Abstract: Section 956(e) of the Dodd- Frank Act requires that the Commission, jointly with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (together the “Agencies”), prescribe regulations or guidelines that prohibit any type of incentive-based payment arrangement, or any feature of such arrangement, that the Agencies determine encourages inappropriate risks by covered financial institutions (i) by providing an executive officer, employee, director or principal shareholder of the covered financial institution with excessive compensation, fees or benefits or (ii) that could lead to material financial loss to the covered financial institution. Under Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act, a covered financial institution also must disclose to its appropriate Federal regulator the structure of its incentive-based compensation arrangements sufficient to determine whether the structure provides excessive compensation, fees, or benefits or could lead to material financial loss to the institution. Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act does not require a covered financial institution to disclose compensation of individuals as part of this requirement.
