as SIGTARP explained. In fact,
Treasury even describes these refinances in various ways in those instances, often
referring to those amounts as being “recovered” rather than solely labeling them as
“repayments” or amounts “repaid.”
Treasury can still implement SIGTARP’s recommendation by not counting the
$2.1 billion in TARP investments that Treasury refinanced into the Small Business
Lending Fund, which is outside of TARP, when Treasury discusses the amount
of TARP funds (or CPP funds) recovered or repaid. SIGTARP looks forward to
Treasury providing this additional transparency it agrees is important.

Treasury should give careful consideration before agreeing
to the expansion of TALF to include MBS without a full review
of risks that may be involved and without considering certain
minimum fraud protections.

Agreements with TALF participants should include an
acknowledgment that: (1) they are subject to the oversight
of OFS-Compliance and SIGTARP, (2) with respect to any
condition imposed as part of TALF, that the party on which
the condition is imposed is required to establish internal
controls with respect to each condition, report periodically
on such compliance, and provide a certification with respect
to such compliance.

In formulating the structure of TALF, Treasury should
consider requiring, before committing TARP funds to the
program, that certain minimum underwriting standards and/
or other fraud prevention mechanisms be put in place with
respect to the ABS and/or the assets underlying the ABS
used for collateral.

Treasury begins to develop an overall investment strategy to
address its portfolio of stocks and decide whether it intends
to exercise warrants of common stock.

Treasury quickly determines its going-forward valuation
methodology.

Treasury should require all TARP recipients to report on the
actual use of TARP funds.

All existing TARP agreements, as well as those governing
new transactions, should be posted on the Treasury website
as soon as possible.

Treasury should include language in new TARP agreements
to facilitate compliance and oversight. Specifically, SIGTARP
recommends that each program participant should (1)
acknowledge explicitly the jurisdiction and authority of
SIGTARP and other oversight bodies, as relevant, to oversee
compliance of the conditions contained in the agreement
in question, (2) establish internal controls with respect to
that condition, (3) report periodically to the Compliance
department of the Office of Financial Stability (“OFSCompliance”) regarding the implementation of those controls
and its compliance with the condition, and (4) provide a
signed certification from an appropriate senior official to
OFS-Compliance that such report is accurate.

Treasury should include language in the automobile industry
transaction term sheet acknowledging SIGTARP’s oversight
role and expressly giving SIGTARP access to relevant
documents and personnel.

All TALF modeling and decisions, whether on haircuts or any
other credit or fraud loss mechanisms, should account for
potential losses to Government interests broadly, including
TARP funds, and not just potential losses to the Federal
Reserve.

Treasury should not allow Legacy Securities PPIFs to invest
in TALF unless significant mitigating measures are included
to address these dangers.

Treasury should design a robust compliance protocol with
complete access rights to all TALF transaction participants
for itself, SIGTARP, and other relevant oversight bodies.

Treasury should require additional anti-fraud and credit
protection provisions, specific to all MBS, before
participating in an expanded TALF, including minimum
underwriting standards and other fraud prevention
measures.

In TALF, Treasury should require significantly higher haircuts
for all MBS, with particularly high haircuts for legacy RMBS,
or other equally effective mitigation efforts.

In TALF, Treasury should dispense with rating agency
determinations and require a security-by-security screening
for each legacy RMBS. Treasury should refuse to participate
if the program is not designed so that RMBS, whether new
or legacy, will be rejected as collateral if the loans backing
particular RMBS do not meet certain baseline underwriting
criteria or are in categories that have been proven to be
riddled with fraud, including certain undocumented subprime
residential mortgages.

Treasury and the Federal Reserve should provide to
SIGTARP, for public disclosure, the identity of the borrowers
who surrender collateral in TALF.

*

Treasury should oppose any expansion of TALF to legacy
MBS without significant modifications to the program to
ensure a full assessment of risks associated with such an
expansion.

Treasury should formalize its valuation strategy and begin
providing values of the TARP investments to the public.

subject property before funding a mortgage modification.

Treasury should require PPIP managers to provide most
favored nation clauses to PPIF equity stakeholders, to
acknowledge that they owe Treasury a fiduciary duty, and to
adopt a robust ethics policy and compliance apparatus.

Treasury should require that all PPIF fund managers (1)
have stringent investor-screening procedures, including
comprehensive “Know Your Customer” requirements at least
as rigorous as that of a commercial bank or retail brokerage
operation to prevent money laundering and the participation
of actors prone to abusing the system, and (2) be required
to provide Treasury with the identities of all the beneficial
owners of the private interests in the fund so that Treasury
can do appropriate diligence to ensure that investors in the
funds are legitimate.

Treasury should impose strict conflict-of-interest rules upon
PPIF managers across all programs that specifically address
whether and to what extent the managers can (1) invest
PPIF funds in legacy assets that they hold or manage on
behalf of themselves or their clients or (2) conduct PPIF
transactions with entities in which they have invested on
behalf of themselves or others.

Treasury should require CAP participants to (1) establish an
internal control to monitor their actual use of TARP funds, (2)
provide periodic reporting on their actual use of TARP funds,
(3) certify to OFS-Compliance, under the penalty of criminal
sanction, that the report is accurate, that the same criteria
of internal controls and regular certified reports should be
applied to all conditions imposed on CAP participants, and
(4) acknowledge explicitly the jurisdiction and authority of
SIGTARP and other oversight bodies, as appropriate, to
oversee conditions contained in the agreement.

Treasury should significantly increase the staffing levels of
OFS-Compliance and ensure the timely development and

In MHA, Treasury should proactively educate homeowners
about the nature of the program, warn them about
modification rescue fraudsters, and publicize that no fee is
necessary to participate in the program.

In MHA, Treasury should defer payment of the $1,000
incentive to the servicer until after the homeowner has
verifiably made a minimum number of payments under the
mortgage modification program.

In MHA, Treasury should require that verifiable, third-party
information be obtained to confirm an applicant’s income
before any modification payments are made.

In MHA, Treasury should require the servicer to compare
the income reported on a mortgage modification application
with the income reported on the original loan applications.

Additional anti-fraud protections should be adopted in MHA
to verify the identity of the participants in the transaction
and to address the potential for servicers to steal from
individuals receiving Government subsidies without applying
them for the benefit of the homeowner.

In MHA, Treasury should require a closing-like procedure
be conducted that would include (1) a closing warning
sheet that would warn the applicant of the consequences
of fraud; (2) the notarized signature and thumbprint of each
participant; (3) mandatory collection, copying, and retention
of copies of identification documents of all participants in
the transaction; (4) verbal and written warnings regarding
hidden fees and payments so that applicants are made fully
aware of them; (5) the benefits to which they are entitled
under the program (to prevent a corrupt servicer from
collecting payments from the Government and not passing
the full amount of the subsidies to the homeowners); and (6)
the fact that no fee should be charged for the modification.

Treasury has stated that it has developed

Treasury has committed to publish

While Treasury’s program administrator,
Fannie Mae, has developed a HAMP

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Treasury should develop other performance metrics
and publicly report against them to measure over time
the implementation and success of HAMP. For example,
Treasury could set goals and publicly report against those
goals for servicer processing times, modifications as a
proportion of a servicer’s loans in default, modifications
as a proportion of foreclosures generally, rates of how
many borrowers fall out of the program prior to permanent
modification, and re-default rates.

Treasury should undertake a sustained public service
campaign as soon as possible, both to reach additional
borrowers who could benefit from the program and to arm
the public with complete, accurate information — this will
help to avoid confusion and delay, and prevent fraud and
abuse.

Treasury should reconsider its position that allows servicers
to substitute alternative forms of income verification based
on subjective determinations by the servicer.

Treasury should re-examine HAMP’s structure to ensure that
it is adequately minimizing the risk of re-default stemming
from non-mortgage debt, second liens, partial interest rate
resets after the five-year modifications end, and from many
borrowers being underwater.

Treasury should institute careful screening before putting
additional capital through CDCI into an institution with
insufficient capital to ensure that the TARP matching funds
are not flowing into an institution that is on the verge of
failure.

Treasury should develop a robust procedure to audit and
verify the bona fides of any purported capital raise in CDCI
and to establish adequate controls to verify the source,
amount and closing of all claimed private investments.

Treasury should revise CDCI terms to clarify that Treasury
inspection and copy rights continue until the entire CDCI
investment is terminated. Additionally, consistent with
recommendations made in connection with other TARP
programs, the terms should be revised to provide expressly
that SIGTARP shall have access to the CDFI’s records equal

Treasury refused to adopt this
recommendation, citing its belief that
current CPP participants may be unfairly
disadvantaged in their SBLF applications
if their existing CPP investments are
not counted as part of their capital
base, and that SBLF “already provides
substantial hurdles that CPP recipients
must overcome” that don’t apply to other
applicants.

For more than a year, Treasury refused to
adopt this recommendation, even though
average U.S. terms of unemployment
were lengthening. However, in July 2011,
the Administration announced a policy
change, and Treasury has extended the
minimum term of the unemployment
program from three months to 12
months, effective October 1, 2011.

Treasury plans to maintain the voluntary
nature of the program, providing an
explanation that on its face seems
unpersuasive to SIGTARP. SIGTARP will
continue to monitor performance.

Treasury has provided anticipated costs,
but not expected participation.

permanent modification, HAFA agreement, or any other
significant change affecting the homeowner’s participation in
the MHA program, be in writing.

Treasury should ensure that more detail is captured by
the MHA Compliance Committee meeting minutes. At a
minimum, the minutes should include MHA-C’s proposed
rating for each servicer, the committee members’ qualitative
and quantitative considerations regarding each servicer’s
ratings, the votes of each committee member, the final
rating for each servicer, justification for any difference in
that rating with MHA-C’s proposed rating, and any followup including escalation to Treasury’s Office of General
Counsel or the Assistant Secretary and the outcomes of that
escalation.

Treasury should establish detailed guidance and internal
controls governing how the MHA Servicer Compliance

Treasury has refused to adopt this
recommendation, saying it already
requires a loan servicer to communicate
in writing with a borrower an average
of 10 times. However, most written
requirements apply to a HAMP
application and Treasury’s response fails
to address homeowners who receive
miscommunication from servicers on
important milestones or changes.

Minutes of recent MHA Compliance
Committee meetings contain brief
explanations of servicer assessment
rating decisions. However, these
minutes do not explain the Committee’s
deliberations in detail, do not indicate
how members voted beyond a tally of
the votes, and do not discuss follow-up
actions or escalation.

Treasury made important changes to
its servicer assessments by including
metrics for the ratings, including several
quantitative metrics. However, qualitative
metrics to assess the servicer’s internal
controls in the three ratings categories
remain, and guidelines or criteria for
rating the effectiveness of internal
controls are still necessary.

Although Treasury previously agreed
to implement this recommendation,
Treasury only reviewed the legal fee bills
for one of the five law firms that SIGTARP
had already described as unreasonable.
Treasury refuses to seek any
reimbursement for those charges. See

allowable maximums set in contract TOFS-09-0001, task
order 1, and $22,546 in other direct costs not allowed
under contract TOFS-09-007, task order 1.

Treasury must ensure that all servicers participating in MHA
comply with program requirements by vigorously enforcing
the terms of the servicer participation agreements, including
using all financial remedies such as withholding, permanently

In order to allow for effective compliance and enforcement
in HAMP Tier 2, Treasury should require that the borrower
prove that the property has been rented and is occupied
by a tenant at the time the borrower applies for a loan
modification, as opposed to requiring only a certification
that the borrower intends to rent the property. As part of
the Request for Mortgage Assistance (“RMA”) application
for HAMP Tier 2, the borrower should provide the servicer
with a signed lease and third-party verified evidence of
occupancy in the form of documents showing that a renter
lives at the property address, such as a utility bill, driver’s
license, or proof of renter’s insurance. In the case of
multiple-unit properties under one mortgage Treasury should
require that the borrower provide the servicer with evidence
that at least one unit is occupied by a tenant as part of the
RMA.

The Office of the Special Master should develop more
robust policies, procedures, or guidelines to help ensure
that its pay determination process and its decisions are
evenhanded. These measures will improve transparency
and help the Office of the Special Master consistently apply
the Interim Final Rule principles of “appropriate allocation,”
“performance-based compensation,” and “comparable
structures and payments.”

The Office of the Special Master should better document
its use of market data in its calculations. At a minimum, the
Office of the Special Master should prospectively document
which companies and employees are used as comparisons
in its analysis of the 50th percentile of the market, and
it should also maintain records and data so that the
relationship between its determinations and benchmarks are
clearly understood.

To ensure that the Office of the Special Master consistently
grants exceptions to the $500,000 cash salary cap, the
Office of the Special Master should substantiate each
exception requested and whether the requests demonstrate
or fail to demonstrate “good cause.”

Treasury responded to this
recommendation by requiring that
borrowers certify that they intend to rent
the property for at least five years and
that they will make reasonable efforts
to rent. This does not go far enough.
Requiring only a self-certification, under
penalty of perjury, without a strong
compliance and enforcement regime to
ensure that the intent is carried out and
the property is actually rented, leaves the
program vulnerable to risks that TARP
funds will pay investors for modifications
for mortgages on vacation homes
that are not rented, and may delay, as
opposed to prevent, foreclosures and
increase HAMP redefault rates.

Treasury has not agreed to implement
this important recommendation.

OSM began memorializing in its records
justifications for exceptions. However,

communication with homeowners regarding denial of a
HAMP modification so that homeowners can move forward
with other foreclosure alternatives in a timely and fully
informed manner. To the extent that a servicer does not
follow Treasury’s guidelines on these communications,
Treasury should permanently withhold incentives from that
servicer.

Treasury should ensure that more detail is captured by the

In order to protect taxpayers who invested TARP funds

SIGTARP that it “share[s SIGTARP’s]
concerns about the integrity” of LIBOR,
and the Federal Reserve telling SIGTARP
that it agreed that “recent information
regarding the way the LIBOR has been
calculated has created some uncertainty
about the reliability of the rate.”

Treasury has not implemented this
recommendation. SIGTARP found a lack
of detail in Treasury’s meeting minutes
and because Treasury failed to document
its oversight, SIGTARP was unable to
verify Treasury’s role in the oversight of
servicers or its compliance agent Freddie
Mac.

Treasury has not implemented this
recommendation. Servicers’ failure to
communicate denial in a timely manner
can have serious consequences because
a delay may prevent homeowners from
finding other foreclosure alternatives
sooner.

Treasury has not implemented this
recommendation. Servicer errors using
NPV inputs and the lack of properly
maintained records on NPV inputs have
diminished compliance and placed the
protection of homeowner’s rights to
challenge servicer error at risk.

In order to fulfill Treasury’s responsibility to wind down its
TARP investments in a way that promotes financial stability
and preserves the strength of our nation’s community
banks, Treasury should undertake an analysis in consultation
with Federal banking regulators that ensures that it is exiting
its Capital Purchase Program investments in a way that
satisfies the goals of CPP, which are to promote financial
stability, maintain confidence in the financial system and
enable lending. This financial stability analysis of a bank’s
exit from TARP should determine at a minimum: (1) that the
bank will remain healthy and viable in the event of an auction
of Treasury’s preferred shares; and (2) that the bank’s exit
from TARP does not have a negative impact on the banking
industry at a community, state, regional, and national level.
Treasury should document that analysis and consultation.

Treasury should better document its decision whether or not
to auction its preferred shares in a TARP bank to adequately
reflect the considerations made for each bank and detailed
rationale.

Each year, Treasury should reevaluate total compensation
for those employees at TARP exceptional assistance
companies remaining in the Top 25 from the prior year,
including determining whether to reduce total compensation.

To ensure that Treasury effectively applies guidelines aimed
at curbing excessive pay and reducing risk taking, Treasury
should develop policies, procedures, and criteria for

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

301

To be consistent with Treasury’s Interim Final Rule that the
portion of performance-based compensation compared
to total compensation should be greater for positions that
exercise higher levels of responsibility, Treasury should
return to using long-term restricted stock for employees,
particularly senior employees such as CEOs.

Treasury should conduct in-depth research and analysis to
determine the causes of redefaults of HAMP permanent
mortgage modifications and the characteristics of loans
or the homeowner that may be more at risk for redefault.
Treasury should require servicers to submit any additional
information that Treasury needs to conduct this research
and analysis. Treasury should make the results of this
analysis public and issue findings based on this analysis,
so that others can examine, build on, and learn from this
research.

As a result of the findings of Treasury’s research and
analysis into the causes of HAMP redefaults, and
characteristics of redefaults, Treasury should modify
aspects of HAMP and the other TARP housing programs in
ways to reduce the number of redefaults.

Treasury should require servicers to develop and use
an “early warning system” to identify and reach out to
homeowners that may be at risk of redefaulting on a
HAMP mortgage modification, including providing or
recommending counseling and other assistance and
directing them to other TARP housing programs.

Treasury should independently analyze whether good cause
exists to award a Top 25 employee a pay raise or a cash
salary over $500,000. To ensure that the Office of the
Special Master has sufficient time to conduct this analysis,
Treasury should allow OSM to work on setting Top 25 pay
prior to OSM’s receiving the company pay proposals, which
starts the 60-day timeline.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Treasury and the Federal banking regulators should
improve coordination when collaborating on current and
future initiatives by (1) defining the roles of all participants
at the outset of collaborative efforts by creating precise
and directed governing documents (i.e., charters) that
clearly address the responsibilities of each entity; and (2)
jointly documenting processes and procedures, including
flowcharts, risk management tools, and reporting systems
to ensure that objectives are met. Each participant should
sign off to demonstrate their understanding of, and
agreement with, these procedures.

To increase small-business lending by former TARP banks
participating in SBLF, Treasury should work with the banks
to establish new, achievable plans to increase lending going
forward.

To preserve the amount of capital former TARP banks
participating in SBLF have to lend, the primary Federal
banking regulators (the Federal Reserve, FDIC, or OCC)
should not approve dividend distributions to common
shareholders of former TARP banks that have not effectively
increased small-business lending while in SBLF.

In order to prevent confusion, promote transparency, and
present taxpayers who funded TARP with clear and accurate
reporting, when Treasury discusses the amount of TARP
funds (or CPP funds) recovered or repaid, Treasury should
not count the $2.1 billion in TARP investments that Treasury
refinanced into the Small Business Lending Fund, which is
outside of TARP.

To ensure that homeowners in HAMP get sustainable relief
from foreclosure, Treasury should research and analyze
whether and to what extent the conduct of HAMP mortgage
servicers may contribute to homeowners redefaulting
on HAMP permanent mortgage modifications.To provide
transparency and accountability, Treasury should publish its
conclusions and determinations.

Note: * Indicates that Treasury considers the recommendation closed and will take no further action.

In the letter Treasury already requires servicers to send to
homeowners who have redefaulted on a HAMP modification
about possible options to foreclosure, Treasury should
require the servicers to include other available alternative
assistance options under TARP such as the Hardest Hit
Fund and HAMP Tier 2, so that homeowners can move
forward with other alternatives, if appropriate, in a timely
and fully informed manner. To the extent that a servicer
does not follow Treasury’s rules in this area, Treasury should
permanently withhold incentives from that servicer.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I OCTOBER 29, 2013

Treasury should publicly assess and report quarterly on
the status of the ten largest HAMP servicers in meeting
Treasury’s benchmark for an acceptable homeowner
redefault rate on HAMP permanent mortgage modifications,
indicate why any servicer fell short of the benchmark,
require the servicer to make changes to reduce the
number of homeowners who redefault in HAMP, and use
enforcement remedies including withholding, permanently
reducing, or clawing back incentive payments for any
servicer that fails to comply in a timely manner.

To protect the investment taxpayers made through TARP in
community banks and to ensure that these banks continue
to lend in their communities which is a goal of TARP’s Capital
Purchase Program, Treasury should enforce its right to
appoint directors for CPP institutions that have failed to pay
six or more quarterly TARP dividend or interest payments.

In enforcing its right to appoint directors to the board
of CPP institutions that have failed to pay six or more
quarterly dividend or interest payments, Treasury should
prioritize appointing directors to the board of those CPP
institutions that meet one or more of the following criteria:
(1) rejected Treasury’s request to send officials to observe
board meetings; (2) have failed to pay a large number of
TARP dividend payments or that owe the largest amount
of delinquent TARP dividends; or (3) is currently subject to
an order from their Federal banking regulator, particularly
orders related to the health or condition of the bank or
its board of directors. In addition, Treasury should use
information learned from Treasury officials that have
observed the bank’s board meetings to assist in prioritizing
its determination of banks to which Treasury should appoint
directors.

To protect the investment taxpayers made in TARP and to
ensure that institutions continue to lend in low and moderate
income communities which is the goal of TARP’s Community
Development Capital Initiative, Treasury should enforce its
right to appoint directors to CDCI institutions that have failed
to pay eight or more TARP quarterly dividend (or interest)
payments.

Treasury should establish an achievable benchmark for a
redefault rate on HAMP permanent mortgage modifications
that represents acceptable program performance and
publicly report against that benchmark.

APPENDIX A I GLOSSARY I OCTOBER 29, 2013

GLOSSARY
This appendix provides a glossary of terms that are used in the context of this report.
7(a) Loan Program: SBA loan program guaranteeing
a percentage of loans for small businesses that cannot
otherwise obtain conventional loans at reasonable terms.
Accredited Investors: Individuals or institutions that
by law are considered financially sophisticated enough
so that they can invest in ventures that are exempt from
investor protection laws. Under U.S. securities laws, these
include many financial companies, pension plans, wealthy
individuals, and top executives or directors of the issuing
companies.
Asset-Backed Securities (“ABS”): Bonds backed by a
portfolio of consumer or corporate loans (e.g., credit card,
auto, or small-business loans). Financial companies typically
issue ABS backed by existing loans in order to fund new loans
for their customers.
Collateral: Asset pledged by a borrower to a lender until a
loan is repaid. Generally, if the borrower defaults on the loan,
the lender gains ownership of the pledged asset and may sell
it to satisfy the debt. In TALF, the ABS or CMBS purchased
with the TALF loan is the collateral that is posted with
FRBNY.
Collateralized Debt Obligation (“CDO”): A security that
entitles the purchaser to some part of the cash flows from a
portfolio of assets such as mortgage-backed securities, bonds,
loans, or other CDOs.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (“CMBS”):
Bonds backed by one or more mortgages on commercial real
estate (e.g., office buildings, rental apartments, hotels).
Common Stock: Equity ownership entitling an individual to
share in corporate earnings and voting rights.
Community Development Financial Institutions
(“CDFIs”): Financial institutions eligible for Treasury
funding to serve urban and rural low-income communities
through the CDFI Fund. CDFIs were created in 1994
by the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory
Improvement Act.

Credit Default Swap (“CDS”): A contract where the seller
receives payments from the buyer in return for agreeing to
pay the buyer when a particular credit event occurs, such
as when the credit rating on a bond is downgraded or a
loan goes into default. The buyer does not need to own the
asset covered by the contract, meaning the swap can serve
essentially as a bet against the underlying bond or loan.
Cumulative Preferred Stock: Stock requiring a defined
dividend payment. If the company does not pay the dividend
on schedule, it still owes the missed dividend to the stock’s
owner.
Cumulative Redefault Rate: The total number of HAMP
permanent modifications that have redefaulted (as of
a specific date) divided by the total number of HAMP
permanent modifications started (as of the same specific
date).
Custodian Bank: Bank holding the collateral and managing
accounts for FRBNY; for TALF the custodian is Bank of New
York Mellon.
Debt: Investment in a business that is required to be paid
back to the investor, usually with interest.
Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure: Instead of going through
foreclosure, the borrower voluntarily surrenders the deed
to the home to the investor as
