Instructions for the Report of Changes in

Organizational Structure (FR Y-10)

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction


Use the FR Y-10 to report changes to the worldwide organizational structure of bank holding companies (BHCs), member banks, Edge and agreement corporations, and to the U.S. operations of foreign banking organizations (FBOs).1 Such changes include:

  • information about the Reporter itself;

  • acquisition of interests in BHCs, FBOs, banks organized under U.S. law;

  • acquisition of interests in nonbanking companies that are owned by BHCs and non-qualifying FBOs, and nonbanking companies conducting business in the United States that are owned by qualifying FBOs;

  • transfer, sale, or liquidation of such interests;

  • merger of companies;

  • internal reorganization;

  • commencement of new activities;

  • certain merchant banking or insurance company investments;

  • establishment in the United States of branches, agencies, and representative offices of FBOs and activities through managed non-U.S. branches;

  • opening, closing, or relocation of foreign branches of member banks, BHCs, or Edge or agreement corporations and of their foreign subsidiaries;

  • opening, acquisition, sale, closing or relocation of domestic branches of U.S. subsidiary depository institutions of top-tier BHCs, of unaffiliated state member banks, and of Edge and agreement corporations; and

  • changes to previously reported information.


Depending on the nature of reported changes in structure and activity information, it will not always be necessary to file all schedules. Blank schedules should be omitted.


The instructions are divided into the following sections:

  • General Instructions describing overall reporting requirements

  • Specific Instructions for completing the:

Merger Schedule

4(k) Schedule

Branch, Agency, and Representative Office

Foreign Branches of U.S. Banking Organizations Schedule

Domestic Branch Schedule

  • Glossary of terms used in these instructions

  • Appendices consisting of definitions of Federal Reserve Board Legal Authority Codes and of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Activity Codes for Commonly Reported Activities


Reporters are required to prepare and file this report in accordance with these instructions to reflect an accurate representation of their organizational structure.


If more than one transaction is reportable for a particular submission, multiple schedules should be submitted. Several supporting schedules may be included under one Cover Page.


Who Must Report


The following companies (termed Reporters for purposes of the FR Y-10) are required to file this report:

  • Top-tier BHCs (including Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) that are BHCs) organized under U.S. or foreign law that are not FBOs, regardless of financial holding company (FHC) status.

  • FBOs (both qualifying and nonqualifying) (see the Glossary), whether or not a BHC.

  • State member banks (SMBs) not controlled by a BHC or a FBO.

  • Edge and agreement corporations not controlled by a BHC, FBO, or member bank.

  • National banks not controlled by a BHC or FBO, but only with respect to their foreign branches, their investments made under Subpart A of Regulation K, and foreign branches of their foreign subsidiaries that are investments made under Subpart A of Regulation. K.

Tiered Organizations


In the case of a tiered BHC organization where one BHC that is not a FBO controls another BHC that is not a FBO, the top-tier BHC should file reports on behalf of all lower-tier BHCs.


The same procedure should be followed by tiered organizations consisting of nonqualifying FBOs.


In the case of a tiered FBO organization, where one qualifying FBO2 controls another qualifying FBO, the top-tier FBO may file on behalf of all lower-tier FBOs or the lower-tier FBOs may choose to file separately.


In the case where an FBO owns lower-tier FBOs and BHCs, the top-tier FBO may file on behalf of itself and any lower-tier FBOs. The top-tier U.S. BHC is responsible for filing for itself and all lower-tier BHCs.


What Events Must Be Reported


The following categories of events (termed Reportable Events for purposes of the FR Y-10 and these instructions) generally trigger the requirement to file an FR Y-10. Note that a single transaction by a Reporter may involve more than one reportable event:

  • New Reporters: Any event that causes a company to become a Reporter. See the Changes in Reporter Status part of these instructions for further explanation and reporting directions.

  • Interests in Banking Companies: Acquisition, sale, or transfer of a controlling interest in, or more than 5 percent of a class of voting securities of, an existing or new BHC, bank organized under U.S. law, or FBO (Banking Company for purposes of the FR Y-10); changes in the level or type of ownership interest in a Banking Company; cessation of business or liquidation of a Banking Company; changes in the principal activities of a Banking Company; and changes to information previously reported on Federal Reserve structure reports3 about a Banking Company. See the Banking Schedule part of these instructions for further explanation and reporting directions.

  • Interests in Nonbanking Companies: Acquisition, sale, or transfer of a controlling interest in an existing or new company other than a BHC, bank organized under U.S. law, or FBO (Nonbanking Company for purposes of the FR Y-10); changes in the level or type of ownership interest in a Nonbanking Company; cessation of business or liquidation of a Nonbanking Company; changes in the principal activities of a Nonbanking Company; and changes to information previously reported on Federal Reserve structure reports about a Nonbanking Company. See the Nonbanking Schedule part of these instructions for further explanation and reporting directions.

  • Mergers: A merger involving a Banking or Nonbanking Company in which the Reporter previously had reported an ownership interest on Federal Reserve structure reports. See the Merger Schedule part of these instructions for further explanation and reporting directions.

  • 4(k) Activities: Commencement by a Reporter that is a FHC of an activity it has not previously conducted, whether the result of acquisition of an existing Nonbanking Company, formation of a new Nonbanking Company, or commencement of a new activity by an existing company. See the 4(k) Schedule part of these instructions for further explanation and reporting directions.

  • Merchant Banking or Insurance Company Investments: Certain large merchant banking investments or insurance company investments. See the 4(k) Schedule part of these instructions for further explanation and reporting directions.

  • Branches, Agencies, and Representative Offices: The opening, closing (with or without license surrender), or liquidation of a branch, agency, or representative office located in the United States and the commencement or termination of the management by a U.S. branch or agency of a non-U.S. branch of a FBO; and any changes to information previously reported on Federal Reserve structure reports about such offices. See the Branch, Agency, and Representative Office of FBOs Schedule part of these instructions for further explanation and reporting directions.

  • Foreign Branches of U.S. Banking Organizations: The opening, closing, or relocation of foreign branches of unaffiliated member banks, BHCs, or Edge or agreement corporations, or of foreign subsidiaries of such organizations; and any changes to information previously reported on Federal Reserve structure reports about such offices. See the Foreign Branches of U.S. Banking Organizations Schedule of these instructions for further explanation and reporting directions.

  • Domestic Branches: The opening, purchase, acquisition, sale, closure, relocation, name change, change in service type, or deletion of erroneously reported information of domestic branches of domestic depository institutions (including thrifts) of top-tier BHCs, of unaffiliated state member banks and of Edge and agreement corporations; and any changes to information previously reported on Federal Reserve structure reports about such branches. See the Domestic Branch Schedule part of these instructions for further explanation and reporting directions. A top-tier BHC is responsible for filing branch information for its domestic subsidiary depository institutions’ U.S. offices. Also, unaffiliated state member banks and unaffiliated Edge and agreement corporations are responsible for filing for their offices.

  • Cessation of Status as a Reporter: Any event that terminates a company's status as a Reporter. See the Changes in Reporter Status part of these instructions for further explanation and reporting directions.


Changes in Reporter Status

The following are Reportable Events:

  • Becoming a Reporter: Any event that causes a company to become a Reporter. To report, a new Reporter (BHC, FBO, unaffiliated SMB or Edge or agreement corporation, or National Bank) must complete a Banking or Nonbanking Schedule for itself, and a Banking or Nonbanking Schedule for its subsidiary. If the Reporter was a going concern prior to becoming a Reporter, follow instructions for “Acquisition of a Going Concern.” If the Reporter is a new company, follow instructions for “De Novo Formation.”

In addition, a new Reporter must report interests in any companies that are going concerns at the time the Reporter becomes a Reporter and must report any activity engaged in by the Reporter under Section 4(k) of the BHC Act. Report an interest in a going concern as if the Reporter acquired the interest simultaneously with becoming a Reporter by completing a Banking Schedule or Nonbanking Schedule, as appropriate, following directions for "Acquisition of a Going Concern." Report activities engaged in under Section 4(k) as if commenced simultaneously with becoming a Reporter by completing a 4(k) Schedule, following directions for "Acquisition of a Going Concern Resulting in a New Activity."

A foreign bank that becomes a FBO (and thereby becomes a Reporter) due to the establishment of an initial U.S. branch or agency must also complete a Branch, Agency, and Representative Office of FBOs Schedule with respect to the branch or agency. Such a foreign bank becomes a Reporter when the initial branch or agency opens for business, not when the branch or agency is licensed.


If deemed warranted for supervisory purposes, the Federal Reserve may request an organization chart. Because FR Y-10 reporting requirements differ from the Annual Report of Bank Holding Companies - FR Y-6 and the Annual Report of Foreign Banking Organizations – FR Y-7 reporting requirements, the organization chart submitted with the FR Y-10 may be different from the organization chart submitted with the Reporter's FR Y-6 or FR Y-7 report.

  • Cessation of Status as a Reporter: Any event that terminates a company's status as a Reporter. If termination of Reporter status results from sale or liquidation of a Reporter or from the Reporter becoming inactive, complete a Banking Schedule or Nonbanking Schedule, as appropriate, with respect to the Reporter. Follow the instructions for reporting the event type "External Transfer," "Liquidation," or "Became Inactive", as appropriate, and also check the event type box next to "No Longer Reportable."


If termination of Reporter status results from sale or liquidation of a Reporter's U.S. subsidiary banks, commercial lending company, or Edge or agreement corporation, complete a Banking Schedule or Nonbanking Schedule, as appropriate, following the instructions for "External Transfer" or "Liquidation," as appropriate. In addition, submit a Banking Schedule or Nonbanking Schedule, as appropriate, with respect to the Reporter, but only check the event type box next to "No Longer Reportable," provide the date of the event, and provide the Reporter's legal name and location in items 2 and 3 of the Characteristics Section.


If termination of Reporter status results from sale or closure of a Reporter’s U.S. branch(es) or agency(s), complete a Branch, Agency, and Representative Office of FBOs Schedule. In addition, submit a Banking Schedule or Nonbanking Schedule, as appropriate, with respect to the Reporter, but only check the event type box next to “No Longer Reportable”, and provide the date of the event and the Reporter’s legal name and location in the Characteristics Section.

Where and When to File this Report

The appropriate Federal Reserve Bank (see the Glossary) must receive an original and one copy of this report within 30 calendar days after a reportable event. Earlier submission would aid the Federal Reserve in reviewing and processing the report.


As an alternative, the Reporter may file the FR Y-10 electronically. Respondents interested in filing electronically must contact the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank in order to obtain a User ID and password. To access the FR Y-10 Online website, use the following URL:


https://y10online.federalreserve.gov.


Note: Reports that contain a request for confidential treatment should not be submitted electronically.

Information on the CUSIP number of the Reporter (BHC or unaffiliated state member bank); a BHC’s lower-tier U.S. BHCs, subsidiary U.S. banks; or a Reporter’s largest subsidiary U.S. nonbanking company that has a currently active CUSIP number must be assessed only once a year as of December 31. Changes to this data must be reported on an event-generated basis within 30 calendar days of such changes.

Transactions Occurring Between January 1, 2008 and April 30, 2008


Beginning with the December 31, 2007, report date, the Federal Reserve will provide each FR Y-6 Reporter with a list of domestic branches of each domestic depository institution (including thrifts) and Edge and agreement corporations within the Reporter’s organization for verification. To ensure the records of the Federal Reserve are up-to-date for the period of time between the initial collection of branch listing information in the FR Y-6 report and the onset of the Domestic Branch Schedule, BHCs must report on any branch openings, purchases, acquisitions, sales, closings or relocations, changes to service type or popular name, or deletions of erroneously reported information occurring between January 1, 2008 and April 30, 2008, by May 30, 2008. All reportable events should be filed using the Domestic Branch schedule or a separate attachment. If a Reporter chooses to use an attachment to report on these events, it should contact the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank for further instructions on the format of the attachment.

Confidential Treatment


Once submitted, a FR Y-10 report becomes a Federal Reserve Board (Board) record and may be requested by any member of the public pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552. Under the FOIA, Board records generally must be disclosed unless they are determined to fall, in whole or in part, within the scope of one or more of the FOIA exemptions from disclosure. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(1)-(9).


The exempt categories include (but are not limited to) “trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential” (exemption 4), and information that, if disclosed, “would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy” (exemption 6). A Reporter may request confidential treatment for any information submitted on the FR Y-10 that the Reporter believes is exempt from disclosure under FOIA. The Reporter must follow the steps outlined immediately below, and certify on the completed and signed Cover Page to the FR Y-10 that these steps have been followed.


Reporters that seek confidential treatment for specific responses to the FR Y-10 must divide their report submission into two parts, filed simultaneously. The separately bound confidential volume should be accompanied by a cover page marked “confidential” and include only those report item responses for which confidential treatment is requested. The public volume should include responses to all of the report items. The responses to those items for which confidential treatment is requested should indicate that the responsive data may be found in the confidential volume. They also should clearly describe or visually indicate the amount of information for which confidential treatment is sought.


The Reporter also must submit a letter concurrent with submission of the two-part FR Y-10, identifying the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought, providing legal justification for the request, and describing the specific harm that would result from disclosure of the information. Unsupported or conclusory statements that disclosure will cause competitive harm or result in an invasion of privacy will be considered insufficient to support the request for confidential treatment.


Reporters must submit a request for confidential treatment at the time of filing this report even if they previously requested (and were or were not accorded) confidential treatment for the same information as previously provided to the Board.

Information for which confidential treatment is requested may be released subsequently by the Federal Reserve System if the Board of Governors determines

that the disclosure of such information is required by law or in the public interest. In general, Federal Reserve staff will notify the Reporter before releasing information for which confidential treatment has been requested. For further information on the procedures for requesting confidential treatment and the Board’s procedures for addressing such requests, consult the Board's Rules Regarding Availability of Information, 12 CFR part 261, including 12 CFR 261.15, which governs requests for confidential treatment.

Additional Information Requests


In some instances, the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank may request a Reporter to submit organization charts, narrative descriptions, or other information to supplement information provided on the FR Y-10. Provision of such information is not a substitute for a requirement to file a FR Y-10, but can aid in the understanding of significant acquisitions, mergers, reorganizations, or other transactions involving multiple reportable events. The Reporter must follow the steps outlined immediately above with respect to any additional information for which it seeks confidential treatment.

What Is the Legal Authority for the FR Y-10?

Submission of the FR Y-10 is required under authority of Sections 4(k) and 5(c)(1)(A) of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. §§ 1843(k), 1844(c)(1)(A)); Section 8(a) of the International Banking Act (12 U.S.C. § 3106(a)); Sections 9, 11(a)(1), 25(7), and 25A of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. §§ 248(a)(1), 321, 602, 611a, and 615; Section 211.13(c) of Regulation K (12 CFR 211.13(c)); ; and Sections 225.5(b) and 225.87 of Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.5(b) and 225.87).

Specific Instructions for the Banking Schedule (FR Y-10)

What to Report


Use this schedule to report the acquisition of interests in Banking Companies, and other transactions involving interests in Banking Companies.4 For purposes of the FR Y-10, a Banking Company is a Bank Holding Company (BHC), bank organized under U.S. law, or Foreign Banking Organization (FBO).5 To complete the Banking Schedule, check the appropriate event type box(es), provide the date of the reportable event(s), and complete other items on the schedule as directed in the following instructions.


Interests in Banking Companies

Initial Acquisition / Formation: Reporters are required to file the FR Y-10 reports for the following list of general reporting categories. A Reporter's initial acquisition of an interest in a Banking Company, including the formation of a top-tier BHC, is a reportable event if as a result of the acquisition, the Reporter directly or indirectly acquires control of the Banking Company, or directly or indirectly acquires control of more than 5 percent of a class of the Banking Company's voting shares. The acquisition of such an interest is reported either as an "Acquisition of a Going Concern" or as a "De Novo Formation." To determine whether a Reporter controls a Banking Company, apply the definition of “control” found in the Glossary.


Subsequent Events: Once a Reporter has acquired such an interest in a Banking Company, the following events become reportable:

  • Any subsequent sale or transfer of the interest in whole or in part, and most changes to the Reporter's level of ownership in a Banking Company;

  • The transfer of all or part of the interest to another subsidiary within the Reporter’s organization;

  • Liquidation of a Banking Company;

  • Any changes rendering the Reporter's interest in a Banking Company no longer reportable; and


  • Any change to information previously reported on this schedule.

Multiple Direct Holders: In the case of a reportable event in which a Reporter acquires an interest in a Banking Company through more than one direct holder, the Reporter must file a separate Banking Schedule for each direct holder.6 As long as the Reporter's interest in the Banking Company remains reportable, the Reporter must report any subsequent acquisition of any additional interest in the Banking Company by any additional direct holders.


Reporting Mergers: When a Banking Company is merged into a Reporter or a Reporter's subsidiary as part of the same transaction in which the Reporter acquires the Banking Company (i.e., the Banking Company no longer exists as a legal entity), the acquisition of that Banking Company should be reported on the Merger Schedule instead of the Banking Schedule.


Check box if correction: Check this box to indicate that previously reported information was filed incorrectly and has been corrected with the information provided.

Item l.a. - Event Type

Check the event type box(es) that best describes the event type being reported. Do not report events that occur on separate dates on the same schedule.


Acquisition of a Going Concern: Initial acquisition by a direct holder of an interest in a Banking Company that is a going concern. To report, check the event type box next to "Acquisition of a Going Concern," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, and complete all sections of the schedule. Subsequent acquisition by the same direct holder of additional shares or other additional interest in the Banking Company should be reported as a "Change in Ownership."


Note: If the acquired going concern has one or more subsidiaries, the Reporter must file a separate Banking or Nonbanking Schedule (as appropriate) for each subsidiary.


De Novo Formation: Opening for business of a new Banking Company in which a direct holder has an

interest. To report, check the event type box next to "De Novo Formation," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, and complete all sections of the schedule. An interest in a Banking Company is not reportable until the Banking Company opens for business.


External Transfer: Sale, divestiture, or other transfer of a direct holder's entire previously reported interest in a Banking Company to a company other than the Reporter or its subsidiaries. To report, check the event type box next to "External Transfer," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Banking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. In addition, in the Ownership Section, the Reporter should list the name and location of the former direct holder of the divested company in Item 15. Item 11 should be left blank.

Note: Report any partial external transfer of a previously reported interest in a Banking Company as a "Change in Ownership."


Internal Transfer: Sale or other transfer of a direct holder's entire previously reported interest in a Banking Company to the Reporter or to a different subsidiary of the Reporter. To report, check the event type box next to "Internal Transfer," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Banking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. In addition, in the Ownership Section, report the new direct holder's (the acquirer's) name and location in Item 11, and report the former direct holder's (the seller's) name and location in Item 15. If the event results in any change in legal authority, also report the new legal authority code in the Activity and Legal Authority Section.


Note: Report any partial internal transfer of a previously reported interest in a Banking Company by filing two Banking Schedules: one as a "Change in Ownership" by the transferring direct holder and one as an "Acquisition of a Going Concern" by the acquiring direct holder.


The transferring direct holder should report by following the directions for reporting a “Change in Ownership.” The acquiring direct holder need only report the date of the event in Item 1.b and the Banking Company’s legal name in Item 2.a, and complete the Ownership Section as appropriate, excluding Item 15. If the event results in any change in legal authority, also report the new legal authority code in the Activity and Legal Authority Section.

Change in Ownership: Report any of the following: an increase or decrease in a direct holder's ownership percentage of a class of voting shares of a Banking Company if the percentage changes by one point or more, after rounding; a change in the direct holder's status with respect to control of nonvoting shares of the Banking Company, control of any other ownership interest in the Banking Company, or control of the Banking Company; or a change in the Reporter's status with respect to control of the Banking Company. A direct holder's ownership percentage of a class of voting securities may change due to acquisition of additional shares, sale or transfer of some of the direct holder's shares, stock redemption, nonparticipation in a share issuance by the reportable bank, or other causes. To report, check the event type box next to "Change in Ownership," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Banking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. In addition, in the Ownership Section, complete Items 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 as appropriate, to reflect the Change in Ownership.


Liquidation: Liquidation of a Banking Company in which a direct holder previously had reported an interest. For purposes of the FR Y-10, liquidation refers to final distribution of assets, satisfaction of liabilities, and closing of capital accounts of a company, as opposed to sale or transfer of the company. Liquidation may result from voluntary dissolution or bankruptcy, and the liquidation process typically ends with termination of the company's legal existence. To report, check the event type boxes next to "No Longer Reportable" and "Liquidation," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Banking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section.


Note: A Reporter need not file a FR Y-10 if liquidating a company previously reported as "Became Inactive."

Change in Characteristics: Change of a Banking Company's legal name or address, or any other change to information previously reported. To report, check the event type box next to "Change in Characteristics" and report the date of the event in Item l.b. In addition, to report a name change, complete Items 2.a and 2.b, and for relocation, complete Items 3.a and 3.b. For any other change to this section, report the Banking Company's legal name in Item 2.a and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section, and report updated information for the appropriate items in the section.


Change in Activity or Legal Authority: Change in a Banking Company's previously reported primary or secondary activity, commencement of a secondary activity, termination of a previously reported activity, or change in the legal authority under which a previously reported activity is conducted. To report, check the event type box next to "Change in Activity or Legal Authority," report the date of the event in Item l.b, the Banking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and

location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. In addition, in the Activity and Legal Authority Section, report only the updated information.


No Longer Reportable: Any transaction that renders a Reporter's interest in a Banking Company no longer reportable. In general, once a Reporter acquires an interest in a Banking Company, the interest remains reportable so long as the Banking Company is actively engaged in business and: (1) the Reporter in the aggregate directly or indirectly controls more than 5 percent of any class of voting shares of the Banking Company or (2) the Reporter controls the Banking Company. To determine if the Reporter controls the Banking Company, apply definition of “control” found in the Glossary. To report, check the event type box next to "No Longer Reportable." In addition, check the event type box corresponding to the event type that rendered the interest no longer reportable and follow the instructions for reporting that event type. Event types that render an interest no longer reportable include "External Transfer," "Liquidation,” and “Became Inactive.” Event types that may render an interest no longer reportable include “Change in Ownership" and "Change in Activity or Legal Authority.,"


Note: If reporting a company, which has subsidiaries, as "No Longer Reportable", please report the disposition of each subsidiary. Typically the disposition of a company’s interest in a subsidiary may be reported as an “External Transfer,” “Internal Transfer,” “Liquidation,” or “Became Inactive,” as appropriate.

Became Inactive: Cessation of business by a company in which a direct holder previously had reported an interest. To report, check the event type boxes next to "No Longer Reportable" and "Became Inactive," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Banking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and the location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. If a Banking Company that is inactive subsequently becomes active and was not previously reported by the Reporter, report as a "De Novo Formation." However, if the Reporter had previously reported an interest in the Banking Company and it subsequently became inactive and then it was re-activated, report as a "Change in Activity or Legal Authority."


Debts Previously Contracted: For purposes of the FR Y-10, acquisition of shares in a BHC or U.S. bank to secure or collect a debt previously contracted is a reportable event, even if the Federal Reserve System's prior approval is not required. To report such an acquisition, check the event type box next to "Debts Previously Contracted" and also report as "Acquisition of a Going Concern" or "Change in Ownership," as appropriate.

Became Reportable: Any transaction that renders reportable a Reporter’s interest in a Banking Company that is already a going concern, but does not involve the Reporter’s initial acquisition of an interest in, or formation of, that Banking Company. To report, check the event type box next to “Became Reportable,” report the date of the event in Item 1.b, and complete all sections of the schedule.

Other: If none of the listed event types adequately describes the reportable event, check the box next to "If other, please describe,” and provide a text description in the space provided.

Item 1.b — Date of Event

Provide the date on which the reportable event took legal effect:

  • Acquisition of a Going Concern or full or partial sale or transfer: the date of consummation of the transaction, sometimes alternatively described as the date of closing;

  • De Novo Formation: the date on which the new Banking Company opened for business;

  • Liquidation: the date on which a Banking Company ceased engaging in business;

  • Became Inactive: the date on which a Banking Company ceased engaging in business;

  • Change in Characteristics: the date on which the name change, relocation, or other change became legally effective;

  • Change in Activity: the date on which a Banking Company commenced a new activity or terminated a previously reported activity; or

Item 5 — Fiscal Year End (FBOs and BHCs Only)

Provide the month and day of the FBO’s or BHC's fiscal year end. Leave blank if the Banking Company is neither a BHC nor a FBO.


Item 6 – SEC Reporting Status


Check the box corresponding to the Banking Company’s current SEC reporting status:


  • Not Applicable-

This box should be checked if the Banking Company is not subject to any of the other check box selections described for this item. For example: A De Novo bank that is not subject to sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act. of 1934.


  • Subject to 13(a) or 15(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 404 of SOX Act-

This box should be checked if the Banking Company meets the requirements to file annual and other periodic reports pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is also subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, regardless if the banking company has a delay in reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Note: Pursuant to section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Federal Reserve has delegated authority to act on behalf of the Securities and Exchange Commission to collect reports from unaffiliated state member banks. Therefore, unaffiliated state member banks should apply the same SEC reporting requirements pursuant to section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and should check this box if such periodic SEC reports are filed to the Board of Governors instead of the Securities and Exchange Commission.


  • Subject to 13(a) or 15(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but not Section 404 of SOX Act-

This box should be checked if the Banking Company is required to file annual and other periodic reports pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and not subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Do not check this box if the Banking Company has a delay in reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.


  • Terminated or Suspended reporting requirements under 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 -

This box should be checked if the Banking Company has terminated or suspended duties to file periodic reports under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for reasons specified by the SEC regulations.


Item 7 – CUSIP Number

The Reporter must report the most recently assigned and currently active six-digit CUSIP number for itself, its lower-tier U.S. BHCs and its subsidiary U.S. banks. State member banks not controlled by a BHC should report the CUSIP number for themselves.


A CUSIP number identifies most securities, including (1) stocks and debt (including subordinated issues) of all SEC-registered U.S. companies and (2) U.S. government and municipal bonds. The number consists of nine characters (a combination of letters and numbers) in which the first six digits uniquely identify an issuer. The first six digits (leading six digits) should be reported in the boxes on item 7.


The six-digit CUSIP number may change, for example when:

  • The last three digits of the nine-digit CUSIP number are not sufficient to accommodate all outstanding issues (greater than 999) and an additional issuer (six-digit) CUSIP number is assigned; or

  • Changes occur to the corporate name, whether or not associated with a merger or reorganization; or.

  • Reverse stock splits of corporate shares occur.


Note: A change in a CUSIP number is a reportable event on the FR Y-10 as a “Change in Characteristics.” Exclusions:


  • Do not report any CUSIP numbers associated with entities that are nonsurvivors of mergers. In the event of a merger, the nonsurvivor’s debt-related CUSIP numbers will remain in use until outstanding debt is paid off since the entity will still service the debt. However, no new issues will be made under the nonsurvivor’s CUSIP number. New debt instruments will be issued under the survivor’s CUSIP number. The nonsurvivor’s equity-related CUSIP numbers will be retired.


  • Do not report CUSIP numbers associated with securitization vehicles and issuers of trust preferred securities.


  • Do not report any CUSIP numbers associated with money market instruments7 such as certificates of deposit, medium-term notes,8 and commercial paper.


  • Do not report historical information on CUSIP numbers that existed prior to December 31, 2005.

Item 8 — Banking Company Type

Check the box corresponding to the type that most accurately describes the Banking Company:

  • U.S. Bank Holding Company (BHC),

  • Foreign Banking Organization (FBO),

  • U.S. Commercial Bank,

  • U.S. State Chartered Savings Bank, or

If none of the listed types adequately describes the Banking Company, check the box next to "If other, please describe," and provide a text description.


Item 9 — Business Organization Type

Check the appropriate box to indicate the legal organization type of the Banking Company. If none of the listed descriptions adequately describes the organization type, check the box next to "If other, please describe," and provide a text description.


Item 10 – Is the Banking Company

Consolidated in the reporter’s Financial

Statements? (only reportable for foreign investments)

Check “Yes” if the Banking Company is consolidated in any subsidiary domestic commercial bank’s Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031) within the reporter’s organization. Otherwise, check “No.”


Ownership Section

Item 11 — Direct Holder's Name and Location Provide the legal name, city, state/province, and country of the direct holder. If the Reporter holds the interest through more than one direct holder, complete a separate Banking Schedule for each direct holder. Leave this item blank if filed by a Reporter about itself or for event type "External Transfer."

Item 12.a —Percentage of a Class of Voting Shares

If the Reporter in the aggregate controls more than 5 percent of a class of the Banking Company's voting shares, report the percentage of such class controlled by the direct holder. If the Reporter in the aggregate controls more than 5 percent of more than one class of the Banking Company's voting shares, report the direct holder's percentage for the class in which the Reporter controls the highest percentage. If needed, see the instructions on page Banking – 1 (and accompanying footnote) of these instructions for further information on multiple classes of voting shares and multiple direct holders.

Determine the appropriate percentage by rounding the actual number down to the nearest whole percentage. For example, a percentage of 79.85 should be rounded down to 79.

Note: There are two exceptions to this rounding rule: when the percentage is greater than 50 but less than 51, report the percentage as 51, or if the percentage is greater than 0 but less than 1, report the percentage as 1.

In general, a direct holder is considered to control all shares that it has the power to vote, but not shares held in a fiduciary capacity. However, shares held by the direct holder as fiduciary are deemed controlled by the direct holder if the shares are held for the benefit of employees, shareholders, members, or affiliates of the Reporter or any subsidiary of the Reporter, or if the shares are of a BHC or bank organized under U.S. law and the Reporter has directly or indirectly had the sole power to vote the shares for more than 2 years. In addition, a security that is convertible into a voting security at a holder's option is deemed to be a share of the class into which it is convertible.


Interests in Partnerships or Limited Liability Companies: Report general partner interests in limited partnerships, managing member interests in limited liability companies, and partner interests in general partnerships and limited liability partnerships, by reporting the percentage as 0 in item 12.a, and completing Item 12.c Report limited

partner interests in limited partnerships, as well as nonmanaging member interests in limited liability companies, by completing Item 12.c but not Item 12.a.


Item 12.b —Percentage of Nonvoting Equity: Only if the Reporter has left Item 12.a blank because it does not control more than 5 percent of any class of the Banking Company's voting shares, report the percentage that, of the total nonvoting equity of the Banking Company, is controlled by the direct holder. Report the percentage rounded down to the nearest whole percentage. For example, a percentage of 61.75 should be reported as 61.

Note: There are two exceptions to this rounding rule: when the percentage is greater than 50 but less than 51, report the percentage as 51, or if the percentage is greater than 0 but less than 1, report the percentage as 1. Leave blank if the direct holder does not control any nonvoting shares.

Item 12.c — Other Interest

Only if the Reporter has left Items 12.a and 12.b blank (except as described above for certain interests in partnerships and limited liability companies), check the “Yes” box to indicate whether the direct holder has an ownership interest, other than voting or nonvoting shares, in the Banking Company. Such an interest may include exercise of control over the management of the Banking Company through a management agreement, or the direct holder's election of one or more directors of the Banking Company. Otherwise, check the “No” box.


Item 13 — Control by Direct Holder

Check the appropriate box to indicate whether the direct holder controls the Banking Company. To determine if the direct holder controls the Banking Company, apply the definition of “control” found in the Glossary.

Item 14 — Control by Reporter

Check the appropriate box to indicate whether the Reporter controls the Banking Company. To determine if the Reporter controls the Banking Company, apply the definition of “control” in the Glossary.

Item 15 — Former Direct Holder's Name and Location

Provide the name and location of the former direct holder, if the Event Type reported in Item l.a is an External or Internal Transfer.

Activity and Legal Authority Section

Item 16.a — Primary Activity

Report the activity that generated the largest percentage of the Banking Company's gross revenue during the Banking Company's most recently completed fiscal year. For a Banking Company that has been in operation for less than one year, report the activity that the Reporter expects will generate the largest percentage of the Banking Company's gross revenue during the Company's first fiscal year.



Item 16.b — Secondary Activity

For Banking Companies other than a bank, report the activity that generated the second largest percentage of the company's gross revenue as of the company's most recent fiscal year. For a Banking Company that has been in operation for less than one year, report the activity that the Reporter expects will generate the second largest percentage of the Banking Company's gross revenue during the Company's first fiscal year. Do not report more than one secondary activity. If the Banking Company does not engage in any activity other than its primary activity or is a bank, leave this item blank.

Specific Instructions for the Nonbanking Schedule (FR Y-10)

What to Report


Use this schedule to report the acquisition of interests in Nonbanking Companies, and other transactions involving interests in Nonbanking Companies, with certain exclusions.9 For purposes of the FR Y-10, a Nonbanking Company is any company that is not a BHC, bank organized under U.S. law, or Foreign Banking Organization (FBO); Nonbanking Companies include Edge and agreement corporations and foreign banks that are not FBOs.10 In addition to completing a Nonbanking Schedule, a FHC must complete a 4(k) Schedule with respect to the acquisition of an interest in a nonbanking company that results in the FHC engaging in a nonbanking activity it has not previously conducted. To complete the Nonbanking Schedule, check the appropriate event type box(es), provide the date of the reportable event(s), and complete other items on the schedule as directed in the following instructions.


Interests in Nonbanking Companies


In general, a Reporter's acquisition of an interest in a Nonbanking Company is a reportable event if, as a result of the acquisition, the Reporter directly or indirectly acquires control of the Nonbanking Company. The acquisition of such an interest is reported either as an “Acquisition of a Going Concern" or as a "De Novo Formation." In all cases, a Reporter that is required to file a regulatory financial report with the Federal Reserve System about a Nonbanking Company is also required to file FR Y-10 report(s) regarding the subject Nonbanking Company. In addition, a Reporter is required to file FR Y-10 reports for any company (even if it does not otherwise meet the reporting criteria) that is both a subsidiary of the Reporter and a parent of the subject Nonbanking Company.11



Control: To determine whether a Reporter controls a Nonbanking Company for purposes of the FR Y-10, apply the definition of “control” in the Glossary. In addition, with respect to control of interests held under authority of Subpart A of Regulation K, please see the instructions for reporting such interests under Item 14.


Note: In general, an interest in a Nonbanking Company is not reportable unless the Reporter directly or indirectly controls the Nonbanking Company12. Accordingly, note the following:

  • Variable Interest Entities (as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R) generally are not reportable on the FR Y-10.

  • Advising and administering a mutual fund by itself does not constitute a reportable interest of a Reporter in that fund.


Exclusions: The following interests are not reportable on the FR Y-10 even if they meet the definition of control found in the Glossary:

  • Inactive Companies: An interest in a company that exists as a matter of law, but does not engage in any business activity. The interest becomes reportable once the company begins to engage in business, as follows: report as either a "De Novo Formation" if the Reporter has not previously reported an interest in the Nonbanking Company or report as a "Change in Activity or Legal Authority" if the Reporter has previously reported an interest in the Nonbanking Company. Note that the term "inactive companies" includes companies that have been setup as name-saving organizations or have been formed or incorporated but do not yet conduct any business activity. These types of companies become reportable only when they commence an activity;

  • U.S. Investments of Unaffiliated National Banks: Any interest held under any authority other than Subpart A of Regulation K, by a national bank not controlled by a BHC or FBO;

  • Companies Held by a Small Business Investment Company: Companies held directly or indirectly by Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) are not required to be reported on the FR Y-10. However, if a BHC or a FBO that is a FHC engaged in merchant banking activities holds shares in the same merchant banking investment through a merchant banking subsidiary

  • as well as through a SBIC, the entire investment is treated as the merchant banking investment, subject to the reporting criteria;

  • Debts Previously Contracted An interest in a Nonbanking Company acquired to secure or collect a debt previously contracted or in a Nonbanking Company that solely holds assets acquired in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted;

  • Interests Held as Collateral: An interest held solely as collateral securing an extension of credit;

  • Companies Controlled Through an Insurance Underwriter: An interest in a Nonbanking Company organized under U.S. federal or state law, if controlled directly or indirectly by an insurance underwriter. This exception does not apply to either of the following: an interest in a Nonbanking Company that is the underwriter's highest-tier provider in the United States of any primary line of insurance, or any interest that is a reportable merchant banking or insurance company investment as described in the 4(k) Schedule instructions;

  • Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV): An interest in a special purpose vehicle formed for specific leasing transactions, such as a special purpose vehicle engaged in a single leasing transaction;

  • Companies Required to be Conformed or Divested: An interest in any company which must be divested, or the activities of which must be conformed, pursuant to Sections 4(a) (2) or 4(n)(7) of the BHC Act or pursuant to a commitment made to the Board or the Federal Reserve Bank. (See also 12 C.F.R. 225.85.)

  • Certain Interests Held Under Regulation K: With respect to any company that is held under authority of Subpart A of Regulation K, but is not a subsidiary of the Reporter as defined in Section 211.2(w) of Regulation K,13 do not report any interest held directly or indirectly by such company under authority of Subpart A of Regulation K.


  • Investments Held by FBOs Under Section 211.23(f)(5) of Regulation K: A FBO that is, or is treated as, a QFBO, need not report an interest in any Nonbanking Company (1) that does not engage in any activities in the U.S.; or (2) the U.S. activities of which, pursuant to Section 211.23(f)(5) of Regulation K, are to the same kind of activities or related to the activities the company primarily conducts outside the U.S This exception does not apply, however, to interests held by a FBO through a BHC or bank organized under U.S. law, or through an Edge or agreement corporation.


  • Public Welfare Investments: Public welfare investments subject to prior-notice or post-notice filing requirements with federal banking agencies (such as CD-1 or H-6), if held through a company that has been reported on the FR Y-10 and that is principally engaged in community development or public welfare investment activities.


Subsequent Events: Once a Reporter has reported the acquisition of a reportable interest in a Nonbanking Company, the following events become reportable:

  • Any subsequent sale, transfer or change in

ownership affecting the voting interest in whole

or in part which causes a direct holder's interest

to fall within a different range than that

previously reported;

  • The transfer of all or part of a reportable company to another subsidiary within the Reporter's organization;

  • A Reporter's liquidation of a Nonbanking Company;

  • Any changes rendering the Reporter's interest in the Nonbanking Company no longer reportable; or

  • Any change to information previously reported on this schedule.


Multiple Direct Holders: In the case of a reportable event in which a Reporter acquires an interest in a Nonbanking Company through more than one direct holder, the Reporter must file a separate Nonbanking Schedule for each direct holder.14 As long as the

Reporter's interest in the Nonbanking Company remains reportable, the Reporter must report any subsequent acquisition of any additional interest in the Nonbanking Company by any additional direct holders.


Reporting Mergers: When a Nonbanking Company is merged into a Reporter or a Reporter's subsidiary as part of the same transaction in which the Reporter acquires the Nonbanking Company (i.e., the Nonbanking Company no longer exists as a legal entity), the acquisition of that Nonbanking Company should be reported on the Merger Schedule instead of the Nonbanking Schedule.


Check box if correction: Check this box to indicate that previously reported information was filed incorrectly and has been corrected with the information provided.

Item l.a - Event Type

Check the event type box(es) that best describes the event type being reported. Do not report events that occur on separate dates on the same schedule.


Acquisition of a Going Concern: Initial acquisition by a direct holder of an interest in a Nonbanking Company that is a going concern. To report, check the event type box next to "Acquisition of a Going Concern," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, and complete all sections of the schedule. Subsequent acquisition by the same direct holder of additional shares or other additional interests in the Nonbanking Company or disposition of such shares or interests should be reported as a "Change in Ownership."


Note: If the acquired going concern has one or more subsidiaries, the Reporter must file a separate Banking or Nonbanking Schedule (as appropriate) for each subsidiary.


De Novo Formation: Opening for business of a new Nonbanking Company in which a direct holder has an interest. To report, check the event type box next to "De Novo Formation," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, and complete all sections of the schedule. An interest in a Nonbanking Company is not reportable until the Nonbanking Company opens for business.


External Transfer: Sale, divestiture, or other transfer of a direct holder's entire previously reported interest in a Nonbanking Company, to a company other than the Reporter or its subsidiaries. To report, check the event type box next to "External Transfer," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Nonbanking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. In addition, in the Ownership Section, the Reporter should list the name and location of the former direct holder of the divested company in Item 15. Item 11 should be left blank.


Note: Report any partial external transfer of a previously reported interest in a Nonbanking Company as a "Change in Ownership."


Internal Transfer: Sale or other transfer of a direct holder's entire previously reported interest in a Nonbanking Company to the Reporter or to a different subsidiary of the Reporter, as part of an internal reorganization. To report, check the event type box next to "Internal Transfer," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Nonbanking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. In addition, in the Ownership Section, report the new direct holder's (the acquirer's) name and location in Item 11, and report the former direct holder's (the seller's) name and location in Item 15. If the event results in any change in legal authority, also report the new legal authority code in the Activity and Legal Authority Section.


Note: Report any partial internal transfer of a previously reported interest in a Nonbanking Company by filing two Nonbanking Schedules: one as a "Change in Ownership" by the transferring direct holder and one as an "Acquisition of a Going Concern" by the acquiring direct holder. The transferring direct holder should report by following the directions for reporting a “Change in Ownership”. The acquiring direct holder need only report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Nonbanking Company’s legal name in Item 2.a, and complete the Ownership Section, as appropriate, excluding Item 15. If the event results in any change in legal authority, also report the new legal authority code in the Activity and Legal Authority Section.


Change in Ownership: Denote any of the following: an increase or decrease in a direct holder's ownership percentage of a class of voting shares of a Nonbanking Company if the resulting percentage would fall within a range different from the range previously reported in Item 12.a of the Ownership Section; a change in the direct holder's status with respect to control of any other ownership interest in the Nonbanking Company or control of the Nonbanking Company; or a change in the Reporter's status with respect to control of the Nonbanking Company. A direct holder's ownership percentage of a class of voting securities may change due to acquisition of additional shares, sale or transfer of some of the direct holder's shares, stock redemption, nonparticipation in a share issuance by the reportable Nonbanking Company, or other causes. To report, check the event type box next to "Change in Ownership," report the date of the event in Item l.b, the Nonbanking

Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section.


In addition, in the Ownership Section complete Items 11, 12, 13, 14, and, 15 as appropriate, to reflect the Change in Ownership.


Liquidation: Liquidation of a Nonbanking Company in which a direct holder previously had reported an interest. For purposes of the FR Y-10, liquidation refers to final distribution of assets, satisfaction of liabilities, and closing of capital accounts of a company, as opposed to sale or transfer of the company. Liquidation may result from voluntary dissolution or bankruptcy, and the liquidation process typically ends with termination of the company's legal existence. To report, check the event type boxes next to "No Longer Reportable" and "Liquidation," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Nonbanking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section.


Note: A Reporter need not file a FR Y-10 if liquidating a company previously reported as "Became Inactive."


Change in Characteristics: Change of a Nonbanking Company's legal name or address or any other change to information previously reported on the Characteristics Section of this schedule. To report, check the event type box next to "Change in Characteristics" and report the date of the event in Item 1.b. In addition, to report a name change, complete Items 2.a and 2.b and for relocation, complete Items 3.a and 3.b. For any other change to this section, report the Nonbanking Company's legal name in Item 2.a and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section, and report updated information for the appropriate items in the section.


Change in Activity or Legal Authority: Change in a Nonbanking Company's previously reported primary or secondary activity, commencement of a secondary activity, termination of a previously reported activity, or change in the legal authority under which a previously reported activity is conducted. To report, check the event type box next to "Change in Activity or Legal Authority," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Nonbanking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. In addition, in the Activity and Legal Authority Section, report only the updated information.


No Longer Reportable: Any transaction that renders a Reporter's interest in a Nonbanking Company no longer reportable. In general, once a Reporter acquires control of a Nonbanking Company, the Reporter's interests in the Nonbanking Company remain reportable so long as the Nonbanking Company is actively engaged in business and the Reporter controls the Nonbanking Company (apply the definition of control in the Glossary). To report, check the event type box next to "No Longer Reportable." In addition, check the event type box corresponding to the event type that rendered the interest no longer reportable and follow the instructions for reporting that event type. Event types that will render an interest no longer reportable include "External Transfer," "Liquidation," and "Became Inactive.” Event types that may render an interest no longer reportable include "Change in Ownership," and "Change in Activity or Legal Authority."


Note: If reporting a company, which has subsidiaries, as "No Longer Reportable," please report the disposition of each subsidiary. Typically the disposition of a company’s interest in a subsidiary may be reported as an “External Transfer,” “Internal Transfer,” “Liquidation,” or “Became Inactive,” as appropriate.


Became Inactive: Cessation of business activity by a company in which a direct holder previously had reported an interest. To report, check the event type boxes next to "No Longer Reportable" and "Became Inactive," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Nonbanking Company's legal name in Item 2.a, and the location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. If a Nonbanking Company that is inactive subsequently becomes active and was not previously reported by the Reporter, report as a "De Novo Formation." However, if the Reporter had previously reported an interest in the Nonbanking Company and it subsequently became inactive and then it was re-activated, report the event as a "Change in Activity or Legal Authority."


Became Reportable: Any transaction that renders reportable a Reporter’s interest in a Nonbanking Company that is already a going concern, but does not involve the Reporter’s initial acquisition of an interest in, or formation of, that Nonbanking Company. To report, check the event type box next to "Became Reportable," report the date of the event in Item 1.b, and complete all sections of the schedule.


Other: If none of the listed event types adequately describes the reportable event, check the box next to "If other, please describe," and provide a text description in the space provided.

Item 4 — If the Nonbanking Company is a Functionally Regulated Subsidiary, indicate its functional regulator

Check the box to indicate the regulator(s) of the Nonbanking Company, if the Nonbanking Company is not an insured depository institution but is regulated by one of the functional regulators listed below. If the Nonbanking Company is not regulated by one of the functional regulators listed below, check the box next to "Not Applicable."

  • Not applicable;

  • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC); or

  • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) only; or

  • A state securities department; or

  • A state insurance regulator.


Item 5 – Is the Nonbanking Company a Financial Subsidiary of an Insured Depository Institution?

Check the applicable box to indicate whether or not the Nonbanking Company is a financial subsidiary. A financial subsidiary is a subsidiary of an insured depository institution that, as authorized under 12 U.S.C. §§ 24a, 335, or 1831w, engages in activities not permissible for the insured depository institution itself.

Item 6 – SEC Reporting Status


Check the box corresponding to the Nonbanking Company’s current SEC reporting status:


Not Applicable-

This box should be checked if the Nonbanking Company is not subject to any of the other check box selections described for this item. For example: A De Novo bank that is not subject to sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


  • Subject to 13(a) or 15(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 404 of SOX Act-

This box should be checked if the Nonbanking Company meets the requirements to file annual and other periodic reports pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is also subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, regardless if the Nonbanking Company has a delay in reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Note: Pursuant to section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Federal Reserve has delegated authority to act on behalf of the Securities and Exchange Commission to collect reports from nonbank subsidiaries of state member banks. Therefore, nonbank subsidiaries of state member banks should apply the same SEC reporting requirements pursuant to section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and should check this box if such periodic SEC reports are filed to the Board of Governors instead of the Securities and Exchange Commission.


  • Subject to 13(a) or 15(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but not Section 404 of SOX Act-

This box should be checked if the Nonbanking Company is required to file annual and other periodic reports pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and not subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Do not check this box if the Nonbanking Company has a delay in reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.


  • Terminated or Suspended reporting requirements under 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 -

This box should be checked if the Nonbanking Company has terminated or suspended duties to file periodic reports under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for reasons specified by the SEC regulations.


Item 7 – CUSIP Number:


The Reporter must report the most recently assigned and currently active six-digit CUSIP number for the Reporter’s largest subsidiary Nonbanking Company in the U.S with an active CUSIP number. A CUSIP number identifies most securities, including (1) stocks and debt (including subordinated issues) of all SEC-registered U.S. companies and (2) U.S. government and municipal bonds. The number consists of nine characters (a combination of letters and numbers) in which the first six digits uniquely identify an issuer. The first six digits (leading six digits) should be reported in the boxes on Item 7.


The six-digit CUSIP number may change, for example when:

  • The last three digits of the nine-digit CUSIP number are not sufficient to accommodate all outstanding issues (greater than 999) and an additional issuer (six-digit) CUSIP number is assigned; or

  • Changes occur to the corporate name, whether or not associated with a merger or reorganization; or

  • Reverse stock splits of corporate shares occur.


Note: A change in the CUSIP number is a reportable event on the FR Y-10 as a “Change in Characteristics.”


The largest subsidiary Nonbanking Company in the U.S. with an active CUSIP number is determined by dividing the total assets of each U.S. subsidiary Nonbanking Company with an active CUSIP number by the consolidated assets of the Reporter as of the most recent December 31 and ranking the percentages from the highest to lowest (with the resulting entity with the highest percentage value). If available, please use total assets reported on Federal Reserve or FFIEC regulatory reports.


The largest U.S. subsidiary Nonbanking Company with an active CUSIP number must be assessed only once a year as of December 31. Thus any changes to the CUSIP numbers for this subsidiary that occur during the year should be reported within thirty days. If there is a change as to which company is the largest U.S. subsidiary Nonbanking Company with an active CUSIP number (when reviewing the most recent December 31 financial data), begin reporting information on the new subsidiary starting January 30 the following year.


Exclusions:


  • Do not report any CUSIP numbers associated with entities that are nonsurvivors of mergers. In the event of a merger, the nonsurvivor’s debt-related CUSIP numbers will remain in use until outstanding debt is paid off since the entity will still service the debt. However, no new issues will be made under the nonsurvivor’s CUSIP number. New debt instruments will be issued under the


survivor’s CUSIP number. The nonsurvivor’s equity-related CUSIP numbers will be retired.


  • Do not report CUSIP numbers associated with securitization vehicles and issuers of trust preferred securities.


  • Do not report any CUSIP numbers associated with money market instruments15 such as certificates of deposit, medium-term notes16, and commercial paper. Do not report historical information on CUSIP numbers that existed prior to December 31, 2005.


Item 8 — Nonbanking Company Type

Provide the Nonbanking Company type from the list below. The type selected should be based upon the legal documents issued by the chartering or licensing authority or other documents of formation. Note that a reportable change in nonbank company entity type is likely to be associated with a change in activity.


Nonbanking Company Types

Industrial bank, industrial loan company

or Morris Plan bank

Limited charter bank

Savings and loan association

Federal savings bank

Cooperative bank

Banking Edge or agreement corporation

Depository trust company

Investment Edge or agreement corporation

Foreign bank other than a FBO

Securities underwriter

Securities broker or dealer

Insurance underwriter

Insurance broker or agent

Nondepository trust company

Other holding company

Other company - If "Other company," describe business activity17


Item 9 – Business Organization Type

Check the appropriate box to indicate the legal business organization type of the Nonbanking Company. If none of the listed descriptions adequately describes the organization type, check the box for "If other, please describe" and provide a text description.


Item 10 – Is the Nonbanking Company

Consolidated in the reporter’s Financial

Statements? (for certain types of foreign offices)

Answer this question only if the Nonbanking Company is one of the following “foreign” offices: (a) Consolidated subsidiary in a foreign country; or (b) Majority-owned Edge or agreement subsidiary. Check “Yes” only if the Nonbanking Company is

consolidated in any subsidiary domestic commercial bank’s Consolidated Reports

of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031) within the reporter’s organization. Otherwise, check “No.”


Note: A consolidated subsidiary in Puerto Rico or a U.S. Territory or possession is a “foreign” office.


Ownership Section

Item 11 — Direct Holder's Name and Location Provide the legal name, city, state/province, and country of the direct holder. If the Reporter holds the interest through more than one direct holder, complete a separate Nonbanking Schedule for each direct holder. Leave this item blank on any Nonbanking Schedule filed by a Reporter about itself or for event type "External Transfer."


Item 12.a —Percentage of a Class of Voting Shares

If the Reporter in the aggregate controls 25 percent or more of a class of the Nonbanking Company's voting shares, check the appropriate box for the percentage of such class controlled by the direct holder. If the Reporter in the aggregate controls 25 percent or more of more than one class of the Nonbanking Company's voting shares, check the box corresponding to the direct holder's percentage for the class in which the Reporter controls the highest percentage. If needed, see the instructions on page Nonbanking-2 (and accompanying footnote) of these instructions for further

information on multiple classes of voting shares and multiple direct holders.


Determine the appropriate box to check by rounding the actual percentage down to the nearest whole percentage. For example, a percentage of 79.85 should be rounded down to 79 and reported by checking the box next to “>50% to <80%”.


Note: There are two exceptions to this rounding rule: when the percentage is greater than 50 but less than 51, report the percentage as 51 by checking the box next to “>50% to <80%”; and if the percentage is greater than 0 but less than 1, report the percentage by checking the box next to “<25% but 25% or more in the aggregate or otherwise controlled elsewhere within the organization”.


In general, a direct holder is considered to control all shares that it has the power to vote, but not shares held in a fiduciary capacity. However, shares held by the direct holder as fiduciary are deemed controlled by the direct holder if the shares are held for the benefit of employees, shareholders, members, or affiliates of the Reporter or any subsidiary of the Reporter. In addition, a security that is convertible into a voting security at a holder's option is deemed to be shares of the class into which the security is convertible.


Interests in Partnerships or Limited Liability Companies: Report general partner interests in limited partnerships or managing member interests in limited liability companies, and partner interests in general partnerships and limited liability partnerships, by checking the box next to “<25% but 25% or more in the aggregate or otherwise controlled elsewhere within the organization” in Item 12.a, and completing Item 12.b Report limited partner interests in limited partnerships and limited liability limited partnerships, as well as nonmanaging member interests in limited liability companies, by completing Item 12.b but not Item 12.a.


Item 12.b —Other Interest

Only if the Reporter has left Item 12.a blank (except as described above for certain interests in partnerships and limited liability companies), check the box next to “Yes” to indicate whether the direct holder has an ownership interest, other than voting shares, in the Nonbanking Company. Such an interest may include nonvoting shares, exercise of control over the management of the Nonbanking Company through a management agreement, or the direct holder's election of one or more directors of the Nonbanking Company. Otherwise, check the box next to “No.”


Item 13 — Control by Direct Holder

Check the appropriate box to indicate whether the direct holder controls the Nonbanking Company. To determine if the direct holder controls the Nonbanking Company, apply the standard found in the definition of “control” in the Glossary.


Item 14 — Regulation K, Subpart A Investments

Complete this item only if the interest in the Nonbanking Company is held under authority of Subpart A of Regulation K (12 CFR section 211.1 et seq.). This item is intended to indicate the character of the investment under subpart A of Regulation K. For interests held under Subpart A of Regulation K, check the box that best describes the Reporter's aggregate investment in the Nonbanking Company.


The FR Y-10 relies on the Regulation Y standard of control, found in the definition of control found in the Glossary, for determining the reportability of investments in Nonbanking Companies, regardless of the authority18 (e.g., Regulation K or Y) under which those investments were made. The control standard applicable under Subpart A of Regulation K differs in some respects from the Regulation Y control standard. The Reporter should follow the “control” standard set forth in the Glossary in determining the reportability of investments made under subpart A of Regulation K. The Reporter should refer to the Regulation K definitions of “subsidiary” (12 CFR section 211.2(w)), “joint venture” (12 CFR section 211.2(p)), and “portfolio investment” (see 12 CFR sections 211.2(u) and 211.8(c)(3)(i)) for purposes of characterizing the nature of the investment under Regulation K and responding to this report item.

Under Regulation K:

  • A Nonbanking Company is a subsidiary of a Reporter for purposes of Item 14 if the Reporter directly or indirectly holds more than 50 percent of the Nonbanking Company's voting shares, or the Nonbanking Company is otherwise controlled or capable of being controlled by the Reporter or an affiliate under any authority. Among other circumstances, an investor is considered to control an organization if: the Reporter or an affiliate is a general partner of the Nonbanking Company; or the Reporter and its affiliates directly or indirectly own or control more than 50 percent of the equity of the Nonbanking Company. See 12 CFR 211.2(w).

  • An investment in a Nonbanking Company is a joint venture of a Reporter for purposes of Item 14 if the Nonbanking Company is not a subsidiary of the Reporter (as defined immediately above), but the Reporter or an affiliate directly or indirectly holds 20 percent or more of the Nonbanking Company's voting shares under any authority. See 12 CFR 211.2(p).

  • An investment in a Nonbanking Company is a portfolio investment of a Reporter for purposes of Item 14 if the total direct and indirect investments by the Reporter and its affiliates in the Nonbanking Company, when combined with all other shares in the Nonbanking Company held under any authority, do not exceed: 40 percent of the total equity of the organization; or 19.9 percent of the Nonbanking Company’s voting shares. See 12 CFR 211.8(c)(3)(i), and also 12 CFR 211.2(u).


Item 15 – Former Direct Holder's Name and Location

Provide the name and location of the former direct holder if Event Type reported in Item l.a is an External or Internal Transfer.

Activity and Legal Authority Section

Item 16.b – Secondary Activity

Report the activity that generated the second largest percentage of the company's gross revenue as of the company's most recent fiscal year. For a Nonbanking Company that has been in operation for less than one year, report the activity that the Reporter expects will generate the second largest percentage of the Nonbanking Company's gross revenue during the Company's first fiscal year.

Note: Large merchant banking and insurance company investments are exempt from reportability on the Banking and Nonbanking Schedules. Only the initial transaction should be reported on this schedule when the company meets the reporting criteria for the first time.

  • Changes to previously reported information.


For purposes of this schedule, a domestic branch is defined as: 1) a branch located in the fifty states of the United States, which is a branch of a U.S. depository institution; or 2) a branch located in the U.S. territories, which is located in the same territory as their head office depository institution.


For purposes of this report item, a branch is any location or facility of a domestic depository institution, including the main office, where any of the following occur: accounts are opened, deposits are accepted, checks are paid or loans are granted. Reportable branches include, but are not limited to: brick and mortar locations, drive-in facilities, mobile/seasonal offices, offices on military bases of government installations, paying or receiving stations or units (not stand-alone automated teller machines (ATMs)), and Internet and Phone Banking locations where a customer can open accounts, make deposits or borrow money.


Note: A branch does not include Administrative offices, Loan Production offices, Consumer Credit offices, stand-alone ATMs, Contractual offices, Customer Bank Communications Terminals (CBCT) and Electronic Fund Transfer Units (EFTU).


Allowable exclusions:

  • Address changes that result from changes in street names or zip codes, with no actual change in the physical location of the branch; and

  • Relocations of less than 1,000 feet, if the move does not involve a change of county.


The date reported for the opening of a branch should reflect the actual opening date. For branches newly acquired by the reporting head office through a merger or acquisition, report the date the event occurred.


A Reporter may choose to separately provide an attachment listing each of the branches acquired in a merger or absorption. Reporters that choose to use an attachment to report the acquisition of branches through a merger or absorption (as reported on the Merger Schedule) must contact the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank for further instructions on the format of the attachment.



When to Report

Information must be received at the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank within 30 calendar days of the occurrence of a reportable event. Reporters may choose to file all reportable events occurring in a month at one time (for example, at month-end) as long as each reportable event is received within 30 calendar days of its occurrence.

Transactions Occurring Between January 1, 2008 and April 30, 2008

Beginning with the December 31, 2007, report date, the Federal Reserve will provide each FR Y-6 Reporter with a list of domestic branches of each domestic depository institution (including thrifts) and Edge and agreement corporations within the Reporter’s organization for verification. To ensure the records of the Federal Reserve are up-to-date for the period of time between the initial collection of branch listing information in the FR Y-6 report and the onset of the Domestic Branch Schedule, BHCs must report on any branch openings, purchases, acquisitions, sales, closings or relocations, changes to service type or popular name, or deletions of erroneously reported information occurring between January 1, 2008 and April 30, 2008, by May 30, 2008. All reportable events should be filed using the Domestic Branch Schedule or a separate attachment. Reporters that choose to use an attachment to report on these transactions must contact the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank for further instructions on the format of the attachment..

Check box if correction: Check this box to indicate that previously reported information was filed incorrectly and has been corrected with the information provided.

Characteristics Section


Item 2 – Check Applicable Service Type

Check the box that best describes the service type of the branch:

  • Full Service – A branch that accepts deposits, makes loans, opens/closes accounts, has a loan officer and full-time staff on site, maintains normal hours, and may have safe deposit facilities on site. The site may be owned or leased by the institution or located in a retail facility such as a supermarket.

  • Limited Service – A branch that accepts deposits and payments; however, it may not offer other services. Examples include a Military Facility that operates on a military base for the sole purpose of cashing military and government payroll checks, a drive-through facility that can accept deposits and make payments but may not offer other services, a mobile/seasonal or otherwise temporary branch that may not have a fixed location or is only open for a limited period, or a limited service facility located in a retail establishment.

  • Trust – An office that only conducts trust activities and does not accept deposits.

  • Electronic Banking - A facility with phone, PC, and/or website services through which customers can open accounts, apply for loans, make fund transfers into accounts and other types of electronic transactions from a remote location.


Item 3.a – Popular Name

Provide the popular name of the branch being reported. Please include the word mobile in the popular name of a mobile office.

Item 3.b – Prior Popular Name

Provide the prior popular name, if reporting a name change.


Item 4.a – Current Address

Provide the current street address, city, county, state, country, and zip/postal code for the branch. The location reported should be the physical location of the branch, which is not necessarily its mailing address. Do not use a post office box as the street address. Report the nine-digit zip code, if available. When reporting the current address for an Electronic Banking branch, use the address of the operations center that performs the back room operations associated with this activity. When reporting the current address for a mobile branch, use the address of the main office.

In the event of relocation or correction, provide the prior street address, city, county, state, country and zip/postal code of the branch.

Item 5 – Head Office Legal Name and Location

Provide the legal name of the head office, and its current location: city, state, country, and zip/postal code. Changes to head office information should be reported on the Banking Schedule.


Item 6 – Branch Sales or Purchases

Provide the name and address of the depository institution that either sold the branches to your organization or purchased the branches from your organization as reported in Item 1.a, Event Type.


Also, in the applicable space, provide the number of branches only when reporting the following types of transactions:

  • Sale of branches through a partial purchase and assumption transaction; or

  • Purchase of branches through a partial purchase and assumption transaction.


For purposes of reporting the Domestic Branch Schedule, a partial purchase and assumption transaction is defined as the sale or purchase of one or more branches, but not all branches, to or from another depository institution. For example, Bank A is engaging in a partial purchase and assumption transaction when it sells three of its six branches to Bank B.


A Reporter may choose to separately provide an attachment listing each of the branches sold or purchased through a partial purchase and assumption transaction. Reporters that choose to report these types of transactions using an attachment must contact the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank.


1 A FBO with U.S. operations that is not or ceases to be a “qualifying foreign banking organization” (QFBO) within the meaning of Regulation K, and is not otherwise treated as a QFBO under Regulation K, should consult with Federal Reserve staff regarding the scope of its FR Y-10 reporting obligations. In general, a FBO that is not or is not treated as a QFBO is subject to the nonbanking restrictions of the BHC Act with respect to its worldwide operations and, thus, would have to report on the FR Y-10 changes to its worldwide organizational structure.

2 This reference to qualifying FBOs also pertains to FBOs that are treated as qualifying FBOs as well as FBOs that have limited exemption.


3 Prior to the issuance of this report form on June 30, 2007, changes to organizational structure of banking and nonbanking companies were reported on four forms, i.e., FR Y-10, FR Y-10F, FR Y-10S, and FR 2058. The respondent panels for those forms and the information required to be reported have been incorporated into this form. References to “information previously reported on Federal Reserve structure reports” pertain to information reported on those four report forms.


4 A Reporter that is a Banking Company should use the Banking Schedule to report information about itself.

5 For purposes of the FR Y-10, "Banking Company" refers to BHCs and banks as those terms are defined in the Bank Holding Company Act (BHC Act), as well as to FBOs. Because savings associations, trust companies not accepting demand deposits, certain industrial loan companies, and similar institutions are not included in the BHC Act definition of a bank, acquisition of an interest in such an institution should be reported on the Nonbanking Schedule or 4(k) Schedule, as appropriate.

6 As noted in the instructions for Item 12.a of this schedule, a Reporter that in the aggregate controls 5 percent or more of more than one class of the Banking Company’s voting shares need only report the class of which the Reporter controls the highest percentage (the “highest class”). If two or more classes could each be considered the highest class, a Reporter must report each such class, if held by different direct holders. A Reporter must file a separate Banking Schedule for each direct holder through which the Reporter controls shares of the highest class, but need not file any schedule for a direct holder through which the Reporter controls only shares of classes other than the highest class.

7 However, subordinated issues should be included.

8 Medium term notes are a type of money market instrument with an average maturity of 4 to 6 years.


9 For purposes of the FR Y-10, "Banking Company" refers to BHCs and banks as those terms are defined in the Bank Holding Company Act (BHC Act), as well as to FBOs. Because savings associations, trust companies not accepting demand deposits, certain industrial loan companies, and similar institutions are not included in the BHC Act definition of bank, acquisition of an interest in such an institution should be reported on the Nonbanking Schedule or 4(k) Schedule, as appropriate.

10 A Reporter that is a Nonbanking Company should use the Nonbanking Schedule to report information about itself.

11 However, a Reporter need only report information in response to Items 2.a, 3.a, 10, 11, and 12 with respect to a company that does not otherwise meet the reporting criteria but is both a subsidiary of the Reporter and a parent of a Nonbanking Company.

12 Some merchant banking or insurance company investments made under authority of section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act may be reportable on the FR Y-10 even if the Reporter making the investment does not control the company in which the investment is made. See the 4(k) Schedule for further information on the reportability of merchant banking and insurance company investments.


13 Note that the definition of “Subsidiary” in Section 211.2(w) of Regulation K differs from the definition of subsidiary found in the Glossary appended to these instructions. For example, in general under Section 211.2(w) of Regulation K, Company B is a subsidiary of Company A if: Company A directly or indirectly controls more than 50 percent of Company B's voting securities; Company A is a general partner of Company B; Company A directly or indirectly controls more than 50 percent of the equity of Company B; or Company A otherwise controls Company B.

14

? As noted in the instructions for Item 12.a of this schedule, a Reporter that in the aggregate controls 25 percent or more of more than one class of the Nonbanking Company’s voting shares need only report the class of which the Reporter controls the highest percentage (the “highest class”). If two or more classes could each be considered the highest class, a Reporter must report each such class, if held by different direct holders. A Reporter must file a separate Nonbanking Schedule for each direct holder through which the Reporter controls shares of the highest class, but need not file any schedule for a direct holder through which the Reporter controls only shares of classes other than the highest class.

1515 However, subordinated issues should be included.

1616 Medium term notes are a type of money market instrument with an average maturity of 4 to 6 years.


17 Companies formed to issue trust preferred securities typically are reported as "Other company".


18 Those investments that are made under authority of Subpart A of Regulation K that are not reportable on the FR Y-10 are subject to the internal record-keeping requirements described in SR 02-2, and may be reportable on the FR Y-6 or Y-7 in accordance with the specific instructions to that reporting form.

19 Foreign or foreign country refers to one or more foreign nations, and includes the overseas territories, dependencies, and insular possessions of those nations and of the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. (Section 211.2(i) of Regulation K.) With respect to territorial banks, report on this schedule information about branches located outside the country of the head office.

20 This schedule should not be submitted for U.S. chartered depository institutions owned directly by a FBO.
