    Things are moving extremely quickly. It is critical to stay up to speed on recent and emerging developments, and properly assess their impact. The success of your business depends on it!

    Recently, the Department of the Treasury introduced the voluntary Capital Purchase Program. Under the program, Treasury will purchase up to $250 billion of senior preferred shares on standardized terms. Program participants must adopt the Treasury Department's standards for executive compensation and corporate governanceWhat will this mean for your bottom line and the economy?

    Moreover, under the EESA, Treasury is required to set guidelines within 45 days for pricing methods, the valuation of troubled assets, purchase vehicles, asset manager selection and criteria for identifying which troubled assets to purchase. In order to minimize losses, you need to understand the practical implications of the released guidelines and prepare for what’s next. 

    American Conference Institute’s National Forum onTARP” is the only comprehensive event that will allow you to learn from and network with a faculty of regulators, financial institutions and private practice experts. Speakers will make sense of all recent and upcoming developments related to TARP. Moreover, don’t miss out on industry insights on how to prepare for the next phase of TARP implementation.
