The Board’s Regulation XX -
Concentration Limit (12 CFR Part 251) implements section 14 of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act), which establishes a
financial sector concentration limit that generally prohibits a
financial company from merging or consolidating with, or otherwise
acquiring, another company if the resulting company’s liabilities
upon consummation would exceed 10 percent of the aggregate
liabilities of all financial companies (a covered acquisition).
Under section 14 of the BHC Act and Regulation XX, a financial
company means (1) an insured depository institution, (2) a bank
holding company, (3) a savings and loan holding company, (4) any
other company that controls an insured depository institution, (5)
a nonbank financial company designated by the Financial Stability
Oversight Council (Council) for supervision by the Board, or (6) a
foreign bank or company that is treated as a bank holding company
for purposes of the BHC Act. Regulation XX includes certain
reporting requirements that apply to financial companies, and the
FR XX-1 report collects information from certain financial
companies that do not otherwise report consolidated financial
information to the Board or another Federal banking
agency.
