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
April 30, 2014

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
the Inspector General Act of 1978, including the power to issue subpoenas.

SIGTARP seeks individual accountability in the form of serious jail time, particularly for senior bank officers
that put the safety of their bank and the taxpayers’ TARP investment at risk. As of April 2, 2014, SIGTARP’s
investigations have resulted in criminal charges against 188 individuals. Already 129 have been convicted with
others awaiting trial. Of those, 80 have been sentenced to prison, and 94 have industry bans/suspensions. We also
seek corporate accountability. For example, Jefferies LLC agreed to substantial corporate changes and a $25 million
penalty after a jury convicted Jefferies trader Jesse Litvak for criminally defrauding (by overcharging) customers,
including PPIP funds in TARP; and Bank of America, its former CEO and former CFO agreed to pay $32.5 million
to settle a civil action by the New York Attorney General resulting from a SIGTARP investigation into their failure
to disclose losses at Merrill Lynch and snookering the Government into an additional TARP bailout. CEO Lewis
agreed to be banned from serving as an officer or director of a public company for 3 years, and CFO Price agreed to
be banned for 18 months.

SIGTARP’s law enforcement successes restore public confidence in our financial system and help end moral hazard
by bringing consequences to those who break the law. We reduce vulnerabilities and mitigate future harm by
removing those who have already shown a willingness to break the law. Recouping funds lost to TARP-related crime
or civil violations of the law is a vital part of recovery, and SIGTARP’s investigations have already resulted in court
orders for the return of $4.77 billion to the Government and victims. TARP-related crime has a dangerous ripple
effect, hurting those beyond the immediate victims (homeowners and investors), such as American taxpayers who
funded the bailout, the Government, local communities, and our broader economy. It can contribute to the failure
of a bank, may leave a bank vulnerable to takeover, and can threaten the bank’s ability to repay TARP or pay TARP
dividends. SIGTARP works to bring justice to all victims of TARP-related crime.

I am pleased to present the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program’s
(“SIGTARP”) quarterly report. Recovery from a crisis comes in two equally important stages: immediate triage,
followed by longer-term planning and rebuilding to reduce vulnerabilities, strengthen infrastructure, and mitigate
future harm. In this second stage, there has been some progress through reforms that have been implemented, but
there is much more work to be done.

SIGTARP’s work is far from over as the long-term second stage of recovery from the crisis will take time and
continued hard work. We continue to uncover new TARP-related criminal schemes. Persistent oversight and law
enforcement by SIGTARP is necessary to restore confidence and advance economic stability through justice and
accountability. Long term full recovery from the financial crisis depends on it.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Recovery from a crisis comes in two equally important stages: immediate triage,
followed by longer-term thoughtful planning and action to reduce vulnerabilities,
strengthen infrastructure, and mitigate future harm. With the financial system
and TARP in this second stage, there has been some progress through reforms
that have been implemented, but there is much more work to be done. Our nation
needs continued progress in eliminating a significant legacy of TARP that has
left our nation vulnerable — moral hazard — the belief by bailed-out institutions
that they can play by their own set of rules without regard for consequences.
Moral hazard is not just a concern for the largest TARP banks, but of TARP
recipients of any size who believe that they can play by a different set of rules
without consequences. Ending moral hazard requires important ongoing work by
regulators on rules to strengthen the financial system and reduce vulnerabilities,
and necessitates a change in culture by some institutions. SIGTARP has reported
on cultures at TARP institutions that were vulnerable to moral hazard, including,
for example, reports on the culture of profit-seeking and risk-taking at select large
TARP companies that left them near failure, cultures at TARP companies that
resulted in them fighting against limits on executive compensation while in TARP,
and cultures that resulted in large TARP companies pushing to exit TARP short of
capital requirements set by Federal banking regulators.
A necessary part of the second stage of long-term crisis recovery is law
enforcement, another area where SIGTARP plays a crucial role as a criminal law
enforcement agency. Our law enforcement successes help end moral hazard by
bringing consequences to those who did not play by the rules, but instead broke the
law. This important work also reduces vulnerabilities in the financial system and
mitigates future harm by removing from the system those who have already shown
a willingness to break the law. It deters those who may contemplate breaking the
law in the future. These are the broader reasons why SIGTARP’s work matters,
whether related to a large or small TARP recipient. They matter to taxpayers who
funded the bailout. They matter to the communities TARP institutions serve. They
matter to instill confidence in the financial system, and make it stronger for the
future.
Recouping funds lost to TARP-related crime or civil violations of the law is
a vital part of long-term recovery from the crisis, and SIGTARP’s investigations
have already resulted in court orders for the return of money to the Government
or victims (including the Government as a victim) of $4.77 billion. Not all crimes
investigated by SIGTARP will result in a direct loss to Treasury. In some cases,
bank insiders committed bank fraud by falsifying books and records that banking
regulators relied on in reviewing a bank’s TARP application, but the bank ultimately
did not receive TARP funds. For example, after uncovering that TARP-applicant
Colonial Bank was engaged in a massive fraud scheme with Taylor, Bean and
Whitaker, SIGTARP was able to prevent $550 million in TARP funds already
approved by Treasury from going to Colonial, all of which would have been lost
when the bank failed. While SIGTARP prevented the loss to Treasury, the FDIC
estimated it would suffer a $4.5 billion loss from the bank failure — a failure due
to the fraud. SIGTARP’s investigation led to prison sentences for eight senior

5

officers and court orders for the return of $3.5 billion. In other cases, a TARP bank
may become a victim of a crime or civil fraud (by those inside or outside the bank)
and suffer losses but may still be able to repay TARP or may be acquired by another
bank that repays TARP. Sometimes, Treasury will suffer a loss from crime.i
SIGTARP investigations also matter to the victims of TARP-related crimes and
civil violations of the law. Previous SIGTARP reports have educated the public
about how struggling homeowners can become victims of TARP-related crime,
particularly those scammed into believing that they were applying to TARP’s
HAMP program, but were instead being tricked out of their last dollars and the
critical time necessary to seek other foreclosure alternatives. As a result, some
even lost their homes. The HAMP program can also be a victim of these crimes if
homeowners become wary to seek help from TARP. Beyond homeowners, it is not
always fully understood who the victims are of other TARP-related white-collar
crimes involving banks and other financial institutions. Anyone who has fallen
victim to these crimes will tell you that these are not victimless crimes. SIGTARP
has identified immediate victims of TARP-related crime in each of the 50 states
and Washington, DC.

The Dangerous Ripple Effect of TARP-related Crime
TARP-related crimes (as well as civil fraud) leave many victims in their wake
and have a dangerous ripple effect, hurting those beyond the immediate victims
(homeowners and investors), such as taxpayers who funded the bailout, local
communities, and our broader economy. Victims of TARP-related crime and civil
fraud include:
•
•

The nation’s banking system and economy

i Some banks have repaid the TARP investment 100% in full, and also paid dividends or interest to Treasury for taking on risk. However,
not all banks paid the dividends as required and in some instances the dividends paid to Treasury did not adequately cover the risk.
Treasury has realized or expects to realize losses of $4.73 billion from 29 failed or bankrupt TARP banks and 184 banks that did
not fully repay TARP and Treasury took a loss on the investment. Not all of these losses will be associated with crime investigated by
SIGTARP, but some will.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

TARP-related crime can have a ripple effect through the financial system and
economy. One lesson learned from TARP is that our financial system is built on
institutions that are interconnected as
counterparties and investors. Fraud at
TARP-related crime can have a ripple

and counterparties. Law enforcement
and economy.
is critical to the second stage of crisis
recovery, because it makes our system
and economy less vulnerable to that
ripple effect.
Law enforcement is also necessary to restore public confidence in our financial
system. When Treasury asked Congress for TARP authority, then-Treasury
Secretary Paulson explained that TARP was necessary to restore confidence in the
financial system. Crime in banks, particularly by insiders at banks that applied for
or received TARP, erodes the American public’s confidence in the banking system
making the banking system another victim of the crime. SIGTARP works to restore
confidence in the banking system by arresting individuals charged with committing
crime at TARP and TARP-applicant banks, assisting in their prosecution and ban
from the banking industry, and investigating and assisting in the prosecution of
corporations for their violations of the law.
When TARP-related fraud seeps into the mortgage origination process, the
securitization process (in which mortgages are bundled into complex mortgage
backed securities), or the markets where mortgage bonds are traded, the
consequences can spread to more victims including Americans whose retirements
may be invested in these securities. An important lesson learned from the financial
crisis is that dangerously interconnected mortgage-backed securities can have a
significant impact on our economy. TARP schemes related to these investments can
jeopardize confidence in these bonds and bond markets, which, if wide-spread, can
limit credit access to American consumers, or raise their borrowing costs. They may
also raise questions about the quality of the underlying mortgages in bonds, and
can steer investors away from these securities, leading to less availability and higher
costs for qualified applicants seeking mortgages. TARP was meant to establish
broad confidence in the market, provide financial stability, and reignite the flow of
credit. However, fraud in the mortgage market can undermine each of these goals.
SIGTARP stands committed to stamping out all crime and civil violations of the
law related to the TARP bailout at the corporate and individual level and securing
justice for all victims.
Corporate accountability: We seek corporate accountability for violations of the
law. We will refer a corporation for criminal prosecution where appropriate. Our
investigations have resulted in non-prosecution agreements and civil complaints by
prosecutors against corporations that have led to significant corporate change to
avoid future violations of the law and penalties. These penalties must be substantial

7

to avoid the risk that they become a cost of doing business. Some notable examples
include:
• Crime in TARP’s Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP) in which
Treasury-hired fund managers bought and sold mortgage-backed securities
using TARP funds, harms the Government, hinders taxpayers’ returns, hurts
other investors, and could hurt the market as a whole. On January 29, 2014,
as a result of SIGTARP’s investigation, mortgage broker-dealer Jefferies, LLC
entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney for the
District of Connecticut agreeing to substantial corporate changes and to pay
a $25 million penalty, after a jury convicted Jefferies trader Jesse Litvak for
criminally defrauding customers, including PPIP funds, by overcharging them
for residential mortgage-backed securities by more than $2 million, which led
to increased revenue for Jefferies and an increased bonus for Litvak. SIGTARP
special agents arrested Litvak after conducting our investigation, which was the
first criminal case brought under the President’s Residential Mortgage Backed
Securities working group.
• Violations of the securities laws by PPIP managers who were hired by Treasury
for TARP also harm Treasury. The Securities and Exchange Commission and
the Department of Labor settled a civil lawsuit resulting from a SIGTARP
investigation with those agencies that uncovered that PPIP fund manager
Western Asset Management Company, (“Western Asset”), a Legg Mason
subsidiary, engaged in illegal “cross trades” that favored some clients over others.
Western Asset agreed to significant corporate changes and to pay more than $21
million including $1 million to be paid to Treasury.
• Corporate fraud related to TARP can hurt shareholders and Treasury, on behalf
of taxpayers who funded TARP. This month, the New York State Attorney
General (“NYAG”) settled a civil lawsuit resulting from one of SIGTARP’s first
investigations that sought accountability from a TARP bank for not playing by
the rules, in violation of the law. Our investigation with the NYAG revealed that
Bank of America and two of its top executives, former CEO Kenneth Lewis and
former CFO Joe Price, duped shareholders by not disclosing massive losses at
Merrill Lynch (which Bank of America was in the process of acquiring) and
snookered the Federal Government into investing billions of taxpayer dollars
into the company through an additional TARP investment. Bank of America
and CEO Lewis agreed to pay $25 million. CEO Lewis will pay $10 million of
that amount and agreed to be banned from serving as an officer or director of
a public company for three years. In addition, Price agreed to pay $7.5 million
and be banned as an officer or director of a public company for 18 months.
• Civil fraud at a TARP bank related to faulty mortgages can lead to substantial
losses for Government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
On October 23, 2013, a Federal jury in Manhattan, New York, found Bank
of America and former executive Rebecca Mairone liable for defrauding the
United States in a civil fraud case brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for
the Southern District of New York, resulting from a SIGTARP investigation.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Our investigation with our law enforcement partners uncovered fraud by
Countrywide Financial Corporation and its successor, TARP recipient Bank
of America, before and during the bank’s time in TARP. Bank of America
originated a high volume of mortgages in a high speed process called the
“Hustle” (for “High-Speed Swim Lane” or “HSSL”) for sale to Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac. Bank of America removed quality control checks that could slow
down the process. Senior management responsible for this program made no
changes to the “Hustle,” despite repeated warnings that eliminating toll gates
for quality control and fraud prevention and compensating loan processors
based on volume would result in disastrous results. The results were, in fact,
disastrous. Based on Bank of America’s representations about underwriting
and other quality requirements of the loans, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
purchased thousands of fraudulent and otherwise defective residential mortgage
loans that later defaulted, causing enormous losses.
Individual accountability: SIGTARP seeks individual accountability in the form
of serious jail time particularly for senior bank officers that put the safety of their
bank at risk and taxpayers’ TARP investment at risk because there must be real
consequences for breaking the law. As of April 2, 2014, SIGTARP’s investigations
have resulted in
• Criminal charges against 188 defendants (123 of which were senior officers at
their institution) filed in federal courts in 20 states.
• Although it takes time to reach trial, already 129 of those defendants have been
convicted, while others await trial.
• Of those convicted, 80 have been sentenced to prison, and others await
sentencing.
• Permanent bans (or suspensions) of 94 defendants from the banking, financial
or other industry.
Crimes against a TARP bank bailed out with taxpayer dollars are, simply put,
crimes against taxpayers. SIGTARP has uncovered criminal schemes committed
by insiders of TARP banks or individuals outside the bank who target those
institutions. The crime typically causes losses to the bank that shareholders must
bear, including Treasury who became a shareholder in TARP banks on behalf of
taxpayers in exchange for TARP funds. These losses can be enough to threaten the
bank’s health and its ability to lend to its community.

Victims of TARP-Related Crimes at Failed Banks
TARP-related crime can contribute to the failure of a TARP bank or TARPapplicant bank. When a bank fails, it triggers losses to the FDIC who insures
deposits. In some SIGTARP cases, courts have determined that the loss
attributable to the crime includes the expected cost to the FDIC when taking
over the bank. If the failed bank is a TARP bank, the failure typically wipes out
taxpayers’ entire TARP investment and any unpaid TARP dividends.

Beyond the bottom line, the impact

put, crimes against taxpayers.
lost, an important source of lending
quickly disappears for the community
served making it harder for small
businesses to get necessary loans and the public to get traditional banking services.
The consequences can be particularly harmful where the crime impacts a bank
operating in an underserved community, a community that is then deprived of a
much-needed source of lending.
SIGTARP investigations have resulted in criminal charges against bank officers
at failed TARP banks and TARP-applicant banks for crimes such as bank fraud,
wire fraud, conspiracy, false entries in bank books, obstructing a bank examination,
bribery, and money laundering. Some of the alleged criminal conduct investigated
by SIGTARP at TARP banks include, for example, bank officers who hid the bank’s
true deteriorating financial condition from bank regulators; bank officers who
used a variety of fraudulent accounting tricks such as falsifying “call reports” on
loans to hide the true financial nature of the bank; a bank officer authorizing the
bank to lend to purchasers that the officer knew were straw purchasers in order to
circumvent the bank’s internal controls; and a bank officer scamming the bank into
closing a real estate deal in order to personally pocket hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
SIGTARP investigations have also resulted in criminal charges against
defendants outside the bank such as real estate developers or other bank customers
for defrauding TARP banks that later failed. The alleged criminal conduct included,
for example, husband and wife owners of a décor store who used a second set
of books that overstated accounts receivables to obtain banks loans that later
defaulted; a borrower who conspired with bank officers to use straw purchasers to
obtain loans for real property fraudulently when the bank would have exceeded its
legal lending limit to that borrower that later defaulted; borrowers who defrauded
a TARP bank by submitting false requests to draw down on loans purportedly
for construction costs, money that they used for other purposes, later defaulting
on the loan; and a borrower who defrauded a TARP bank by submitting a false
HUD-1 form in order to obtain a bigger loan from the bank so that he could pocket
hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Victims of TARP-Related Crimes at Banks where Bank Did
Not Fail
In some cases, crimes related to TARP may leave a bank with such declining health
that it becomes vulnerable to be taken over by another institution. SIGTARP
uncovered that First Community Bank President Reginald Harper turned to fraud
to hide past due loans owed by Troy Fouquet from the bank, its regulators, and
Treasury in the bank’s TARP application. After Treasury approved First Community

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Bank to receive $3.3 million in TARP funds, the bank withdrew its application
believing the funds were not needed. Harper and Fouquet’s $3 million dollar fraud
scheme, involved making sham loans to Fouquet through straw borrowers and
their cover-up lasted years. According to courtroom testimony at sentencing by
a First Community director, the losses the bank suffered as a result of the fraud
left it vulnerable to acquisition and the bank was subsequently acquired. Harper
was sentenced to 2 years in Federal prison (followed by 3 years of supervised
release) and Fouquet was sentenced to 1.5 years in Federal prison (followed by 3
years of supervised release), and they were ordered to pay First Community Bank
$570,955.
The losses caused by crime can also threaten the ability of the bank to pay its
TARP dividends. SIGTARP along with its law enforcement partners, arrested
executives of mortgage loan originator American Mortgage Specialists, Inc.
(“AMS”), including CEO Scott Powers and executive David McMaster after
uncovering that they defrauded TARP bank BNC National Bank (“BNC”) about
the financial condition of their mortgage origination company in order to obtain
funding. The $28 million in losses BNC sustained as a result of the fraud scheme
exceeded BNC’s $20 million TARP bailout, leaving it unable to pay its TARP
dividend payments for three years. Powers was sentenced to 8 years in Federal
prison (followed by 5 years supervised release) and McMaster was sentenced
to 15 years 8 months in Federal prison (followed by 5 years supervised release).
The court ordered each defendant to pay the Government $28 million and to pay
restitution to BNC bank in that same amount.
A defrauded TARP bank may be unable to repay the TARP investment in full.
Following a SIGTARP investigation, loan officer Christopher Tumbaga was
convicted of bank fraud and illegally receiving kickbacks for procuring loans.
Tumbaga was involved in a two-year long scheme that defrauded TARP bank
Colorado East Bank & Trust out of approximately $1.2 million. The bank was
unable to repay the full $10 million TARP investment, and Treasury sold its stake
for $9 million at a $1 million loss on the principal investment. In a separate case,
SIGTARP uncovered that Edward Polen ran a $16 million Ponzi scheme writing
insufficient fund checks to investors from accounts at TARP banks, including F&M
Bank. F&M Bank was unable to repay TARP in full and Treasury realized a $3.8
million loss on its TARP investment. Polen was sentenced to 5 years in Federal
prison (followed by 5 years supervised release).
SIGTARP’s work is far from over as the long-term second stage of recovery from
the crisis will take time and require continued hard work. Although these examples
demonstrate patterns of crime and civil violations of the law that SIGTARP has
found, we continue to uncover new TARP-related criminal schemes. Persistent
oversight and law enforcement by SIGTARP is necessary to restore confidence and
advance economic stability by bringing justice and accountability. Long term full
recovery from the financial crisis depends on it.

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 in order 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 130 recommendations as of April
10, 2014, 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 April 2, 2014, 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 188 individuals, including 123 senior officers (CEOs,
owners, founders, or senior executives) of their organizations
• criminal convictions of 129 defendants
• prison sentences for 80 defendants (others are awaiting sentencing)
i Criminal charges are not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

On March 7, 2014, Jesse C. Litvak was convicted after a jury trial in U.S. District
Court for the District of Connecticut, on all 15 counts related to his scheme to
defraud TARP and customers trading in residential mortgage-backed securities.
Victim-customers included funds that were established by the U.S. Department of
the Treasury’s (“Treasury”) Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”). Litvak, a
former senior trader and managing director at the global securities and investment
banking firm Jefferies, LLC (“Jefferies”), was convicted of defrauding TARP,

securities fraud, and making false statements to the Federal Government. Litvak
was arrested by SIGTARP agents on January 28, 2013. Litvak is scheduled to be
sentenced on May 30, 2014. For each count of the most serious charge, securities
fraud, Litvak faces a maximum of 20 years in Federal prison.
PPIP was intended to purchase certain troubled real estate-related securities,
including types of residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) from financial
institutions in order to allow those financial institutions to free up capital
and extend new credit. Beginning in late 2009, as part of PPIP, the Federal
Government used more than $20 billion in TARP money to fund the PublicPrivate Investment Funds (“PPIF”) that would purchase the troubled securities. To
participate in the PPIP program, PPIF managers agreed to buy or sell only certain
types of RMBS, including those in which Litvak specialized. RMBS are bonds
that comprise large pools of residential mortgage loans created by banks and other
financial institutions. RMBS bonds are sold through broker-dealers, who execute
individually negotiated transactions. As a broker-dealer, only Litvak knew the sell
and buy prices of RMBS bonds. As part of his scheme, Litvak exploited this lack
of transparency by misrepresenting the seller’s asking price to the buyer as well as
the buyer’s asking price to the seller. With the fraudulent buy and sell prices, Litvak
was able to illegally increase commissions and keep the profits for Jefferies. Litvak
also created fictitious third-party sellers to sell bonds actually held in Jefferies’
inventory. This allowed Litvak to charge the buyer an extra broker commission
that Jefferies was not entitled to as Jefferies was the true owner. Through these
schemes, Litvak stole more than $2 million from numerous PPIP funds and
multiple private investment funds.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
District of Connecticut, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of the
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Working Group.
Investment Bank Agrees to Pay $25 Million for Fraudulent Trading –
Jefferies, LLC

On January 29, 2014, Jefferies, LLC (“Jefferies”), an investment bank and
broker-dealer, entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s
Office for the District of Connecticut relating to the firm’s purchase and sale of
residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”). Jefferies agreed to pay $25
million as part of the agreement related to abuses in the trading of mortgagebacked securities.
In March 2009, the Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) announced the
creation of the Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”), with the goal to create
partnerships with private investors to buy certain troubled real-estate securities
in the wake of the financial crisis. These partnerships, known as Public-Private
Investment Funds (“PPIF”), would invest in mortgage-backed securities using
private investments and TARP equity. In response to the financial collapse, the
Federal Government used more than $20 billion from TARP to fund the PPIFs.
Each PPIF was established and managed by a PPIP fund manager selected by

Treasury. Jefferies’ Mortgage and Asset-Backed Securities Trading Group made
trades in RMBS with PPIFs, among others.
Starting in 2009, certain Jefferies traders fraudulently increased the profitability
of certain Jefferies trades in various ways, including misrepresenting the RMBS
seller’s asking price to the buyer, misrepresenting the buyer’s asking price to the
seller, and concealing the fact that some bonds were being sold from Jefferies’
inventory in order to charge buyers an extra commission. The difference in sale
and buy prices, and the extra commission charged to customers, were illegal
profits obtained through Jefferies fraudulent trading practices. Additionally, some
of Jefferies management in the fixed income division were aware of the fraudulent
trading practices and failed to stop it. As part of the agreement, Jefferies agreed to
pay $25 million: up to $11 million to customers harmed in the fraudulent trades,
at least $10 million to the Treasury, and $4 million to the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Jesse C. Litvak, a former Jefferies senior trader and managing director, was
convicted on March 7, 2014, for TARP fraud, securities fraud, and making false
statements to the Federal Government. Litvak was arrested by SIGTARP agents on
January 28, 2013, and is scheduled to be sentenced on May 30, 2014.
This matter is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for
the District of Connecticut, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of the
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Working Group.
Bank of America and Former CEO Kenneth Lewis Enter into $25 Million
Settlement with the New York Attorney General over Misrepresentations to
Shareholders and the Federal Government – Lewis Banned from Industry for
Three Years

On March 25, 2014, Bank of America Corporation (“Bank of America”) and
its former CEO, Kenneth Lewis, agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by the New
York Attorney General alleging that the bank and its top executives fraudulently
withheld from investors forecasted losses in excess of $9 billion at Merrill Lynch
& Co., Inc. (“Merrill”) for its 2008 fourth quarter, while at the same time asking
shareholders to approve a merger with Merrill. Despite concealing these forecasted
losses from investors, Bank of America then immediately sought massive financial
assistance from the Federal Government in the form of $20 billion in TARP funds
claiming that there had been a “material adverse change” in Merrill’s financial
condition over the previous three months. Bank of America continued to conceal
Merrill’s forecasted losses until mid-January 2009, when disclosure of Merrill’s
multibillion dollar fourth quarter loss led to a $50 billion sell-off in the shares of
Bank of America. The lawsuit also alleges that Lewis and the bank’s former CFO,
Joe Price, misrepresented to shareholders the impact that the merger would have
on Bank of America’s future earnings.
According to settlement documents, Bank of America agreed to pay $15
million to reimburse the cost of the investigation. Bank of America also agreed to
create numerous corporate reforms such as creating a new corporate development
committee; enhancing the audit, disclosures, enterprise risk and corporate

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

governance committee charters; revising the corporate governance guidelines;
and implementing and maintaining incentive compensation principles that are
published on the Bank of America website. As part of the settlement, Kenneth
Lewis agreed to a 3-year ban from serving as an officer or director of a public
company, and to pay $10 million to the State of New York for his role in the matter.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP and the Office of the Attorney General
for the State of New York.
Senior Officers of First Failed TARP Bank Charged with Falsifying Bank’s Books
and Records Prior to TARP Application; Collapse of Bank Resulted in Loss of
More than $300 Million in TARP Funds - UCBH

On March 11, 2014, a superseding indictment in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California charged two former senior executives of TARP
recipient United Commercial Bank Holdings, Inc. (“UCBH”), the first TARP bank
to fail, with securities and bank fraud that involved deceiving the FDIC, the SEC
and UCBH’s auditors by falsifying the bank’s books and records, including public
filings and financial call reports. The FDIC reviewed these public filings and call
reports as part of the bank’s application for TARP bailout funds and these records
were part of the basis of the Treasury awarding UCBH $298.7 million in Federal
taxpayer TARP funds in November 2008.
Ebrahim Shabudin, former Executive Vice President, Chief Credit Officer,
and Chief Operating Officer, and Thomas Yu, former Senior Vice President and
manager of Credit Risk and Portfolio Management, are charged with concealing
the true health of the bank in the months prior to the bank receiving TARP funds.
Decisions on TARP applications were made by Federal banking regulators and
Treasury based on the health of the bank. Previously, these senior officers had
also been indicted for fraud related to the bank’s books after Treasury became
a shareholder in the bank with TARP funds. For the most serious offense, bank
fraud, each defendant faces a maximum of 30 years in Federal prison.
Shabudin and Yu stand charged of participating in a scheme to hide the true
financial state of UCBH as the bank’s loan portfolio deteriorated. Shabudin and Yu
allegedly deceived the investing public, shareholders, and the FDIC by fraudulently
manipulating the bank’s books, concealing known losses from bad loans, and hiding
known decreases in the value of collateral for loans to give the impression that the
bank’s performance and condition were far better than reality.
The failure of UCBH in November 2009, less than one year after it received
TARP funds, caused Treasury on behalf of Federal taxpayers to lose the initial
TARP investment of $298.7 million and $3.7 million in TARP dividends the bank
owed to Treasury.
Bank Executives and Co-conspirators Indicted for Their Roles in a TARP Bank
Fraud Scheme Leading to Bank Failure – Sonoma Valley Bank

On March 18, 2014, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California, an indictment was filed charging four defendants for their roles in a
bank fraud scheme that caused TARP recipient Sonoma Valley Bank (“SVB”) to

19

20

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

suffer over $9 million in losses and caused SVB to fail in August 2010. SVB never
repaid the $8.65 million in TARP funds it received in February 2009. The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was named receiver.
Sean Cutting, the former President and CEO of SVB, was charged with twelve
counts of money laundering, six counts of wire fraud, five counts of false bank
entries, one count each of conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud, conspiracy
to commit money laundering, conspiracy to misapply bank funds, bank fraud, and
making false statements. Brian Melland, the former chief lending officer of SVB,
was charged with twelve counts of money laundering, six counts of wire fraud,
and one count each of conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud, conspiracy to
make false statements, conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to
misapply bank funds, and bank fraud. Bijan Madjlessi, a commercial real estate
developer, and David Lonich, Madjlessi’s attorney and business partner, were each
charged with twelve counts of money laundering, five counts of making false bank
entries, six counts of wire fraud, and one count each of conspiracy to commit
wire and bank fraud, conspiracy to make false statements, conspiracy to commit
money laundering, and bank fraud. Madjlessi and Lonich are further charged
with obstructing the Federal Government’s investigation into the fraud scheme.
If convicted on any of the most serious offenses, each of the defendants faces a
maximum of 30 years in Federal prison. In December 2012, the FDIC issued a
lifetime ban against Cutting and Melland from working in the banking industry.
Cutting was also ordered by the FDIC to pay a $10,000 civil money penalty, while
Melland was ordered to pay a civil money penalty of $2,500.
All four defendants were arrested on April 9, 2014, by SIGTARP agents
and their law enforcement partners. According to the indictment, from March
2009 through September 2012, the defendants engaged in multiple bank fraud
conspiracies that targeted SVB, the FDIC, and Freddie Mac.
Between March 2009 and November 2009, as alleged, Melland and Cutting
unscrupulously authorized more than $9 million in fraudulent loans to the other
two defendants.The two SVB executives are alleged to have skirted the bank’s
internal controls and defrauded SVB by authorizing the bank to lend $9.5 million
to a straw purchaser so that the funds could be used by Madjlessi to repurchase
part of the same condominium project for which Madjlessi had already defaulted
on a construction loan. In order to help Madjlessi regain control of residential units
in the project that had already been sold and to obtain financing from Freddie Mac,
Cutting is alleged to have produced letters, on SVB letterhead, falsely stating that
straw buyers had sufficient funds at the bank to purchase the units.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Northern District of California, the Federal Housing Financing Agency – Office
of Inspector General, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation – Office of
Inspector General.

TARP PPIF Manager Sanctioned for Defrauding Clients – Western Asset
Management Company

On January 27, 2014, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
sanctions and a cease and desist order against the California based registered
investment adviser Western Asset Management Company (“Western Asset”) for
conducting illegal cross-trades of residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”)
that favored certain clients over others and involved the Public-Private Investment
Fund (“PPIF”). In June 2009, Treasury selected Western Asset to establish a PPIF
as part of the Public-Private Investment Program of TARP.
The sanctions against Western Asset include a $1 million civil monetary penalty
payable to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) and $7.4 million
payable to Western Asset clients harmed by the illegal scheme.
A “cross-trade” occurs when an investment advisor sells an RMBS security held
by one of its clients directly to one or more of its other clients without exposing
the transaction to the market. Although cross-trades can benefit clients in certain
circumstances by saving transaction costs, they also represent a potential conflict
of interest for the advisor, who has a duty to obtain the best execution prices for
both its buying and selling clients. Further, some client accounts are specifically
prohibited or restricted from engaging in cross-trades, particularly Registered
Investment Companies and accounts regulated by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974. As a PPIF manager, Western Asset was also
prohibited from conducting cross-trades to or from the PPIF and had established
internal trading policies and procedures that explicitly prohibited cross-trades
involving the PPIF.
During the height of the financial crisis, many Western Asset clients were
forced to liquidate RMBS securities for compliance reasons. At the same time, the
PPIF managed by Western Asset had more than $2 billion of capital available for
investment in RMBS securities. Investigators discovered that from 2007 through
2010, Western Asset had engaged in a pattern of cross-trades in violation of Section
17(a)(1) and (2) of the Investment Company Act, and Section 206(2) of the
Advisors Act and PPIF guidelines.
To accomplish the cross-trades, Western Asset pre-arranged with a cooperating
broker-dealer to sell the RMBS securities to the broker at a price equal to the
highest current bid otherwise available. Western Asset then re-purchased the
security from the broker at a small pre-arranged markup over the sales price. The
inter-positioning of the broker-dealer in these transactions did not remove them
from the prohibitions of Section 17(a). By cross-trading the securities for the
highest bid price, instead of the average between the bid and the asking price, as
would be required under Section 17(a), Western Asset deprived its selling clients of
their share of the market savings, an amount totaling approximately $6.2 million.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, and the Department of Labor - Office of Inspector General.

Owner of Sham Mortgage Relief Company Sentenced to Nine Years for
Mortgage Modification Scam – American Home Recovery

On March 20, 2014, Isaak Khafizov, the former owner of American Home
Recovery (“AHR”), was sentenced to nine years in Federal prison followed by three
years of supervised release for operating a mortgage modification scheme that
defrauded hundreds of struggling homeowners and their lenders. Khavizov was also
required to pay $399,999 in both forfeiture and restitution to his victims.
Following a 10-day jury trial in U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York, Khafizov was found guilty in May 2012 of conspiracy, mail fraud
and wire fraud for perpetrating a scheme to defraud distressed homeowners
and lenders. Khafizov founded AHR, a New York-based mortgage modification
loan business, in the spring of 2008. He and AHR salespeople made fraudulent
assertions to induce distressed homeowners to pay AHR thousands of dollars in
up-front fees for mortgage modifications. Specifically, Khafizov and AHR informed
homeowners that: they had been “pre-approved” for a mortgage modification by
their lenders; AHR would ensure participation in the TARP-funded Making Home
Affordable program; and AHR could obtain better interest rates and lower monthly
fees on their mortgage. Khafizov and AHR falsely promised to return the up-front
fees if AHR did not secure a mortgage modification desired by the homeowner.
Khafizov and AHR also falsely claimed that: AHR was affiliated with Government
agencies and programs established by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
of 2008; AHR possessed unique expertise in mortgage modifications; and AHR had
special relationships with lenders. Khafizov also directed distressed homeowners to
stop paying their mortgages and to instead pay fees to AHR. After receiving up-front
fees from the distressed homeowners, Khafizov and AHR did little or no work to try
to renegotiate the homeowners’ mortgages. As a result, many AHR clients lost their
homes in foreclosure by lenders and hundreds of thousands of dollars in up-front
fees.
In addition to Khafizov, AHR was also founded by Jaime Cassuto and David
Cassuto. Each entered a guilty plea on April 2, 2012, relating to this mortgage
modification scheme and are awaiting sentencing. In March 2011, Raymond
Pampillonio, a former AHR employee, also pled guilty in connection with this
scheme and is awaiting sentencing.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Southern District of New York, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Mortgage Modification Fraudsters Sentenced to Seven Years for Defrauding
Homeowners in Nationwide $4 Million Fraud Scheme – Home Owners Protection
Economics, Inc.

On February 20, 2014, Christopher S. Godfrey and Dennis Fischer, president
and vice president, respectively, of Home Owners Protection Economics, Inc.
(“HOPE”) were each sentenced to seven years in Federal prison, followed by three
years of supervised release, for defrauding homeowners in a mortgage modification
scam perpetrated through their company, HOPE. Additionally, on February 25,
2014, Vernell Burris, Jr., manager and primary trainer of HOPE telemarketers,

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

was sentenced to one year and one day in Federal prison, followed by two years of
supervised release, after pleading guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud for his role in
the mortgage modification scam. On May 2, 2013, Brian M. Kelly, a telemarketer
and trainer of HOPE telemarketers, pled guilty to conspiracy, nine counts of wire
fraud, and nine counts of mail fraud. Kelly’s sentencing is scheduled for April, 24,
2014.
In August 2011, SIGTARP agents, along with its law enforcement partners,
arrested Godfrey, Fischer, Burris, and Kelly for their roles in the mortgage
modification fraud scheme. On November 14, 2013, after a two-week trial,
a Federal jury in Massachusetts convicted Godfrey and Fischer of all counts,
including one count of conspiracy, eight counts of wire fraud, eight counts of mail
fraud, and one count of misuse of a Government seal.
Through a series of misrepresentations, HOPE induced thousands of financially
distressed homeowners to pay up-front fees of up to $900 each in exchange
for home loan modifications, modification services, and “software licenses.” In
exchange for the fee, HOPE sent homeowners a “do-it-yourself” application
package that was nearly identical to the U.S. Government’s free application
through the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”), a Federally
funded mortgage assistance program implemented under TARP. HOPE falsely
represented to homeowners that, with HOPE’s assistance, the homeowners were
virtually guaranteed to receive a loan modification under HAMP. HOPE lulled the
distressed homeowners by telling them that HOPE had an almost perfect record of
obtaining home loan modifications. HOPE customers, however, had no advantage
in the application process and, in fact, most of their applications were denied.
Through these misrepresentations, HOPE was able to persuade thousands of
homeowners collectively to pay more than $4 million in fees to HOPE. Victims of
HOPE lived in all 50 states and Washington, DC.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
District of Massachusetts, and the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property
Section of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division.
Former Bank CEO and President Charged in Fraud Scheme – Poppi Metaxas,
Gateway Bank

On March 31, 2014, Poppi Metaxas, former Chief Executive Officer and President
of the California headquartered Gateway Bank, FSB (“Gateway”), was indicted
for conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, and perjury in the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of New York. According to court documents, Metaxas
is accused of engaging in a series of financial transactions to make it appear that
Gateway took steps to improve its poor financial condition, when, in reality, those
transactions defrauded Gateway, depleted its capital and placed the institution at
financial risk. Metaxas surrendered to authorities on April 2, 2014.
In 2008, Gateway applied for TARP funds through the Capital Purchase
Program, and, during that time, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”),
Gateway’s banking regulator, instructed Gateway to improve the bank’s
financial condition by increasing capital and reducing the number of problem/

23

24

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

non-performing assets. It was Metaxas’ responsibility to spearhead a plan to
raise capital and ensure that a significant portion of problem assets would be
sold. According to court filings, Metaxas, along with others, allegedly planned
and executed a sham round-trip transaction that caused Gateway to use its own
funds to subsidize a sale of Gateway’s nonperforming mortgage loans. Despite the
defendant’s scheme to fraudulently improve Gateway’s financial condition, Gateway
never received TARP funds.
In February and March 2009, Metaxas presented to Gateway’s board for its
approval a proposal to sell problem assets. Three entities, Cooper Capital Group
Ltd., Empower International, Inc., and The Steve Manna Group, LLC (“the
Purchasers”) had purportedly agreed to purchase Gateway’s problem assets for
approximately $15 million. The sale required the Purchasers to make a 25% down
payment of the purchase price with Gateway financing the remaining 75% of the
sale. Metaxas and her co-conspirators allegedly had devised a scheme in which
Gateway would provide the buyers with the funds necessary to satisfy the 25%
down payment. Metaxas allegedly recommended that the board approve the sale
without disclosing the relationship and the financing arrangement among the coconspirators. After the board approved the sale, Metaxas allegedly caused Gateway
to extend a sham loan to Ideal Mortgage Bankers Ltd. d/b/a Lend America (“Lend
America”), a mortgage lender and Gateway’s largest mortgage lending client, falsely
claiming that the loan was to facilitate Lend America’s need for liquidity.
On March 30, 2009, Gateway transferred $3.64 million to Lend America. The
funds were immediately transferred to Lend America’s payroll accounts, and then
wired to the Purchasers’ accounts. The Purchasers turned around and used the
funds to submit the required 25% down payment. It is alleged that Metaxas failed
to disclose the true source of the down payment to the board and lied about the
source of the down payment to the OTS when she testified during the formal exam
process. The round-trip transaction resulted in significant losses for Gateway. In
November 2009, Lend America ceased operations after receiving a court-ordered
injunction that prevented it from making loans insured by the Federal Housing
Administration. Gateway was forced to write off the entire loan to Lend America.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for
the Eastern District of New York, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the
Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General.
Former Bank Executive Officer Charged with Bank Fraud and Money Laundering
– Gary Alan Rickenbach, One Bank & Trust, N.A.

On April 2, 2014, Gary Alan Rickenbach, the former Executive Vice President
and Senior Executive Vice President of One Bank & Trust, N.A., (“Onebanc”) and
One Financial Corporation, was indicted in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Arkansas on one count each of conspiracy to commit bank fraud,
misapplication of bank monies, making false entries to deceive bank regulators,
obstructing a bank regulatory examination, and money laundering. One Financial
Corporation, the bank holding company for Onebanc, received $17.3 million in
TARP funds through the Capital Purchase Program in June 2009.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

In April 2007, Rickenbach arranged for the approval of a $1.5 million line of
credit for an associate without going through the formal process of Onebanc’s
loan committee, according to court documents. The associate never paid back
the line of credit, leaving the bank with at least a $1.5 million loss. Beginning in
2009, Rickenbach allegedly conspired with others to make fraudulent loans and
lines of credit in an attempt to hide the loss from bank regulators. Rickenbach
also allegedly misled certain members of Onebanc’s Board of Directors concerning
the transactions and diverted funds that were due to the bank. He ultimately
misapplied the funds as payment on the loans. If convicted of the most serious
offense, conspiracy to commit money laundering, Rickenbach faces up to 20 years
in Federal prison.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Reserve Board Office of Inspector
General, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of Inspector
General.
Bank Chairman Sentenced for Lying to SIGTARP Regarding Use of TARP Funds
to Purchase Luxury Vacation Property – Darryl Layne Woods, Mainstreet Bank

On March 25, 2014, Darryl Layne Woods, the former chairman, president, and
majority shareholder of Calvert Financial Corporation (“Calvert”), the bank holding
company for Mainstreet Bank (“Mainstreet”), was sentenced to eight months
detention in a halfway house followed by four months home detention for lying
about the use of TARP funds. Woods, who was also the former chairman and
chief financial officer of Mainstreet, was also ordered to pay $96,977 in restitution
to Calvert and a $10,000 fine. 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.
In January 2009, Calvert received $1,037,000 through the TARP Capital Purchase
Program.
On August 26, 2013, Woods pled guilty in U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Missouri to misleading SIGTARP investigators about his use of TARP
funds. On February 2, 2009, shortly after receiving $1,037,000 through the TARP
Capital Purchase Program, Woods used $381,487 of the TARP funds received
by Calvert to purchase a luxury seaside condominium in Fort Myers, Florida. In
February 2009, as part of its oversight function, SIGTARP sent letters to various
financial institutions seeking specific information about 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, a material misrepresentation relating to the true use
of the TARP funds.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Western District of Missouri, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Federal
Reserve Board Office of Inspector General.

Former Delaware Bank Officer Charged in Bank Fraud Scheme – Brian D. Bailey,
Wilmington Trust

On February 4, 2014, Brian D. Bailey, former head of commercial real estate
and Delaware market manager at TARP-recipient Wilmington Trust Company
(“Wilmington Trust”) was indicted by a Federal grand jury in Wilmington,
Delaware. Bailey was charged in a 14-count indictment with nine counts of
bank fraud and one count each of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, conspiracy
to commit bank bribery, corruptly receiving a gift for procuring a loan, corruptly
providing a gift with intent to influence a bank employee, and money laundering.
Wilmington Trust received $330 million in TARP funds in December 2008.
The indictment alleges that Bailey engaged in a 12-year lending relationship
with James A. Ladio, former chief lending officer at Artisans’ Bank (“Artisans’”) and
former chief executive officer of MidCoast Community Bank (“MidCoast”), that
involved bank fraud, bribery, and money laundering. According to the indictment,
Bailey and Ladio approved for each other approximately 23 loans and loan
modifications through their respective positions at Wilmington Trust, Artisans’, and
MidCoast. The indictment further alleges that the aggregate amount of all the loan
facilities was in excess of $1.5 million.
As previously reported, Ladio pled guilty on December 17, 2013, to bank fraud
and money laundering. He admitted to using his position at MidCoast to approve
business loans to MidCoast customers when in reality he hid the fact that he was
scheming to personally receive the loans for his own use. He also admitted to
borrowing money from a TARP-recipient bank to fund a number of businesses and
investment projects, and securing the loans with investment properties. In March
2009, Ladio sold one investment property without informing the bank or using the
proceeds to pay back the loans. For each count of the most serious offense, bank
fraud, Ladio faces up to 30 years in prison.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
District of Delaware, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Internal Revenue
Service Criminal Investigation.
Bank Officer Admits to Bank Fraud and Approving Loans in Exchange for

of Colorado, to bank fraud and to fraudulently approving loans for co-defendant,
Brian Headle, in return for illegal kickbacks. As part of his plea agreement,
Tumbaga also agreed to a ban from future involvement in banking activities.
Sentencing is set for September 30, 2014. For each count of the most serious
offense, bank fraud, Tumbaga faces a maximum of 30 years in Federal prison.
In February 2009, ColoEast Bankshares, Inc., the parent company of CEBT,
received $10 million through the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The bank was
later unable to pay more than $1 million in dividends it owed to taxpayers. In July
2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sold its stake in the company at auction

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

for approximately $9 million. In total, approximately $2 million owed to Federal
taxpayers was lost on the investment.
Tumbaga admitted that, from March 2009 through July 2011, he used his
position as loan officer at CEBT to fraudulently approve more than $1 million in
loans for the benefit of Headle. As part of the fraud scheme, Tumbaga admitted
that he had Headle submit materially false loan applications, which Tumbaga
approved without review. Tumbaga further admitted that he circumvented CEBT’s
limits on loans to one person by fraudulently representing that the loans were
for Headle’s company, Headle’s wife, or her company. When necessary, Tumbaga
stated that he would forge the bank president’s signature to obtain approval for the
fraudulent loans. He also admitted to withdrawing $100,000 from another bank
client’s account and giving the money to Headle. To cover that theft, Tumbaga
obtained another fraudulent loan under Headle’s name. When additional loans
were necessary to make payments on the fraudulent earlier loans, Tumbaga
admitted to obtaining fraudulent loans in the names of Headle’s parents and
step-parents. As part of his plea agreement, Tumbaga admitted to accepting over
$60,000 in kickbacks from Headle.
Tumbaga and Headle were charged jointly on September 25, 2013. Headle
was charged with seven counts of bank fraud and eleven counts of bribing a bank
official. Headle is scheduled to stand trial on September 15, 2014.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
District of Colorado, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of
Inspector General, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Borrower Sentenced to More Than Six Years for Defrauding Multiple TARP Banks
Including Failed TARP Bank GulfSouth – Lawrence Allen Wright

On January 14, 2014, Lawrence Allen Wright was sentenced to six years and three
months in Federal prison to be followed by five years of supervised release. Wright
was ordered to pay more than $3.7 million in restitution for carrying out a series of
fraud schemes against several banks, including TARP-recipients GulfSouth Private
Bank (“GulfSouth”), Regions Bank, and Bank of America. Wright pled guilty in
Federal court in Pensacola, Florida, on October 29, 2013, to charges that included
conspiracy to commit fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, bank fraud,
mail fraud, aggravated identity theft, and making a false statement to a Federally
insured bank.
From November 2006 through January 2010, Wright engaged in a scheme
where an individual’s identity was used without that individual’s knowledge or
permission on mortgage and tax documents to obtain bank loans. After obtaining
the loans, Wright stopped making payments, which resulted in foreclosure on the
mortgaged properties and a civil action against the person whose identity was used
by Wright. Wright engaged in this conduct to obtain loans on several properties,
which resulted in losses to several banks. During this time, Wright also recruited
individuals to purchase unimproved lots by promising that his company, Wright &
Associates, would make the monthly loan payments. The purchasers’ incomes were

27

28

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

inflated on the loan applications, and ultimately, no payments were made on the
loans, and the properties went into foreclosure.
On October 19, 2012, GulfSouth failed, and the FDIC was named as receiver.
At the time, $7.5 million in TARP funds had not been repaid. In addition, the
FDIC estimates the cost to its Deposit Insurance Fund from the bank failure to be
in excess of $36.1 million.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Northern District of Florida, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation,
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of the Inspector General, and
the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office as part of the Northwest Florida Financial
Crimes Task Force.
Former Bank Manager Pleads Guilty in Narcotics Kickback Scheme Against
Failed TARP Bank – Phillip Alan Owen, Superior Bank

On February 4, 2014, Phillip Alan Owen, a former branch manager of Superior
Financial Services, LLC, a subsidiary of Superior Bank, entered a guilty plea
in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama to conspiring with
others to carry out a loan scheme against Superior Bank. Superior Bancorp, Inc.,
the holding company for Superior Bank, received $69 million in TARP funds on
December 5, 2008. On April 15, 2011, Superior Bank failed and the FDIC was
named receiver. At that time, the $69 million in TARP funds remained unpaid.
According to court documents, from September 26, 2007 through May 9, 2009,
Owen used his position as bank manager to submit, certify, and approve falsified
loan documents in exchange for narcotics. Owen also overvalued collateral in order
to obtain approval for inflated loan amounts, unlawfully disbursed loan proceeds,
and prematurely released collateral that had been used to secure loans. Owen’s
role in the scheme caused the bank a loss of more than $200,000. Sentencing is
scheduled for June 25, 2014. At sentencing, Owen faces up to 30 years in Federal
prison.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Northern District of Alabama, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Missouri Businessmen Charged with Defrauding TARP Recipient Excel Bank –
William Glasgow, James Crews, Michael Hilbert

On January 10, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri
unsealed two separate indictments against three Missouri businessmen charging
them with bank fraud against TARP-recipient Excel Bank. William Glasgow was
charged on December 11, 2013, with two counts of bank fraud. In a separate
indictment, James Crews and Michael Hilbert were each indicted on two counts of
bank fraud. All three defendants surrendered to authorities on January 10, 2014. If
convicted, each defendant faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in Federal prison
on each count. Trial dates have yet to be set.
According to court documents, Glasgow was in the real estate business in
Missouri, having owned a number of rental properties. Glasgow allegedly obtained
two loans through Excel Bank by submitting falsified loan documents and financial

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

statements. Court documents state that Crews and Hilbert operated their real
estate rental business in Missouri through various entities. Crews and Hilbert
allegedly made several large fraudulent construction draw requests from Excel
Bank using escrow funds set aside for the improvement of their rental properties.
Investors Financial Corporation, the parent company of Excel Bank, received
$4 million in TARP funds in May 2009. Excel Bank failed on October 19, 2012,
and the FDIC was named receiver. The $4 million TARP investment was never
repaid. The loss to the FDIC was $40.9 million.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Eastern District of Missouri, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Former TARP Bank Official Charged for Role in Fraud Scheme – David Weimert

On February 19, 2014, David Weimert was charged in the U.S. District Court
for the Western District of Wisconsin with six counts of wire fraud for allegedly
participating in a scheme to obtain money through fraudulent pretenses. Weimert
was the Senior Vice President in Lending Administration at Anchor BanCorp
Wisconsin, Inc. (“Anchor”) and the President of Investment Directions, Inc.
(“IDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anchor. If convicted, Weimert faces a
maximum of 30 years in Federal prison on each count. A trial date has yet to be set.
As alleged, from December 2008 through March 31, 2009, while serving in
his positions at Anchor and IDI, Weimert misrepresented and omitted material
information in order to obtain an ownership interest in a real estate partnership
called Chandler Creek and to obtain a 4% commission fee in connection with the
sale of Chandler Creek. Chandler Creek was a joint venture partnership formed
with the Burke Real Estate Group (“The Burke Group”) to develop an industrial
park in Round Rock, Texas. IDI and The Burke Group each owned a 50% interest
in Chandler Creek. To further his fraud scheme, Weimert allegedly falsely
represented in writing to the IDI Board of Directors that The Burke Group would
buy IDI’s share of Chandler Creek contingent on Weimert purchasing a minority
interest in Chandler Creek as part of the deal. Weimert failed to disclose that, in
actuality, it was only Weimert who desired the minority interest for himself. As a
result of his material misrepresentations, the IDI Board of Directors accepted The
Burke Group’s offer to purchase Chandler Creek. As part of the purchase deal,
Weimert was allegedly granted 4.785% ownership interest in Chandler Creek and
was paid a 4% commission, totaling $311,000.
In January 2009, Anchor received $110 million in TARP funds. The U.S.
Department of the 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 Anchor’s “pre-packaged” Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Western District of Wisconsin, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Conspirators in Real Estate Straw Purchase Fraud Scheme Sentenced – Winston
and Marleen Shillingford, Robert Ilunga

On January 28, 2014, in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut,
Winston and Marleen Shillingford, husband and wife, were both sentenced for
their roles in a mortgage fraud scheme that defrauded mortgage lenders, including
TARP recipient banks. Winston Shillingford was sentenced to four years in Federal
prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Marleen Shillingford was
sentenced to three years in Federal prison, also to be followed with three years of
supervised release. On January 31, 2014, their co-conspirator, Robert Ilunga, was
sentenced to Federal prison for one year and six months, followed by three years of
supervised release.
All three defendants had previously pled guilty to conspiracy to commit wire
fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering related to their involvement in
the mortgage fraud scheme.
From approximately April 2004 through August 2011, the defendants conspired
with others in a mortgage fraud and money laundering scheme to obtain false
mortgages. Utilizing a real estate company called Waikele Properties Corporation,
they and their co-conspirators purchased more than 40 multi-family and vacant
properties in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on which they built new houses. The
scheme involved recruiting straw purchasers for the properties who then applied
for mortgages from banks, including Bank of America and other TARP banks.
The defendants and their co-conspirators filed loan applications on behalf of the
purchasers that materially misrepresented their employment, income, assets, and
liabilities, and provided the banks with false documentation. As a result of the
scheme, the defrauded financial institutions suffered more than $7 million in
losses.
This case was investigated by SIGTARP, the United States Attorney’s Office
for the District of Connecticut, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Housing and Urban
Development Office of Inspector General.
Former Bank Executive Admits to Taking Kickbacks – Oxford Collection Agency

On January 10, 2014, in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut,
Michael Gesimondo pled guilty to taking kickbacks while he was a collections
manager at Washington Mutual Bank (“Washington Mutual”). On September
25, 2008, Washington Mutual was closed by Federal regulators, and its banking
operations were sold to JPMorgan Chase & Co. in a transaction facilitated by
regulators. On October 28, 2008, JPMorgan Chase & Co. received $25 billion
in TARP. The TARP funds were repaid in full on June 17, 2009. According to
court documents Gesimondo was in charge of outsourcing collection accounts to
collection agencies. Washington Mutual had a contract with Oxford Collection
Agency (“Oxford”) to collect debts owed by its consumers. Gesimondo admitted
that, from May 2008 through May 2009, he received kickbacks as reward for
providing Oxford with Washington Mutual’s debt collection business.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

From January 2007 through March 2011, Oxford had agreements with business
clients to collect debts, 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
what was collected by Oxford as a fee. During that time period, Oxford engaged in
a large fraud scheme in which it defrauded its lender, investors, and clients, while
also bribing bank officials. As previously reported, the investigation and prosecution
of the multi-year fraud scheme at Oxford has resulted in several pleas of guilty
by former Oxford officers: Richard Pinto, Chairman of the Board, Peter Pinto,
CEO and President, Patrick Pinto, executive and co-owner, Randall Silver, chief
financial officer, Charles Harris, executive vice president, and Carlos Novelli, chief
operations officer. Wilbur Tate III, the former assistant vice president in charge of
debt collection at TARP recipient U.S. Bank in Ohio also pled guilty to accepting
bribes from executives of Oxford in exchange for U.S. Bank’s business.
The case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
District of Connecticut, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Connecticut Securities, Commodities and
Investor Fraud Task Force.
Perpetrators of Various Investor Fraud Schemes Plead Guilty – Marvin Solis,
Michael P. Ramdat

On January 29, 2014, Marvin Solis pled guilty in U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California to two counts of wire fraud relating to a fraudulent
investor scheme in which illegal profits were funneled through banks that received
TARP funding. Solis was indicted on September 5, 2013, and arrested on September 11, 2013, by SIGTARP agents and our law enforcement partners. Solis
is scheduled to be sentenced on May 14, 2014. For each count of wire fraud, he
faces a maximum of 20 years in Federal prison.
Solis admitted that, from September 2008 through March 2009, he told
investor clients he would help locate investment properties for them to purchase.
Instead of fulfilling his promises, Solis used their money to, among other things,
pay his own expenses and trade in the futures market.
On February 26, 2014, Michael P. Ramdat pled guilty in U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of California to conspiracy and multiple counts of wire
fraud relating to a fraudulent investor scheme utilizing a TARP bank. As previously
reported, Ramdat and his co-conspirator, Leigh F. Fiske, were indicted by a Federal
grand jury on November 21, 2013. Fiske and Ramdat were arrested by SIGTARP
agents and their law enforcement partners on September 16, 2013, and December
2, 2013, respectively. Ramdat is scheduled to be sentenced on June 4, 2014. For
each count of wire fraud, he faces a maximum of 20 years in Federal prison.
Ramdat admitted that from July 2008 through June 2009, he and Fiske told
investors they would help obtain lines of credit for their businesses. Ramdat
admitted that he and Fiske lied to investors by never providing any assistance to
these individuals and instead transferring the money into their own personal bank
accounts. Ramdat further admitted that they defrauded victims out of more than
$400,000 and used the profits for their own personal expenses.

Man Charged in TARP-related Scheme to Sell Properties from HomePath
Program – Greenfield Advisors, LLC

On January 22, 2014, Mark Steven Thompson was charged in the U.S. District
Court for the Western District of Texas with aiding and abetting wire fraud for his
alleged participation in a fraud scheme to sell TARP-related properties. Thompson
was arrested on January 24, 2014.
According to court documents, from November 2013 through January 2014,
the defendant allegedly contacted real estate investment firms and misrepresented
that his affiliated companies, Greenfield Advisors, LLC, and Escrow Professionals,
Inc., were authorized to sell U.S. Government held properties under the TARP
program HomePath. Court documents allege that the defendant entered into
contracts with individuals to purchase properties from the HomePath program
when, in fact, he had no authority to enter into such contracts. The defendant
would then direct the victims to use Escrow Professionals, Inc., as the escrow
company for the sale. As alleged, the money, intended as earnest money and
property payments, was instead funneled into bank accounts controlled by the
defendant and used for his personal expenses. The defendant is accused of
defrauding victims out of more than $600,000. If convicted, Thompson faces
up to 20 years in Federal prison.
This case is being investigated by SIGTARP, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Western District of Texas, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Sentences Resulting from TARP-Related Crimes
Of the 129 defendants convicted as a result of a SIGTARP investigation, 80
defendants have already been sentenced to prison for TARP-related crimes, 17
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
66 months, which is nearly double the national average length of prison sentences
involving white-collar fraud of 35 months.iii Fourteen 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
Mortgage Corporation LLC, who is serving a 30-year prison sentence, and
Edward Woodard, former chairman of the Bank of the Commonwealth, who
is serving a 23-year prison sentence. Many of the criminal schemes uncovered
by SIGTARP had been ongoing for years, and involved 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 74 months in prison. Criminals
convicted for mortgage modification fraud schemes or other mortgage fraud related
iii See the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s 2012 Sourcebook of Federal Sentencing Statistics for additional information.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

investigations by SIGTARP were sentenced to serve an average of 44 months in
prison. Criminals investigated by SIGTARP and convicted of investment schemes
such as Ponzi schemes and sales of fake TARP-backed securities were sentenced to
serve an average of 108 months in prison. Figure 1.3 shows the people sentenced
to prison, the sentences they received, and their affiliations.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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
against 188 defendants (129 of whom have been convicted as of April 2, 2014,
while others await trial).iv These defendants were charged in courts in 23 states and
Washington, DC. SIGTARP investigations have identified victims of TARP-related
crimes in all 50 states and Washington, DC. Victims of TARP-related crimes
include taxpayers, the Federal Government, including Treasury and FDIC, TARPrecipient banks, and homeowners targeted by mortgage modification scams. Figure
1.4 shows locations of U.S. Attorney’s Offices and state prosecutorial offices where
criminal charges were filed as a result of SIGTARP investigations.v

iv Criminal charges are not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
v The prosecutors partnered with SIGTARP ultimately decide the venue in which to bring criminal charges resulting from SIGTARP’s
investigations.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Restitution and Forfeiture from TARP-Related Crimes
As of April 2, 2014, investigations conducted by SIGTARP have resulted in
more than $4.77 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.
Two cases in particular that SIGTARP investigated have resulted in not
only lengthy prison sentences for a number of individuals in each case but also
significant orders of forfeiture and restitution. In the Colonial Bank/Taylor, Bean
and Whitaker Mortgage Corporation (“TBW”) case, former TBW chairman Lee
Bentley Farkas spearheaded a $2.9 billion fraud scheme that contributed to the
failure of Colonial Bank, the sixth largest bank failure in U.S. history. The case
resulted in not only prison time for eight people, including Farkas, but also courtordered restitution of $3.5 billion and forfeiture of $38.5 million. In the Bank of
the Commonwealth (“BOC”) case, where former chairman Edward J. Woodard led
a $41 million bank fraud scheme that masked non-performing assets at BOC and
contributed to the failure of BOC in 2011, the court entered a restitution order of
$333 million and a forfeiture order of $65 million against nine defendants, each
responsible for at least a portion.
Overall in SIGTARP cases, orders of restitution and forfeiture to victims and
the Government of numerous assets as well as seized assets pending final order
include dozens of vehicles, more than 30 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, 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 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.
As part of the Bank of the Commonwealth case, Thomas Arney, who pled guilty
for his role in the bank fraud scheme, agreed to forfeit the proceeds from the sale
of two antique cars to the Government: a 1948 Pontiac Silver Streak and a 1957
Cadillac Coup de Ville. Figure 1.5 includes pictures of the forfeited cars, as well as
other examples of assets seized by the Government in SIGTARP investigations.

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 April 2, 2014, SIGTARP investigations have resulted in
orders temporarily suspending or permanently banning 94 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 94 individuals, 46 were heads or owners of companies, including
those who were chairmen, chief executive officers, and presidents of financial
institutions. Most of the remaining 48 individuals were chief financial officers,
senior vice presidents, chief operating officers, chief credit officers, licensed
attorneys, and other senior executives.
This quarter SIGTARP investigations resulted in three significant industry
prohibitions that are part of a settlement agreement or a condition of a guilty plea.
Former Bank of America CEO, Kenneth Lewis, agreed to a 3-year ban from serving
as an officer or director of a public company in order to settle a lawsuit with the
New York Attorney General concerning misrepresentations to shareholders and the
Federal Government. Darryl Layne Woods, the former chairman, president, and
majority shareholder of Calvert Financial Corporation agreed to a ban from any
future involvement in any banking activities as part of his guilty plea for misleading
SIGTARP investigators about his use of TARP funds. Christopher Tumbaga, a
former loan officer at Colorado East Bank and Trust, pled guilty in U.S. District
Court for the District of Colorado to bank fraud and receiving kickbacks and also
agreed to a ban from any future involvement in any bank activities.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Joseph Terranova, a former senior official at Delaware-based Wilmington Trust
Company, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud for his role in a fraud
scheme that concealed the true financial condition of the TARP recipient. As part
of his plea agreement, Terranova also agreed to a ban from any future involvement
in the industry. Edward Woodard, former president, chief executive officer, and
chairman of the board at the Bank of the Commonwealth, was not only sentenced
to 23 years in Federal prison for his role in a $41 million bank fraud scheme,
but also, once he is released from prison and begins to serve a five year term of
supervised release, he is prohibited from engaging in any aspect of the banking
business, or any similar occupation. In the $2.9 billion fraud that led to the failures
of Taylor, Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Corporation (“TBW”) and Colonial Bank,
the chief executive officer and chairman of TBW, Lee Bentley Farkas, was not only
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 from Federal prison.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) issued lifetime bans
against former president, CEO, and chairman Mark Conner of failed TARP
applicant FirstCity Bank, Stockton, Georgia, and former president and CEO
Reginald Harper of failed TARP applicant First Community Bank, Hammond,
Louisiana, for engaging in unsafe and unsound banking practices and breaching
their fiduciary duty. FDIC bans prohibit these former CEOs from participating in
the conduct of the affairs of their previously affiliated banks and any bank in the
future. The bans were issued in addition to their 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. NewPoint
Financial Services, Inc. (“NewPoint”) 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 FDIC
while on supervised release. Farahi 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
seven 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.
Eleven attorneys who have been investigated by SIGTARP and its law
enforcement partners have been sanctioned by their professional licensing groups.
Robert Maloney, in-house counsel for FirstCity 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 NewPoint Financial Services, Inc., who
was sentenced to 84 months in Federal prison for his role in obstructing the
Government’s investigation, 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, LLC 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 was 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
March 31, 2014, 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.

SIGTARP Hotline
As a criminal law enforcement agency, SIGTARP created its Hotline as a crime tip
hotline for the American public to report and offer leads on criminal investigations
and suspected violations of criminal and civil laws in connection with TARP. As

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

of March 31, 2014, the SIGTARP Hotline has received and analyzed 33,622
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-SIG2009 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. Additionally, on January 31, 2013, SIGTARP’s Deputy Chief of
Staff, Chuck Jones, and Senior Policy Advisor, Brian Sano, provided a briefing open
to all House and Senate staff on SIGTARP’s January 29, 2014, Quarterly Report
and SIGTARP’s special report entitled “Taxpayer Complaints to Hotline Help
SIGTARP Fight Fraud and Highlight Continuing Problems with TARP Housing
Programs.”
Copies of written Congressional testimony are posted at www.sigtarp.gov/pages/
testimony.aspx.

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 March 31, 2014, SIGTARP
had 165 employees, plus one detailee from the Federal Housing Finance Agency
Office of Inspector General. The SIGTARP organization chart as of April 11, 2014,
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 March 31, 2014, SIGTARP’s website has had more
than 61.1million 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

SIGTARP’s quarterly reports.vii

Budget
Figure 1.6 provides a detailed breakdown of SIGTARP’s fiscal year 2014 budget,
which reflects a total operating budget of $42.4 million. The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113-76) provided $34.9 million in annual
appropriations. The operating budget includes $34.9 million in annual
appropriation and portions of SIGTARP’s initial funding that have not yet been
spent.
Figure 1.7 provides a detailed breakdown of SIGTARP’s fiscal year 2015
proposed budget, which reflects a total operating plan of $46.1 million. This

 October 2009, Treasury started to encounter challenges with its web analytics tracking system and as a result, migrated to a new

system in January 2010. SIGTARP has calculated the total number of website “hits” reported herein based on three sets of numbers:
• Numbers reported to SIGTARP as of September 30, 2009
• Archived numbers provided by Treasury for the period of October through December 2009
• Numbers generated from Treasury’s new system for the period of January 2010 through September 2012

Starting April 1, 2012, another tracking system has been introduced that tracks a different metric, “page views,” which are different
than “hits” from the previous system. Moving forward, page views will be the primary metric to gauge use of the website.

TARP OVERVIEW

48

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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.6
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 $456.5 billion as of March 31,
2014.7 Of that amount, $423.4 billion had been spent.8 Taxpayers are owed $41.2
billion as of March 31, 2014. According to Treasury, as of March 31, 2014, it had
$33.2 billion in write-offs, realized losses, or amounts currently not collectible
because of pending bankruptcies or receiverships, leaving $8.1 billion in TARP
funds outstanding.9 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.10 These amounts do not include $11.7 billion in TARP
funds spent on housing support programs, which are designed as a Government
subsidy, with no repayments to taxpayers expected.11 In the quarter ended March
31, 2014, 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
March 31, 2014, $1.2 billion of TARP funds were spent on housing programs,
leaving $26.8 billion obligated and available to be spent.12
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 March 31, 2014. Table
2.1 lists 10 TARP sub-programs, instead of all 13, because it excludes the Capital

Amount taxpayers still owed includes amounts disbursed and still outstanding, plus $33.2 billion in write-offs, realized losses, and investments currently not collectible because of pending bankruptcies or
receiverships. It does not include $11.7 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 $368.3 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
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.
h
Treasury deobligated $2.1 billion of a Chrysler credit facility that was never drawn down.
i
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.
j
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.
k
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 March 31,
2014, except for Invesco.
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.

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.

TARP PROGRAMS UPDATE

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.

As of March 31, 2014, 177 institutions remain in TARP: 71 banks with remaining
CPP principal investments; 36 CPP banks for which Treasury now holds only
warrants to purchase stock; 69 banks and credit unions in CDCI; and Ally
Financial.13 Treasury does not consider the 36 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.14 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.
According to Treasury, as of March 31, 2014, 268 TARP recipients (including
255 banks and credit unions, three auto companies, nine PPIP managers, and AIG)
had paid back all of their principal or repurchased shares, although GM, Chrysler,
and AIG did so at a loss to Treasury. Another 137 CPP banks refinanced into
the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”). In addition, eight TARP recipients
(including seven banks and credit unions, and Ally Financial) had partially repaid
their principal or repurchased their shares but remained in TARP.15 According to
Treasury, as of March 31, 2014, 214 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 (25), or at a loss at auction (159), and institutions
that are in various stages of bankruptcy or receivership (30).16 Thirteen banks have
been sold at a profit at auction.17 Four CPP banks merged with other CPP banks.18
Figure 2.1 provides a snapshot of the cumulative expenditures, repayments,
and amount owed as of March 31, 2014. Taxpayers also are entitled to dividend
payments, interest, and warrants for taking on the risk of TARP investments.
According to Treasury, as of March 31, 2014, Treasury had collected $47.9 billion
in interest, dividends, and other income, including $9.5 billion in proceeds from
the sale of warrants and stock received as a result of exercised warrants.19
Some TARP programs are scheduled to last as late as 2021. Other TARP
programs have no scheduled ending date; TARP money will remain invested
until recipients pay Treasury back or until Treasury sells its investments in the
companies. Table 2.3 provides details of exit dates and remaining Treasury
investments.

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.20
On March 4, 2014, OMB issued the Administration’s fiscal year 2015 budget,
which included a TARP lifetime cost estimate of $39 billion, based largely on
figures from November 30, 2013.21 This was a decrease from its estimate of $47.5
billion based on December 31, 2012, data.22 According to OMB, this decrease
came largely from a smaller projected loss on the auto program, as well as from a
technical adjustment to interest income that affects the overall Federal deficit, but
has no direct affect on TARP program costs.23 The estimate also assumes principal
repayments and revenue from dividends, warrants, interest, and fees for PPIP of
$2.4 billion and for CPP of $8.3 billion.
On April 17, 2014, CBO issued a TARP cost estimate based on its evaluation
of data as of March 12, 2014. CBO estimated the ultimate cost of TARP would be
$27 billion, up $6 billion from its estimate of $21 billion in May 2013.24 According
to CBO, the increase is due primarily to an increase in projected mortgage program
spending, offset by a decrease in the estimated costs associated with the automotive
program. CBO estimates that TARP’s largest loss will come from the mortgage
programs. CBO estimated that only $26 billion of obligated funds for housing will
be spent.
On December 11, 2013, Treasury issued its September 30, 2013, fiscal year
audited agency financial statements for TARP, which contained a cost estimate
of $40.3 billion.25 This estimate is a decrease from Treasury’s estimate of a $59.7

Repayments include $196 billion for CPP, $40 billion

UCSB. The $196 billion for CPP repayments includes
$363.3 million in non-cash conversion from CPP to
CDCI, which is not included in the $368.3 billion in TARP
repayments because it is still owed to TARP from CDCI.
Additionally, $2.2 billion was refinanced into SBLF.

billion loss as of September 30, 2012. According to Treasury, “These costs for the
non-housing programs fluctuate in large part due to changes in the market prices
of common stock for AIG and GM and the estimated value of the Ally stock.”26
According to Treasury, the largest costs from TARP are expected to come from
housing programs and from assistance to AIG and the automotive industry.27 This
estimate assumes that all of the funds obligated for housing support programs will
be spent.
The most recent TARP program cost estimates from each agency are listed in

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

TARP PROGRAMS

TARP programs fall into four categories: housing support programs, financial
institution support programs, automotive industry support programs, and asset
support programs.

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.28 As of March 31, 2014, $11.7 billion (30% of obligated
funds) has been expended.29 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.”30 MHA, for which Treasury has obligated $29.8
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; the Second Lien Modification Program
(“2MP”); and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) HAMP (“VA
HAMP”), which TARP does not fund.31 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”).32
Additionally, the overall MHA obligation of $29.8 billion includes $2.7 billion to
support the Treasury/FHA Second-Lien Program (“FHA2LP”), which expired as
of December 31, 2013. FHA2LP was to complement the FHA Short Refinance
program (discussed later) and was intended to support the extinguishment
of second-lien loans, but no second liens had been partially written down or
extinguished under the program before it expired.33
As of March 31, 2014, MHA had expended $7.8 billion of TARP money
(26% of $29.8 billion).34 Of that amount, $6.4 billion was expended on
HAMP, which includes $1.2 billion expended on homeowners’ HAMP
permanent modifications that later redefaulted.35 In addition, $773.4 million

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

was expended on HAFA and $555.3 million on 2MP.36 As of March 31, 2014,
there were 469,290 active Tier 1 and 44,856 active Tier 2 permanent first-lien
modifications under the TARP-funded portion of HAMP, an increase of 6,383
Tier 1 and 12,474 Tier 2 active permanent modifications over the past quarter.37
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.”38 Treasury obligated $7.6 billion for this program.39 As of
March 31, 2014, $3.8 billion had been drawn down by the states from HHF.40
However, as of December 31, 2013, the latest data available, only $2.3 billion
had been spent assisting 161,783 homeowners, with the remaining $385.1
million funds used for administrative expenses and $509.8 million as unspent
cash-on-hand.41 For more information, see the “Housing Support Programs”
discussion in this section.42
• 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.43 As of March 31, 2014, there have been 4,238 refinancings under the
FHA Short Refinance program, an increase of 425 refinancings during the
past quarter.44 For more information, see the “Housing Support Programs”
discussion in this section.

Financial Institution Support Programs
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.45
• Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) — Under CPP, Treasury directly
purchased preferred stock or subordinated debentures in qualifying financial
institutions.46 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].”47
Treasury invested $204.9 billion in 707 institutions through CPP, which closed
to new funding on December 29, 2009.48 As of March 31, 2014, 107 of those
institutions remained in TARP; in 36 of them, Treasury holds only warrants to
purchase stock. Treasury does not consider these 36 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 March 31, 2014, 71 of the
107 institutions had outstanding CPP principal investments.49 Of the 707 banks
that received CPP investments, 636 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.50 Only 241 of the banks, or 34% of the original

Systemically Significant Institutions:

institution whose failure would impose

counterparties, call into question the
financial strength of similar institutions,

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.

707, fully repaid CPP otherwise.51 Of the other banks that have exited CPP,
four CPP banks merged with other CPP banks, Treasury sold its investments in
25 banks for less than par and its investments in 172 banks at auction (159 of
those investments sold at a loss), and 29 institutions or their subsidiary banks
failed, meaning Treasury lost its entire investment in those banks.52 As of March
31, 2014, taxpayers were still owed $6.7 billion related to CPP. According
to Treasury, it had write-offs, realized losses, and investments not currently
collectible as a result of bankruptcy of $4.7 billion in the program, leaving $2
billion in TARP funds outstanding.53 Included as not currently collectible as
a result of bankruptcy are investments in 26 CPP banks, or their subsidiary
banks, with total CPP investments of $790.5 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.54 According to Treasury,
$196 billion of the CPP principal (or 96%) had been repaid as of March 31,
2014. 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.55
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 March 31, 2014, Treasury has held 25 sets
of auctions to sell all of its preferred stock investments in 172 banks, selling
all but 13 investments at a discounted price resulting in a loss to Treasury.56
Treasury lost a total of $991 million in the auctions, including $772.2 million
from discounts on principal investments in the institutions and $218.8 million
in forfeited unpaid dividends and interest owed by the institutions. 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.”57 Under CDCI, TARP made capital investments
in the preferred stock or subordinated debt of eligible banks, bank holding
companies, thrifts, and credit unions.58 Eighty-four institutions received $570.1
million in funding under CDCI.59 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.60 Only $106 million of CDCI money went to institutions
that were not already TARP recipients. As of March 31, 2014, 69 institutions
remained in CDCI.61 As of March 31, 2014, two remaining CDCI institutions
had unpaid dividend or interest payments.62 For more information, see the
“Community Development Capital Initiative” discussion in this report.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

• Systemically Significant Failing Institutions (“SSFI”) Program — SSFI
enabled Treasury to invest in systemically significant institutions to prevent
them from failing.63 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.64 That included $67.8 billion in TARP funds. Treasury’s investment
in AIG ended on March 1, 2013.
As reflected on Treasury’s books and records, taxpayers recouped $54.4
billion of the $67.8 billion in TARP funds and realized losses from an
accounting standpoint of $13.5 billion on Treasury’s sale of AIG stock.65 Due to
a January 2011 restructuring of the FRBNY and Treasury investments, Treasury
held common stock from both the TARP and FRBNY assistance, and, according
to Treasury, the Government overall has made a $4.1 billion gain on the stock
sales, and $959 million has been paid in dividends, interest, and other income.66
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.67
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.68 There were two
expenditures under this program, totaling $40 billion — the purchases of $20
billion each of senior preferred stock in Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) and Bank
of America Corp. (“Bank of America”).69 Treasury also accepted common stock
warrants from each, as required by EESA. Both banks fully repaid Treasury
for its TIP investments.70 Treasury auctioned its Bank of America warrants on
March 3, 2010, and auctioned its Citigroup warrants on January 25, 2011.71 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.72 Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”), and the Federal Reserve offered certain loss protections in connection
with $301 billion in troubled Citigroup assets.73 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.74 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

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.

59

60

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

$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.75 Treasury converted the TRUPS it received from FDIC into
Citigroup subordinated notes and subsequently sold them for $894 million.76
For more information, see the “Targeted Investment Program and Asset
Guarantee Program” discussion in this section.

Automotive Industry Support Programs
TARP’s automotive industry support through the Automotive Industry Financing
Program (“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.”77 As of March 31,
2014, Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally Financial”), formerly GMAC Inc., remains the only
auto-related company whose stock is owned by Treasury. As of March 31, 2014,
taxpayers were owed $6.5 billion, however, following the IPO on April 10, 2014,
taxpayers are now owed $4.1 billion for TARP’s investment in Ally Financial. In
return for its investment, as of April 10, 2014, Treasury held approximately 17%
of Ally Financial’s common stock, following its sale of 95 million shares as part of
Ally’s IPO. Prior to the IPO, on January 23, 2014, Treasury sold 410,000 shares of
Ally Financial common stock for approximately $3 billion in a private placement,
after which it owned 37% of the company’s stock.78 Treasury sold its last shares in
General Motors Company (“GM”) on December 9, 2013. Separately, on March 20,
2014, Treasury wrote off an $826 million administrative claim in the company’s
2009 bankruptcy, ending all taxpayer involvement with GM.79
As of March 31, 2014, taxpayers have lost $11.2 billion on the principal
TARP investment in GM. Taxpayers had also lost $845 million on the sale of Ally
Financial’s common stock, as well as $2.9 billion on the principal TARP investment
in Chrysler Holding LLC (“Chrysler”). Chrysler Financial Services Americas LLC
(“Chrysler Financial”) fully repaid its TARP investment.80
Through AIFP, Treasury made emergency loans to Chrysler, Chrysler Financial,
and GM. Additionally, Treasury bought senior preferred stock from Ally Financial
and assisted Chrysler and GM during their bankruptcy restructurings. As of March
31, 2014, $79.7 billion had been disbursed through AIFP and its subprograms,
and Treasury had received $59.1 billion in principal repayments, preferred stock
redemption proceeds, and stock sale proceeds. As of March 31, 2014, Treasury had
received approximately $38.9 billion related to its GM investment, $10.7 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.81 As of
March 31, 2014, Treasury had also received approximately $5.6 billion in dividends
and interest under AIFP and its two subprograms, ASSP and AWCP.82
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.83 Through a series of stock
sales, Treasury has divested its preferred stock and all of its common stock as of
December 9, 2013. Because the common stock sales all took place below Treasury’s

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

break-even price, Treasury has booked a loss of $10.3 billion on the sales as of
March 31, 2014.84
Treasury invested a total of $17.2 billion in Ally Financial, and $6.5 billion
of that remained outstanding as of March 31, 2014. 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 (“MCP”).85 Treasury sold the $2.7 billion in TRUPS
on March 2, 2011, resulting in a $2.5 billion principal repayment to Treasury.86
On November 20, 2013, Ally paid Treasury $5.2 billion to repurchase the $5.9
billion par value of MCP, plus a payment of $725 million to terminate the share
adjustment right (reducing Treasury’s ownership stake from 74% to 63%).87 The
November 20, 2013 repurchase represented a $5.6 billion repayment of principal,
bringing total Ally principal repayments to $8.2 billion.88 Treasury’s sale of 410,000
shares of Ally common stock on January 23, 2014, for approximately $3 billion,
brings the repayment to $10.7 billion.89 In addition, Treasury’s share sales in the
April 10, 2014, IPO are reported at $2.4 billion.90
Treasury provided approximately $12.5 billion in loan commitments to Chrysler,
of which $2.1 billion was never drawn down.91 On July 21, 2011, Treasury sold to
Fiat for $500 million Treasury’s remaining equity ownership interest in Chrysler.92
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. Treasury’s
books reflect a $2.9 billion loss to taxpayers on their principal investment in
Chrysler.93 In addition, Treasury provided a $1.5 billion loan to Chrysler Financial,
which was fully repaid with interest in July 2009.94
For more information, see the “Automotive Industry Support Programs”
discussion in this section.
AIFP also included two subprograms:
• Auto Supplier Support Program (“ASSP”) — On March 19, 2009, Treasury
committed $5 billion to ASSP to “help stabilize the automotive supply base and
restore credit flows” with loans to GM ($290 million) and Chrysler ($123.1
million) that were fully repaid in April 2010.95
• Auto Warranty Commitment Program (“AWCP”) — This program
guaranteed Chrysler and GM vehicle warranties during the companies’
bankruptcy with Treasury obligating $640.8 million —$360.6 million for GM
and $280.1 million for Chrysler — both fully repaid to Treasury.96

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.

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.

61

62

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Servicing Advances: If borrowers’
payments are not made promptly
and in full, mortgage 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.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed
Securities (“CMBS”): Bonds backed by
one or more mortgages on commercial
real estate (e.g., office buildings, rental
apartments, hotels).
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.

• 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”).97 TALF closed to new loans
in June 2010.98 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.99 Of that amount, $82 million remained
outstanding as of March 31, 2014.100 As of early 2013, the TALF program
collected fees totaling more than the amount of loans still outstanding.101 As
of March 31, 2014, there had been no surrender of collateral related to these
loans.102 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”).103
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 March 31, 2014. 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.104 As of March 31, 2014,
the entire PPIP portfolio had been liquidated, and six PPIP funds were legally
dissolved while the other two were winding down operations.105 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.106 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.107 For more
information, see the “Unlocking Credit for Small Businesses/Small Business
Administration Loan Support” discussion in this section.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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.108 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.109
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.”110 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.111 On June 13,
2013, Treasury generally extended MHA programs for an additional two years,
from December 31, 2013, to December 31, 2015.112
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, known as FHA
Short Refinance, is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014.113
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.114 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 $29.8 billion for MHA incentive
payments, $7.6 billion for the Hardest Hit Fund, and $1 billion for FHA Short
Refinance.115
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.116
Incentive payments for modifications to loans owned or guaranteed by the GSEs
are paid by the GSEs, not TARP.117 As of March 31, 2014, there were 900,967
active permanent HAMP Tier 1 modifications, 469,290 of which were under
TARP, with the remainder under the GSE portion of the program.118 While
HAMP generally refers to the first-lien mortgage modification program, it also
includes the following subprograms:

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”).

63

64

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.

•

•

•

çç 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.119 As of
March 31, 2014, there were 120,263 (Tier 1 and Tier 2) active permanent
modifications through PRA.120
çç 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.121 As of March 31, 2014, 217,317
(Tier 1 and Tier 2) loan modifications had been started under HPDP, and
150,313 remained active.122
çç 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.123 As of February 28, 2014, which
according to Treasury is the most recent data available, 5,165 borrowers
were actively participating in UP.124
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
debt-to-income ratios to receive modifications.125 As of March 31, 2014, 48,706
HAMP Tier 2 modifications had become permanent, of which 44,856 remained
active.126 Of Tier 2 permanent modifications started, 7,395 were previously
HAMP Tier 1 permanent modifications of which 6,381 remained active.
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.127 As of March 31, 2014, there were 154,379 short sales or deeds-inlieu under HAFA.128
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.129 As of March 31, 2014, 16 servicers are
participating in 2MP.130 These servicers represent approximately 55-60% of the
second-lien servicing market.131 As of March 31, 2014, there were 82,471 active
permanently modified second liens in 2MP.132
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”).133 Treasury provides TARP-funded
incentives to encourage modifications under the FHA and RD modification

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

programs, but not for the VA modification program. As of March 31, 2014,
there were 137 RD-HAMP active permanent modifications, 25,143 FHAHAMP active permanent modifications, and 271 VA-HAMP active permanent
modifications.134
• 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.135 According to Treasury, as of December 31, 2013, the program had
expired and no second liens had been partially written down or extinguished
under the program.136
• 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.137 As of December 31,
2013, the latest data available, 161,783 homeowners had received assistance
under HHF.138
• 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.139
As of March 31, 2014, 4,238 loans had been refinanced under FHA Short
Refinance.140

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 $11.7 billion, or 30%, has been expended as of
March 31, 2014.141 Of that, $1.2 billion was expended in the quarter ended March
31, 2014. 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
$29.8 billion, of which $7.8 billion (26%), has been spent as of March 31, 2014.142
Treasury allocated $7.6 billion to the Hardest Hit Fund. As of March 31, 2014,
of the $7.6 billion in TARP funds available for HHF, states had drawn down $3.8
billion.143 As of December 31, 2013, the latest date for which spending analysis
is available, the states had drawn down $3.2 billion.144 As of December 31, 2013,
states had spent $2.3 billion (31%) of those funds to assist 161,783 homeowners,
spent $385.1 million (5%) for administrative expenses, and held $509.8 million

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.

(7%) as unspent cash-on-hand.145,i,ii Treasury originally allocated $8.1 billion for
FHA Short Refinance, but deobligated $7.1 billion in March 2013.146 Of the $1
billion currently allocated for FHA Short Refinance, $59.3 million has been spent,
which includes $50 million held in a pre-funded reserve account to pay future
claims, $9.3 million spent on administrative expenses, and $47,840 spent on one
refinanced mortgage that later redefaulted.147

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.

Sources: Treasury, response to SIGTARP data call, 4/9/2014.

As of March 31, 2014, Treasury had active agreements with 86 servicers.148
That compares with 145 servicers that had agreed to participate in MHA as
of October 3, 2010.149 According to Treasury, of the $29.8 billion obligated to
participating servicers under their Servicer Participation Agreements (“SPAs”),
as of March 31, 2014, only $7.8 billion (26%) has been spent, broken down as
follows: $6.4 billion had been spent on completing permanent modifications of first
liens, including HAMP Tier 1, HAMP Tier 2, PRA, and HPDP, (514,146 of which
remain active); $555.3 million had been spent under 2MP; and $773.4 million
had been spent on incentives for short sales or deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure under
HAFA.150 Of the combined amount of incentive payments, according to Treasury,
approximately $4 billion went to pay investor or lender incentives, $2.2 billion went
to pay servicer incentives, and $1.6 billion went to pay borrower incentives.151 As
of March 31, 2014, of the $7.6 billion in TARP funds available for HHF, states
had drawn down $3.8 billion.152 As of December 31, 2013, states had drawn down
$3.2 billion and, according to the latest data available, had spent $2.3 billion
(31%) of those funds to assist 161,783 homeowners, spent $385.1 million (5%)
for administrative expenses, and held $509.8 million (7%) as unspent cash-onhand.153 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.154 According to Treasury, it has paid
only one claim for one default on the 4,238 loans refinanced under FHA Short
Refinance. However, Treasury has pre-funded a reserve account with $50 million
to pay future claims and has spent $9.3 million on administrative expenses.155 Table

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.”156
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 designed to last three months, followed by a permanent
modification. Treasury pays incentives for active TARP (non-GSE) HAMP
permanent modifications for five years.157 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.158 The program description immediately below refers only to the
original HAMP program, which was renamed “HAMP Tier 1,” after the launch of
HAMP Tier 2.

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.

For additional information about
what happens to HAMP permanent
modifications after five years, please
see the discussion, “Payment Increases
on HAMP-Modified Mortgages to
Begin in 2014,” in this section.

HAMP Modification Statistics
As of March 31, 2014, a total of 900,967 mortgages were in active HAMP Tier
1 (“HAMP”) permanent modifications under both TARP (non-GSE) and GSE
HAMP. Some 31,534 were in active trial modifications. As of March 31, 2014,
for borrowers receiving permanent modifications, 95.1% received an interest rate
reduction, 64.2% received a term extension, 34.1% received principal forbearance,
and 16.7% received principal forgiveness.159 Table 2.7 shows HAMP modification
activity, broken out by TARP and GSE loans. For more detail on redefaulted
modifications over the life of HAMP, see Table 2.10 and Figure 2.4. For more
detail on HAMP modification activity, broken out by TARP and GSE loans, see

Payment Increases on HAMP–Modified Mortgages to Begin in 2014
Most homeowners who received HAMP permanent mortgage modifications saw
the interest rates on their loans cut in order to reduce their monthly payments and
make their mortgages more affordable and sustainable over the long term.160 For
the HAMP permanent modifications made in 2009, interest rates will start to go up
this year, and so will the payments, in some cases eventually by as much as $1,724
per month.161
HAMP permanent mortgage modifications lowered homeowners’ monthly
mortgage payments to 31% of their gross monthly income through a series of
steps including extending the term of the mortgage, reducing the principal
owed, or cutting the interest rate to as low as 2%.162 The terms of HAMP
permanent modifications remain fixed for five years.163 However, after five years, a
homeowner’s mortgage interest rate can increase if the modified interest rate had
been reduced below where the national average rate was for a 30-year conforming
fixed-rate mortgage on the date of the modification.164 The average interest rate
over the last five years has generally been between 3.5% and 5.4%, and most
modifications cut rates well below that benchmark.165 After five years, the interest

71

72

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

rate on the modified loan can step up incrementally by up to 1% per year until it
reaches that benchmark.166
Of the 898,262 homeowners who had active HAMP Tier 1 permanent
modifications as of February 28, 2014, 88%, or 787,762 homeowners, are
scheduled for these eventual interest rate and payment increases.167 That means
just 110,500 homeowners, or 12%, will not experience payment increases.168
Among homeowners scheduled to have mortgage interest rate and payment
increases, the median interest rate for these loans was 6.4% before modification;
the median monthly payment was $1,422.169 HAMP permanent modifications
reduced the median interest rate for these homeowners’ loans to 2% and the
median monthly payment to $773.170 The scheduled payment increases will cause
the median interest rate to rise to 4.5% and the median payment to increase to
$990.171 The median rate increase will be 2.23% and the median payment increase
will be $197.172 Some homeowners could eventually see their mortgage interest
rates increase to as much as 5.4%; for some, payments eventually could increase by
$1,724 per month; and after all payment increases, the highest mortgage payment
any homeowner would pay per month would be $8,273.173 (SIGTARP’s rate and
payment analysis excludes 70,860 HAMP permanent modifications that are
scheduled to adjust but for which records are incomplete.)
Table 2.8 shows before-modification, after-modification, and after all
modification increases, median interest rates, interest rate increases, payments, and
payment increases for homeowners who face interest rate and payment increases
on HAMP mortgage modifications, by year. For more detail, see Table F.2 in

Homeowners in All States Will Be Affected by Payment Increases
Four states account for half of homeowners with active HAMP permanent
modifications that are scheduled for interest rate and payment increases:
California, Florida, New York, and Illinois.174 Homeowners in 11 jurisdictions
face mortgage payment increases that are more than the $197 national median:
California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York,
Virginia, Utah, Washington, and Washington, DC.175 While 88% of homeowners
nationally with HAMP-modified mortgages face scheduled interest rate and
payment increases, that percentage is even higher in 18 jurisdictions: Arizona,
California, Connecticut, Guam, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island,
the Virgin Islands, Washington, and Washington, DC.176 Table 2.9 shows, as of

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Homeowners Who Have Redefaulted on HAMP Permanent
Modifications or Are at Risk of Redefaultingiii
As of March 31, 2014, HAMP has helped more than 900,967 homeowners avoid
foreclosure through permanent mortgage modifications, but another 376,804
homeowners (or 29%) 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.177 This percentage (cumulative redefault rate)
includes all homeowners who received HAMP permanent modifications since
the start of the program. As of March 31, 2014, taxpayers lost $1.2 billion in
TARP funds paid to servicers and investors as incentives for 207,784 homeowners
who received TARP (non-GSE) HAMP permanent modifications and later
redefaulted.178 Also, as of February 28, 2014, the latest data available, 94,554
(11% of active HAMP permanent modifications) had missed one to two monthly
mortgage payments and, thus, are at risk of redefaulting out of the program.179
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 50.4%.iv As of February 28, 2014, 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 2010.180 As of February 28, 2014,
the latest data provided by Treasury, homeowners who received HAMP permanent
modifications in 2009 redefaulted at rates ranging from 44.3% to 50.4%.181 As of
February 28, 2014, the latest data provided by Treasury, homeowners who received
HAMP permanent modifications in 2010 redefaulted at rates ranging from 35.4%
to 42.9%.182
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 twenty-one servicers
that participated in a survey, as of February 28, 2014, the latest data provided
by Treasury, 28% of homeowners who redefaulted received an alternative
modification, usually a private sector modification, 23% of homeowners moved into
the foreclosure process, and 11% of homeowners lost their home via a short sale or
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.183
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 29% at the end of the first quarter of 2014.184 Table
2.10 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 2.4 provides detail on the status (active and

iii In this section, “HAMP” refers to the original HAMP First-Lien Modification Program, which Treasury later named HAMP Tier 1.
iv Treasury’s calculation of redefault rates may exclude some modifications due to missing or invalid data.

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).

mortgages or are at risk of defaulting,

Redefaults: Impact on Taxpayers Funding TARP

Taxpayers have lost more than $1.2 billion in TARP funds paid to servicers and
investors as incentives for 207,784 homeowners’ non-GSE, HAMP (Tier 1)
permanent mortgage modifications that redefaulted.187 As of March 31, 2014,
Treasury has distributed $6.3 billion in TARP funds for 683,845 homeowners’
non-GSE, HAMP (Tier 1) permanent modifications.188 According to Treasury,
$3.4 billion of that was designated for investor incentives, $1.8 billion for servicer
incentives, and $1.1 billion for homeowner incentives.189 (Homeowner incentives
are paid to servicers that, in turn, apply the payment to a homeowner’s mortgage).
According to Treasury, 19% of those funds were paid for incentives on homeowners’
HAMP permanent modifications that later redefaulted.190
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, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and Select
Portfolio Servicing, Inc. (listed in Table 2.12).191,v Almost all (90%) of TARP
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.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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.193 For example, only 5,009 homeowners from Mississippi
received HAMP permanent modifications, but these homeowners have redefaulted
at a rate of 39%. 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,
69,681, but has one of the lowest redefault rates, 22%. (Only Guam, Puerto Rico,
and the Virgin Islands have lower rates.) Florida, Illinois, and New York have the
next highest number of homeowners who redefaulted, at 46,005, 22,184, and
17,499, respectively. After Mississippi, in Tennessee, Alabama, and Louisiana
homeowners have redefaulted at a rate of 37%. Tables 2.13-2.19 and Figure 2.5
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.

Starting a HAMP Tier 1 Modification
Borrowers may request participation in HAMP.194 Borrowers who have missed two
or more payments must be solicited for participation by their servicers.195 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.”196
• 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.
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 2016.197
Participating servicers verify monthly gross income for the borrower and the
borrower’s household, as well as other eligibility criteria.198 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.199
In the first step of that waterfall, 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.200 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.201
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

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.

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.202
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.203 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.204 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.205 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.206

How HAMP Tier 1 First-Lien Modifications Work
Treasury intended that HAMP trial modifications would last three months.
Historically, many trial modifications have lasted longer. According to Treasury, as
of March 31, 2014, of a combined total of 31,534 active trials under both GSE and
TARP (non-GSE) HAMP, 7,118 (23%) had lasted more than six months.207
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.208
The terms of permanent modifications under HAMP Tier 1 remain fixed for five
years.209 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.210 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
made during the trial. In addition, the borrower may be liable for late fees that were

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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.211
What Happens When a HAMP Modification Is Denied: Servicer Obligations and
Borrower Rights

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.212
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 $1,600.213 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 $400.214 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).215
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 $1,000.216 The principal reduction accrues
monthly and is payable for each of the first five years as long as the borrower
remains in good standing.217 Under both HAMP Tier 1 and HAMP Tier 2, the
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.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

HAMP Tier 2
Effective June 1, 2012, HAMP Tier 2 expanded HAMP.219 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.220 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.221 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.”222 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.223 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.224 Approximately 6,381 of active
HAMP Tier 2 permanent modifications were previously HAMP Tier 1 permanent
modifications.225
According to Treasury, as of March 31, 2014, a total of 62 of the 86 servicers
with active MHA servicer agreements had fully implemented HAMP Tier 2.226 The
remaining 24 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 nonGSE servicing operations.227 All 10 of the largest servicers have reported that they
had implemented HAMP Tier 2.228 According to Treasury, as of March 31, 2014,
it had paid $70.6 million in incentives in connection with 48,706 HAMP Tier 2
permanent modifications, 44,856 of which remain active.229
According to Treasury, as of March 31, 2014, of the 68,038 HAMP Tier 2 trial
mortgage modifications started, 63,646 (94%), were for owner-occupied properties;
3,893 (6%), were for tenant-occupied properties, and 499 (1%) were for vacant
properties.230 Of owner-occupied properties that received a HAMP Tier 2 trial
modification, 14,828 trial modifications (23%) were active and 45,504 (71%) were
converted to permanent modifications, of which 41,894 (92%) were active.231 Of
owner-occupied properties that received a HAMP Tier 2 trial modification, 3,314
(5%) were cancelled, and of those that received a permanent modification, 3,464
(8%) redefaulted.232 Around 90% of tenant-occupied properties that received either
a trial or permanent HAMP Tier 2 mortgage modification have remained active,
as of March 31, 2014.233 Of vacant properties that received a HAMP Tier 2 trial
modification, 116 (23%) were in active trial modifications, 326 (65%) were in active
permanent modifications, and 57 (11%) had their trial or permanent modification
cancelled.234 HAMP Tier 2 mortgage modification activity and property occupancy
status is shown in Table 2.21.235

HAMP Tier 2 Eligibility

HAMP Tier 2 expands the eligibility criteria related to a borrower’s debt-toincome ratio and also allows modifications on loans secured by “rental” properties.
Owner-occupied loans that are ineligible for a HAMP Tier 1 modification due to
excessive forbearance or negative NPV also may be 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.236
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.237
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.238
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.239 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.240
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.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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.241
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
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.242
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 30-year conforming fixed interest
rate on the date of the initial modification, 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.243
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.244
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.245

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.”246 NeighborWorks is a Congressionally chartered corporation that through

93

94

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

a national network of non-profit organizations administers housing programs,
including housing counseling.247 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.248 Treasury allocated $18.3 million in TARP funds for the project.249 As
of March 31, 2014, housing counselors have initiated HAMP application work
for 8,611 homeowners, of whom 2,765 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.250 According to Treasury,
housing counseling agencies are due $1,244,250 for those accepted applications.251
NeighborWorks has, as of March 31, 2014, requested $5.3 million in total funds,
mostly for outreach, oversight, and administration, as well as for the counseling
agency payments.252

For more information on these
additional housing programs, see
SIGTARP’s October 2013 Quarterly
Report, pages 93-99.

Additional TARP-Funded MHA Housing Support Programs
From April 2009 until September 2010, Treasury announced a number of
additional MHA support programs for homeowners with non-GSE mortgages.
TARP funds have been allocated to most but not all of these additional programs.
Three of these programs fall under the umbrella of the HAMP program: the Home
Price Decline Protection (“HPDP”) program, the Home Affordable Unemployment
Program (“UP”), and the Principal Reduction Alternative (“PRA”). The remaining
additional MHA programs include collaborations with other Federal agencies,
programs that aim to extinguish homeowners’ second mortgages (second liens), and
programs that offer alternatives to foreclosure. Table 2.22 provides more detail on
these programs.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Housing Finance Agency Hardest Hit Fund (“HHF”)
More than four 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”).253 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.”254 This
TARP-funded housing support program was to be developed and administered by
state housing finance agencies (“HFAs”) with Treasury’s approval and oversight.255,vi
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.256 Treasury approved
each of the 19 states’ initial program proposals and approves any proposed changes
to programs.257 These proposals include estimates of the number of homeowners to
be helped through each program (some states have more than one program).258
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.259 Plans to
use these funds were approved by Treasury on June 23, 2010.260
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 2009.261 Plans to use these funds were approved by
Treasury on August 3, 2010.262
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.263
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.264 Treasury approved third round proposals on September 23,
2010.265 On September 29, 2010, a fourth round of HHF funding of an additional
$3.5 billion was made available to existing HHF participants.266
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:267

vi 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 March 31,
2014, there were 68 active HHF programs run by the 19 state HFAs. According to Treasury, Illinois, New Jersey, Rhode Island and
Washington, DC, 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.

According to Treasury, states can reallocate funds between programs and modify
existing programs as needed, with Treasury approval, until December 31, 2017.268
According to Treasury, between December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, six states
have reallocated funds, modified or eliminated existing programs, or established
new HHF programs with Treasury approval, decreasing the total number of HHF
programs in 18 states and Washington, DC, as of March 31, 2014, to 68, down
from 69 programs as of December 31, 2014.269 According to Treasury, four states
made changes to their HHF programs in February, 2014: Arizona expanded their
Principal Reduction program to include severe negative equity; California defunded
their Los Angeles Housing Department Principal Reduction Program; Ohio closed
their application portal as of April 30, 2014, reaching their full commitment
of funding. Oregon expanded its “Rebuilding America Homeownership Pilot
Program.”270 On March 27, 2014, Illinois announced the introduction of a Blight
Elimination Program, which would provide up to $35,000 per unit for demolition,
greening and maintenance of blighted properties. Treasury has expressed support
and is in the process of approving Illinois’ proposal.271

States’ TARP Allocations and Spending for HHF
Of the $7.6 billion in TARP funds available for HHF, states collectively had drawn
down $3.8 billion (50%) as of March 31, 2014.272 As of December 31, 2013, the
latest date for which spending analysis is available, states had drawn down $3.2
billion (42%).273 However, not all of that has been spent on direct assistance to
homeowners. States have spent $2.3 billion (31% of the $7.6 billion) to assist
161,783 individual homeowners. States have spent the rest of the funds on
administrative expenses or hold the money as cash-on-hand. States have spent
$385.1 million (5%) on administrative expenses; and held $509.8 million (7%) as
unspent cash-on-hand, as of December 31, 2013, the latest data available.274 There
remains $4.4 billion (58%) in undrawn funds available for HHF, as of December
31, 2013.275
As of December 31, 2013, the latest data available, in aggregate, after about
three and a half years, states had spent 31% ($2.3 billion) of the $7.6 billion in
TARP funds that Treasury allocated for the HHF program to provide assistance
to 189,390 program participants (which translates to 161,783 individual
homeowners), or 35% of the number of homeowners the states anticipated helping
with HHF in 2011.276,vii

vii 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.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

As of December 31, 2013, 84.9% of the HHF assistance received by
homeowners was for unemployment assistance, including past-due payment
assistance.277 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
14.5% for mortgage modification, including principal reduction assistance, 0.4%
for second-lien reduction assistance, and 0.2% for transition assistance.278 As of
December 31, 2013, Michigan is the only state to have spent funds ($22,890) on
demolition programs; removing and greening one property.279
Figure 2.6 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 December
31, 2013, are the most recent available; Treasury has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down;
as of March 31, 2014, states have drawn down $3.8 billion.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

State Estimates of Homeowner Participation in HHF
According to Treasury, as of December 31, 2013, states had spent $2.3 billion to
help 161,783 homeowners; in the quarter ended December 31, 2013, states had
spent $338.4 million to help 16,702 homeowners.280 Each state estimates the
number of borrowers to be helped in its programs. In the beginning of 2011, states
collectively estimated that they would help 546,562 homeowners with HHF.281
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.282 As of December 31, 2013, the states estimated
helping 303,192 homeowners with HHF, which is 243,370 fewer homeowners
than the states estimated helping with HHF in 2011, a decline of 45%. States
collectively have reduced their estimates even from last quarter. As of September
30, 2013, the 19 states collectively estimated helping as many as 310,012
homeowners over the life of the program. By December 31, 2013, the collective
estimate had decreased by 6,820 homeowners, or 2%.283
Importantly, the states collectively estimate that HHF will help 303,192
homeowners but fail to take into account that when states report program
participation numbers, homeowners may be counted more than once when
they receive assistance from multiple HHF programs offered in their state (as
of December 31, 2013, 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.284
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.285
As of December 31, 2013, the states reported that 189,390 homeowners
participated in HHF programs.286 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,
161,783 individual homeowners participated in HHF programs.287
Table 2.23 provides each state’s estimate of the number of borrowers it projects
it will help and the actual number of borrowers helped as of December 31, 2013.viii

viii 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 APRIL 30, 2014

State by State Updates
Of the 19 states participating in HHF, over time 18 have reduced their estimates
of how many homeowners will participate in HHF, most of them significantly
since their peak estimates. One state, Oregon, increased its estimate. Collectively,
since the peak in early 2011, the 19 states have reduced their estimates of how
many people they would help by 45%. Nine states have reduced their estimates by
more than 43%: Alabama (57% reduction), Arizona (46% reduction), Florida (63%
reduction), Illinois (53% reduction), Kentucky (60% reduction), Michigan (77%
reduction), Nevada (71% reduction), Ohio (44% reduction), and Rhode Island
(74% reduction).
Collectively, as of December 31, 2013, the states have spent $2.3 billion
on direct assistance to homeowners, or 31% of the $7.6 billion in TARP funds
obligated to HHF.288,ix Of the 19 HHF states, Rhode Island has spent the highest
percentage, 67%, of its obligated funds on homeowner assistance. Indiana has
spent the lowest percentage, 13%. In addition to Indiana, six other states have
spent less than 26% of their obligated funds on assistance to homeowners:
Alabama, Arizona, 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, Rhode Island, Illinois, New Jersey, and Washington,
DC, 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.289,x Rhode
Island stopped accepting applications after January 31, 2013.290 Illinois stopped
accepting applications after September 30, 2013.291 New Jersey stopped accepting
applications after November 30, 2013.292 Washington, DC stopped accepting

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.

Alabama’s HHF Programs

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.294 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn down
$34 million (21%) of those funds.295,xi As of December 31, 2013, the most recent
data available, Alabama had spent $24.6 million (15% of its obligated funds) to
help 3,108 individual homeowners with its HHF programs.296,xii The remaining $6
million (4%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $3.4 million (2%) is held
as cash-on-hand.297,xiii As of December 31, 2013, the state had three active HHF
programs, one to provide unemployment assistance to homeowners, a second to
modify homeowners’ mortgages, and a third to provide HHF transition assistance.
At the end of 2010, Alabama estimated that it would help as many as 13,500
homeowners with HHF but, as of December 31, 2013, reduced that peak estimate
by 57%, to 5,800. Figure 2.7 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 December 31, 2013. Figure 2.8 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 December 31, 2013.

xi Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Alabama had drawn

down $34 million.
xii 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.
xiii 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.

Arizona’s HHF Programs

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.298 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn down
$127 million (47%) of those funds.299,xiv As of December 31, 2013, the most recent
data available, Arizona had spent $53.9 million (20% of its obligated funds) to
help 2,593 individual homeowners with its HHF programs.300,xv The remaining
$11.7 million (4%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $61.3 million
(23%) is held as cash-on-hand.301,xvi As of December 31, 2013, the state had four
active HHF programs: one to modify homeowners’ mortgages with principal
reduction assistance, a second to provide HHF second-lien reduction assistance to
homeowners, a third to provide unemployment assistance to homeowners, and a
fourth to provide transition assistance to homeowners. At the end of 2010, Arizona
estimated that it would help as many as 11,959 homeowners with HHF but, as of
December 31, had reduced that peak estimate by 46%, to 6,507.
Figure 2.9 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
December 31, 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 2.10 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 December 31, 2013.

xiv Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Arizona had drawn

down $127 million.
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.

California’s HHF Programs

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.302 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn down
$717.5 million (36%) of those funds.303,xvii As of December 31, 2013, the most
recent data available, California had spent $543.7 (28% of its obligated funds) to
help 33,342 individual homeowners with its HHF programs.304,xviii The remaining
$71.7 million (4%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $102.1 million (5%)
is held as cash-on-hand.305,xix As of December 31, 2013, the state had six active
HHF programs: one to provide unemployment assistance to homeowners, a second
and third to modify homeowners’ mortgages with principal reduction assistance, a
fourth to provide HHF transition assistance to homeowners, a fifth to provide pastdue payment assistance to homeowners, and a sixth to provide HHF second-lien,
principal reduction assistance to homeowners. California had another program to
provide transition assistance to homeowners but reduced the peak estimate for this
program to zero and had not provided transition assistance to any homeowners as
of December 31, 2013. California defunded the Los Angeles Housing Department
Principal Reduction Program in February 2014.
At the end of 2010, California estimated that it would help as many as 101,337
homeowners with HHF but, as of December 31, 2013, had reduced that peak
estimate by 29%, to 71,766.
Figure 2.11 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
December 31, 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 2.12 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 December 31, 2013.

xvii Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, California had drawn
down $967.5 million.
xviii 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.
xix 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.

Florida’s HHF Programs

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.306 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn down $336.3 million
(32%) of those funds.307,xx As of December 31, 2013, the most recent data available,
Florida had spent $213.4 million (20% of its obligated funds) to help 13,787
individual homeowners with its HHF programs.308,xxi The remaining $36.3 million
(3%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $86.5 million (8%) is held as cashon-hand.309,xxii As of December 31, 2013, the state had five active HHF programs:
one to provide unemployment assistance to homeowners, a second and third to
provide past-due payment assistance to homeowners, and a fourth and fifth to
modify homeowners’ mortgages. At the start of 2011, Florida estimated that it
would help as many as 106,000 homeowners with HHF but, as of December 31,
2013, had reduced that peak estimate by 63%, to 39,000.
Figure 2.13 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
December 31, 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 2.14 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 December 31, 2013.

xx Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Florida had drawn down

$411.3 million.
xxi 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.
xxii 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.

Georgia’s HHF Program

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.310 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn down $77.5 million
(23%) of those funds.311,xxiii As of December 31, 2013, the most recent data
available, Georgia had spent $62.8 million (19% of its obligated funds) to help
4,431 individual homeowners with its HHF program.312,xxiv The remaining $13.9
million (4%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $0.7 million (0.2%) is held
as cash-on-hand.313,xxv As of December 31, 2013, the state had three active HHF
programs: one to provide unemployment assistance to homeowners, a second
to provide past-due payment assistance to homeowners, and a third to modify
homeowners’ mortgages. At the end of 2010, Georgia estimated that it would help
as many as 18,300 homeowners with HHF but, as of December 31, 2013, had
reduced that peak estimate by 17%, to 15,100.314
Figure 2.15 shows the number of homeowners estimated to participate in
Georgia’s program and the number of homeowners who have been assisted, as of
December 31, 2013. Figure 2.16 shows the number of homeowners estimated to
participate in each of Georgia’s programs (estimated program participation) and the
reported number of homeowners who participated in each of Georgia’s programs
(program participation), as of December 31, 2013.

xxiii Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Georgia had drawn

down $144.4 million.
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.

Illinois’s HHF Programs

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.315 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn down $260 million
(58%) of those funds.316,xxvi As of December 31, 2013, the most recent data
available, Illinois had spent $204.1 million (46% of its obligated funds) to help
11,545 individual homeowners.317,xxvii The remaining $25.7 million (6%) was
spent on administrative expenses, and $30.2 million (7%) is held as cash-onhand.318,xxviii As of December 31, 2013, the state had three HHF programs: one
to provide unemployment assistance to homeowners and a second and third to
modify homeowners’ mortgages. Illinois stopped accepting new applications from
struggling homeowners seeking help from their HHF programs submitted after
September 30, 2013.319,xxix In mid-2011, Illinois estimated that it would help as
many as 29,000 homeowners with HHF but, as of December 31, 2013, reduced
that peak estimate by 53%, to 13,500.
Figure 2.17 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
December 31, 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 2.18 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 December 31, 2013.

xxvi Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Illinois had drawn down
$310 million.
xxvii 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.
xxviii 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.
xxix 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.

Indiana’s HHF Programs

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.320 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn down $66.3 million
(30%) of those funds.321,xxx As of December 31, 2013, the most recent data available
Indiana had spent $29.6 million (13% of its obligated funds) to help 2,722
individual homeowners with its HHF programs.322,xxxi The remaining $11.7 million
(5%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $25 million (11%) is held as cashon-hand.323,xxxii As of December 31, 2013, the state had four active HHF programs:
one to provide unemployment assistance to homeowners, a second to modify
homeowners’ mortgages, a third to provide transition assistance to homeowners,
and as of December 31, 2013, Indiana added a fourth to demolish vacant
properties. At the start of 2011, Indiana estimated helping as many as 16,257
homeowners with HHF but, as of December 31, 2013, reduced that peak estimate
by 38%, to 10,150.
Figure 2.19 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
December 31, 2013. Figure 2.20 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 December 31, 2013.

xxx Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Indiana had drawn

down $66.3 million.
xxxi 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.
xxxii 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.

homeowners with HHF.324 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn down
$84 million (56%) of those funds.325,xxxiii As of December 31, 2013, the most recent
data available, Kentucky had spent $53.5 million (36% of its obligated funds) to
help 4,874 individual homeowners with its HHF program.326,xxxiv The remaining
$9.3 million (6%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $21.3 million (14%)
is held as cash-on-hand.327,xxxv As of December 31, 2013, the state had one active
HHF program, to provide unemployment assistance to homeowners. At the end of
2010, Kentucky estimated that it would provide HHF unemployment assistance to
as many as 15,000 homeowners but, as of December 31, 2013, reduced that peak
estimate by 60%, to 5,960. As of December 31, 2013, Kentucky had helped 4,874
homeowners with HHF unemployment assistance.
Figure 2.21 shows the number of homeowners estimated to participate in
Kentucky’s program and the number of homeowners who have been assisted, as of
December 31, 2013.

xxxiii Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Kentucky had drawn
down $84 million.
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.

Michigan’s HHF Programs

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.328 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn down
$162.1 million (33%) of those funds.329,xxxvi As of December 31, 2013, the most
recent data available, Michigan had spent $126.4 million (25% of its obligated
funds) to help 17,171 individual homeowners with HHF programs.330,xxxvii As of
December 31, 2013, Michigan had spent $22,890 to demolish vacant properties.
The remaining $17.9 million (4%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $17.9
million (4%) is held as cash-on-hand.331,xxxviii As of December 31, 2013, the state
had five HHF programs: one to modify homeowners mortgage, a second to modify
homeowners’ mortgages with principal reduction assistance, a third to provide
past-due payment assistance to homeowners, a fourth to unemployment assistance
to homeowners, and a fifth to demolish vacant properties. At the end of 2010,
Michigan estimated that it would help as many as 49,422 homeowners with HHF,
but, as of December 31, 2013, had reduced that peak estimate by 77%, to 11,477.
Figure 2.22 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
December 31, 2013. Figure 2.23 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 December 31, 2013.

xxxvi Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Michigan had drawn
down $180.3 million.
xxxvii 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.
xxxviii 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

transition assistance to homeowners. In mid-2011, Nevada estimated that it would
help as many as 23,556 homeowners with HHF but, as of December 31, 2013,
reduced that peak estimate by 71%, to 6,854.

North Carolina’s HHF Programs

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.345 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn
down $313.7 million (65%) of those funds.346,xlix As of December 31, 2013, the
most recent data available, North Carolina had spent $216.9 million (45% of its
obligated funds) to help 14,943 individual homeowners with its HHF programs.347,l
The remaining $40.6 million (8%) was spent on administrative expenses, and
$56.1 million (12%) is held as cash-on-hand.348,li As of December 31, 2013, the
state had four active HHF programs: two to provide unemployment assistance to
homeowners, a third to provide second-lien reduction assistance to homeowners,
and a fourth to modify homeowners’ mortgages with principal reduction. North
Carolina had another program to modify homeowners’ mortgages but reduced
the peak estimate for this program to zero and had not modified any mortgages as
of December 31, 2013. In December 2013, North Carolina replaced its inactive
Principal Reduction Recast Program with a new Modification Enabling Pilot
Program (a sixth program) and increased funds available to homeowners under its
unemployment mortgage assistance program. From mid-2011 to mid-2013, North
Carolina estimated that it would help as many as 22,290 homeowners with HHF,
but as of December 31, 2013, reduced that peak estimate to 21,310.
Figure 2.28 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 December 31, 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 2.29 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
December 31, 2013.

xlix Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, North Carolina had

drawn down $313.7 million.
l 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.
li 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.

Ohio’s HHF Programs

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.349 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn down $270.1 million (47%)
of those funds.350,lii As of December 31, 2013, the most recent data available, Ohio
had spent $213.4 million (37% of its obligated funds) to help 15,779 individual
homeowners with its HHF programs.351,liii The remaining $34.6 million (6%) was
spent on administrative expenses, and $22.1 million (4%) is held as cash-onhand.352,liv As of December 31, 2013, the state had eight active HHF programs: four
to modify homeowners’ mortgages, a fifth to provide past-due payment assistance
to homeowners, a sixth to provide unemployment assistance to homeowners, a
seventh to provide transition assistance to homeowners and an eighth to demolish
vacant properties. As of the quarter ending December 31, 2013, Ohio had reduced
the peak estimate for one of its two transition assistance programs to zero and had
not provided HHF transition assistance to any homeowners. At the end of 2010,
Ohio estimated that it would help as many as 63,485 homeowners with HHF but,
as of December 31, 2013, reduced that peak estimate by 44%, to 35,575.
Figure 2.30 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
December 31, 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 2.31 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 December 31, 2013.

lii Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Ohio had drawn down

$321.6 million.
liii 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.
liv 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.

Oregon’s HHF Programs

Treasury obligated $220,042,786 of HHF funds to Oregon.353 As of December
31, 2013, the state had drawn down $155 million (70%) of those funds.354,lv As of
December 31, 2013, the most recent data available, Oregon had spent $128.6
million (58% of its obligated funds) to help 9,388 individual homeowners.355,lvi The
remaining $28.7 million (13%) was spent on administrative expenses, and $7.4
million (3%) is held as cash-on-hand.356,lvii As of December 31, 2013, the state
had four active HHF programs: two to modify homeowners’ mortgages, a third to
provide unemployment assistance to homeowners, and a fourth to provide pastdue payment assistance to homeowners. Oregon had another program to modify
homeowners’ mortgages but had not assisted any homeowners in that program. As
of December 31, 2013, Oregon had reduced the peak estimate for its transition
assistance program and had not assisted any homeowners. As of mid-2010, Oregon
estimated that it would help as many as 9,400 homeowners with HHF but, as of
December 31, 2013, had increased that estimate to 15,280.357
Figure 2.32 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
December 31, 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 2.33 shows the number of
homeowners estimated to participate in each of Oregon’s programs (estimated
program participation) and the reported number of homeowners who participated
in each of Oregon’s programs (program participation), as of December 31, 2013.

lv Treasury has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Oregon had drawn down

$188.7 million.
lvi 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.

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. Oregon has spent $2.4 million on program and administrative expenses in excess of what it has drawn from Treasury, but
made up the for short fall using $9.1 million in collections from homeowners that received assistance. Including these collections,
Oregon has $7.4 million cash-on-hand.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Rhode Island’s HHF Program

Treasury obligated $79,351,573 of HHF funds to Rhode Island.358 As of December
31, 2013, the state had drawn down $66.5 million (84%) of those funds.359,lviii As of
December 31, 2013, the most recent data available, Rhode Island had spent $53.6
million (67% of its obligated funds) to help 3,059 individual homeowners with its
HHF programs.360,lix The remaining $7.5 million (9%) was spent on administrative
expenses, and $5.4 million (7%) is held as cash-on-hand.361,lx As of December 31,
2013, the state had five HHF programs: two to modify homeowners’ mortgages
(one of which includes principal reduction assistance), a third to provide past-due
payment assistance to homeowners, a fourth to provide transition assistance to
homeowners, and a fifth to provide unemployment assistance to homeowners.
According to Treasury, Rhode Island stopped accepting new applications from
struggling homeowners seeking help from their HHF programs submitted after
January 31, 2013.362,lxi At the end of 2010, Rhode Island estimated that it would
help as many as 13,125 homeowners with HHF but, as of December 31, 2013,
reduced that peak estimate by 74%, to 3,413.
Figure 2.34 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,
as of December 31, 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 2.35 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
December 31, 2013.

lviii Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Rhode Island had drawn
down $66.5 million.
lix 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.
lx 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.
lxi 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.

South Carolina’s HHF Programs

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.363 As of December 31, 2013, the state had drawn
down $112.5 million (38%) of those funds.364,lxii As of December 31, 2013, the
most recent data available, South Carolina had spent $89.9 million (30% of its
obligated funds) to help 6,844 individual homeowners with its HHF programs.365,lxiii
The remaining $17.3 million (6%) was spent on administrative expenses, and
$5.3 million (2%) is held as cash-on-hand.366,lxiv As of December 31, 2013, the
state had four active HHF programs: one to provide unemployment assistance to
homeowners, a second to provide past-due payment assistance to homeowners,
a third to modify homeowners’ mortgages, and a fourth to provide transition
assistance to homeowners. South Carolina ended its program to provide secondlien reduction assistance to homeowners. As of December 31, 2013, South
Carolina introduced a new program to modify homeowners’ mortgages and had
reduced the peak estimates to zero for its original program to modify homeowners’
mortgages and its program to provide homeowners with second-lien reduction
assistance. At the end of 2010, South Carolina estimated that it would help as
many as 34,100 homeowners with HHF but, as of December 31, 2013, reduced
that peak estimate by 43%, to 19,400.
Figure 2.36 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 December 31, 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 2.37 shows the number
of homeowners estimated to participate in each of South Carolina’s programs
(estimated program participation) and the reported number of homeowners who
participated in each of South Carolina’s programs (program participation), as of
December 31, 2013.

lxii Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, South Carolina had

drawn down $125 million.
lxiii 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.
lxiv 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

assistance to homeowners. 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 December 31, 2013, reduced that peak estimate by 16%, to
11,300. As of December 31, 2013, Tennessee had provided HHF unemployment
assistance to 5,380 homeowners.
Figure 2.38 shows the number of homeowners estimated to participate in
Tennessee’s program and the number of homeowners who have been assisted, as of
December 31, 2013.

lxv Treasury

has separately published March 31, 2014, figures for amounts drawn down; as of March 31, 2014, Tennessee had drawn
down $111.3 million.
lxvi 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.
lxvii 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.

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.376 FHA Short Refinance is voluntary for servicers.
Therefore, not all underwater borrowers who qualify may be able to participate
in the program.377 As of March 31, 2014, according to Treasury, 4,238 loans had
been refinanced under the program.378 As of March 31, 2014, 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.379 Treasury has
deposited $50 million into a reserve account for future claims.380 It has also spent
approximately $9.3 million on administrative expenses associated with the letter of
credit.381

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.382 According to the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), it evaluates the credit risk of the
loans.383
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%.384 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).385
If a borrower defaults, the letter of credit purchased by Treasury compensates
the investor for a first percentage of losses, up to specified amounts.386 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

FHA Short Refinance eligibility, see

Report, pages 85-87.

at default.387 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.388 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, 2014.389

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION SUPPORT PROGRAMS

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 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”).390

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.391 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.392
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. Subchapter S corporations (“S corporations”) paid an
initial rate of 7.7%, that increases to 13.8%. Rate increases began in the quarter
ended December 31, 2013.
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.393 Privately held institutions issued
warrants to Treasury to purchase additional senior preferred stock worth 5% of
Treasury’s initial preferred stock investment.394 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.395

Status of Funds
As of March 31, 2014, 107 of the 707 institutions remained in CPP; in 36 of
them, Treasury holds only warrants to purchase stock. Treasury does not consider
these 36 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 March 31, 2014, 71 of the 107 institutions had outstanding principal

Mandatorily Convertible Preferred
Stock (“MCP”): A type of preferred
share (ownership in a company that
generally entitles the owner of the
shares to collect dividend payments)
that can be converted to common
stock under certain parameters at the
discretion of the company – and must
be converted to common stock by a
certain time.
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.
Subordinated Debentures: Form of debt
security that ranks below other loans
or securities with regard to claims on
assets or earnings.

investments. Taxpayers were still owed $6.7 billion.396 According to Treasury,
it had write-offs, realized losses, and investments currently not collectible as a
result of bankruptcy of $4.7 billion in the program, leaving $2 billion in TARP
funds outstanding. Included as investments currently not collectible are those in
26 CPP banks, or their subsidiary banks, with total CPP investments of $790.5
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.397 As of
March 31, 2014, $196 billion of the CPP principal (or 96%) had been repaid.398
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.399 As of March 31, 2014, Treasury had received
approximately $12.1 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.400 For a complete list of CPP share repurchases, see
Appendix D: “Transaction Detail.”
Of the 707 banks that received CPP investments, 636 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.401
Only 241 of the 707 banks, or 34%, fully repaid CPP principal otherwise.402 Of
the other banks that no longer have outstanding principal investments, four CPP
banks merged with other CPP banks; Treasury sold its investments in 25 banks for
less than par and sold at auction its investments in 172 banks (all but 13 of these
investments sold at a loss); and 29 institutions or their subsidiary banks failed,
meaning Treasury has lost or expects to lose its entire investment in those banks.403
Figure 2.40 shows the status of the 707 CPP recipients as of March 31, 2014.
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.404 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 61%,
having outstanding investments of less than $10 million.405 Table 2.24 shows the
distribution of investments by amount.

As of March 31, 2014, of the 71 banks with remaining principal investments
in CPP, 20 were in the Southeast region, 14 were in the Midwest region, 12 were
in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast region, 12 were in the Southwest/South Central
region, seven were in the West region, and six were in the Mountain West/Plains
region. The Southeast region and the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast region had the largest
total remaining CPP investments; $1.4 billion and $210 million, respectively.
These regions were followed in remaining CPP investments by the Midwest
region ($117.4 million), the Southwest/South Central region ($133 million), the
Mountain West/Plains region ($42.3 million), and the West region ($50.1 million).

Program Administration
Although Treasury’s investment authority for CPP has ended, Treasury still has
significant responsibilities for managing the existing CPP portfolio, including the
following:
•
•
•
•

collecting dividends and interest payments on outstanding investments
monitoring the performance of outstanding investments
disposing of warrants as investments are repaid
selling or restructuring Treasury’s investments in some troubled financial
institutions
• selecting observers for recipients that have missed five quarterly dividend
payments
• selecting directors for recipients that have missed six or more quarterly dividend
payments

Dividends and Interest
As of March 31, 2014, Treasury had received $12.1 billion in dividends on its
CPP investments.406 However, as of that date, missed dividend and interest
payments by 181 institutions, including banks with missed payments that no
longer have outstanding CPP principal investments, totaled approximately $512
million, an increase from last quarter’s $506.9 million in missed payments from
183 institutions. Approximately $30.7 million of the unpaid amounts are noncumulative, meaning that the institution has no legal obligation to pay Treasury
unless the institution declares a dividend.407
More than two-thirds, or 52 of the 71 banks that had remaining CPP principal
investments as of March 31, 2014, were not current on their dividend and interest
payments to Treasury.408 The 52 banks were behind by as many as 21 payments
and in total were overdue in payments to Treasury of $104.6 million.409 As of
March 31, 2014, 52 of the 71 banks with remaining principal investments were
overdue by at least three payments, including 48 banks that were overdue by at
least six payments.410 Of the banks with remaining principal investments that are
not current on payments, 37 have unpaid dividend and interest payments that are
cumulative, and 10 have unpaid dividend payments that are non-cumulative.
Table 2.32 shows the number of institutions and total unpaid amount of
dividend and interest payments by quarter from September 30, 2009, to March
31, 2014. Tables 2.26–2.31 show the distribution of missed payments and value of
those payments by state.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

CPP Dividend Rates Increase for Remaining Banks

As the banks with remaining principal investments reach the five-year anniversary
of the date of investment, they face a dividend rate increase from 5% to 9% on the
next quarterly payment due date. For example, if the investment in a bank matured
to five years in December 2013, the payment due on the next quarterly payment
date in February 2014 will be at the 9% dividend rate (some banks structured as S
corporations face an interest rate increase from 7.7% to 13.8%). The rate increases
have already started to take place and will affect large numbers of the remaining
CPP banks throughout 2014.
Of the 71 banks with remaining CPP principal investments, there are 26 banks
whose rates have already increased as of March 31, 2014; of them, 18 are already
behind on their dividend payments. By the May 15, 2014, payment date, rates
will increase to 9% for an additional 29 banks, of which 25 are already behind
on dividend payments. By the August 15, 2014, payment date, rates will increase
for 13 more banks, nine of which have already missed dividend payments. Rates
will increase for one more bank by November 15, 2014, and for the remaining
two banks by February 15, 2015. Table 2.33 lists the remaining banks by date of
dividend rate increase.
As of March 31, 2014, of the 71 banks with remaining principal investments
in CPP, 52 already have overdue missed dividends and interest. For these banks,
with the increase in the dividend rate, the amount overdue to Treasury will grow
more quickly. While all banks, regardless of size, received CPP on the same terms,
the one-size-fits-all repayment terms may not fit all. Because so many of these
banks are not paying the 5% dividend, an increase to 9% may not have the intended
effect of incentivizing them to exit TARP, particularly if they lack the ability to
raise capital. In October 2011, SIGTARP recommended to Treasury that it assess
whether it should renegotiate the terms of its CPP contracts for those community
banks that will not be able to exit TARP prior to the dividend rate increase.
Treasury did not implement this recommendation.

For more on SIGTARP’s October
2011 recommendation regarding
how Treasury should treat community
banks unable to exit TARP before the
dividend rate increase, see SIGTARP’s
October 2011 Quarterly Report, pages
167-169, and SIGTARP’s January
2012 Quarterly Report, pages 159161.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Treasury’s Policy on Missed Dividend and Interest Payments

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.

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.411 For those that have unfavorable credit
scores, including any institution that has missed more than three dividend (or
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.”412
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.413
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.414
As of March 31, 2014, of the 71 institutions with remaining principal
investments, 48 CPP institutions have missed at least six payments.415 As of March
31, 2014, Treasury had made director appointments to the boards of directors
of 16 CPP banks, as noted in Table 2.35.416 Most of those banks no longer have
remaining CPP principal investments. Just three of the 71 banks with remaining
principal investments have Treasury-appointed directors. On February 6, 2014,
Treasury appointed Larry Mingledorff and Paul Clabuesch to the board of directors
Central Bancorp, Inc., Garland, Texas, after it had missed 12 payments totaling
$3.7 million.417
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.418 As of March 31, 2014, of the 71 CPP banks
with remaining principal investments, 51 had missed at least five payments.419
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.”420 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.421 The findings of the
observers are taken into account when Treasury evaluates whether to appoint
individuals to an institution’s board of directors.422 As of March 31, 2014, Treasury
had assigned observers to 21 current CPP recipients, as noted in Table 2.35.423
Twelve banks have rejected Treasury’s requests to send an observer to the
institutions’ board meetings.424 The banks had initial CPP investments of as much
as $27 million, have missed as many as 21 quarterly dividend payments to Treasury,
and have been overdue in dividend payments by as much as $4.1 million.425 Five of
these banks have since been sold at a loss to Treasury at auction.426 Five of these
banks have remaining CPP principal investments, three of which continue to
have missed payments.427 At 21 missed dividend payments, Saigon National Bank,

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Westminster, California, which has never made a dividend payment, has more
missed payments than any TARP bank, yet rejected Treasury’s request to send an
observer to its board meetings.428 Table 2.34 lists the banks that rejected Treasury
observers.
Seven of the 707 banks that received CPP investments have never made a
single dividend payment to Treasury since receiving CPP investments. Of these
seven banks, four have remaining CPP principal investments and two have exited
TARP as a result of bankruptcy. Midwest Banc Holdings, Inc., Melrose Park,
Illinois, and One Georgia Bank, Atlanta, Georgia, both exited CPP by bankruptcy.
The four remaining banks that have never made a dividend payment are: Saigon
National Bank, Westminster, California (21 missed payments); Lone Star Bank,
Houston, Texas (20); United American Bank, San Mateo, California (20); and
Grand Mountain Bankshares, Granby, Colorado (19).

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.429 SIGTARP
generally includes such activity in Table 2.35 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 March 31, 2014, 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 143 banks had missed five
dividend (or interest) payments totaling $426.1 million.430 Table 2.35 lists CPP
recipients that had unpaid dividend (or interest) payments as of March 31, 2014.
For a complete list of CPP recipients and institutions making dividend or interest
payments, see Appendix D: “Transaction Detail.”

Notes: Numbers may not total due to rounding. Approximately $30.7 million of the $512 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.

For 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.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

CPP Recipients: Bankrupt or with Failed Subsidiary Banks
Despite Treasury’s stated goal of limiting CPP investments to “healthy, viable
institutions,” as of March 31, 2014, 29 CPP participants had gone bankrupt or had
a subsidiary bank fail, as indicated in Table 2.36.431 As of March 31, 2014, 26 of
those banks, with total CPP investments of $790.5 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.432
Closure of Syringa Bank

On January 16, 2009, Treasury invested $8 million in Syringa Bancorp, Boise,
Idaho, (“Syringa”) through CPP in return for preferred stock and warrants.433 On
January 31, 2014, the Idaho Department of Finance, closed Syringa’s subsidiary
bank, Syringa Bank, Boise, Idaho, (“Syringa Bank”) and named the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver.434 FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with Sunwest Bank, Irvine, California, to assume all of the
deposits of Syringa Bank. FDIC estimates that the cost of Syringa Bank’s failure to
the deposit insurance fund will be $4.5 million.435 All of Treasury’s investment in
Syringa is expected to be lost.436

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, 3/19/2014.

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.437 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 March 31, 2014, Treasury had realized losses, writeoffs, and investments currently not collectible as a result of bankruptcy of $4.7
billion on its CPP investments. This total includes $8.2 million in realized losses
this quarter. Also included is $790.5 million in 26 banks that Treasury classified
this quarter as currently not collectible as a result of bankruptcy. Table 2.37 shows
all realized losses, write-offs, and investments currently not collectible as a result of
bankruptcy recorded by Treasury on CPP investments through March 31, 2014.

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.438
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.439
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.440 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.441 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.442
Table 2.38 shows all restructurings, recapitalizations, exchanges, and sales of
CPP investments through March 31, 2014.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

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

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.

From March 2012 through March 31, 2014, Treasury has held 24 sets of auctions
in which it has sold all of its preferred stock investments in 172 CPP banks.443
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 13 of the banks sold at a
discounted price and resulted in losses to Treasury.444 In the 24 auction sets, the
range of discount on the investments was 1% to 83%.445 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 172 banks in which Treasury sold its
stock through the auction process, 63 were overdue on payments to Treasury.446
The $218.8 million owed to Treasury for missed payments by these 63 banks will
never be recovered.447 As of March 31, 2014, Treasury lost a total of $991 million
in the auctions, which includes $772.2 million lost on principal investments sold
at a discount and $218.8 million on forfeited missed dividends and interest owed
by these institutions.448 More than a quarter of the banks, 43 bought back some of
their shares at the discounted price.449 In two sets of auctions this quarter, Treasury
sold all of its TARP preferred investment in 10 banks.450 The two auctions this
quarter accrued losses to Treasury of $30.7 million.451
Table 2.39 shows details for the auctions of preferred stock in CPP banks
through March 31, 2014.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

For a discussion of SIGTARP’s
August 20, 2013, recommendation
to Treasury regarding the inclusion of
SBLF funds as TARP repayments, see
SIGTARP’s October 2013 Quarterly
Report, pages 281-282.
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.

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.452
Under CDCI, TARP made $570.1 million in investments in 84 eligible banks and
credit unions.453 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.454 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.455 According to Treasury, it received a total of 935 SBLF
applications, of which 320 were TARP recipients under CPP (315) or CDCI (5).456
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.457 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.458 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.459
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.460 Treasury’s warrants constitute assets with a fair market value
that Treasury estimates using relevant market quotes, financial models, and/or
third-party valuations.461 As of March 31, 2014, Treasury had not exercised any
of these warrants.462 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.463 Unsold and
unexercised warrants expire 10 years from the date of the CPP investment.464 As
of March 31, 2014, Treasury had received $7.9 billion through the sale of CPP
warrants obtained by TARP recipients.465
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 March 31, 2014, 164 publicly traded institutions
had bought back $3.9 billion worth of warrants, of which $33.3 million was
purchased this quarter. As of that same date, 275 privately held institutions, the
warrants of which had been immediately exercised, bought back the resulting

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

additional preferred shares for a total of $163 million, of which $3.2 million was
bought back this quarter.466 Table 2.40 lists publicly traded institutions that repaid
TARP and repurchased warrants in the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Table 2.41
lists privately held institutions that had done so in the same quarter.467

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.468 As of March 31, 2014, the combined proceeds
from Treasury’s public and private warrant auctions totaled $5.5 billion.469
Public Warrant Auctions

In November 2009, Treasury began selling warrants via public auctions.470
Through March 31, 2014, Treasury had held 26 public auctions for warrants it
received under CPP, TIP, and AGP, raising a total of approximately $5.4 billion.471
Treasury did not conduct any public warrant auctions this quarter.472 Final closing
information for all public warrant auctions is shown in Table 2.42.

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.473 On June 6, 2013, it conducted a second
private auction to sell the warrants of 16 banks for $13.9 million.474 Details from
both auctions are listed in Table 2.43. 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.475 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.”476

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

For more information on CDCI
institutions that remain in TARP and
their use of TARP funds, see Section 3:
“Banks and Credit Unions in TARP’s
CDCI Program Face Challenges.”

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.

Community Development Capital Initiative
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.477 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.478 CDCI was open to certified, qualifying CDFIs or financial
institutions that applied for CDFI status by April 30, 2010.479
According to Treasury, CPP-participating CDFIs that were in good standing
could exchange their CPP investments for CDCI investments.480 CDCI closed to
new investments on September 30, 2010.481
Treasury invested $570.1 million in 84 institutions under the program — 36
banks or bank holding companies and 48 credit unions.482 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 March 31, 2014, 69 institutions remained in CDCI. Fourteen institutions
have fully repaid Treasury and have exited CDCI. One institution has partially
repaid and remains in the program. No institutions exited CDCI this quarter.
Premier Bancorp, Inc., Wilmette, Illinois, previously had its subsidiary bank fail
and thus almost all of Treasury’s $6.8 million investment was lost.483
As of March 31, 2014, taxpayers were still owed $475.2 million related to
CDCI.484 According to Treasury, it had realized losses of $6.7 million in the
program that will never be recovered, leaving $468.5 million outstanding.485
According to Treasury, $94.9 million of the CDCI principal (or 17%) had been
repaid as of March 31, 2014.486 As of March 31, 2014, Treasury had received
approximately $38.3 million in dividends and interest from CDCI recipients.487
Table 2.44 lists the current status of all CDCI investments as of March 31, 2014.

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

Missed Dividends
As of March 31, 2014, two institutions still in CDCI had unpaid dividend or
interest payments to Treasury totaling $200,300.488 As a result of a bankrupt
institution that exited CDCI without remitting its interest payments, the total value
of all missed payments equals $516,924. 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.489 As of March 31,
2014, Treasury had not appointed directors to the board of any CDCI institution.490
Treasury has sent an observer to the board meetings of one institution, First Vernon
Bancshares, Inc., Vernon, Alabama, however no observer is currently attending
board meetings of this institution.491 Treasury made a request to send an observer
to the board meetings of First American International Corp., Brooklyn, New York,
in February 2013, but the institution, which remains in TARP as of March 31,
2014, rejected Treasury’s request.492 Table 2.45 lists CDCI institutions that are not
current on dividend or interest payments.

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.493 Participating credit unions and S corporations issued subordinated debt to
Treasury in lieu of the preferred stock issued by other CDFI participants.494 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.495 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%.496 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 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.497

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.

Systemically Significant Failing Institutions Program
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.”498 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.499 AIG also received bailout funding from the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York (“FRBNY”). 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 to
Treasury.500
AIG has repaid the amounts owed to both Treasury and FRBNY. Treasury’s
investment in AIG ended on March 1, 2013.501
According to Treasury, taxpayers have received full payment on FRBNY’s loans,
plus interest and fees of $6.8 billion; full repayment of the loans to two special
purpose vehicles (“SPVs”), called 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 insurance-business SPVs, plus interest and fees of $1.4
billion.502 Treasury’s books and records reflect only the shares of AIG that 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.503 However, because TARP funds
paid off amounts owed to FRBNY in return for stock, Treasury’s position is that the
Government has made $4.1 billion selling AIG common shares and $959 million in
dividends, interest, and other income.504

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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.505 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.”506 Both banks repaid TIP in December 2009.507 On
March 3, 2010, Treasury auctioned the Bank of America warrants it received under
TIP for $1.24 billion.508 On January 25, 2011, Treasury auctioned the Citigroup
warrants it had received under TIP for $190.4 million.509

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”).510
Treasury received $4 billion of the TRUPS and FDIC received $3 billion.511
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.512
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.513 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.514 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.515
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

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

For a discussion of the basis of the
decision to provide Federal assistance
to Citigroup, see SIGTARP’s audit
report, “Extraordinary Financial
Assistance Provided to Citigroup,
Inc.,” dated January 13, 2011.

proceeds from the $2.2 billion sale of the Citigroup TRUPS, which occurred on
September 30, 2010.516 On January 25, 2011, Treasury auctioned the Citigroup
warrants it had received under AGP for $67.2 million.517 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.518
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.519 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.520

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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.”521
On December 9, 2013, Treasury sold its remaining shares of General Motors
Company (“GM”) common stock.522 Separately, on March 20, 2014, Treasury
wrote off an $826 million administrative claim in the company’s 2009 bankruptcy,
ending all taxpayer involvement in GM.523 As of March 31, 2014, Ally Financial
Inc. (“Ally Financial”), formerly GMAC Inc., is the only remaining auto-related
company in which Treasury owns a stake, with $6.5 billion owed to taxpayers. On
January 23, 2014, Treasury sold 410,000 shares of Ally Financial common stock
for approximately $3 billion in a private placement, reducing its stake to 37% of
the company’s stock.524 Following this, on April 9, 2014, Treasury announced they
would sell 95 million shares of Ally common stock for $2.4 billion as part of an
initial public offering (IPO). Following the Ally Financial IPO, Treasury reported
that it would still hold 82,311,010 shares; reducing Treasury’s stake in Ally to about
17%.525
As of March 31, 2014, taxpayers had lost $11.2 billion on the TARP investment
in GM from selling GM common stock at prices below the Government’s cost
basis, as well as from the write-off of its remaining investment in Old GM in the
amount of $826 million, according to Treasury.526 Additionally, taxpayers lost $845
million on the sale of Ally Financial’s common stock.527 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. AWCP and ASSP were terminated in July
2009, and April 2010, respectively.
Treasury initially obligated approximately $84.8 billion in TARP funds through
the three auto assistance programs to GM, Ally Financial, Chrysler, and Chrysler
Financial.528 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.529 As of March 31,
2014, taxpayers were owed $20.6 billion, of which $14.9 billion in losses have been
realized or written off and will never be repaid, leaving $5.7 billion outstanding.530
Treasury’s investments in AIFP and the two related programs and the
companies’ principal repayments are summarized in Table 2.46.

Financial, see “Taxpayers Continue to

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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, 2009.531 Of
AIFP-related loan principal repayments and share sale proceeds, as of March
31, 2014, Treasury had received approximately $38.3 billion related to its GM
investment, $10.7 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.532 In addition to principal repayments, Treasury had received
approximately $5.6 billion in dividends and interest as of March 31, 2014.533

GM
Between September 26, 2013 and December 9, 2013, Treasury sold its remaining
101.3 million shares of GM common stock. As of March 31, 2014, taxpayers had
lost $11.2 billion on the investment in GM.534 Treasury provided approximately
$49.5 billion to GM through AIFP, the largest of the automotive rescue
programs.535 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).
Debt Repayments

As of March 31, 2014, GM had made approximately $756.7 million in dividend
and interest payments to Treasury under AIFP.536 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.537
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.538 As part of the IPO priced at
$33 per share, Treasury sold 412.3 million common shares for $13.5 billion in
net proceeds, reducing its number of common shares to 500.1 million and its
ownership in GM from 61% to 33%.539 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.540 In
early 2011, Treasury further diluted its ownership from 33% to 32% when GM
contributed 61 million of its common shares to fund GM’s pension plans.541
After that, Treasury 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.542 On January
18, 2013, Treasury announced the first of four pre-arranged written trading plans
to divest its remaining shares.543 Under the first trading plan, which ended April

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

17, 2013, Treasury sold 58.4 million shares at an average share price of $28.05 for
total proceeds of $1.6 billion.544 During Treasury’s second trading plan that ended
on September 13, 2013, it sold 110.3 million shares at an average share price
of $34.65, for total proceeds of $3.8 billion.545 In Treasury’s third trading plan,
ending on November 20, 2013, 70.2 million GM shares sold at an average share
price of $36.51, for proceeds of $2.6 billion.546 In the fourth and final trading plan,
between November 21, 2013, and December 9, 2013, Treasury sold its remaining
31.1 million GM shares for an average price of $38.82 per share, for proceeds of
$1.2 billion.547 In addition to the trading plans, on June 12, 2013, Treasury sold 30
million shares of common stock at $34.41 per share in a public equity offering that
raised $1 billion.548
As of March 31, 2014, taxpayers had realized losses from an accounting
standpoint of $10.3 billion on all GM common shares sold from November
2010 through December 9, 2013, according to Treasury.549 The losses are due to
Treasury’s sales of GM common shares at prices below its cost basis of $43.52
per share. In addition, Treasury’s write-off of an $826 million claim in GM’s
bankruptcy, brought the total loss to taxpayers to $11.2 billion.550

For a discussion of the history and
financial condition of Ally Financial,
see SIGTARP’s January 2013
Quarterly Report, pages 147-164.

Ally Financial, formerly known as GMAC
Ally Financial is still in TARP and as of March 31, 2014, taxpayers were owed $6.5
billion for the TARP investment in it. In return for its investment, as of March 31,
2014, Treasury held approximately 37% of Ally Financial’s common stock.551 On
January 23, 2014, Treasury sold 410,000 shares of Ally Financial common stock
for approximately $3 billion in a private placement, after which its ownership stake
was reduced from 63% to 37% of the company’s stock. The stock sold at $7,375
per share.552 Following this, Treasury announced it would sell 95 million shares of
common stock for $2.4 billion in Ally’s IPO on April 10, 2014, further reducing
the taxpayer’s share to 82,311,010 shares, or 17%. These shares would need to sell
at $50 each to recover the outstanding principal owed to taxpayers of $4.1 billion.
The IPO also included an option to sell an additional 14.3 million of Treasury’s
shares.553
On November 20, 2013, Ally paid 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.554 As of March 31, 2014, Ally Financial had made three principal
payments for a total of $10.7 billion to Treasury since receiving bailout assistance
almost five years ago.555 The company also had paid a total of $3.7 billion in
quarterly dividends to Treasury through March 31, 2014, as required by the terms
of the preferred stock that Ally Financial issued to Treasury.556
Ally Financial received $17.2 billion in three separate direct injections of TARP
funds, plus a TARP-funded capital injection from GM. 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 $2,500.557 In January 2009, Treasury loaned
GM $884 million to invest in GMAC.558 In May 2009, Treasury exchanged this
$884 million debt for a 35% common equity ownership in GMAC.559 On May 21,

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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 $75,000.560
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.561 Additionally,
Treasury converted $3 billion of its MCP into GMAC common stock, increasing
its common equity ownership from 35% to 56%.562 On May 10, 2010, GMAC
changed its name to Ally Financial Inc.563
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%.564 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.565
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.566 Later, GM’s interests were
consolidated in the trust and on December 12, 2013, GM sold its stake for $0.9
billion.567 As of March 27, 2014, Treasury held a 37% stake in Ally’s common stock,
and Third Point Loan LLC and Cerberus held 9.5% and 8.7%, respectively.568
Ally Financial Sells Some Stock in Private Placement; Repurchases Preferred
Shares from Treasury

On November 20, 2013, Ally Financial closed two transactions that reduced
Treasury’s stake in the company from 74% to 63%.569 In one transaction, Ally
Financial completed a private placement of 216,667 shares of its common stock for
an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 billion. In the other transaction, Ally Financial
repurchased from Treasury all of its MCP and also terminated Treasury’s existing
share adjustment right associated with those shares.570 Ally said it paid 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.571
According to Treasury, under new agreements associated with these
transactions, Treasury had the right to designate a majority of the Ally Financial
Board of Directors as long as its ownership stake exceeded 50%, which it no longer
does.572 As of March 31, 2014, Treasury had designated six of the 11 directors.573
On December 23, 2013, Ally Financial announced that the Federal Reserve
had granted the company financial holding company status, permitting it to engage
in a broader range of business activities, while continuing to operate its insurance
and remarketing businesses.574 In addition, on March 24, 2014 the Federal Reserve
announced that Ally Financial had passed its CCAR “stress test.”575

Ally Financial IPO

On April 9, 2014, Treasury announced an initial public offering (IPO) of Ally
Financial common stock, reporting that it would sell 95 million shares of Ally stock
with an option for the purchase of an additional 14.3 million of Treasury’s shares.576
Treasury reported that the shares would be offered at $25 per share for $2.375
billion in proceeds. In addition, Treasury granted a 30-day option to purchase the
additional shares, which traded on the New York stock exchange.577
Ally had announced its IPO plans as early as March 31, 2011, by filing a
Form S-1 Registration statement for an IPO with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”).578 The document includes a prospectus relating to the
issuance of Ally Financial common stock.579 The prospectus also outlines certain
aspects of Ally Financial’s business operations and risks facing the company.580
Ally Financial disclosed additional details about its IPO in several amended
Form S-1 Registration statements filed over time with the SEC, the most recent on
March 27, 2014.581
Ally Financial Released from Mortgage Claims of Bankrupt Subsidiary

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.582 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.583
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.584 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.585 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 when the reorganization plan became
effective.586 The U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the ResCap reorganization plan
on December 11, 2013, marking the court’s formal approval of broad releases
for all mortgage-related claims against Ally Financial. The plan became effective
December 17, 2013.587
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.588 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.589 Ally Financial also
has said it expects the sale of a joint venture stake in China to close in 2014.590

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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.591
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.592 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.593 Table 2.47 summarizes Ally Financial’s international and domestic

Chrysler
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:
$4 billion before bankruptcy to CGI Holding LLC, parent of Chrysler and Chrysler
Financial; $1.9 billion in financing to Chrysler during bankruptcy; and $6.6 billion
to Chrysler afterwards, in exchange for 10% of Chrysler common equity.594
In 2010, following the bankruptcy court’s approval of Chrysler’s liquidation
plan, the $1.9 billion loan was extinguished without repayment.595 As of March 31,
2014, Treasury had recovered approximately $57.4 million from asset sales during
bankruptcy.596 Of the $4 billion lent to Chrysler’s parent company, CGI Holding
LLC, $500 million of the debt was assumed by Chrysler while the remaining $3.5
billion was held by CGI Holding LLC.597 Treasury later accepted $1.9 billion in full
satisfaction of the $3.5 billion loan.598

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

In spring 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.599
In mid-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
(“UAW”) retiree trust pertaining to the trust’s shares in Chrysler.600
As of July 21, 2011, the Chrysler entities had made approximately $1.2 billion
in interest payments to Treasury under AIFP.601

Chrysler Financial
Chrysler Financial fully repaid the TARP investment, which included a Treasury
loan of $1.5 billion to support Chrysler Financial’s retail lending in January
2009. On July 14, 2009, Chrysler Financial fully repaid the loan in addition to
approximately $7.4 million in interest payments.602 Additionally, on May 14, 2010,
Treasury accepted $1.9 billion in full satisfaction of a $3.5 billion loan to CGI
Holding LLC, relinquishing any claim on Chrysler Financial.603 On December
21, 2010, TD Bank Group agreed to purchase Chrysler Financial from Cerberus,
the owner of CGI Holding LLC, for approximately $6.3 billion completing its
acquisition on April 1, 2011.604

Auto Supplier Support Program (“ASSP”) and Auto Warranty
Commitment Program (“AWCP”)
On March 19, 2009, Treasury committed $5 billion to ASSP to “help stabilize the
automotive supply base and restore credit flows,” with loans to GM ($290 million)
and Chrysler ($123.1 million) fully repaid in April 2010.605
AWCP guaranteed Chrysler and GM vehicle warranties during the companies’
bankruptcy, with Treasury obligating $640.8 million — $360.6 million for GM and
$280.1 million for Chrysler, both fully repaid to Treasury.606

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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”).607 Treasury initially
obligated $4.3 billion in TARP funds to purchase and manage loan collateral from
any TALF loans that defaulted.608 As of February 6, 2013, all TARP funding for
TALF was either deobligated or repaid.609 Of the $71.1 billion in TALF loans, none
have defaulted and $82 million remained outstanding as of March 31, 2014.610
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.611 As of March 31, 2014, the entire PPIP portfolio had
been liquidated, and six PPIP funds were legally dissolved while the other two were
winding down operations.612
Through the UCSB loan support initiative, Treasury purchased $368.1 million
in 31 SBA 7(a) securities, which are securitized small-business loans.613 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.614

TALF
TALF, which was announced in November 2008, issued loans collateralized by
eligible ABS.615 According to FRBNY, TALF was “designed to increase credit
availability and support economic activity by facilitating renewed issuance of
consumer and business ABS.”616 TALF is divided into two parts:617
• 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.
Custodian Bank: Bank holding the
collateral and managing accounts for
FRBNY; for TALF the custodian is Bank
of New York Mellon.

The asset disposition facility, TALF LLC, is managed by FRBNY and remains
in operation until final TALF loans mature on March 11, 2015.618 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.619
TALF LLC’s funding originated from a fee charged to FRBNY for the
commitment to purchase any collateral surrendered by the borrowers. This fee was
derived from the principal balance of each outstanding TALF program loan.620 As
of March 31, 2014, $82 million in TALF loans was outstanding.621 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.622

Lending Program
TALF’s lending program made secured loans to eligible borrowers.623 The loans
were issued with terms of three or five years and were available for non-mortgagebacked ABS, newly issued CMBS, and legacy CMBS.624 The final maturity date of
loans in the TALF portfolio is March 11, 2015.625
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”).626
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.627 Newly issued CMBS had to be issued on or
after January 1, 2009, while legacy CMBS were issued before that date.628
Loan Terms

TALF participants were required to use a TALF agent to apply for a TALF loan.629
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.630 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.631 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.632
FRBNY lent each borrower the amount of the market price of the pledged
collateral minus the haircut, subject to certain limitations.633 The borrower
delivered the collateral to the custodian bank, which collected payments generated

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

by the collateral and distributed them to FRBNY (representing the borrower’s
payment of interest on the TALF loan).634 Any excess payments from the collateral
above the interest due and payable to FRBNY on the loan go to the TALF
borrower.635
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.636 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.637 As of
February 6, 2013, all TARP funding for TALF was either deobligated or repaid.638
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
March 31, 2014, $31.6 million was outstanding, all in student loans.639 Table 2.48

loan amount was used to purchase legacy CMBS, with 1% newly issued CMBS.640
As of March 31, 2014, $50.4 million was outstanding.641 Table 2.49 includes all

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 11, 2015.642 The outstanding
TALF loans consist of $50.4 million in loans collateralized by CMBS and $31.6
million in loans collateralized by student loans. The remaining $82 million worth of
TALF loans will mature by the final maturity date of March 11, 2015.643
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.644
As of March 31, 2014, $71 billion in TALF loans had been repaid. According to
FRBNY, the outstanding collateral on the remaining $82 million in TALF loans was
performing as expected.645

Asset Disposition Facility
When FRBNY created TALF LLC, TARP loaned the facility $100 million.646 As of
March 31, 2014, the $100 million had been repaid in full along with $13 million in
interest, according to Treasury.647 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%).648 As of March
31, 2014, Treasury had received $576.6 million in additional gains and FRBNY
had received $64.1 million.649

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 March 31, 2014, TALF LLC had assets of $105 million, which consisted of
interest and other income and fees earned from permitted investments.650 From
its February 4, 2009, formation through March 31, 2014, TALF LLC had spent
approximately $3.2 million on administration.651
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, 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.652

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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”).653 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.”654
Treasury selected nine fund management firms to establish PPIFs. One PPIP
manager, TCW, subsequently withdrew. As of March 31, 2014, the entire PPIP
portfolio had been liquidated, and six PPIP funds were legally dissolved while
the other two were winding down operations. Private investors and Treasury coinvested 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.655 Each PPIF was approximately 75% TARP
funded.
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.656
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
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
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.

of PPIP managers, see SIGTARP’s

that secure the non-agency RMBS and CMBS); and purchased from financial
institutions eligible for TARP participation.657

PPIP Process
Funds chosen to participate in PPIP raised private capital, which Treasury
matched on a three to one basis (one part equity and two parts debt) up to a
preset maximum set by Treasury. 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.658 After obtaining the funds, PPIP
managers were required to provide monthly portfolio reports to Treasury and other
investors.659
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 2.50 shows equity
and debt committed by Treasury for the eight PPIFs that actively participated in
the program.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF 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.660 During that investment period, the program sought
to maintain “predominantly a long-term buy and hold strategy.”661 The investment
periods for all PPIFs expired in 2012.662
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.663
However, by June 30, 2013, all PPIP managers had liquidated their portfolios.
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.664 The
last fund’s investment period ended in December 2012.665 Treasury also disbursed
$356.3 million to TCW, which TCW fully repaid in early 2010 when it withdrew
from the program.666
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.667 All unused
TARP debt financing has been deobligated by Treasury.668 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.669 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 March 31, 2014.
The PPIP managers wound down their portfolios as follows:
• In June 2013, Oaktree liquidated its remaining PPIP investments.670 According
to Treasury, Oaktree fully repaid Treasury’s equity investment of $555.9 million
and Treasury debt of $1.1 billion, with interest. On December 31, 2013,
Oaktree filed a formal certificate with the state of Delaware declaring that its
PPIF had been dissolved.671
• In June 2013, Marathon liquidated its remaining PPIP investments.672

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 2.43 breaks down CMBS

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:692
• 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.693

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

• 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.694
• 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.

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.696 Under the governing agreement, EARNEST Partners, on behalf of Treasury, purchased SBA pool certificates
from Coastal Securities and Shay Financial without confirming to the counterparties that Treasury was the buyer.697 From March 19, 2010, to September 28, 2010,
Treasury purchased 31 floating-rate 7(a) securities from Coastal Securities and
Shay Financial for a total of approximately $368.1 million.698
In a series of sales from June 2011 through January 2012, Treasury sold all its
SBA 7(a) securities, for total proceeds of $334.9 million, ending the program.699
According to Treasury, over the life of the program Treasury also had received
$29 million and $13.3 million in amortizing principal and interest payments,
respectively.700

CHALLENGES

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

INTRODUCTIONi

TARP’s Capital Purchase Program bailout of 707 banks is well known, but there
is a lesser known TARP bailout of 36 small banks and 48 credit unions called the
Community Development Capital Initiative (“CDCI”) that will likely continue
until at least 2018. Although the program itself is much smaller than CPP and
the participating institutions are small, they play a vital role in serving low-income
communities not traditionally served by larger institutions. In February 2010,
in a release announcing “New Efforts to Improve Access to Credit for Small
Businesses,” the Administration announced that CDCI would support “small
business lending in the hardest-hit rural and urban communities by making lowcost capital available.” The announcement stated that CDCI and the non-TARP
Small Business Lending Fund were new measures as “part of an ongoing effort to
help small businesses access credit and create jobs.” This report is designed to raise
awareness of the challenges that these banks and credit unions face and the need
for careful oversight by Treasury, which oversees CDCI and taxpayer investments in
these companies.
The financial stability of CDCI banks and credit unions must be an ongoing
concern to Treasury as a long-term investment in the financial recovery of small
businesses in underserved communities. Treasury’s oversight over the financial
stability of CDCI institutions cannot solely be viewed as ending at the time it
made TARP investments, because it made those investments with a specific and
important goal that must be measured and met to help small businesses. Treasury’s
Office of Financial Stability that administers TARP should keep careful watch
over the financial stability of these institutions the entire time they are in TARP so
that these institutions can lend to small businesses while getting themselves in a
position to repay TARP. Treasury needs to conduct adequate oversight over these
institutions to ensure that the purpose of the program, to increase small business
lending in hard hit communities, is met, and to work with CDCI institutions and
their regulators to ensure that eventually they will be able to stand on their own,
financially stable, without taxpayer assistance.
Although announced as a separate TARP program, Treasury allowed banks
already in TARP’s CPP to apply for CDCI funds with the idea that these banks
would promote small business lending in their communities. Treasury made
the decision in 2010 that 81% of the $570.1 million in TARP money for CDCI
would go to 28 banks already in TARP’s CPP and the great majority of those
funds ($363.3 million) would be used to convert the CPP obligation to a CDCI
obligation. These 28 TARP banks in CPP that converted to CDCI got two
significant benefits. First, they got TARP funds at a cheaper cost because the
dividend they pay to Treasury decreased from 5% to 2%. Second, they got to keep
that low dividend for eight years (2018), rather than for the five-year term in CPP
(2014-2015). Only $106 million of the $570.1 million invested by CDCI went to
i The Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“SIGTARP”) is issuing this report under the

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. The report is based on SIGTARP internal information. It is not an audit or evaluation under the
Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended.

249

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

institutions that were not already in TARP.701 Because these banks received a great
benefit from converting to CDCI, and Treasury agreed to accept less in dividend
payments, it is vitally important that Treasury ensure that these institutions earn
those benefits by meeting the goal of the program to promote small business
lending in their communities. Otherwise, taxpayers will have been paid less in
dividend payments, with little benefit.
Unlike the smaller banks in CPP that have already faced or will soon face the
dividend increase and are scrambling to raise capital or debt to repay TARP or face
Treasury auctioning their shares, the banks and credit unions in CDCI could be
in TARP for many years to come. Whereas in CPP the TARP dividend rate began
increasing to 9% after five years (beginning in 2014 for many banks), putting
pressure on banks to repay TARP, the dividend rate for CDCI banks and credit
unions does not rise to 9% until 2018.
Only 14 CDCI institutions have been able to repay TARP and an additional
bank exited the program via bankruptcy. The 69 banks and credit unions remaining
in CDCI as of March 31, 2014, continue to face challenges that could impact
their financial stability, ability to lend to small businesses in their communities,
and their ability to repay TARP. Community banks continue to have difficulty in
gaining access to capital. Credit unions have experienced a rise in non-performing
loans, which impacts their balance sheet and capital. Eight of the remaining CDCI
institutions have current enforcement actions by their Federal banking regulator.702
Moreover, many of the CDCI institutions are in economically hard-hit areas
around the country that are still struggling to recover from the crisis.
Because of these challenges, it is especially important that Treasury keeps a
watchful eye on taxpayer investments in CDCI institutions. These small banks
and credit unions do not disclose the same amount of information about their
health and performance as larger banks. However, Treasury and the public have
a tool designed to provide some transparency on the financial stability of these
institutions. In December 2008, SIGTARP recommended that Treasury require
TARP recipients to report quarterly on their use of TARP funds. While Treasury
did not require CPP banks to comply with this requirement, in 2010 they began
sending annual surveys to CPP banks asking for voluntary responses, and they
required annual reporting for CDCI participants. Never once has Treasury received
100% compliance. In other words, never in the history of the program have all the
banks and credit unions in CDCI complied with the mandatory requirement to
report on how they used the TARP funds. Eight banks and credit unions in CDCI
have never told Treasury how they used TARP funds, despite being required to do
so in the contract they signed to get the TARP money. Worse yet is that Treasury
does not enforce its contract, a fact which does not go unnoticed by the CDCI
institutions. The number of survey responses that CDCI institutions actually
submitted to Treasury has decreased dramatically; from 83% reporting in 2010,
to 74% in 2011, and only 33% in 2012.703 As a result, Treasury and the public do
not know what these TARP funds were actually used for, or have access to other
information requested in the surveys that could provide insight into the financial
stability of these institutions.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Treasury also has access to another key piece of information that would shed
light on the financial stability of CDCI institutions, which is whether those
institutions are paying timely dividend payments to Treasury and the reason why
delinquent institutions missed dividend payments. Given the low 2% dividend
rate, missed dividends can provide important insight into a bank or credit union’s
health. This is particularly true if the institution misses five payments to Treasury,
which would trigger Treasury’s policy of sending observers to board meetings of
the institutions, or eight payments which triggers Treasury’s right to appoint two
directors to the board. Attendance at the board meetings can provide a wealth of
information to Treasury on the financial stability of the CDCI institution, which
impacts their ability to meet the program’s goals, their ability to pay dividends, and
their ability to repay TARP. However, Treasury did not request to send an observer
to one CDCI bank that had missed six payments. That bank later failed. Treasury
has failed to appoint directors to the board of one CDCI institution that had
converted from CPP and has missed 12 dividend payments. SIGTARP previously
recommended that Treasury enforce this important right that could help provide
independent and experienced board members who could provide effective internal
oversight and help detect any potential mismanagement or fraud.704

CDCI INSTITUTIONS FACE CHALLENGES THAT
COULD IMPACT THEIR FINANCIAL STABILITY,
ABILITY TO LEND TO SMALL BUSINESSES, AND
ABILITY TO REPAY TARP
Limited Access to Capital
CDCI provided capital to smaller community banks that had limited access
to capital through other means. Banks with assets under $1.5 billion do not
have access to capital from private equity firms, mutual funds, foundations,
and other institutional investors. “Capital offerings for less than $20 million to
$30 million are often too small for many institutional investors regardless of
structure or investment thesis. Institutional investors have fixed costs to cover
and deal size minimums. They simply cannot monitor an unlimited number of
small investments, no matter how promising,” according to a white paper by the
Conference of State Bank Supervisors.705 Institutional investors also want a bank to
have a business plan that allows the investors to eventually realize gains through a
stock offering or by selling the bank to a larger institution.
Capital is a measure of a bank’s health and strength. Capital is necessary to
build stronger balance sheets and absorb unexpected losses. CDCI institutions at
the same time are expected to provide small businesses in their communities with
access to capital. Small banks in CPP continue to experience problems with access

251

to capital, which has become a challenge to their ability to repay TARP. CDCI
institutions may face the same challenge.

Rise of Non-Performing Loans at Credit Unions
Credit unions, including CDCI participants, experienced slow to no loan growth
between 2009 and 2011, but saw loan delinquencies and loan charge-offs
increase.706 Pre-crisis, in 2006, 0.68% of credit union loans were more than 60
days past due.707 By 2008 loan delinquency rates more than doubled to 1.37% and
were even higher the following year at 1.82%.708 In 2011, the rate of delinquencies
started to decrease slowly to 1.75%.709 In 2012, loan delinquency rates dropped to
1.15%, but are still nowhere near the pre-financial crisis rate of 0.68%.710 Similarly,
net loan charge-offs in 2006 accounted for 0.45% of credit union loans, and that
number grew almost three-fold to 1.21% by 2009.711 As of 2012, the net charge off
rate was at 0.73%, which was nearly double the 2006 rate.712

Regulatory Orders
Eight of the remaining 69 CDCI institutions (12%) have current enforcement
actions by their Federal banking regulator.713 The enforcement actions include
sanctions against personnel, formal agreements and consent orders, and sanctions
due to Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) violations. Four of those
enforcement actions, including sanctions against personnel for two institutions,
were issued after the institutions had received TARP funds through CDCI.714

Hardest Hit Communities
The CDCI recipients were specifically chosen because the communities they
serve are the hardest hit rural and urban communities. This continues to present
challenges as many of those communities, including states such as Mississippi,
California, Illinois, Louisiana, and New York have not yet recovered. The largest
concentration of CDCI outstanding funds, by far, is in the Southeast with $290
million outstanding. The Mid-Atlantic/Northeast region and the Southeast
continue to have the largest number of remaining CDCI institutions, 21 and 19
remaining respectively. Ten CDCI institutions are in one state – Mississippi.715 The
West and Mid-Atlantic/Northeast regions have a considerably larger number of
CDCI credit unions than CDCI banks; 11 of the 13 remaining institutions in the
West and 16 of the 21 remaining institutions in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast region
are credit unions.716 The opposite is true in the Southeast, where 16 of the 19
remaining CDCI institutions are banks.717 Tables 3.1 through 3.7 show banks and
credit unions remaining in CDCI by region and state as of March 31, 2014.

CDCI Recipients Need New Capital and Financial Stability to
Exit TARP
Community banks and credit unions in CDCI provide a financial lifeline to
underserved communities. Both Treasury and taxpayers have an interest in
ensuring that CDCI institutions remain financially stable so that they can help
their communities recover by loaning funds to small businesses, and eventually be
strong enough to repay TARP. Given the challenges these banks and credit unions
face, there is a need for careful oversight by Treasury over the financial stability
of the institutions to ensure that the purpose of the CDCI program, to promote
small business lending, continues to be met and to increase the likelihood that
taxpayers are repaid in full. Treasury’s oversight over the financial stability of these
institutions cannot solely be viewed in the past, as a one-time capital investment.
Treasury’s TARP investments in CDCI banks and credit unions were long-term
investments in the financial recovery of underserved communities. In addition,
to exit TARP, banks must obtain the approval of their primary Federal banking
regulator, which determines if an institution is strong enough to maintain adequate
capitalization after repaying TARP. Fourteen institutions in CDCI have repaid
TARP and one bank has exited the program as a result of bankruptcy as of March
31, 2014. Treasury must maintain careful oversight over the financial stability of
the remaining CDCI recipients the entire time they are in TARP so that these
banks and credit unions can lend to small businesses while getting themselves in a
position to repay TARP and be financially stable without taxpayer assistance.

BANKS AND CREDIT UNIONS IN CDCI ARE NOT
REPORTING ON THEIR USE OF TARP FUNDS,
WHICH HINDERS TRANSPARENCY, OVERSIGHT
AND TREASURY’S ABILITY TO JUDGE WHETHER,
THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM ARE BEING MET

Because of the challenges CDCI institutions face, it is especially important that
Treasury keep a watchful eye on taxpayer investments in CDCI institutions. Small
banks and credit unions do not disclose the same amount of information about
their health and performance as larger banks. However, Treasury has an important
source of information about the financial stability of CDCI institutions in the
TARP requirement that these institutions respond annually to a Treasury survey
on the use of TARP funds. However, many CDCI institutions have not complied
with this requirement, refusing to provide transparency. Treasury has not enforced
the disclosure, thereby losing an important tool to gain information on the CDCI
institutions.
Because Treasury did not put limitations in its TARP contracts with institutions
on how they could use TARP funds, one of the first recommendations that

257

258

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

SIGTARP made to Treasury was that Treasury require all TARP recipients to report
on the actual use of TARP funds they received. As a result, when Treasury invested
TARP dollars in institutions, it was entirely unclear what was done with the TARP
money. TARP agreements generally did not require recipients to report or even
to track internally the use of TARP funds, which posed two significant problems.
First, it does not provide necessary basic transparency. It is not unreasonable to
expect that American taxpayers, who were asked to fund the unprecedented bailout,
and their representatives in Congress have some understanding as to how the
recipients used the TARP funds. Second, the lack of transparency affects oversight
because Treasury and SIGTARP cannot assess the effectiveness of TARP programs
over time and are hindered in the ability to oversee certain recipients’ compliance
with conditions of the TARP agreement. At the time of SIGTARP’s December 2008
recommendation, Treasury refused to adopt SIGTARP’s recommendation and did
not believe that “requiring reports as to how the specific funds were spent would be
meaningful, since it could never be said with certainty that particular funds were
used for a particular purpose.”
In February 2009, SIGTARP itself sent a survey to 360 TARP recipient banks
in CPP (CDCI did not yet exist), asking them to report on their anticipated and
actual use of TARP funds, a survey that had a 100% response rate. Every CPP
bank responded to SIGTARP’s survey and SIGTARP found that despite Treasury’s
argument that money is fungible, TARP banks were able to provide meaningful
information on their use of TARP funds. Notably, 80% of the banks cited that they
used the funds for lending, 40% reported that some of the TARP funds were used
to maintain capital cushions, and some banks reported repaying outstanding loans,
investing in mortgage-backed securities, or buying other banks. SIGTARP followed
with another survey for the automotive companies bailed out by TARP and for AIG.
SIGTARP posted every survey response on its website.
One year after SIGTARP’s recommendation, in December 2009, Treasury
finally agreed to act on SIGTARP’s recommendation to require CPP recipients to
report on the use of TARP funds. However, Treasury made compliance voluntary
for CPP recipients. On March 11, 2010, following Treasury’s February 3, 2010,
announcement of CDCI, SIGTARP made a related recommendation for CDCI.
SIGTARP then recommended that Treasury require quarterly reporting on the
use of TARP funds for CDCI participants, rather than annual reporting, to more
effectively emphasize the purpose of the program. Treasury rejected quarterly
reporting, but did include a requirement in CDCI contracts that the recipient
annually report on the use of their TARP funds and the effects of the TARP capital
on the operations and status of the TARP recipient.
Never in the history of the CDCI program have all 84 CDCI banks and credit
unions complied with the contractual requirement to report annually to Treasury
on their use of funds. Treasury, in other words, has never had a 100% response
rate, even though SIGTARP was able to obtain a 100% response rate from 360
CPP institutions in 2009. Moreover eight banks and credit unions in CDCI have
never told Treasury how they used TARP funds, despite being required to do so in

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

the contract they signed to get the TARP money. Table 3.8 lists the names of these
institutions and the amount of TARP funds they received.

Despite this red flag, surprisingly Treasury has failed to enforce its contract and
the requirement that all CDCI banks and credit unions report on their use of TARP
funds, which likely has contributed to less and less compliance each year. Eight
institutions have never responded to the survey. While 59 institutions have failed
to respond to the survey at least once, 25 of those have failed to respond for two of
the three years. The number of CDCI institutions that have met this contractual
requirement of reporting annual use of TARP funds has decreased dramatically
from year to year. For the year 2010 survey, 14 of the 84 CDCI recipients failed
to report to Treasury on their use of TARP funds.718 For 2011, 22 of the 84 CDCI
recipients failed to report to Treasury on their use of TARP funds.719 For 2012,
the most recent annual data available, 67% (56) of the 84 recipients that had
outstanding TARP funds at any point during that year failed to report to Treasury
on their use of TARP funds.720
Simply put, the American people have a right to know how tax dollars are
being spent. Without reporting on the use of TARP funds, Treasury, SIGTARP,
and taxpayers are left in the dark, deprived of the transparency required by the
terms of CDCI participation. Requiring institutions to report on their use of TARP
funds is fundamental to making TARP transparent to the public. In addition,
Treasury does not have access to important information that could provide
insight into the financial stability of these TARP institutions. Prior disclosures by
CDCI banks and credit unions shed light on TARP fund use and have provided
important information related to charge-offs, capital, new investments, and other
performance measures.
The annual use of funds surveys are also a source by which Treasury can gauge
whether the CDCI program is meeting its goals. It is critical to the oversight of
CDCI that Treasury is aware of how these institutions are using TARP funds and
whether the funds are being used to best promote the long-term financial stability

259

260

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

of these institutions and to support small businesses in the communities they serve.
The White House announcement of CDCI entitled “President Obama Announces
New Efforts to Improve Access to Credit for Small Businesses” stated that CDCI
was a program to support small business lending. However, Treasury, when it gave
the funds, did not require CDCI institutions to lend the TARP funds to small
businesses. Even though Treasury did not restrict the use of TARP funds, it can
use the results of the surveys to determine whether the goal of supporting small
business lending has been met. However, in its survey to CDCI recipients, Treasury
does not even ask about small business lending, instead asking about lending in
general. To qualify for CDCI, an institution must have been certified by Treasury
that at least 60% of its lending and other economic development activities are
to underserved areas. However, Treasury should not assume that any increase in
lending went to small businesses. Therefore, it is unclear how Treasury measures
whether CDCI recipients actually increased small business lending.
SIGTARP’s review of the CDCI survey responses showed that while
approximately two-thirds of the banks responded that they either increased lending
in general or did not decrease lending as much as they would have without the
TARP funds, nearly one-third (29%) of the banks/credit unions in CDCI either
answered “no”, left blank the lending question, or ignored Treasury’s survey.
This included banks that were initially in CPP and converted to CDCI, thereby
obtaining the benefit of an immediate reduction in their dividend payment rate
from 5% to 2% and the ability to keep that low 2% rate for eight years rather than
five years. If those institutions did not use the funds to increase small business
lending, then it is unclear what they did to earn the benefit of that dividend rate
reduction.
Treasury’s ability to gauge the effectiveness of the CDCI program is hindered
without information from those CDCI institutions that ignored Treasury’s survey.
Moreover, it is unclear whether Treasury finds it acceptable to have nearly onethird of the CDCI recipients not reporting any increase in lending in general (or at
least no decrease in lending). One of these CDCI participants for example, Carter
Federal Credit Union in Louisiana, which received $6.3 million in TARP funding,
reported no increase in lending, instead reporting, “the CDCI program allowed us
to continue offering worthwhile dividends on our members’ share accounts without
having to worry that additional asset growth might drag our Net Worth ratio below
the 7.00% threshold.”
TARP recipients’ reporting on how they used TARP funds also helps identify
potential fraud and wrong doing. SIGTARP could use information included in
the use of funds surveys in criminal investigations. In one public example, after a
SIGTARP investigation, Darryl Lane Woods, the former Chairman and President
of Calvert Financial Corporation, was convicted for misleading SIGTARP in its
February 2009 survey about his bank’s use of TARP funds. In January 2009, the
bank received $1,037,000 though CPP. SIGTARP was able to uncover that the
bank used $381,487 of TARP funds, days after receiving them, to purchase a
luxury seaside condominium in Fort Myers, Florida. Because Treasury had not
included any restrictions on the use of TARP funds in the contract, this use of

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

TARP funds was not prohibited. However, one week later, Woods signed a letter
responding to SIGTARP’s “use of funds” survey failing to disclose the purchase of
the condominium. As part of his plea agreement, Woods admitted that he failed to
disclose to SIGTARP that a significant portion of TARP funds had been used to
purchase the condominium.

CDCI INSTITUTIONS THAT MISSED TARP
DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST PAYMENTS

Treasury also has access to another piece of information that would shed some
light on the financial stability of CDCI institutions, which is whether those
institutions are paying timely dividend payments to Treasury, and if not, the reason
why payments were missed.721,ii Given that a 2% dividend rate (some pay 3.1%) is
very low, the fact that a bank or credit union missed paying the Treasury dividend
can provide important insight into their health. This is particularly true if multiple
payments are missed. As of March 31, 2014, two institutions had non-current
unpaid dividends or interest payments to Treasury totaling $200,300.722 Table 3.9
lists the institutions that have ever missed payments to Treasury and those that
were not current as of March 31, 2014.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

In its TARP contracts with CPP and CDCI recipients, Treasury created a
right to appoint up to two directors to the boards of those institutions that miss
a required number of quarterly dividend payments (six for CPP and eight for
CDCI). Treasury-appointed directors have value in their independence, and their
experience helps them provide effective internal oversight and a contribution to
CDCI institutions that face challenges with their condition, health, or existing
board. In addition, a Treasury-appointed director’s experience and expertise could
also help detect any potential mismanagement or fraud.
On September 30, 2013, SIGTARP expressed concern and recommended
to Treasury that Treasury enforce its important right to appoint directors to the
boards of CPP and CDCI institutions. For example, although PGB Holdings, Inc.
has missed more than eight TARP dividend payments, triggering Treasury’s right
to appoint up to two directors to its board, Treasury has not enforced that right.723
PGB was a CPP bank that got the benefit of reducing its CPP dividend rate from
5% to 2% when it converted to CDCI, but now it has missed 12 of those payments.
As explained in Section 5 of this report, Treasury has made some progress in
implementing SIGTARP’s recommendation for CPP banks. It should continue to
do so for CDCI recipients as well.
Treasury can also have a significant impact just by making it clear that it intends
to enforce these rights. Treasury’s policy is to have a Treasury employee observe
the board meetings of CDCI recipients that have missed five dividend payments.
Attendance at the board meetings can provide a wealth of information to Treasury
on the financial stability of the CDCI institutions. Treasury made a request to
send an observer to the board meetings of CDCI-participant First American
International Corp. in February 2013. The bank rejected Treasury’s request, but
subsequently paid the missing dividends.724 Treasury has only sent an observer to
the board meetings of one CDCI bank, First Vernon Bancshares Inc., and since
doing that, First Vernon paid the delinquent dividends. However, CDCI participant
Premier Bank failed on March 23, 2012. Despite the fact that at the time of its
failure Premier Bank had already missed six TARP dividend payments, Treasury
had not made a request to place a Treasury observer at its board meetings. Treasury
also never placed a Treasury official to observe PGB’s board meetings despite the
bank missing 12 Treasury dividend payments.

TARP OPERATIONS AND
ADMINISTRATION

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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.725 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.726 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 March 31, 2014, Treasury has obligated $408.9 million for TARP
administrative costs and $1.2 billion in programmatic operating expenditures for a
total of $1.6 billion since the beginning of TARP. Of that, $192.3 million has been
obligated in the year since March 31, 2013. According to Treasury, as of March 31,
2014, it had spent $357.7 million on TARP administrative costs and $1 billion on
programmatic operating expenditures, for a total of $1.4 billion since the beginning
of TARP. Of that, $221.2 million has been spent in the year since March 31,
2013.727
Much of the work on TARP is performed by private vendors rather than
Government employees. Treasury reported that as of March 31, 2014, it employs
38 career civil servants, 61 term appointees, and 22 reimbursable detailees, for a
total of 121 full-time employees.728 Between TARP’s inception in 2008 and March
31, 2014, Treasury had retained 156 private vendors — 21 financial agents and
135 contractors — to help administer TARP.729 According to Treasury, as of March
31, 2014, 57 private vendors were active — 10 financial agents and 47 contractors,
some with multiple contracts.730 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 December 31, 2013, together
they had about 555 people dedicated to working on their TARP contracts.731
According to Treasury, as of December 31, 2013, or March 31, 2014 — the latest
numbers available vary due to reporting cycles — at least another 186 people were
working on other active OFS contracts, including financial agent and legal services
contracts, for a total of approximately 741 private-sector employees working on
TARP.732
Table 4.1 provides a summary of the expenditures and obligations for TARP
administrative and programmatic operating costs through March 31, 2014. The
administrative costs are categorized as “personnel services” and “non-personnel
services.” Table 4.2 provides a summary of OFS service contracts, which include

costs to hire financial agents and contractors, and obligations through March 31,
2014, excluding costs and obligations related to personnel services, travel, and
transportation.

SIGTARP RECOMMENDATIONS

280

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

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
130 recommendations in its quarterly reports to Congress and its audit reports.
This section discusses developments with respect to SIGTARP’s recommendations
and, in the table at the end of this section, summarizes all of SIGTARP’s
recommendations and notes the extent of implementation.

ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING
HOMEOWNERS REDEFAULTING ON MODIFIED
MORTGAGES UNDER HAMP

SIGTARP is committed to ensuring TARP is efficient and effective. Indeed, this
is a critical function of an inspector general, along with the mission to prevent
fraud, waste, and abuse. SIGTARP has and continues to make recommendations
to Treasury concerning TARP for these reasons. For example, over the past year, we
raised concerns and made several recommendations to Treasury about the support
provided to homeowners through HAMP, TARP’s signature housing program.
Not all homeowners are getting the sustainable relief Treasury promised
through HAMP. Although, as of March 31, 2014, HAMP has helped more
than 900,967 homeowners avoid foreclosure through sustainable permanent
modifications, another 376,804 homeowners fell three months behind in their
payments, thereby redefaulting, and prematurely falling out of the program as a
result. SIGTARP remains concerned that the level of redefaults has increased at an
alarming rate, leaving those homeowners more at risk of foreclosure.
While Treasury has made progress in implementing SIGTARP’s April 2013
recommendation to analyze and determine the causes of HAMP redefaults,
homeowners in HAMP continue to struggle. In fact, since SIGTARP made that
recommendation, more than 80,000 homeowners have redefautled out of HAMP,
including 6,557 homeowners from the end of January 2014 to the end of February
2014.
SIGTARP is concerned that homeowners who redefault out of HAMP may not
receive the full benefits of HAMP support paid for taxpayers. The TARP funds that
Treasury uses for HAMP are actually spent as incentive payments that Treasury
makes to mortgage servicers, investors, and homeowners. For example, to reward
homeowners for maintaining good standing in a HAMP permanent modification,
Treasury pays a “Pay-for-Performance Success Payment” of $1,000 (or less, in
certain circumstances) on the anniversary of the time the homeowner entered into
that modification. Treasury also pays the mortgage servicer an identical payment of
$1,000 in TARP funds on that anniversary (for up to three years).

282

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

However, there is an imbalance between the amounts Treasury pays to servicers
and investors compared to homeowners. As of December 31, 2013, whereas
Treasury paid investors $3 billion and mortgage servicers $1.76 billion in TARP
funds, homeowners had received only approximately $1 billion in TARP funds as
incentive payments. In other words, of the $422.2 billion in TARP funds spent by
Treasury, only $1 billion went to homeowners. Additionally, although Treasury has
used TARP funds on several occasions to increase the amount of incentives paid
to servicers (doubling the amount) and investors (tripling the amount), it has never
increased homeowner HAMP incentives.
Moreover, the homeowner incentives in HAMP do not actually go directly or
immediately to homeowners themselves. Rather, Treasury makes those incentive
payments to the servicer, for the benefit of the homeowner, to be applied as a credit
to reduce the principal balance owed on the mortgage.
Although HAMP’s incentive-based payment structure was apparently designed
to help homeowners build equity faster, some struggling homeowners may not have
the luxury of time. Instead, they need more immediate action to avoid redefaulting
and losing their homes. HAMP’s incentives may not be immediately helping
homeowners with HAMP permanent modifications in the short term stay current
on their mortgage payments. In fact, as of March 31, 2014, taxpayers lost $1.2
billion in TARP funds paid to servicers and investors for the 376,804 homeowners
who later redefautled. In other words, in those instances, taxpayers’ HAMP money
enriched mortgage servicers and investors, without helping homeowners.
As Treasury continues to explore the reasons why homeowners are redefaulting
from HAMP, Treasury could provide more immediate relief to homeowners still
struggling to make ends meet. Specifically, Treasury should increase the amount
of incentive payments to homeowners and apply homeowners’ incentives to reduce
their out-of-pocket costs.
While some homeowners who received TARP assistance through HAMP
continue to struggle to stay in their homes, approximately 74% of the $22.7 billion
in TARP funds Treasury set aside to spend on HAMP sits unused and unspent.
Treasury should be equally willing to spend unused HAMP funds to increase the
incentive payment to homeowners, providing more direct and immediate relief to
try to curb redefaults. Treasury clearly has the resources to do so.
Additionally, Treasury could act now to try to curb redefaults by applying
the homeowner incentive to the mortgage payment rather than the outstanding
balance. As a result, Treasury could reduce homeowners’ out-of pocket costs in
the short term. That may give some homeowners much-needed breathing room to
remain current on their HAMP modification payments. Otherwise, the incentive
payment goes to reducing the principal balance and only benefits the homeowner
when the home is sold or refinanced, if foreclosure does not happen first.
To address the issue of redefaults by giving homeowners in HAMP additional
incentives to stay in HAMP, and to address the imbalance of HAMP incentive
payments, on April 7, 2014, SIGTARP recommended:

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

Treasury should increase the amount of the annual incentive payment paid
to each homeowner who remains in HAMP. Treasury should require the
mortgage servicer to apply the annual incentive payment earned by the
homeowner to reduce the amount of money that the homeowner must pay to
the servicer for the next month’s mortgage payment (or monthly payments if
the incentive exceeds the monthly mortgage payment), rather than to reduce
the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage.
SIGTARP looks forward to continuing its work with Treasury on implementing
SIGTARP’s crucial recommendations concerning redefaults. As Treasury
continues its review into the causes of redefaults, Treasury should, as SIGTARP
recommended, take action to address whether and how servicers’ conduct may
contribute to redefaults. For example, Treasury should permanently withhold,
reduce, and/or claw back incentive payments to servicers who fail to perform at
acceptable levels in HAMP.

UPDATE ON RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING
THE APPOINTING OF DIRECTORS TO THE BOARDS
OF CPP AND CDCI INSTITUTIONS

On September 30, 2013, SIGTARP expressed its concern to Treasury that Treasury
was not enforcing its contractual right to appoint directors to the boards of Capital
Purchase Program (“CPP”) and Community Development Capital Initiative
(“CDCI”) institutions. SIGTARP recommended that Treasury, instead, should
aggressively enforce its contractual right to appoint directors in order to protect
taxpayers’ TARP investments and to preserve the strength of these community
banks and their ability to make credit available to their communities. Additionally,
SIGTARP noted that Treasury-appointed directors could use their knowledge and
experience to prevent TARP dollars from being wasted, or even root out fraud.
Even though Treasury recognized the value of having Treasury-selected
directors at TARP banks that had missed multiple TARP dividend payments,
Treasury had rarely exercised and actually appeared to be abandoning its efforts
to enforce that right. In fact, at the time SIGTARP made its recommendation in
September 2013, only three then-remaining CPP banks had Treasury–appointed
directors and Treasury had not exercised its right to appoint a director nearly a year,
last doing so in December 2012. Overall, Treasury had only appointed directors
at 15 CPP banks, even though there had been at least 132 banks that had missed
enough dividend payments throughout the history of TARP to warrant a Treasuryappointed director.
As a result, SIGTARP issued three recommendations calling upon Treasury
to use this important tool to protect taxpayers’ long-term investments in TARP
banks by promoting the fiscal health of lenders and their ability to meet the credit
needs of our nation and local communities. Specifically, SIGTARP recommended

283

284

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

that Treasury: (1) enforce its right to appoint directors for CPP institutions that
have failed to pay six or more quarterly TARP dividend or interest payments; (2)
prioritize the appointing of directors to the board of CPP institutions that have
rejected Treasury’s requests to send officials to observe board meetings, that have
failed to pay a large number of TARP dividend payments or owe the largest amount
of delinquent TARP dividends, or that are 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 (and to use information learned by Treasury
observers in assisting prioritization of banks to which Treasury should appoint
directors); (3) enforce its right to appoint directors to CDCI institutions that have
failed to pay eight or more TARP quarterly dividend or interest payments.
After Treasury responded to SIGTARP, in an October 28, 2013 letter rejecting
SIGTARP’s recommendations, SIGTARP again emphasized the importance and
value of enforcing this right in SIGTARP’s January 29, 2014 Quarterly Report.
SIGTARP stressed that, despite Treasury’s focus on selling its investments in banks
in TARP banks, Treasury should act upon, rather than give up this important right.
Doing so would promote TARP’s and CPP’s goals of enabling lenders to meet
credit needs of our nation and local communities, ensuring local communities have
access to loans from TARP banks who support them.
Following SIGTARP’s repeated efforts, Treasury recently agreed with SIGTARP
and took encouraging steps towards implementing SIGTARP’s recommendation.
In February 2014, Treasury appointed two directors to Central Bancorp, Inc.
Additionally, in March 2014, Treasury requested that two TARP banks, Chambers
Bancshares and Farmers & Merchants, allow Treasury observers to attend board
meetings to monitor whether directors should be appointed to the boards of those
institutions as well. SIGTARP looks forward to continuing its work with Treasury
on implementing these important recommendations. Treasury should prioritize its
decisions to appoint directors, based on the goals of TARP and CPP, and in light
of issues that raise the most concern, especially considering banks that actually
rejected Treasury observers, as SIGTARP recommended. In addition, as SIGTARP
recommended, Treasury should also continue to consider appointing directors to
struggling CDCI institutions.

RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING EDUCATING
HOMEOWNERS ABOUT MORTGAGE MODIFICATION
FRAUD
SIGTARP has taken, and continues to take a 360 degree approach to combating
mortgage modification fraud that includes law enforcement, homeowner
education, and homeowner protection initiatives. Under that approach, SIGTARP
has uncovered, investigated, and assisted in the prosecution of criminals that
viewed HAMP as an opportunity to line their own pockets by taking advantage

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I APRIL 30, 2014

of unsuspecting homeowners who are seeking to apply to lower their mortgages
through HAMP. Nationwide, homeowners have lost millions of dollars and
many have been forced into foreclosure as a result of this predatory fraud. These
crimes also hurt the credibility of the Government and HAMP, possibly scaring
homeowners away from receiving real help through legitimate TARP programs.
For example, in some instances, we have found that some homeowner victims
erroneously believe they are actually communicating with Treasury representatives.
That is because some of these fraudsters are even more brazen and masquerade
as the Government, lurking behind logos or seals resembling Treasury’s seal or the
Making Home Affordable logo, or use the word HAMP in their website name to
deceive homeowners into believing their legitimacy.
SIGTARP learned from these criminal investigations that because the Internet
is generally the place where homeowners first look when seeking assistance with
their mortgage payment, this is exactly where they are most often targeted in
TARP-related rescue fraud scams. The Internet also allows fraudsters to increase
the size and scope of their scams, allowing them to shut down and start up again
quickly, and operate from anywhere, hurting victims all over the country.
Rather than being a weapon fraudsters use to cheat homeowners, the Internet,
especially Treasury’s HAMP-related websites, should serve as a tool to empower
Americans still struggling to stay in their homes. As co-chairs of the Rescue
Fraud Working Group of the President’s Financial Fraud Enforcement Task
Force, SIGTARP, Treasury, and the Department of Justice must stand together
to combat this type of rescue fraud. SIGTARP and Treasury have already worked
together to police the Internet for websites bearing the hallmarks of mortgage
modification fraud and also have worked to educate homeowners so that they can
arm themselves with legitimate information to avoid falling prey to these rescue
fraud scams. For example, SIGTARP and Treasury have provided information at
homeowner outreach events and in December 2011, as co-chairs of the Rescue
Fraud Working Group, collaborating with the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau, a member of the working group, SIGTARP and Treasury issued a
Consumer Fraud Alert listing the hallmarks of these horrific scams.
Recently, to continue our joint efforts to prevent these frauds, SIGTARP made
the following recommendation to Treasury:
To educate homeowners and help them avoid becoming victims to mortgage
modification fraud, Treasury should prominently display all of the information
containing in the Consumer Fraud Alert “Tips For Avoiding Mortgage
Modification Scams” created jointly by SIGTARP, Treasury and the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau on the home page of websites related to HAMP,
including Treasury’s TARP website and the “Making Home Affordable”
website along with simple and direct information on SIGTARP’s mission and
how to contact SIGTARP’s hotline if they suspect mortgage modification
fraud.
Prominently featuring the information in our joint Consumer Fraud Alert
on HAMP-related websites helps preserve the integrity of HAMP, protects

285

286

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

homeowners from this type of rescue fraud by putting them on alert, and serves as
a strong statement of Treasury’s commitment to combatting mortgage modification
fraud.
After discussing this recommendation with Treasury officials, Treasury added
a link to the Consumer Fraud Alert on the MHA website. Although we commend
Treasury’s efforts to implement SIGTARP’s recommendation in a timely manner,
the page containing the link is confusing because it lists four different tips to
avoid scams with a link to view additional tips. Given that SIGTARP and Treasury
worked together to develop the tips, it does not make sense that Treasury would
list different tips in the text and then link to the Consumer Fraud Alert. Treasury
should prominently display all of the information contained in the Consumer Fraud
Alert on these websites, to avoid causing additional confusion to homeowners.

Treasury should include language in new TARP agreements
to facilitate compliance and oversight. Specifically, SIGTARP
recommends that each program participant should (1)

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.

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

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

Treasury has adopted some programs
to assist underwater mortgages to
address concerns of negative equity
but has not addressed other factors
contained in this recommendation.

Although Treasury has increased its
reporting of servicer performance, it
has not identified goals for each metric
and measured performance against
those goals. Treasury has not set an
acceptable metric for redefaults.

Despite SIGTARP’s repeated
highlighting of this essential
transparency and effectiveness
measure, Treasury has refused to
disclose clear and relevant goals and

Treasury has agreed to work closely
with other Federal agencies that are
involved in TARP.

Treasury stated that it does not
anticipate taking a substantial
percentage ownership position in any
other financial institution pursuant to

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.

Treasury states that it has developed
guidance and provided that guidance
to the exceptional assistance
participants that were remaining in
TARP as of June 30, 2011. Treasury
has not addressed other factors
contained in this recommendation,
citing its belief that materiality should
be subject to a fact and circumstances
review.

Although Treasury largely continues
to rely on self-reporting, stating
that it only plans to conduct testing
where they have particular concerns
as to a TARP recipient’s compliance
procedures or testing results, it has
conducted independent testing of
compliance obligations during some
compliance reviews.

When Treasury considers whether to accept an existing CPP
participant into SBLF, because conditions for many of the
relevant institutions have changed dramatically since they
were approved for CPP, Treasury and the bank regulators
should conduct a new analysis of whether the applying
institution is sufficiently healthy and viable to warrant
participation in SBLF.

When Treasury conducts the new analysis of an institution’s
health and viability, the existing CPP preferred shares should
not be counted as part of the institution’s capital base.

Treasury should take steps to prevent institutions that are
refinancing into the SBLF from CPP from securing windfall
dividend reductions without any relevant increase in lending.

Treasury, as part of its due diligence concerning any
proposed restructuring, recapitalization, or sale of its CPP
investment to a third party, should provide to SIGTARP the
identity of the CPP institution and the details of the proposed
transaction.

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 also Recommendation
81 concerning this issue.

Treasury told SIGTARP that OFS has

should be prepared with OFS COTRs
and other staff involved in the review
of legal fee bills, and that the OFS
COTRs will begin reviewing invoices in
accordance with its new guidance for

also stated that it incorporated relevant
portions of its training on the new legal
fee bill review standards into written

into permanent modifications, the length of time it takes
to resolve escalated homeowner complaints, and the
percentage of required modification status reports that are

Treasury should establish benchmarks and goals for
acceptable program performance for all MHA servicers,
including the length of time it takes for trial modifications to
be converted into permanent modifications, the conversion
rate for trial modifications into permanent modifications,
the length of time it takes to resolve escalated homeowner
complaints, and the percentage of required modification
status reports that are missing.

Treasury should require that MHA servicer communications

terms of a homeowner’s modification application, trial or
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

Treasury told SIGTARP that it already
established benchmarks in this area,
including that trial periods should last
three to four months, and escalated
cases should be resolved in 30
days. If these are the benchmarks
for acceptable performance, many
servicers have missed the mark.
Also, Treasury has yet to establish
a benchmark for conversion rates
from trial modifications to permanent
modifications.

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

To continue to allow for effective compliance and

occupancy circumstances stated in the RMA have changed.

The Office of the Special Master should develop more

the Interim Final Rule principles of “appropriate allocation,”
“performance-based compensation,” and “comparable
structures and payments.”

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

(a) Treasury should require that servicers provide the
SIGTARP/CFPB/Treasury Joint Task Force Consumer Fraud
Alert to all HAMP-eligible borrowers as part of their monthly
mortgage statement until the expiration of the application
period for HAMP Tier 1 and 2.
(b) Treasury should undertake a sustained public service
campaign as soon as possible both to reach additional
borrowers who could potentially be helped by HAMP Tier 2
and to arm the public with complete, accurate information
about the program to avoid confusion and delay, and to
prevent fraud and abuse.

Given the expected increase in the volume of HAMP
applications due to the implementation of HAMP Tier 2,
Treasury should convene a summit of key stakeholders to
discuss program implementation and servicer ramp-up and
performance requirements so that the program roll-out is
efficient and effective.

To ensure servicer compliance with HAMP Tier 2 guidelines
and assess servicer performance,
(a) Treasury should include additional criteria in its servicer
compliance assessments that measure compliance with the
program guidelines and requirements of HAMP Tier 2.
(b) Treasury should develop and publish separate metrics

than three months.
(b) Treasury should require servicers to provide monthly

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, second lien 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 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.

Treasury has not implemented this
recommendation. The addition of a
risk premium reduces the number
of otherwise qualified homeowners
Treasury helps through HAMP. Treasury
should implement this recommendation
to increase assistance to struggling
homeowners.

Treasury has rejected this
recommendation. It is important that
Treasury change the status quo and
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. It is unacceptable to
delegate all of this responsibility to the
states.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

In order to protect taxpayers who invested TARP funds
into AIG to the fullest extent possible, Treasury and the
Federal Reserve should recommend to the Financial Stability
Oversight Council that AIG be designated as a systemically
important financial institution so that it receives the
strongest level of Federal regulation.

In order to fulfill Treasury’s responsibility to wind down its
TARP Capital Purchase Program investments in a way that
protects taxpayer interests, before allowing a TARP bank
to purchase Treasury’s TARP shares at a discount to the
TARP investment (for example as the successful bidder
at auction), Treasury should undertake an analysis, in
consultation with Federal banking regulators, to determine
that allowing the bank to redeem its TARP shares at a
discount to the TARP investment outweighs the risk that the
bank will not repay the full TARP investment. Treasury should
document that analysis and consultation.

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 has not agreed to implement
this important recommendation.

On July 8, 2013, the Financial Stability
Oversight Council unanimously voted
to designate AIG as systemically
important.

Neither Treasury nor the Federal
Reserve has agreed to implement this
recommendation despite Treasury
telling 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.”

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

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.

115

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 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.

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

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.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

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.

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.

directing them to other TARP housing programs.

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.

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.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

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 increase the amount of the annual incentive
payment paid to each homeowner who remains in HAMP.
Treasury should require the mortgage servicer to apply
the annual incentive payment earned by the homeowner
to reduce the amount of money that the homeowner must
pay to the servicer for the next month’s mortgage payment
(or monthly payments if the incentive exceeds the monthly
mortgage payment), rather than to reduce the outstanding
principal balance of the mortgage.

To educate homeowners and help them avoid becoming
victims to mortgage modification fraud, Treasury should
prominently display all of the information containing in
the Consumer Fraud Alert: “Tips For Avoiding Mortgage
Modification Scams” created jointly by SIGTARP, Treasury,
and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on the home
page of websites related to HAMP, including Treasury’s TARP
website and the “Making Home Affordable” website along
with simple and direct information on SIGTARP’s mission and
how to contact SIGTARP’s hotline if they suspect mortgage
modification fraud.

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.

APPENDIX A I GLOSSARY I APRIL 30, 2014

APPENDICES
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.
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.
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 satisfaction of the unpaid
mortgage balance.
Deobligations: An agency’s cancellation or downward
adjustment of previously incurred obligations.
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.
Equity: Investment that represents an ownership interest in
a business.
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.
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.
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.
Haircut: Difference between the value of the collateral and
the value of the loan (the loan value is less than the collateral
value).

GLOSSARY I APPENDIX A I APRIL 30, 2014

Illiquid Assets: Assets that cannot be quickly converted to
cash.
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”).
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.
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).
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.
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.
Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCP”): A type
of preferred share (ownership in a company that generally
entitles the owner of the shares to collect dividend payments)
that can be converted to common stock under certain
parameters at the discretion of the company — and must be
converted to common stock by a certain time.
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.

341

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.
Non-Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed 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.
Non-Recourse Loan: Secured loan in which the borrower is
relieved of the obligation to repay the loan upon surrendering
the collateral.
Obligations: Definite commitments that create a legal
liability for the Government to pay funds.
Pool Assemblers: Firms authorized to create and market
pools of SBA-guaranteed loans.
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.
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.
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 broker-dealers that own or invest at least $10
million in securities.
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.
SBA Pool Certificates: Ownership interest in a bond backed
by SBA-guaranteed loans.

342

APPENDIX A I GLOSSARY I APRIL 30, 2014

Senior Preferred Stock: Shares that give the stockholder
priority dividend and liquidation claims over junior preferred
and common stockholders.
Senior Subordinated Debentures: Debt instrument ranking
below senior debt but above equity with regard to investors’
claims on company assets or earnings.
Servicing Advances: If borrowers’ payments are not made
promptly and in full, mortgage 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.
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.
Skin in the Game: Equity stake in an investment; down
payment; the amount an investor can lose.
Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”): A legal entity, often offbalance-sheet, 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.
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.
Subordinated Debentures: Form of debt security that ranks
below other loans or securities with regard to claims on assets
or earnings.
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.
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.

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

Section
121(c)(A)

A description of
the categories of
troubled assets
purchased or
otherwise procured
by the Treasury
Secretary.

Treasury’s authority to make new financial commitments under TARP ended on October 3,
2010.

Section 2: “TARP
Overview”

Accordingly, the Secretary of the Treasury has not purchased or otherwise procured any
troubled assets under TARP since that date.
Below are program descriptions from Treasury’s website, www.treasury.gov/initiatives/
financial-stability/Pages/default.aspx, as of 7/11/2013, or as otherwise noted:
CPP: The Capital Purchase Program (CPP) was launched to stabilize the financial system
by providing capital to viable financial institutions of all sizes throughout the nation.
Without a viable banking system, lending to businesses and consumers could have frozen
and the financial crisis might have spiraled further out of control.
AIG (otherwise known as Systemically Significant Failing Institutions (“SSFI”): At the height
of the financial crisis in September 2008, American International Group (AIG) was on
the brink of failure. At the time, AIG was the largest provider of conventional insurance
in the world. Millions depended on it for their life savings and it had a huge presence
in many critical financial markets, including municipal bonds. AIG’s failure would have
been devastating to global financial markets and the stability of the broader economy.
Therefore, the Federal Reserve and Treasury acted to prevent AIG’s disorderly failure.
AGP: Under the Asset Guarantee Program (AGP), the government supported institutions
whose failure would have caused serious harm to the financial system and the broader
economy. It involved supporting the value of certain assets held by qualifying financial
institutions by agreeing to absorb a portion of losses on those assets. AGP was
conducted jointly by Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC and was used in
conjunction with other forms of exceptional assistance. … Two institutions received
assistance under the AGP - Bank of America and Citigroup.
TIP: The Targeted Investment Program (TIP) was created to help stabilize institutions
considered systemically significant, to prevent broader disruption of financial markets.
Under the TIP, Treasury purchased $20 billion in preferred stock from two institutions,
Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America.
TALF: The Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) is a joint program with the
Federal Reserve. The program was launched in March 2009 with the aim of helping to
restart the asset-backed securitization (ABS) markets that provide credit to consumers
and small businesses. … Under this program, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
made non-recourse loans to buyers of AAA-rated asset-backed securities to help stimulate
consumer and business lending. Treasury used TARP funds to provide credit support for
these loans.
PPIP: On March 23, 2009, Treasury announced the Legacy Securities Public-Private
Investment Program (PPIP), which was designed to support market functioning and
facilitate price discovery in the markets for legacy Commercial Mortgage-Backed
Securities (CMBS) and non-agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS).
CDCI: Treasury created the Community Development Capital Initiative (CDCI) on February
3, 2010 to help viable certified Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs)
and the communities they serve cope with effects of the financial crisis. Under this
program, CDFI banks, thrifts, and credit unions received investments of capital. Eighty-four
institutions received investments totaling approximately $570 million.

SBLF: Established by the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (the Act), the Small Business
Lending Fund (SBLF) is a dedicated fund designed to provide capital to qualified
community banks and community development loan funds (CDLFs) in order to encourage
small business lending. The purpose of the SBLF is to encourage Main Street banks and
small businesses to work together, help create jobs, and promote economic growth in
communities across the nation.
SBA 7(a) Securities Purchase Program (formerly known as UCSB): Treasury launched the
SBA 7(a) Securities Purchase Program to help unlock credit for small businesses. Under
this program, Treasury purchased securities backed by the government guaranteed
portion of SBA 7(a) small business loans and provided additional liquidity to the market in
order to increase overall small business lending.
AIFP: The Automotive Industry Financing Program (AIFP) was launched in December
2008 to prevent the uncontrolled liquidation of Chrysler and General Motors (GM) and the
collapse of the U.S. auto industry.
ASSP: The Automotive Supplier Support Program was created to ensure that auto
suppliers received compensation for their services and products, regardless of the
condition of the auto companies that purchase their products.a
AWCP: Treasury provided loans to protect warranties on new vehicles purchased from GM
and Chrysler during their restructuring periods.a
HAMP (a program under MHA): The Home Affordable Modification Program’s goal is to
offer homeowners who are at risk of foreclosure reduced monthly mortgage payments
that are affordable and sustainable over the long-term. HAMP was designed to help
families who are struggling to remain in their homes and show: documented financial
hardship and an ability to make their monthly mortgage payments after a modification.
HAMP is a voluntary program that supports servicers’ efforts to modify mortgages,
while protecting taxpayers’ interests. To protect taxpayers, MHA housing initiatives have
pay-for-success incentives. This means that funds are spent only when transactions are
completed and only as long as those contracts remain in place. Therefore, funds will be
disbursed over many years.

a
“On Treasury’s Books” includes amounts disbursed and still outstanding of $8.1 billion, plus write-offs, realized losses, and investments currently not collectible because of pending bankruptcies or
receiverships, totaling $33.2 billion. It does not include $11.7 billion in TARP dollars spent on housing programs. These programs are designed as Government subsidies, with no repayments to taxpayers
expected.
b
Program was initially announced as a $75 billion initiative funded through TARP. Treasury reduced the commitment from $50 billion to an obligation of $45.6 billion; therefore, including the $25 billion
estimated to be spent by the GSE’s, the total program amount is $70.6 billion.
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
Housing support programs were designed as a Government subsidy, with no repayment to taxpayers expected.
e
Includes $363.3 million in non-cash conversions from CPP to CDCI, which is not included in the total of $368.3 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.
f
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.
g
The $56.4 billion in reduced exposure and repayments for SSFI includes the cancellation of the series G capital facility. Does not include AIG investment proceeds from the sale of AIG stock that Treasury
received from the AIG credit facility trust in the January 2011 recapitalization.
h
Treasury deobligated $2 billion of an equity facility for AIG that was never drawn down.
i
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.
j
Treasury deobligated $2.1 billion of a Chrysler credit facility that was never drawn down.
k
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.
l
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.
m
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 March 31, 2014, except for Invesco.
n
Treasury reduced commitment from $15 billion to an obligation of $400 million.
o
The $5 billion reduction in exposure under AGP is not included in the expenditure total because this amount was not an actual cash outlay.
