Summary:

�౦��Ϸ���� (�౦��Ϸ����) Board of Directors approved a final rule to implement a special assessment to recover the loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) associated with protecting uninsured depositors following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank . The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act) requires the �౦��Ϸ���� to take this action in connection with the systemic risk determination announced on March 12, 2023 .

Statement of Applicability: The contents of, and material referenced in, this FIL do not apply to any banking organization (defined to include �౦��Ϸ����-insured financial institutions that are not subsidiaries of a holding company and �౦��Ϸ����–insured financial institutions that are subsidiaries of a holding company with one or more �౦��Ϸ����–insured financial institution subsidiaries) with less than $5 billion in total consolidated assets.

Highlights:

Special Assessment Amount

• Currently, the �౦��Ϸ���� estimates that of the total cost of the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, approximately $16.3 billion was attributable to the protection of uninsured depositors.

Assessment Base for the Special Assessment

• The assessment base for the special assessment is equal to an insured depository institution’s (IDI’s) estimated uninsured deposits reported as of December 31, 2022, adjusted to exclude the first $5 billion, applicable either to the IDI, if an IDI is not a subsidiary of a holding company, or at the banking organization level, to the extent that an IDI is part of a holding company with one or more subsidiary IDIs.

Special Assessment Rate

• The special assessment will be collected at an annual rate of approximately 13.4 basis points for an anticipated total of eight quarterly assessment periods.

Collection Period

• The special assessment will be collected beginning with the first quarterly assessment period of 2024 (i.e., January 1 through March 31, 2024) with an invoice payment date of June 28, 2024.
• Because the estimated loss pursuant to the systemic risk determination will be periodically adjusted, the �౦��Ϸ���� could:
• Cease collection early, if it has collected enough to recover actual or estimated losses;
• Extend the special assessment collection period one or more quarters beyond the initial eight-quarter collection period, if actual or estimated losses exceed the amounts collected; and
• Impose a final shortfall special assessment on a one-time basis after the receiverships for Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank terminate, if actual losses exceed the amounts collected.
