On June 10, 2009, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued regulations implementing the compensation requirements under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which amended the requirements of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Davis Polk has separately prepared a client memorandum entitled Compensation Restrictions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, dated February 17, 2009. The regulations became applicable to existing and new TARP recipients upon publication in the Federal Register on June 15, 2009, but are subject to comment during a period scheduled to end on August 14, 2009.
