**Besides the repo market very sloppy today, I am getting investors coming in
asking me if AIG is having any trouble rolling their CP. Just fyi. Their stock is
getting hit hard this morning again I believe
Repo under huge upward pressure this morning due most likely to the LEH
situation. I am sure you saw the stops yesterday in the repos that generated a
huge spike in repo into the close yesterday, so starting out very high today

Trish Mosser just called. AIG is coming to FRBNY this afternoon. Evidently
they have a huge hole and are worried about downgrades, liquidity problems.
Source of hole is credit derivatives. She will call later with details.
I may or may not be going to NY, perhaps later today but more likely
tomorrow morning. So I am going to point Trish in your direction.
Pat
The actual amount of collateral that AIGFP would be required to post to counterparties in the
event of such downgrades, or the aggregate amount of payments that AIG could be required
to make, depends on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions
and other factors prevailing at the time of the downgrade. Additional obligations to post
collateral or the costs of assignment, repayment or alternative credit support would increase
the demands on AIG’s liquidity. Further downgrades could result in requirements for
substantial additional collateral, which could have a material adverse effect on AIG’s
liquidity.
Sept. 12 (Bloomberg) -- American International Group Inc., the largest U.S. insurer, may
accelerate plans to raise capital or sell assets after the shares plunged 42 percent this week,
said a person familiar with the company.
Chief Executive Officer Robert Willumstad may announce the turnaround plan before his
Sept. 25 deadline said the person, who declined to be named because the New York-based
insurer hasn't made an official statement. AIG may be able to raise $20 billion selling assets
including its consumer finance, reinsurance and plane-leasing units, according to analysts at
Citigroup Inc.
AIG shares slumped and the cost of insuring its debt rose to a record today on concern that
the company may be the next big U.S. financial firm after Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. to
run short of capital. AIG spokesman Joe Norton declined to comment on the reorganization
plans.
``It's a carbon-copy story for a lot of these guys that need capital,'' said Robert Bolton,
managing director for trading at Mendon Capital Advisors Corp. in Rochester, New York.
``It's unprecedented that two storied franchises, Bear Stearns and Lehman, have taken on the
type of water they have, and now there are fears about another titan, AIG.''
AIG dropped $4.61, or 26 percent, to $12.94 at 3:29 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange
composite trading. The price of credit- default swaps, used as hedges against losses on bad
debt, approached distressed levels and traded higher than those for Lehman, the securities
firm that's fighting for survival.
Raising Capital
The insurer raised $20.3 billion in May by selling debt and equity, diluting the holdings of
long-time investors. It's ``very hard to predict'' if AIG will need more capital, Willumstad
said Aug. 7.
``As distressed as they are, raising new capital could be extremely hard,'' said Tim Backshall,
chief strategist at Credit Derivatives Research LLC in Walnut Creek, California, today in an
e-mail.
The firm reported about $25 billion in writedowns in three previous quarters on the swaps.
The contracts backed $441 billion of assets as of June 30, including $57.8 billion in securities
tied to subprime mortgages.
Credit-Default Swaps
Most of the valuation declines on the swaps will reverse and AIG may have to pay $8.5
billion on the contracts in a worst-case scenario, the company said Aug. 7.
American General Finance, AIG's consumer lender, could fetch more than $6 billion if the
unit sold for twice its book value. AIG Investments could sell for more than $3 billion if it
sold for 2.5 percent of clients' assets under management. The stake in reinsurer Transatlantic
Holdings Inc. is worth about $2.4 billion, based on the Sept. 10 share price.
Bank of America Corp. analyst Alain Karaoglan said Willumstad should reconsider the
decision to keep its aircraft- leasing unit, which could sell for $7 billion to $14 billion.
I am sure you saw, S&P put Aig ratings on NEG WATCH for downgrade. I think this
along with their Stock/CDS price action today will shut them out of CP on Monday
given the investor nervousness I saw today. News sources saying AIG may have
some conference call Monday, so we will see what happens.

FYI, I looked at AIG's Q2 earnings presentation. They have taken cumulative MTM
writedowns of $25 billion on super senior ABS CDOs ($80 billion notional). They
have posted $16.5 billion of collateral. Their CSAs do have rating-based triggers for
collateral. For them as for others, MTM writedowns will become realized losses as
the CDOs liquidate, which (market-wide) is happening gradually.

AIG Meeting Notes
September 12, 2008
AIG – Jacob Frenkel (Vice Chairman), Steve Bensinger (CFO), David Herzog (SVP
& Comptroller), Robert Gender (VP & Treasurer), Alan Pryor (EVP – Financial
Services Division)
FRBNY – Trish Mosser, Jim Mahoney, Bill Dudley
AIG is facing serious liquidity issues that threaten its survival viability.
There are potential credit rating agency downgrades. Moody’s Committee meets on
Monday September 15 (currently rated AA3, downgraded at least one notch)… S&P
already has AIG on negative watch (as of today)… Fitch already has AIG on
negative watch.
Rating triggers:
GICs are issued out of AIG-Financial Products (AIG-FP), insured by the holding
company.
downgrade by 1 rating agency leads to $10B in collateral calls, plus an additional
$4B-$5B in portfolio obligations that are puttable if downgraded (total of $15B in
liquidity needs)
downgrade by 2 rating agencies – additional $3B in liquidity needs
If downgraded, they must post half of the additional collateral within 2 days, and
the other half in 10 days.
Markets are also punishing AIG. Stock prices are off about 40% today, and CDS is
traded at about 1400 bp (up from about 10 bp eighteen months ago).
Some banks are already pulling away; some banks are even turning down AIG in the
secured (repo) borrowing markets
AIG is having problems rolling its commercial paper (CP). $2.5B in CP matured
today, but they were able to roll only $1.1B, the remaining $1.4B was funded out of
the parent.
AIG has a total of about $15B in CP, which has backstop (backup lines
of credit) from a consortium of banks; AIG may have to draw on lines
on Monday, which is a material event and so will become publicly
known and have negative implications.
AIG also has ABCP facilities of about $5B, and these have no backup
lines
Securities lending (mostly out of the insurance companies) – about $69B in liabilities,
and the holding company has only enough cash to fund ½ of that, if the sec lending
counterparties turn away from the AIG name.
Bottom line: Treasurer estimates that parent and AIG FS sub have 5-10 days before
they are out of liquidity.

AIG’s repo book is all investment grade, mostly structured mortgage products…. Things
that have, in the past, been used as repo collateral... but the combination of being
perceived as a weak counterparty and risky, illiquid collateral is resulting in
counterparties stepping away….

Securities lending (mostly out of the insurance companies) – about $69B in liabilities,
and the holding company has only enough cash to fund ½ of that, if the sec
lending counterparties turn away from the AIG name.
Mobility of liquidity – most cash within the organization is ‘trapped’ in regulated entities
and is not freely transferable to AIG holding company or AIG Financial Products
(the derivatives and trading sub) for its liquidity needs.
Today, the holding company started with $9B in liquidity, used $1.4 for CP, but
was able to upstream about $1.4B in ‘dividends’ from subs up to holding
company, but little ability, in general, to use subs to upstream liquidity to holding
co or its non-regulated subs.
Bottom line: Treasurer estimates that parent and AIG FS sub have 5-10 days before they
are out of liquidity.

AIG Meeting Notes Meeting Notes are Duplicates
Not a lot new from Trish's note. Some more details on counterparties and
derivatives. They expect a ratings downgrade early next week, they plan to draw on
their backup lines which will give them enough liquidity to get them to the 26th or
29th. They expect if counterparties begin to pull away, it will happen quickly and
they could be run out of liquidity in a couple of days. Counterparties are pulling
away and they can't add borrowing capacity.
Trapped liquidity is a big issue. They have spoken with NY State insurance
commissioner about ways to get money out of insurance sub. They are
investigating, but cash is there to protect policy holders. Probably only feasible if
Fed lends to isnurance sub and they can move it to the HC (can't repo). They have
some capacity to move cash out, but only about $3 billion or so, but subs don't have
cash and are having trouble selling assets.
$68 billion in Sec Lending business - worry is about rolling it over. Business is in the
insurance sub referenced above. They can't sustain a large amount of withdrawals.
There isn't really a contingency plan. Pvt equity was discussed (due dil starting
tomorrow), sale of businesses, etc. - would need bridge financing.
They are a large issuer of annuities that can be put back. Could be as much as over
$100 billion.
They have ops overseas that could be afected - UK and Japan, but they also own
banks in Poland, Hong Kong, and other locations.
Derivatives book is huge, they sponsor some ETFs (commodities) and they have a lot
of counterparties. Most worried about behavior of counterparties and whether there
could be an acceleration of payments without netting. Concentration is in 12 major
internationally active banks that are the most active in the derivative market.
They are a member of CLS but a significant amount of their business is not done
through CLS.

We (NY and Board staff) had a conf call with AIG this evening. The situation seems
very serious. I will be filling Don in shortly. Board staff will be meeting at 8 a.m.
and then briefing the Chairman.
I'm sure Brian meant to send this to you and not Richard Perl.
What should we do? If AIG doesn't have collateral they can pledge to us, I just
don't think we can lend. It seems like it would have to be the Treasury. If we think
the entity is insolvent, can you think of anyway to make the failure more orderly?

From: Meg.McConnell@ny.frb.org
To: Kevin Warsh
Subject: Fw: Update on AIG
Date: 09/12/2008 11:52 PM
The key takeaway is that they are potentially facing a severe run on their
liquidity over the course of the next several (approx. 10) days if they are
downgraded by Moodys and S&P early next week. They anticipate downgrades
could happen as early as Monday. Their risk exposures are concentrated
among the 12 largest international banks (both U.S. and European) across a
wide array of product types (bank lines, derivatives, securities lending,
etc.) meaning their could be significant counterparty losses to those
firms in the event of AIG's failure. They estimate that they might have
to pay out $18.6B across the firm over the course of next week if they were
downgraded.
I. Liquidity
Outside of the holding co., the insurance subs have about $68B in
securities lending liabilities to the 12 largest firms. Program is
managed by the holding company (AIG Financial Products). In principle they
could use these assets for repo: in practice they do not believe that repo
of assets is viable b/c the assets are mostly non-agency mortgages and not
very desirable. They have lending facilities from the insurance
subsidiary to the holding company of $4.9B. They discussed with NYSID
Superintendent Dinallo whether they could free up liquidity in excess of
the $4.9B to the holding co. Some of the subs have large muni and
corporate portfolios that would have to be sold to free up liquidity,
meaning not all have excess liquidity. They suggested that Dinallo was
amenable to freeing up more liquidity.
They are also large issuers of annuities and have $11B of contingent
exposure in their domestic retirement services business. These are retail
but run by large sponsors who could encourage accounts to put back the
annuities in exchange for cash if they lose confidence in AIG. These
sponsors are U.S. banks who have exposure elsewhere. This could be on
top of the $18B payout above. They have similar exposures in Japan but
could not quantify the size.
Commodities: index book of $25B; swaps on futures contracts where they are
long futures contracts to hedge; post variation margin of approx. $2B to
NYMEX; also trade options on indices both plain vanilla and structured.
Also have positions in precious and industrial metals.
CDS: Mostly ABS CDO (not pay as you go, but accelerate at default); $42B
High Grade; $60B Mezz.; $20B in CMBS CDOs. Underlying consists mostly of
RMBS 2005 vintage across ratings. Material net notionals of $305B in
mortgage and corporate exposures combined. Investment Grade Corp.
arbitrage another $55B; $1.5trillion of exposure to European banks through
balance sheet CDOs.
FX: they have prime brokerage of $30B in volumes and they clear through
CLS.
Also have smaller consumer finance companies and banks across the world

Brian-
Attached is the promised memo. I found very little on the derivatives activities of
AIG, which is frustrating. They don't seem to say much in the 10-Ks/10-Qs. I will
check again in the am.
Thanks,
Bill E.

Mr. Chairman,
Staff participated in a call yesterday evening in which AIG further briefed us on the
firm's situation. The firm is requesting a loan from the Federal Reserve. We are in
the office this morning analyzing the situation. We will brief you soon.
Brian
Obvious question is what major bank counterparties think their exposures are. Given
market awareness of AIG's prblems, I see no reason not to ask the banks. Pat

Staff has been in contact with AIG (Jacob) this morning. AIG sees this as a liquidity
event and has investment bankers looking at assets this weekend but will not sell off
core assets and is not seeking a major equity injection or strategic partner. they
face the possibility of a multi-grade downgrade ffrom Moody's on Monday, which
would probably be the death knell. They were vague as to what they expected from
us except that it sounded like an open ended liquidity facility. (b) (5)
AIG will get back to us later this morning with a more
specific request for us and a more specific plan for raising cash and capital. they are
talking to the insurance commisioners at 10. (b) (5)

update: brief conversation with Jacob. Tol dhim we were "very reluctant" to open
up another 13-3 facility for an entity not even an investment bank. And that the
market thought it was not only a liquidity problem but also a capital problem. He
gave me the bridge to asset sales speech and then said he would get willumsted
and call me back. I'm waiting.
Great

Downgraded to what and why? Moody's downgraded a bunch of AIG subs because
they had guarantees from the holding company and the holding company got
downgraded.

Strange conversation. Willumsted (sp?) and Frenkel didn't seem to be aware of the
captial raise/ asset sale plan Kevin told Ben about, and of course I didn't say
anything. I told them we were "very reluctant" to open up our discount window to
them when it wasn't clear they had a good plan for getting enough capital into the
company and were depending on asset sales over along period. I said we also were
aware that we would begiving a whole new class or classes of borrowers under our
discount window umbrella. They said they had prospects for 10 b of immediate
private equity and maybe about 10 b of new liquidity from convincing dinallo to
allow them to do some sec lending from the insurance companies to the HC. they
needed 20 from us to buy time to sell selected assets, like interests in their
insurance companies. I told them to make plans as if we wouldn't be there for
them, but also to keep in touch. they seemed to think they had a week or so--
though the next few days would be tough. (b) (5)

Attached is a rough draft of the first part of our memo. I was not sure where to
stop, so I put in some discussion of the current problems (which may overlap with
Jon's discussion of liquidity in the second section) and of the possible spillovers
(which may overlap with the Nelson/Clouse discussion of the pros and cons of
lending).

This gives some insight into what S&P is thinking. S&P has a more optimistic view
than AIG on credit losses. This is about the fact that things aren't turning around
fast enough, leaving bond holders to risk.

FYI - In general, state insurance statutes allow commercial insurance underwriters to pay out
a maximum dividend amount of the greater of (1) the prior year-end net income, or (2) 10%
of the surplus as regards policyholders, without the approval of the state’s insurance
regulatory authority. State insurance regulatory authorities have the power to approve
extraordinary dividends on a case-by-case basis.

Summary of Framework for Identifying and Supervising Financially Weakened State
Member Banks and Bank Holding Companies ------------------------------------- Appendix B
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and the Federal Reserve
System (FRS) joint Troubled Company Subgroup (Subgroup) was formed in 2000.1 The
Subgroup’s objective was to compare insurance and banking regulatory frameworks for
identifying and supervising companies in weakened financial condition, and was one of
four joint subgroups established by the NAIC and the FRS to address implementation of
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act) enacted in November 1999.2 The GLB Act
facilitated the already growing integration of the insurance, banking and securities sectors
by permitting wider latitude for insurance companies, banks and securities firms to
operate within a single financial holding company (FHC), and mandated the coordinated
supervision of entities within an FHC by the financial sector regulators. The joint efforts
of the insurance and banking supervisors over the past several years have provided a
foundation for effective communication and coordination between the state insurance
departments and the FRS consistent with the GLB Act.
Topics presented and discussed by Subgroup members and guest speakers included: 1)
regulatory financial reporting frameworks; 2) off-site surveillance and monitoring
including “early warning systems” for identifying supervised companies having weak or
deteriorating financial conditions; 3) on-site examinations; 4) corrective action plans; 5)
enforcement powers; 6) risk-based capital (RBC) frameworks; 7) resolution processes for
failing and failed insurance companies and banks; and 8) the FRS’s role as umbrella
supervisor for FHCs. Separately, in connection with this initiative, staff of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) presented a summary of that agency’s resolution
procedures to the NAIC task force members. In comparing the two frameworks of law,
regulation, policy and procedures, the Subgroup members and other discussants stressed
that the specific supervisory approaches taken for any given financially weakened
insurance or banking company are dependent upon the specific facts and circumstances
as well as upon the respective supervisory frameworks.
The Subgroup found that the frameworks for identifying and supervising financially
weakened companies used by state insurance regulators and the FRS have many
similarities. For example, both the state insurance departments and the FRS:
1
The Subgroup’s initiative was conducted by staff from several state insurance departments, the NAIC, the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board) and the Federal Reserve Bank

Unless otherwise noted, the banking supervisory framework presented in this paper is the approach used
by the FRS as it pertains to state member banks and bank holding companies (BHCs). The FRS also has
supervisory responsibility for certain U.S. bank branches and certain other U.S. banking offices of foreign
banking organizations (FBOs); however, the scope of this summary does not include FBO supervision.
Additionally, the scope of this summary was generally limited to financial soundness monitoring and the
supervision of financially weakened institutions. Comparisons of frameworks for identifying and
correcting issues pertaining to compliance with consumer protection regulations were also beyond the
scope of this summary.

• generally require supervised institutions to file detailed quarterly financial
condition and income reports, related supplementary information, and
information identifying affiliated entities of an insurer or a bank;
• conduct routine off-site monitoring of supervised companies other than small,
noncomplex BHCs, in part based upon information contained in regulatory
reports, and also using market information, to assist in early identification of
financially weakened companies and in allocating on-site examination
resources;
• have minimum capital standards, including an RBC framework that requires
regulatory intervention when capital of a supervised insurance company or
insured bank falls below a designated level;3
• impose limitations on and reporting requirements related to certain
transactions within holding company systems, including certain acquisitions
of or by a supervised entity;
• may require a financially weakened, supervised company to develop written
corrective action plans and submit progress reports on compliance with plans;
and
• may take various other supervisory actions against a financially weakened
company, including imposing restrictions on activities.
The Subgroup also identified three broad phases of supervisory activities as follows:

State insurance departments and certain bank regulators are responsible for handling insurance company
and bank insolvencies, respectively; insolvencies of insurance holding companies and BHCs are handled
under federal bankruptcy laws.

BACKGROUND ON THE GLB ACT
The GLB Act amendments to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act)
authorized a qualifying bank holding company (BHC) to operate as an FHC and to
engage in a diversified range of financial activities, including insurance sales, insurance
underwriting, securities underwriting and dealing, acting as a futures commission
merchant, and engaging in merchant banking. To qualify as an FHC, each of the BHC's
depository institution subsidiaries must be well capitalized and well managed and each of
the BHC’s insured depository subsidiaries must have received at least a “Satisfactory”
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) rating in its most recent CRA examination.4
Those insurance activities that are permitted to be conducted by an FHC include insuring,
guaranteeing, or indemnifying against loss, harm, damage, illness, disability, or death;
providing and issuing annuities; and acting as principal, agent, or broker for the foregoing
activities. Permissible activities also include those that the Federal Reserve Board and
the Secretary of Treasury jointly determine to be financial in nature or incidental to
financial activities, or that the Federal Reserve Board determines are complementary to a
financial activity and do not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of
depository institutions or the financially system generally.
Under the GLB Act, state regulation of insurance is preserved. A state law applicable to
insurance may be preempted, however, if it prevents or restricts a depository institution
or a depository institution affiliate from engaging in any activity authorized under the
GLB Act. For instance, state laws relating to insurance sales, solicitation and cross-
marketing activities may not prevent or significantly interfere with the ability of a bank or
bank affiliate to engage in insurance sales activities.
With limited exceptions that existed prior to the passage of the GLB Act, insurance
underwriting activities of an FHC may only be conducted by the FHC parent company or
by a nonbank subsidiary of the FHC. A bank and its subsidiaries are generally precluded
from insurance underwriting, other than the underwriting of credit life and credit health
products. As set forth in the GLB Act, general insurance sales may be conducted by an
FHC parent company or a nonbank subsidiary of the FHC, or by a financial subsidiary of
a bank. The GLB Act did not change the authority for national or state-chartered banks
to sell or underwrite insurance directly. Federal banking laws, however, generally
continue to limit insurance underwriting activities of banks to credit-related underwriting
activities. Most state banking laws now permit state-chartered banks to sell general
insurance.
The Federal Reserve Board is the umbrella supervisor of BHCs, including FHCs. In
accordance with the GLB Act, the Federal Reserve Board is to rely to the fullest extent
possible on reports of examination made by the applicable functional securities and

insurance regulators, including for any licensed insurance company and any other
subsidiary that the Federal Reserve Board finds to be comprehensively supervised by a
federal or state authority. If information that is needed to assess the risk of a functionally
regulated subsidiary of a banking organization is not available from the functional
regulator, the Federal Reserve Board may examine a functionally regulated subsidiary of
a BHC only if: the Federal Reserve Board has reasonable cause to believe that such
subsidiary is engaged in activities that pose a material risk to an affiliated depository
institution; the Federal Reserve Board reasonably determines, after reviewing relevant
reports, that examination of the subsidiary is necessary to adequately inform the Board of
the systems for monitoring and controlling operational risks that may pose a threat to the
safety and soundness of a depository institution subsidiary of the BHC; or, based on
reports and other available information, the Federal Reserve Board has reasonable cause
to believe that the subsidiary is not in compliance with the GLB Act or any other federal
law that the Federal Reserve Board has jurisdiction to enforce against such subsidiary,
and the Federal Reserve Board cannot make such a determination through examination of
the affiliated depository institution or the bank holding company.

OVERVIEW OF FRAMEWORKS FOR SUPERVISING INSURANCE AND
BANKING ORGANIZATIONS
Insurance
The primary objective of insurance regulation is to correct market failures that would
otherwise cause insurers to incur an excessive risk of insolvency or engage in market
abuses that hurt consumers. Significant state insurance department regulatory resources
are employed to monitor market behaviors, compliance, and solvency.
Each state, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories5 are responsible for
regulating the insurance business within their own jurisdictions. Each state maintains its
own insurance department, which operates under the supervision of a commissioner,
director, or superintendent who is either appointed or elected. Some states have
combined the regulation of insurance, banking, and securities, activities under one
department or office.
The NAIC, formed in 1871, is a private, non-profit, voluntary association of the chief
insurance regulatory officials of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the four U.S
territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands). The NAIC
provides its members with a forum for discussing common interests and for working
cooperatively on regulatory matters that transcend the boundaries of their own
jurisdictions. The NAIC is not a regulatory body or a trade association, but is instead an
organization whose members consist solely of insurance regulators for the purpose of
facilitating communication and interaction among insurance regulators to enhance
insurance regulation and establish national standards, where appropriate.
The objective of the NAIC is to serve the public interest by assisting state insurance
supervisory officials, individually and collectively, in achieving the following
fundamental insurance regulatory objectives: 1) protect the public interest, promote
competitive markets and facilitate the fair and equitable treatment of insurance
consumers; 2) promote the reliability, solvency and financial solidity of insurance
institutions; and 3) support and improve state regulation of insurance. The primary
means for NAIC members to be actively involved in the association is through the NAIC
committee system. Each commissioner serves, or delegates to state insurance department
staff, the responsibility to serve on various NAIC committees, task forces and working
groups. The NAIC is committed to conducting its business openly, subject to the
discretion of the chairpersons of committees, subcommittees, tasks forces, working
groups and subgroups, who may determine those situations in which public discussions
would not be appropriate.
The NAIC coordinates and assists state solvency efforts in a number of ways, including:
1) maintaining extensive insurance databases and a computer network that are assessable
5
The fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories are collectively referred to as “states” in
this document.
5
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000212
to all state insurance departments; 2) analyzing and informing regulators as to the
financial condition of insurance companies; 3) coordinating examinations and regulatory
actions with respect to financially weakened companies; 4) establishing and certifying
states’ compliance with minimum financial regulation standards through the NAIC’s
Financial Regulations Standards and Accreditation Program (Accreditation Program); 5)
providing financial, reinsurance, actuarial, legal, computer and economic expertise to
state insurance departments; 6) valuing securities held by insurers; 7) analyzing and
listing nonadmitted alien insurers;6 8) developing uniform statutory financial statements
and accounting rules for insurers; 9) conducting education and training programs for
insurance department staff; 10) developing model laws and coordinating regulatory
policy on significant insurance issues; and 11) conducting research and providing
information on insurance and its regulation to regulators, state legislators, Congress, U.S.
government agencies, insurance regulators in other countries, and the general public.
In June 1989, the NAIC adopted the Financial Regulation Standards (the Standards), that
established baseline sound practices for an effective regulatory system in each insurance
department. The Standards are applied through a formal, voluntary certification program
administrated by the NAIC. The objective of the Accreditation Program is to provide a
process whereby solvency regulation of multi-state insurance companies can be enhanced
and adequately monitored by the states. The Standards are grouped into three areas: 1)
laws and regulations; 2) regulatory practices and procedures; and 3) organizational and
personnel practices. Under this Accreditation Program, an independent team of
experienced consultants reviews each insurance department’s compliance with the
Standards at least every five years. All states have enacted legislation designed to
achieve compliance with the Standards, and as a result, insurance department budgets and
staffing have increased significantly. As of March 1, 2005, 49 states and the District of
Columbia were accredited under the Accreditation Program.
6
A nonadmitted insurer is a company not licensed by a state to sell insurance policies within the state.
Alien insurers are those formed according to the legal requirements of a foreign country. In order for an
alien insurer to conduct operations and sell its products in a particular state, the insurer must conform to the
state’s rules and regulations governing insurance companies. A nonadmitted alien insurer may be allowed
to write on a surplus lines basis if it complies with the state’s eligibility requirements. To assist states in
their review of nonadmitted alien insurers, the NAIC produces a Quarterly Listing of Nonadmitted Alien
Insurers (the Listing). If an insurer appears in the Listing, it has filed specified documents with the NAIC
International Insurers Department (IID) and, based upon these documents and other information, appears to
fulfill the criteria for eligibility set forth by the NAIC. Several states utilize the Listing to some capacity
within their respective state statutes or regulations in relation to their eligibility requirements.
6
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000213
declared a local matter rather than commerce between the states. By 1870, many of the
states had appointed a state official to oversee insurance.
The states issue a number of different insurance company license types, including life and
health, and property and casualty licenses. The states also issue insurance producer
license types, including broker, independent agents, managing general agents, and
general agent licenses.7 Reinsurers may either be authorized or licensed to write
reinsurance business depending on the states laws and regulations. Under state insurance
law, provided the owner meets certain criteria through the regulatory approval process,
there are very few outright restrictions on a licensed insurer’s ownership by, or affiliation
with, other financial or non-financial companies. An exception is the general prohibition
on foreign government ownership of an insurer.
State insurance law does not provide for consolidated supervision of the insurance
holding company or the parent holding company. However, an insurance company is
subject to state restrictions and disclosures regarding inter-affiliate relationships, and
change in ownership is subject to state insurance department approval. Under state law, a
licensed insurance company is generally authorized to own subsidiaries that conduct
insurance or insurance-related business activities, including real estate management and
real estate development. Investments in higher risk activities are limited by state statutes
and indirectly through statutory RBC minimum standards.
State insurance regulators have recognized a growing need to more fully coordinate their
regulatory efforts with other state insurance regulators, including efforts for sharing
confidential supervisory information. Historically, there has been significant
coordination with respect to supervising financially weakened companies; similar efforts
are also underway to focus on holding company systems or insurance groups that are
financially strong. In 2000, the NAIC formed the Insurance Holding Company (E)
Working Group (IHCWG) in an effort to document a framework for information sharing
and coordination of regulatory processes for analyzing insurance holding companies and
their insurance subsidiaries. The NAIC Framework for Insurance Holding Company
7
An independent agent is a contractor who represents more than one insurance company when placing a
client’s business. A general agent is a person appointed by one insurer who is responsible for insurance

recruiting and training agents, and providing administrative support.
7
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000214
Regulation (Framework) is the result of the IHCWG’s work. The Framework provides
guidance for state insurance regulators to understand the holding company structure of
insurers operating in their state, as well as to coordinate their supervisory approaches for
reviewing holding company transactions that may impact insurance subsidiaries
domiciled in multiple jurisdictions. Currently, this Framework is in the implementation
stage.
Banking
The FRS is the primary federal banking regulator for state member banks. It also has
supervisory authority for all U.S. bank holding companies. In the U.S., commercial
banks are either federally chartered by the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) as
national banks, or are chartered by a state. National banks are supervised by the OCC
and are members of the FRS. State-chartered banks that are members of the FRS are
referred to as state member banks, and are supervised by both the applicable state
banking department(s) and the FRS. A state bank that does not choose to become a
member of the FRS is referred to as a state nonmember bank and is supervised by both
the applicable state banking department(s) and the FDIC. The OCC, FRS and FDIC are
the primary federal bank supervisors for national banks, state member banks and state
nonmember banks, respectively. A “dual banking system” exists in the U.S. whereby
state-chartered banks have both a federal bank and a state bank regulator(s).8 Therefore,
the FRS actively coordinates its supervision of state member banks with the applicable
state banking department(s).
Prior Federal Reserve Board approval is required for a company to initially become a
BHC or for an existing BHC to acquire control of, or more than five percent of a class of
voting securities of, additional BHCs or banks. Relevant federal statutes state that
control of a BHC or bank exists when a company has (i) ownership, control, or power to
vote 25 percent or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the
BHC or bank, directly or indirectly or acting through one or more other persons; (ii)
control in any manner over the election of a majority of the directors, trustees, or general
partners (or individuals exercising similar functions) of the BHC or bank; or (iii) the
power to exercise, directly or indirectly, a controlling influence over the management or
policies of the BHC or bank. A company includes corporations, partnerships,
associations, certain trusts, and similar organizations. Also, non-financial firms generally
are prohibited from controlling banks and thus are prohibited from owning 25 percent or
more of the voting stock of a bank.
The FRS has supervisory authority over BHCs, including those that are FHCs, and
supervises these entities on a consolidated basis. The FRS supervisory approach reflects
the “source of strength” doctrine, which asserts that a BHC should serve as a source of
financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks, within certain constraints. This
doctrine was reconfirmed in the GLB Act, except that the Act indicates that the FRS
cannot require a BHC that is an insurance company, or an insurance company that is an
8

8
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000215
affiliate of a depository institution, to provide funds or other assets to the affiliated
depository institution if the state insurance authority makes a determination, in writing,
that such action would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the
insurance company.
The FRS is comprised of 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks under the general oversight
of the Federal Reserve Board, which is located in Washington, D.C. The Federal Reserve
Board and its staff develop FRS regulations and policies. The Federal Reserve Board is
an independent government agency overseen by 7 board members, including the Federal
Reserve Board Chairman and Vice Chairman, all of whom are appointed by the president
and confirmed by the Senate. Each Federal Reserve Board member is appointed to serve
a 14-year term, or if replacing a board member whose term has not yet expired, to serve
the remainder of the previous board member’s 14-year term. The Federal Reserve Board
Chairman has a 4-year term, and may be reappointed.
Additionally, in carrying out its role as the consolidated supervisor for BHCs, including
FHCs, the FRS also relies on and coordinates its supervisory activities with, as
appropriate, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission, and state insurance and securities regulators.

TOOLS FOR IDENTIFYING FINANCIALLY WEAKENED INSTITUTIONS
Insurance
Financial Reporting
The NAIC reporting requirements have evolved considerably since its annual statement
introduction in 1879. All states require an insurer to use the NAIC annual and quarterly
statement reporting forms to satisfy their statutory financial statement filing
requirements, except that states may exempt an insurer from this requirement, as
appropriate. The complete annual statement filing currently includes a balance sheet,
income statement, statement of cash flow, notes to financial statements, general
interrogatories,9 and a significant number of supporting details in various exhibits,
schedules and supplemental filings. Some of the more important exhibits and schedules
provide information about: investment income and realized gains and losses; nonadmitted
assets; Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve; premiums and losses;
expenses; long-term investments in bonds, preferred stock, common stock, real estate,
mortgage loans, and other investments; derivatives; short-term investments; cash and
cash equivalents; reinsurance; and transactions with affiliates. Supplemental filings are
also required of most insurers, such as the actuarial opinion, the management’s discussion
and analysis, the annual audited financial report, and the RBC report. Other
supplemental filings include specialty information such as the Medicare supplement
report, the credit insurance report, and the long-term care report. Since December 31,
2003, insurers are also required to report affiliations with a BHC, bank, thrift or securities
firm; to provide the names of each such affiliate; and to identify the relevant federal
regulators of each insurer’s financial institution affiliate. In addition to the annual
statements, most insurers also are required to file the NAIC quarterly statement reporting
form that contains key information on assets and liabilities; income and surplus; changes
in investments; reinsurance; premiums written; losses and reserves.

General interrogatories are limited-scope questions regarding an insurer and its financial position and
operations.

Solvency Screening and Financial Analysis Systems
The domiciliary state is relied upon as the primary solvency regulator. When there are
concerns about the financial condition of an insurer, communications between the
domiciliary state and the other states in which the company is licensed are increased.
However, any state in which a company is licensed to conduct insurance business may
perform its own monitoring, financial examinations, and may take regulatory action, as
appropriate.
FAST System
The FAST System is a collection of analytical tools designed to provide state insurance
regulators with an integrated approach to screening and analyzing the financial condition
of insurance companies. The following are three key tools within the FAST System:
IRIS has served as a baseline solvency screening system for the NAIC and state
regulators since the mid-1970s. IRIS is designed to help regulators prioritize
insurers for detailed financial analysis. The “statistical phase” of IRIS involves
11
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000218
calculating a series of financial ratios for each insurer based on its annual
statement data. The IRIS ratio results are available to the public. Because the
ratios by themselves are not indicative of adverse financial condition, an
experienced team of state insurance examiners and analysts (Analyst Team)
reviews the IRIS ratio results and various other financial information in the
“analytical phase” of IRIS, called the Analyst Team System (ATS).
For the ATS, the Analyst Team meets annually at the NAIC Executive
Headquarters to identify insurers that appear to require immediate regulatory
attention in order to assist state insurance regulators in prioritizing their annual
financial analysis reviews of insurers. The Analyst Team reviews a computer-
selected priority listing of insurers that may be experiencing weak or declining
financial results. It then validates the listing based on further analysis of those
companies, and provides a brief synopsis of its findings in a document that can be
accessed only by state insurance regulators and authorized NAIC staff.
2) Scoring System
The Scoring System is based on several financial ratios and is similar in concept
to IRIS ratios. The Scoring System, however, includes a broader range of
financial ratios and assigns a score to each ratio based on the level of solvency
concern each result generates. The ratio results and scores are available only to
state insurance regulators and authorized NAIC staff. The Scoring System is
evaluated and updated, as appropriate, by the Financial Analysis Research and
Development Working Group on an annual basis.
The Insurer Profiles System produces quarterly and annual profiles reports on
property and casualty, life and health insurers. These profiles provide either a
quarterly or annual five-year summary of a company’s financial position. The
Insurer Profile reports provide not only a snapshot of the company's financial
statement, but also include analytical tools such as financial ratios and industry
aggregate information that can be used in an analyst's review of the company.
Insurer Profile reports can assist state insurance department analysts in identifying
unusual fluctuations, trends or changes in the mix of an insurer's assets, liabilities,
capital and surplus and operations.
As a check and balance on the solvency screening efforts conducted by the states, a peer
review process was created. The objective of the NAIC’s peer review process conducted
by the FAWG is to monitor whether domiciliary regulators are taking appropriate and
effective supervisory action with respect to nationally significant insurers that are in
financial difficulty. The FAWG is made up of commissioner appointed members from
sixteen states.
12
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000219
On a quarterly basis, the NAIC’s Financial Regulatory Services Division staff identifies
nationally significant insurers for review using analytical criteria. Division financial
analysts perform preliminary reviews of identified insurers and then select insurers that
warrant more in-depth reviews. For those insurers, the FAWG will review the analysts’
reports and then query the domiciliary state on various aspects of each insurer’s financial
condition and any regulatory actions being taken. If the FAWG determines that the
domiciliary regulator is taking appropriate actions, then the FAWG may close the file or
continue to monitor the company. If the FAWG determines that further measures are
desirable, it will recommend the appropriate corrective action to the domiciliary state. If
the domiciliary regulators fail to follow the FAWG’s recommendation, the FAWG will
alert other affected states accordingly and coordinate their supervisory response.
The purpose of a financial condition examination is to: 1) detect insurers with potential
weaknesses; 2) determine compliance with state statutes and regulations; and 3) compile
information needed for timely, appropriate regulatory action. On-site financial condition
examinations of insurers are either full-scope or limited-scope examinations. The full-
scope examination is considered a comprehensive examination with an overall objective
to report on the company’s financial position and affairs. A limited-scope examination,
often referred to as a target examination, is conducted to review specific financial
accounts and or specific areas of the company’s operations.
State laws and regulations, as guided by the Accreditation Program, require the states to
conduct a full-scope examination for each multi-state domestic company at least once
every five years. Individual state statutes may require financial condition examinations
more often, and several states impose a three-year requirement. Limited-scope
examinations do not satisfy the NAIC Accreditation Standards to conduct financial
condition examinations at least once every five years. However, failing to conduct
limited-scope examinations for financial weakened companies may impact the results of
the accreditation review.
13
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000220
to verify the company’s solvency and determine whether the company has complied with
state laws and regulations. In general, financial condition examinations shall at least
encompass a review of all of the following matters: 1) company history; 2) management
and control; 3) corporate records; 4) fidelity bonds and other insurance; 5) officers’,
employees’, and agents’ welfare and pension plans; 6) territory and plan of operation; 7)
growth of company; 8) business in force by states; 9) mortality and loss experience; 10)
reinsurance; 11) accounts and records; and 12) financial statements. Examinations are
conducted using a risk-based approach, whereby those areas identified as more likely to
be prone to material financial reporting error are accorded greater attention during both
the examination planning phase and the on-site examination.
The state financial condition examination process also places emphasis on the quality of
the company’s internal control structure. This requires the state examiners to assess the
internal control environment based on interviews with company management and
personnel and other control testing procedures. On occasion, state insurance departments
will engage outside experts to evaluate and test the effectiveness of internal controls (e.g.,
information system controls). The financial condition examination process also considers
the work performed by external, independent CPAs as well as the work of internal
auditors.
Fixed minimum capital and surplus standards for licensing and operating an insurance
company typically range in the area of $2 million to $5 million for a multi-line life and
health or property and casualty insurer. Because of the limitations of fixed minimum
capital standards, the NAIC adopted the Risk-based Capital (RBC) for Insurers Model
Act. To be accredited, a state is required to adopt a substantially similar version of the
Model Act, which contains separate formulas for life and health insurers and property and
casualty insurers, and prescribes regulatory action to be taken if an insurer’s Total
Adjusted Capital declines below certain thresholds. The stated objectives of the NAIC
RBC requirements are to provide a standard of capital adequacy that: 1) is related to risk;
2) raises the safety net for insurers; 3) is uniform among states; and 4) provides authority
for regulatory action when actual capital falls below the standard. The model act
specifies four levels of company and regulatory action, with more severe action required
at lower levels.
The NAIC’s life and health RBC formula encompasses six major categories of risk: 1)
asset risk — affiliates; 2) asset risk – common stock; 3) asset risk — other; 4) insurance
14
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000221
or pricing risk; 5) interest-rate risk and health credit risk and 6) business risk. The risks
addressed by the NAIC’s property and casualty formula include: 1) asset risk —
subsidiary insurance companies; 2) asset risk — fixed income; 3) asset risk — equity; 4)
asset risk — credit; 5) underwriting risk — reserves; and 6) underwriting risk — net
written premium.
The FDR database contains the most recent 10 years of annual and quarterly financial
statement information for the approximately 5,200 U.S. insurance companies. This
database provides source data for reports on individual companies and for analytical
tools, such as the FAST System.
The VOS database contains credit quality designations and fair values for insurers'
securities that are not rated and monitored by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating
Organization (NRSRO). This database, combined with NRSRO ratings data, allows
regulators to assess the relative credit risk of the securities owned and reported by
insurers.
State insurance regulators and NAIC staff also use an electronic mail system on the
NAIC’s computer network to communicate and coordinate supervisory developments
with respect to examinations, regulatory actions, financially weakened companies, and a
variety of other matters.
15
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000222
Banking (State Member Banks and BHCs)
Financial Reporting
All banks, including state member banks, are required to file quarterly regulatory reports
known as FFIEC Call Reports consisting of consolidated balance sheets, income
statements, RBC data and selected supplementary financial information. All BHCs are
also required to file periodic regulatory reports. Those BHCs with consolidated assets
over $150 million, and BHCs below that threshold that are categorized by the FRS as
“complex,” are required to file consolidated balance sheets, income statements and RBC
data, as well as parent company financial statements, on a quarterly basis. BHCs under
$150 million that are non-complex BHCs are required to file parent company only
financial statements semi-annually, but are not required to file fully consolidated
financial reports. Additionally, all BHC are required to file periodic regulatory reports
detailing certain intercompany transactions and balances between a bank and its nonbank
affiliates; balance sheet and income statement data for certain of its domestic, non-
functionally regulated nonbank subsidiaries and certain foreign domiciled bank and non-
bank subsidiaries; and reports of new activities commenced. There are a number of other
regulatory reports that must be filed by state member banks and BHCS.11
The FRS off-site surveillance program is designed to monitor the financial condition and
performance of individual state member banks and BHCs on a quarterly basis to facilitate
identifying deterioration in the condition of companies between on-site examinations and
inspections. Monitoring is accomplished, in part, through the use of automated screening
systems and econometric models. These tools rely significantly on data reported on
standardized regulatory reports and from the findings of on-site examinations. The
surveillance program takes into consideration a number of aspects of banking
performance, including capital adequacy, asset growth, loan quality and loan
concentrations, liquidity, and capital markets activities. These surveillance results,
produced by Federal Reserve Board staff, are distributed to the Federal Reserve Banks
for further review, analysis, and follow-up.
FRS Surveillance screens incorporate the results of two econometric models, together
known as the System for Estimating Examination Ratings (SEER).12 The SEER risk rank
model estimates the probability that a bank will become critically undercapitalized within
the next two years. The SEER rating model estimates a bank’s composite CAMELS

The SEER system developed by a FRS Surveillance Task Force was formerly known as the Financial
Institutions Monitoring System (FIMS). The SEER models have been updated since they were first
implemented, but a detailed description of the econometric frameworks used is contained in an article by
Rebel Cole, Barbara Cornyn and Jeff Gunther in the Federal Reserve Bulletin, volume 81, number 1,

rating based upon Call Report data and examination rating information. The surveillance
screening results are strictly confidential.
The FRS’s safety and soundness examinations of state member banks and inspections of
BHCs are focused on determining the financial condition and performance of an
institution, and on evaluating management, internal controls and the risk management
structure. The Federal Reserve is required to conduct a full-scope, on-site examination of
every insured state member bank at least once during each 12-month period, with the
exception that certain small institutions may be examined once during each 18-month
period. The frequency of BHC inspections is determined by the size, condition, and
complexity of the BHC.
FHCs are generally supervised similarly to any other BHC with a focus on understanding
and assessing the quality of centralized risk management and control processes for key

business lines, as well as understanding the intra-group exposures and risk concentrations
across all business lines. To supervise a diversified BHC, the FRS relies to the extent
possible on, and coordinates with, the appropriate functional regulators.
Financial safety and soundness examinations and inspections generally include a review
of compliance with a wide range of laws and regulations. In addition, the FRS also
conducts consumer compliance examinations of state member banks to determine
adherence with applicable consumer protection laws and regulations and assigns a
compliance examination rating. Depository institutions, including state member banks
supervised by the FRS, are also evaluated for their compliance with the CRA and
assigned a separate CRA rating. An institution’s CRA rating is publicly available.
The Basel Capital Accord (Basel I), the current international framework for bank capital
adequacy, was adopted in 1988 by the G-10 group of central banks and other national
supervisory authorities, working through the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.14
The FRS and the other federal banking agencies implemented an RBC approach for U.S.
banking organizations in 1989. The fundamental objectives of Basel I are to promote the
soundness and stability of the international banking system and to provide an equitable
basis for international competition among banks. More specifically, Basel I sets forth
RBC standards intended to assist in the assessment of capital adequacy of depository
institutions. Other key objectives of the standards were to: 1) make regulatory capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks; 2) factor off-
balance sheet exposures into the assessment of capital adequacy; 3) minimize
disincentives to holding liquid, low-risk assets; and 4) achieve greater consistency in the
evaluation of the capital of the major banks throughout the world.15
Under the Basel I framework, capital adequacy is assessed primarily in relation to credit
risk with the other risks addressed implicitly. In 1996, Basel I was amended to take
explicit account of market risk in trading accounts (i.e., the risk of loss due to a change in
market prices, such as equity prices or interest or exchange rates).
Under the Basel I framework, a bank (and, in the U.S., generally a BHC with
consolidated assets greater than $150 million) is required to have regulatory capital, as
measured by combinations of equity, allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL),
qualified subordinated debt, and certain other instruments, at least equal to 8 percent of
14
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision was established in 1974 comprising members from the
central banks or other supervisory authorities of Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.
15
Additional detail and background on the FRS’s and the NAIC’s RBC approaches can be found in the
Report of the NAIC and the Federal Reserve System Joint Subgroup on Risk-Based Capital and Regulatory
Arbitrage, dated May 24, 2002.

the amount of its risk-weighted assets. For the calculation, assets are weighted according
to the level of perceived risk, and each off-balance sheet exposure is converted to an on-
balance sheet equivalent, and then risk-weighted. Assets and off-balance sheet
equivalents are generally risk-weighted at 100, 50, 20, or 0 percent. This measure is
referred to as the total RBC ratio.
Another measure of capital adequacy used in the banking organization RBC framework is
the Tier 1 RBC ratio. The Tier 1 RBC ratio is a more conservative measure that
generally excludes debt instruments and the ALLL from the capital numerator. To be
adequately capitalized, a U.S. banking organization must have a minimum Tier 1 RBC
ratio of 4 percent. In addition, banking organizations are subject to a leverage ratio
measure to evaluate capital adequacy. The leverage ratio, which is calculated as equity
capital as a percentage of average balance sheet assets, is also used to evaluate capital
adequacy.
Currently, a revised RBC framework referred to as the Basel II Capital Accord is in the
process of being implemented by U.S. and many foreign bank regulators. The objectives
for reform include improving risk measurement and management; linking, more
precisely, the amount of minimum regulatory capital to the amount of risk taken; further
focusing the dialogue between supervisors and a banking organization on the
measurement and management of risk and the connection between risk and capital; and
increasing market discipline through enhanced transparency.16
As a result of the bank failures in the late 1980s and the rapid depletion of the federal
deposit insurance fund, Congress mandated a PCA framework in the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA). This act requires federal
bank regulators to administer timely corrective action to a bank when its capital position
is deemed to have declined below certain threshold levels. The PCA framework specifies
mandatory actions that regulators must take if capital ratios fall below certain thresholds,
as well as discretionary actions that may be taken.17
Under the PCA statute and accompanying regulations, a bank is assigned to one of five
capital categories based primarily on the capital ratios reported in the quarterly FFIEC
Call Reports. Four of the five PCA capital categories – “well capitalized,” “adequately
capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” and “significantly undercapitalized,” are based on three
capital adequacy ratios: the total RBC ratio, the Tier 1 RBC ratio, and the leverage ratio.
The most severe capital category, “critically undercapitalized,” is determined by a bank’s

tangible equity ratio, which measures the equity capital to assets ratios excluding
intangible assets from the numerator and the denominator.
In accordance with FDICIA, a BHC must guarantee its subsidiary bank’s capital
restoration plan and provide appropriate assurances of performance. Additionally, the
cross-guarantee provision of FDICIA requires that, generally, any insured depository
institution is liable for losses to the FDIC arising from the default of a commonly
controlled insured depository institution. This provision was implemented, in part, to
avoid the potential adverse effect of a bank shifting bad assets into a failing affiliate bank
and thereby increasing the cost to the FDIC insurance fund.
The Federal Reserve Board maintains the National Information Center (NIC), a
repository for both bank structure, financial, and confidential supervisory data for all
commercial banks and BHCs. Additionally, the Central Document Text Repository
(CDTR) is the repository for the electronic versions of commercial bank examination and
BHC inspection reports, as well as other confidential supervisory documents. Front-end
systems are available to authorized FRS staff for accessing these databases containing
both publicly available and confidential supervisory information.

APPROACHES FOR SUPERVISING A FINANCIALLY WEAKENED
COMPANY
The state insurance regulators and the FRS each have enforcement powers to support
their ability to carry out their supervisory responsibilities, and both are subject to laws
that require the regulator to take specified corrective action based on RBC thresholds for
supervised insurers and supervised state member banks, respectively.
21
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000228
The Federal Reserve System
The FRS employs a range of tools to identify and address a supervised bank or BHC
exhibiting emerging problems or weakened financial condition in order to maintain a
sound banking system, minimize potential losses to the FDIC insurance fund, and
facilitate the institution’s return to financial health, if possible. Routinely, a summary of
examiner findings and expected actions is conveyed to the banking organization
following each targeted review of a particular business line or business activity, as well
as in an examination report that summarizes the key findings of the reviews conducted
during the 12- to 18- month examination cycle. For those institutions whose problems
warrant additional supervisory action, a range of informal and formal supervisory actions
is available, in addition to the PCA measures for banks described above.
Formal corrective actions, including Written Agreements and Cease and Desist Orders,
are authorized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act) to correct violations of
law and unsafe or unsound practices. These agreements and orders may require a
depository institution, a BHC, certain other entities, and any institution-affiliated party,
including any director, officer, employee or controlling shareholder to take affirmative
action to correct deficiencies or to cease engaging in the violations or other unsafe or
unsound practices. Written Agreements and Cease and Desist Orders are made publicly
available. They may include measures designed to improve a bank’s capital and asset
quality by placing restrictions on dividends, requiring the employment of more qualified
management and improved oversight by the bank’s board of directors. Written
Agreements and Cease and Desist Orders against BHCs may also include requirements
for capital infusions to an undercapitalized FDIC-insured subsidiary bank; restrictions on
additional debt, dividends, and inter-corporate transactions; and the termination of certain
nonbank activities that constitute violations of law or unsafe or unsound banking
practices.
In cases where specific violations or practices are likely to cause insolvency, cause
dissipation of assets or earnings, weaken the condition of the institution, or prejudice the
depositors’ interests, the FRS may issue a Temporary Cease and Desist Order to address
these violations or practices. A Temporary Cease and Desist Order requires the banking
organization to take or cease specific actions and remains in effect pending the outcome
of an administrative hearing on the issues. Temporary Cease and Desist Orders are

The SEC requires publicly traded companies to make public disclosure of certain material information
that may affect the securities markets. A publicly traded financial institution, therefore, may be required to
disclose the existence of certain informal actions taken by the FRS if the actions are deemed to be material.
22
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000229
generally not made public by the FRS. In the event that an institution does not consent to
supervisory action, the FRS may issue a Notice of Charges to initiate litigation.
The FRS is authorized by the FDI Act to suspend or remove institution-affiliated parties
who have engaged in a violation of law, an unsafe or unsound practice, or a breach of
fiduciary duty, which has caused a bank to suffer a financial loss or other damages or has
resulted in a gain to the individual, and that involves personal dishonesty or demonstrates
continuing or willful disregard for the safety and soundness of the institution.
Notwithstanding these enforcement powers, the GLB Act prohibits the Federal Reserve
Board from requiring an insurance company that is a BHC or an insurance company that
is a subsidiary of a BHC to provide capital to a depository institution subsidiary of the
BHC if the state insurance authority determines, in writing, that such a funds transfer
would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the insurance company.
Additionally, the GLB Act generally prohibits the Federal Reserve Board from taking
enforcement action against an insurance company, unless the action is necessary to
prevent or redress a practice that poses a material risk to an affiliated depository
institution or to the domestic or international payments system, and it is not reasonably
possible to protect against the material risk through action directed at the depository
institution.19

These provisions are codified at 12 U.S.C. 1844(g) and 12 U.S.C. 1848a, respectively.
23
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000230
RECEIVERSHIP AND LIQUIDATION
Both state insurance regulators and banking regulators have statutory requirements for
receiverships and liquidations of supervised entities. State receivership and liquidation
laws vary to some degree. For a state insurance department to be accredited by the
NAIC, a state must have laws that substantially conform to the NAIC Model
Receivership Act.
Conservation — This term has different meanings in different jurisdictions. The scope
of conservation efforts can vary from a seizure of certain assets to rehabilitation.
The nature, timing, and extent of regulatory action in any given troubled company
situation depends, in part, on the applicable jurisdiction’s laws and regulations to which
24
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000231
the insurance company is subject, as well as the circumstances of the particular situation.
State insurance law may use different terms to refer to essentially similar actions, and the
actions that are available to an insurance department differ among the states.
When an insurer is found to be insolvent and is ordered liquidated, the guaranty funds are
the source of last resort to provide protection for the insurer’s policyholders and
claimants. Not all policy obligations, however, are covered. For those that are covered,
statutory limits apply. Additionally, not all policyholders and claimants are covered.
Bank Supervisors
In the event that a commercial bank is formally declared insolvent by its chartering
agency (a state banking department or the OCC), the chartering agency and the applicable
federal regulator — the FRS, OCC, or the FDIC, in its supervision capacity — generally
no longer have any responsibility for supervising the bank. Federal statutes name the
FDIC as receiver and outline the process of a bank receivership and liquidation as well as
the prioritization of claims. The amount of FDIC insurance coverage of $100,000 per
depositor is uniform nationwide in the event of a bank insolvency. Deposits of larger
amounts have priority over all other non-depositor creditors.
In the event that all of a BHC’s insured depository institutions are placed into
receivership, the company is no longer a BHC, and, therefore, is no longer supervised by
the FRS. The FRS generally has no role in the liquidation of a BHC or a company that
was formerly a BHC. Such liquidations are administered in accordance with federal
bankruptcy laws.
25
BOG-- FOIA 10-251 --000232
CONCLUSION
This joint initiative has advanced the insurance and banking regulators’ understanding of
each other’s approaches for identifying and supervising financially weakened institutions
and enhances coordination between the state insurance departments and the FRS,
consistent with the GLB Act mandates for supervision of FHCs. In addition, many other
efforts between the FRS and the state insurance supervisors, including the
implementation of Memoranda of Understanding now in place between most state
insurance departments and the Federal Reserve Board for sharing appropriate
confidential, supervisory information and consumer complaints, as envisioned in the
GLB Act,20 have fostered effective coordination of supervisory activities. These
accomplishments represent significant milestones in the achievement of effective
cooperation between banking and insurance regulators.
20
Other initiatives include the completion of a report mapping risks arising from insurance company
activities into the standard FRS bank supervisory risk categories. See the report by the NAIC and the
Federal Reserve System Joint Subgroup on Financial Issues, Identification and Mapping of Insurance Risks
into the Federal Reserve System’s Defined Banking Risks, dated June 10, 2003.

Colleagues,
We need very quickly to draft the section on solvency. It does not need to be long
or detailed, but needs to get across the most recent reported figures and our basic
judgment about the firm's solvency. (b) (5)

LONDON: American International Group, the world's biggest insurer, is planning a $20
billion asset sell-off as it fights to correct a slump in its shares and braces for the impact of
Hurricane Ike, a London based newspaper said. The newspaper, without citing sources, said
details of the plan could come as early as Monday.
It said assets under the hammer included Transatlantic Holdings, AIG's New York-listed
reinsurance group, and that Europe's Swiss Re and Munich Re were potential buyers. AIG
and Swiss Re could not immediately be reached for comment.
Munich Re declined to comment. A source familiar with developments said that AIG could
announce details of its turnaround plan much sooner than expected, including possible asset
sales and how it will shore up capital. Media reports on Friday said that AIG could hold an
investor call as early as Monday, and that the insurer had hired JPMorgan to advise it on
raising fresh capital.
AIG has been hit hard by the global credit crunch and its shares plunged as much as 34.5
per cent on Friday, stepping up the pressure for quick action. A portfolio of credit default
swaps AIG wrote to guarantee securities linked to subprime mortgages has triggered
cumulative losses of $18 billion over the past 3 quarters.

Subject Pros and Cons on AIG lending
2. A spreadsheet provided by AIG detailing the firms with the largest exposures to
AIG (i.e. what firms stand to lose in the event of AIG default). The relevant column
is "Total Exposure to AIG, Ranked". With the exception of the "lending" column,
these figures are loss estimates. Derivative loss estimates are derived from current
MTM provided by AIG.

Subject Pros and Cons on AIG lending
Duplicate
The capital injection plan that AIG and NYSID outlined earlier for us is now in
serious doubt, due to withdrawal of one of the private equity investors, (b) (4)
That plan combined private equity investment with asset sales, upstreaming of
assets from P&C insurance subs to the parent, and a "wrap" of their GICs by
(b) (4) to prevent the need to post collateral.
In the new plan, (b) (4) would provide equity jointly with (b) (4) We
have very few details, but on the surface, it appears to be closer to a takeover
offer. Effectively AIG would increase their shares outstanding by more than 100%,
allowing (b) (4) to control the firm. The offer is also contingent upon
AIG getting access to Fed lending facilities. AIG believes the offer is not realistic --
both from an equity delusion standpoint and based on their conversations with us.
They will keep us updated on future developments.
Bill,
Here is something that you may find helpful for the memo. Given the email
Trish just sent we may need to get it ready again.

Call from Frankel and Willumsted tonight renewing request for FR credit. Main
points: Expect downgrade tomorrow which will accelerate demand for collateral.
Probably enough liquidity to get to Weds., but not much further. Need 50 b
liquidity. Have 8, can get 15 more out of insurance subs, but would only be
approved if part of plan to get back to health. Board rejected (b) (4) offer, which
he described as, in effect, 10b of equity in exchange for 60 percent of the companya
nd conditioned on access to Fed window. (Also would fire board and upper
management.) Board voted to authorize sale of subs if necessary to repay FR credit
(b) (5) Two asset sales in negotiation for
combined 11-13 b, but neither are sure and both would require regualtory approvals
and hence take months. (b) (4) talking a bout 10b equity, but very vague.
portrayed access to FR credit as necessary to enable equity raise. Notjhing to
announce tomorrow morning.
(b) (5)
I was completley
noncommital--didn't comment at all on request. Simply said I would relay
conversation to colleagues. Willing to talk tonight, Tim, if you think it's necessary.
Otherwise we should consult tomorrow morning. Don

Subject: News re: AIG, facing liquidity crunch, seeking loan from Fed
Date: 09/15/2008 08:50 AM
Business Insurance
NEW YORK—Insurer American International Group Inc., working to stave off rating
downgrades and shore up the capital of its holding company, has made an unprecedented
approach to the Federal Reserve seeking short-term financing, media reports said.
Chief Executive Robert Willumstad reached out to the Fed late on Sunday, according to the
Wall Street Journal and business news channel CNBC. The New York Times reported
Sunday evening that AIG was seeking $40 billion in aid to avoid a downgrade from credit
rating agencies.
The Fed normally oversees monetary policy and supervision of banks, but CNBC said AIG
was seeking the funds as a temporary measure and planned to repay the Fed with the
proceeds from asset sales.
The company, until recently the world's biggest insurer by market capitalization, has been
attempting to hammer out an emergency strategic plan after its shares fell nearly 50% last
week on fears it faced a liquidity crisis.
AIG has been negotiating with various parties including officials from the New York
Insurance Department and private equity firms as it seeks ways to free up capital, raise new
capital and protect policyholders.
Regulators including New York Insurance Superintendent Eric Dinallo have been holed up
at AIG's New York offices over the past two days trying to hammer out a plan.
Former AIG CEO Maurice "Hank" Greenberg, who ran the company for nearly four
decades, was not involved in any of the discussions, said his spokesman, Glen Rochkind.
AIG, hit by $18 billion in losses over the past three quarters from guarantees it wrote on
mortgage derivatives, has had to act quickly after Standard & Poor's said on Friday it may
downgrade AIG's ratings.
Ratings downgrades could force AIG to post up to $14.5 billion more in collateral,
according to a regulatory filing last month.
Downgrades could also be detrimental to AIG's insurance business, since some policies
carry clauses that nullify a contract in the event of downgrades below a certain level.
Over the weekend, the insurer has been working on a three-part plan involving asset sales,
shifting regulated capital from the insurance operations to the holding company, and
working with private equity investors, said a person familiar with the negotiations.
Parties in capital-raising talks with AIG included buyout firms Kohlberg Kravis Roberts &
Co (KKR.UL) and J.C. Flowers & Co, another person familiar with the talks said.
An AIG spokesman earlier confirmed the company was evaluating a wide range of options,
including asset sales.
Media reports have said that one of the companies on the block was AIG's highly profitable
aircraft leasing arm, but the spokesman declined to confirm this was the case.
In late June, AIG said the unit, International Lease Finance Corp, would remain part of
AIG.
AIG was founded in China 89 years ago. In the years since, largely under Mr. Greenberg's
watch, it grew into one of the world's largest insurers, spanning 130 countries and territories
and serving 74 million customers.
Mr. Greenberg stepped down in 2005, in the midst of an accounting scandal. His successor,
Greenberg owns or controls about 12% of AIG's stock, making him the largest shareholder.

Re: AIG commercial paper outstandings
Alejandro,
Please find attached some data on unsecured commercial paper outstanding and
yields for AIG Funding Inc. AIG also sponsors two ABCP programs, and an affiliate
of AIG sponsored an SIV not included in the file. The two ABCP programs and the
SIV combine for less commercial paper outstanding than AIG itself. We will try to
get more info about these last three programs over the course of the morning.
As previously, this message and the data attached are internal FR - confidential.
Please make sure to encrypt if forwarding is necessary.

The up-front cost of insuring $10 million of AIG's debt for five years jumped to $3 05 million from $1 3 million on Friday, in addition to annual payments of $500,000,
according to Markit Intraday
The insurer, which has incurred $18 billion in losses over the past three quarters from guarantees it wrote on mortgage derivatives, was hit on Friday by Standard & Poor's
putting the company's credit ratings on negative watch, indicating a possible downgrade
Over the weekend, AIG executives and New York state insurance regulators scrambled to hatch a plan that would boost AIG's liquidity
It was not clear early on Monday when AIG would reach a plan A spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment
AIG shares have fallen about 80% since the start of the year
Several analysts, in research reports on Monday, warned that the company is unlikely to resemble itself after a much-anticipated restructuring AIG has been considering "a
wide range of options," the company said, including selling off valuable assets
AIG, until recently the world's largest insurer, does business in 130 countries and territories around the world, selling insurance to 74 million customers worldwide
It has also an aircraft leasing arm, an asset management business and a financial products unit The latter holds a credit default swap portfolio that has triggered the large
mortgage losses
AIG shares were down $4 46, or 36 7%, at $7 68 in premarket trade They reached a 52-week high of $70 13 on Oct 9, 2007
On the news just now - AIG to announce its restructuring plan this morning.

You said the last time we spoke to touch base if I ever have concerns...
You probably can't say...but are you hearing of any money funds in
distress due to their holdings, or ancillary price pressures?
My opinion is that the Fed should be considering "emergency easing" if
for no other reason to alleviate pricing in the money markets and more
specifically to protect from potential "breaking the buck" on the part
of some money funds out there.
The Fed could cut rates and wrap "emergency" and "temporary" language
around the move to communicate that such a move is designed to give
markets a chance to catch its breath.
Just my thoughts.

As a follow-up to our discussion this morning, below is a quick outline for moving
forward. For those of you that were not able to attend the meeting due to
scheduling conflicts, we spoke about three efforts -- the most immediate of which
relate to dimensioning risks posed by AIG. The other two streams are intended to
(a) identify other non-bank intermediaries of potential concern, and (b) potential
weaknesses at banks (with emphasis on regional and smaller foreigns). The points
for each stream are identified below. Additionally, we'll look to have a preliminary
view on all three workstreams toward the end of today with analysis to continue
throughout the week.

Subject AIG gets New York's help in accessing $20 billion
Business Insurance
NEW YORK (Reuters)—New York Gov. David Paterson said he and other state officials
had reached an agreement with American International Group Inc that allows the insurer
access to $20 billion of its own capital, staving off a liquidity crisis.
Under the plan, AIG will be able to shift the funds from its insurance subsidiaries to the
parent company.
AIG had worked with New York officials through the weekend to shore up capital after
rating agencies threatened downgrades. AIG's shares were down 55.6% at $5.39 after
earlier touching $3.50.
The company has posted $18 billion in cumulative losses over the past three quarters on
guarantees it wrote on mortgage-linked securities.
Gov. Paterson said he had worked with AIG in a bid to help save New York jobs, with the
New York Insurance Superintendent Eric Dinallo is appealing to the federal government on
AIG's behalf to provide it additional access to capital, Gov. Paterson said.
Good afternoon,
Please find attached an Excel worksheet with attribute data of AIG's federal savings
bank (AIG FSB) including cap class, asset, collateral, and overdrafting information.
(b) (4)
Also, please find attached an intraday balance report for AIG FSB.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information.
Thanks,

Market reacted better so far--but much of what we saw today was clients
coming to us to deal with re-assignment of trades they had on with
Lehman. Process is going forward---see below as I find this
amazing--why does the FED need Morgan Stanley to assess options in the
case of AIG--why not have US FED personnel work with Dinallo and co?
What am I missing here?
I hope you get sleep as I hardly ever do these days--but I think the
action taken personally was the right one.

In general, state insurance statutes allow commercial insurance underwriters to pay out a
maximum dividend amount of the greater of (1) the prior year-end net income, or (2) 10% of
the surplus as regards policyholders, without the approval of the state’s insurance regulatory
authority. State insurance regulatory authorities have the power to approve extraordinary
dividends on a case-by-case basis.

Spoke to Philly.
AIG FSB is at a zero cap (no collateral) on the real time monitor. The FSB was
notified and was fine with the zero cap--they have very low levels of DLOD (average
about $5,000). The FSB does have OC 10 documents on file. It appears that the
FSB is fairly insulated from the affiliates/parent; had been more interactions in the
past but less so today.

In both cases, Philly indicated to the FSBs that the 23A exemption just announced
would not apply to them. (thoughts?)
Philly will be circulating a memo shortly with this and other information. I will

The U.S. government has requested JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group
Inc. lead a lending facility for American International Group Inc. to the tune of $70 billion
to $75 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported in a posting to its Web site on Sept. 15.
Meanwhile, the New York Times' DealBook blog reported in a posting at 1:56 p.m. Eastern
time that the Federal Reserve has hired Morgan Stanley for advice on potential options to
support the insurance behemoth. The Times said aid could include a $20 billion bridge loan.
Earlier, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson denied that the federal government would
provide a bridge loan.
"What's going on in New York has got nothing to do with any bridge loan from the
government," Paulson said at a Sept. 15 press conference. "What's going on in New York is
a private-sector effort."

The briefing will occur after Bush returns from a trip to Houston and Galveston,
Texas, where he will inspect areas damaged by Hurricane Ike.
The working group is led by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and includes the
chairs of the Federal Reserve Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Bush and Paulson met earlier Monday, as the collapse of Lehman Brothers (LEH)
and the woes of American International Group (AIG) sent shudders through markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down more than 500 points, a massive
sell-off propelled by investor fears over the health of the financial system.
Though the working group meets regularly, Bush hasn't sat down with it since March
17, a day after the Fed provided a backstop for J.P. Morgan Chase's (JPM) purchase
of Bear Stearns.
Earlier Monday, Bush said the administration is working to ease any pain the market's
current problems may inflict on the economy at large.
"In the short run, adjustments in the financial markets can be painful - both for the
people concerned about their investments, and for the employees of the affected
firms," he said. "In the long run, I'm confident that our capital markets are flexible and
resilient, and can deal with these adjustments."

About one-quarter of the property-casualty business is done outside the U.S. About
80 percent of the life & annuity business is outside the U.S.
Almost all AIG's trouble is not in the insurance subsidiaries, but is caused by it's AIG
Financial Products (AIGFP) derivatives and capital markets operation, which was
always a relatively small part by revenue. AIG's current problem is to 1) be able to
continue to raise somewhere in its corporate structure whatever soon-rolling-over
debt has previously been raised by the holding company or AIGFP, and 2) be able to
move requisite assets to whatever of its subs need them for posting collateral.
The insurance business is essentially all done through subsidiaries, with foreign
business done through foreign subsidiaries. All are regulated to one extent or
another. Much like our Section 23 regulation of banks, which restricts the holding
company's ability to suck capital out of bank subs for use by other subsidiaries,
many insurance regulators limit transfers of wealth from insurance subs to other
parts of the corporate entity.
Thus the importance of the New York insurance commissioner's announcement today
that AIG could temporarily take $20 billion from U.S. insurance subs for use by other
parts of the consolidated entity.
The equity-to-assets ratio is about 9 percent, with $96 billion of book equity.
Recent press speculation of $19 billion in writeoffs is big enough to get one's
attention, but given that most such writeoffs would occur in AIGFP, maybe the
biggest problem is getting the capital to that entity, as noted previously.
Major insurance companies are fiercely complicated entities, in many ways much
more complicated than major investment banks. Too bad Nini is not around
anymore. He knew insurance.

This reads like a signal from on high. Did they get help?
------------------------------------------------------
The decision depends largely on whether the market fallout, which remained
limited in the U.S. early Monday, worsens on Tuesday. Fed officials expect some
stress in markets. They are hoping it will remain manageable and not put too much
pressure on credit conditions and the overall economic outlook. But they also
recognize that markets haven't faced the failure of a major investment bank with the
financial system as interconnected as it is today.
Futures markets on Monday put better than 50-50 odds on the Fed cutting the
current 2% federal-funds rate, at which banks lend to each other overnight, by a
quarter percentage point on Tuesday. Before the weekend, traders put the likelihood
at just 10%.
The risk for policy makers: Cutting rates immediately could remove some of their
flexibility in case the financial crisis worsens. The Fed cut rates after the market
crash in 1987 -- a 25% drop in stocks -- and after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks. But in both cases the potential turmoil was much clearer.
They are likely to be resistant to taking action after less than two days of trading,
when the longer-term impact on credit costs and credit availability will be unclear.
The Fed previously has inserted language in its post-meeting statement to signal a
willingness to take action between meetings if necessary. Those words could re-
emerge on Tuesday.
At the very least, Fed officials are likely to suggest "increased uncertainty and
increased downside risks as a result of the turmoil and the likely associated
restriction of credit," UBS economists said in a note to clients.
Fed officials will likely point to other action they have taken to calm financial
markets. Policy makers over the past year have sought to distinguish between
interest-rate policy, targeted to address economic conditions, and the Fed's lending

If one more investor asks me to bid back NR or AIG I am going to scream. This
has not been pleasant. Please make tomorrow a better day.
Repo, Fed Fund and CP markets did not have very good days today.Very chaotic,
very wide ranges, investors hunkering down cash and hiding in Tbills, Treasuries right
now. Sec lenders pulling collateral. This is total chaos right now. SOMA program up
to 25.8 bln vs 1.4 bln Friday. These are incredible times.

Credit Risk Coordinator - Wholesale
After some brief conversations with senior insurance brokers at (b) (4)
P&C
- Neither have made a concrete decision on whether or not AIG is still a viable
market for their clients. Both did say that most clients that are in renewal of a 10/1
inception date have asked for alternative quotes and have indicated a strong
preference for the alternative. 12/31s have also asked for alternatives.
- They may consider stalling any additional LOCs or payments on loss sensitive
programs until more market clarity is available.
Surety Bonds
- AIG is leading provider of surety bond for construction, infrastructure,
homebuilders, etc. I believe that many contracts require a minimum insurer rating
on surety bond (BBB?). Should the AIG company that provides these bonds fall
below that, a significant # of projects will be in technical default. I'm not sure what
the process is for unwinding this.
Across risks
- b4 ndicated that for nonfinancial firms this was a large wake-up call. Many
companies use AIG on all (many) parts of their program including P&C, 401(k),
surety bonds, life insurance programs, etc. It is these smaller companies that the
brokers have concern over. The larger companies may spread business and/or may
loose only one part of their program. Smaller companies may have a lot of due
diligence to do to replace the various services provided by AIG.
- Both highlighted that their clients have been commenting on the regulatory
structure. It was a wake-up call here as well.

The Yahoo Finance regional investment brokerage firm index was down 3.69% for the day. However, the regional
brokerage firms fared better than the two remaining large brokers. Goldman and Morgan were each down over
12%.
BlackRock, Inc., the largest firm in the index with a market capitalization of $27 billion, was only down about 1
percent on the day accounting for much of the good performance compared to the larger firms. Investors believe
BlackRock will benefit from Lehman’s dissolution.
In addition, the regional firms may not be as heavily reliant on overnight funding as the larger firms and probably
do not keep complex structured products in inventory to the extent that the larger firms have.
There are no indications at this time that the regional brokerage firms, as a whole, are going to come under
pressure. However, a few have already encountered financial difficulty, such as ETrade and these problems have
been well known for some time.
The table below highlights capitalization and stock price changes for the regional brokerage firms:

The current problems of AIG, the financial guarantors, and the private mortgage insurers are well known. This note
provides a quick update on the financial conditions of other insurance companies.
U.S. insurance companies are typically highly invested in the mortgage markets, especially commercial real estate.
Large U.S. insurance companies that have a substantial percentage mortgages in their invested assets include:
Nationwide (22.4%); CIGNA (21.2%); Thrivent (16.6%); Genworth (16.1%); Principal Financial (16.1%); and
MassMutual (16.0%). For comparison, AIG had mortgages that comprised 15.4% of its invested assets.
Residential Subprime and Alt A exposures constituted a high percentage of AIG’s equity (47%). Most insurance
companies are more exposed to commercial mortgages than residential. Some other insurance companies with high
exposures to residential mortgages included CNA (22.7%) and The Hartford (13.4%).
Insurance companies’ exposures to the CDS markets are difficult to pin down. Some evidence suggests that the
most exposed are Metlife (a financial holding company), Principal Financial, Prudential, and The Hartford. This is
in addition to the financial guarantors’ substantial exposures to credit markets.
The largest reinsurance companies seem to be in good financial shape, although they have significant declines in
profitability. The exceptions are Scottish Re, which has substantial exposure to U.S. subprime, and Bluepoint Re,
which reinsured financial guarantors. Other reinsurers are parts of larger groups with financial guarantors or
mortgage insurers and may face downgrades (Assured Guaranty, RAM Re, XL Capital, Radian Group).

• No major immediate concerns are anticipated for pension funds; however; however, heightened concerns
arising from recent market events may prompt pension funds (and other fiduciaries) to selectively redeem
investments in those money market funds and “stable value” funds deemed to be more vulnerable to
liquidity or credit issues to protect their investment.
• In the longer term, effects of markdowns of pension assets may cause a plan to be underfunded, requiring a
need to make additional plan contributions. 1
• On the positive side, in aggregate, at 2007, private pension plans were fully funded; however, there have
likely been significant write-downs in fund assets since that time. According to reports, asset values of
pension funds of the top 1500 S&P companies have declined an estimated $50 - $80 billion from $1.7
trillion level at year-end 2007.
• The U.S. pension industry assets totaled approximately $6 trillion at year-end 2007, comprised of
approximately $2.6 trillion of private plan assets and $3.4 trillion of public plan assets.
• Money market funds and “stable value” funds will again be under pressure to avoid “breaking the buck.”
Liquidity and valuation issues are likely to become an issue. Banks sponsored funds are being monitoring
by the LCBO group. (See attached listing of largest money market funds and bank advised funds.)

Most ERISA plans are required to provide audited financials. FAS 35 requires assets to be reported at fair value.
The weakening of the PBGC’s financial condition following the stock market decline in 2001, was a driver of the
reform implemented with the Pension Protection Act of 2006, which brought about higher funding requirements;
faster closure of funding gaps; and greater use of market-to-market valuations.
• Market is for overnight paper. Term paper is not trading in any sector, that is, for 30, 60 or 90 day paper.
• Money market funds are worried about redemptions and therefore, they are holding off purchasing until the
end the day as opposed to purchasing in the morning.
• Elimination of Merrill and Lehman as dealers should not impact liquidity in the market as issuers direct
their commercial paper to other dealers.
• Reported draws on bank lines by issuers who did not place their full allotment of commercial paper.
• The ABCP market is beginning to struggle. Overnight paper is difficult to place for independent issuers and
foreign multi-seller ABCP conduits. Term paper did not trade.
• Fed Funds hit 8%. The expectation is that demand will return to the market for longer term paper as credit
fears subside.
• US Bank spreads remained relatively unchanged, however, few trades were completed
o Foreign banks could only fund overnight
• In the corporate market, funding was overnight with no demand for term paper.

NEWS ALERT
from The Wall Street Journal
Sept. 15, 2008
Monday evening, Standard & Poor's cut AIG's credit rating by three notches. The
downgrade means that AIG's counterparties can demand that it post an additional
$11.6 billion in collateral, according to a filing AIG made with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in August. It is not clear how quickly AIG would have to
produce those funds, but if it fails to do so, it risks defaulting on its agreements with
those counterparties.

It seems many in the market were not at all prepared for Lehman to go under. Most
expected some form of takeover or bail out (maybe not the most irrational of beliefs
given Bear Stearns and the potential for serious systemic risk).
A lot of funds facing Lehman have seen significant losses incurred on collateral on
repo’s, swaps, etc. There are also many with uncertain overall positions as a result of
uncertainty over current trades with Lehman.
Given that the UShas now showed a willingness to let a major institution fail, there is
widespread concern about many other names, and an increasing unwillingness to
lend or trade with other counterparties.
I have heard a number of funds raise concerns about whether the Merrill/BoA deal
with conclude (people who’ve just incurred serious losses on Lehman exposures are
inclined to take a negative view of things).
Similarly AIG is causing high concern – the extent of losses which would be
transmitted to the banking system through a failure is seen as a very high risk.
The money markets and FX forward markets are becoming increasingly dislocated –
US$ overnight rates being quoted somewhere between 10+20% at present.
The very very high risk decision to let Lehman fail seems to be triggering a loss of
confidence in policy makers ability to understand or fix the current problems (at least
in the US). If this runs much further or there are other major defaults this situation
could be difficult to pull back.
I would not rule out the need for the US or even G7 to issue a generalized guarantee
on all senior bank obligations if this situation gets further out of hand to prevent a
major systemic breakdown in the banking and payments system.

Monday evening, Standard & Poor's cut AIG's credit rating by three
notches. The downgrade means that AIG's counterparties can demand
that it post an additional $11.6 billion in collateral, according to a filing
AIG made with the Securities and Exchange Commission in August. It
is not clear how quickly AIG would have to produce those funds, but if
it fails to do so, it risks defaulting on its agreements with those
counterparties.

Lehman failure has set of a huge set of chain reactions across markets causing
leverage to unwind in a disorderly manner. Many funds/corporates/hedge funds can’t
work out their positions and are scrambling to replace naked exposures created by
the failure. There seem to be differences in treatment for the unwind depending on
instruments, etc causing chaos for market exposures.
The USsenior bank debt market is collapsing due to the collapse in recovery rate
assumptions as more failures are considered.
The market is very close to seizing. Many market participants are close to a moving
towards short dated government bonds and avoiding bank exposure (in every way a
major run on the banking system).
There may well be a need to issue a general guarantee on bank obligations in the
manner the Scandanavian’s did in 2002 and the UK did for a short period during

It seems many in the market were not at all prepared for Lehman to go under. Most
expected some form of takeover or bail out (maybe not the most irrational of beliefs
given Bear Stearns and the potential for serious systemic risk).
A lot of funds facing Lehman have seen significant losses incurred on collateral on
repo’s, swaps, etc. There are also many with uncertain overall positions as a result of
uncertainty over current trades with Lehman.
Given that the US has now showed a willingness to let a major institution fail, there is
widespread concern about many other names, and an increasing unwillingness to
lend or trade with other counterparties.

I suspect that AIG's CP backup lines have MAC clauses, and that AIG now has a
serious problem. I would like to consolidate the info you have put together on AIG's

If I have it right by combining this info with previous data, AIG and subs have six

AIG has sold a lot of protection that is similar to the type of protection the
guarantors sold -- 'super senior' protection against CDOs. They sold $80 billion of
'multi-sector' CDO protection, which includes the ABS CDO type stuff the guarantors
did and had taken MTM losses of $27 billion against that as of August. As of
August, they had posted $16 billion of collateral against these MTM losses, leaving
$10 billion open exposure at counterparties. They also have a large book of
corporate CDO related CDS protection sold and given what spreads aredoing this is
no doubt causing some MTM losses -- and growing exposures at banks -- as well.

AIG had its key credit rating downgraded by all three major rating
agencies after receiving a $20 billion lifeline from New York insurance
regulators. The insurer is also working to secure a lending facility
arranged by JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs of as much as $75
billion, a crucial step in light of the downgrade, which has the potential to
trigger substantial collateral payments on AIG's numerous credit-
derivative trades. Standard & Poor's warned that AIG's credit rating
could be reduced even more if it is not able to "implement further
liquidity options" and "the successful sale of at least a portion of its
business assets."

There are $145 billion inl eliminations, but it is not clear if they are mainly parent-

AIGFP had $115 billion in end-'07 assets and was involved to at least some extent in
offering CDS protection on CDO tranches.
About 28% of the group's half-trillion dollar bond porttfolio was in the MBS/ABS

Bill,
Please let me know if these aren't what you were expecting and if
you'd like me to continue searching.
Business Insurance
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 27.93 points, or 0.26%, to 10,945.44.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 2.58 points, or 0.22%, to 1,195.28.
The NASDAQ Composite Index rose 5.21 points, or 0.24%, to 2,185.12.
Stocks had slid earlier as investors feared that without a financial lifeline,
AIG's survival might come into question as the credit squeeze weighs on the
company.
Shares of AIG, a Dow component, pared losses to trade off 18% at $3.90.
Earlier the stock had plunged by more than 40% amid uncertainty about a
potential rescue deal.
Worries about AIG were accentuated by concerns that the U.S. government
would refuse to provide a financial lifeline as it did in the case of Lehman
Brothers Holdings. The 158-year-old Wall Street icon subsequently filed for
bankruptcy protection on Monday.

thanks Krista. Both of those are discussions of downgrades that ocurred because of
the AIG downgrade. What would be most helpful would be a discussion of why the
parent company, AIG, was downgraded.
It's not crucial if it is turning out to be a lot of work. The information is pretty much
covered by the wire services.
