Recovering Pay from Executives of Failed Banks: New Clawback Rules.
This law grants the FDIC clear authority to reclaim salaries, bonuses, and other compensation paid to executives and key personnel of large banks (over $10 billion in assets) up to three years before the institution fails. This measure aims to increase accountability for mismanagement and replenish the fund that protects citizens' deposits. Recovered funds will be deposited directly into the Deposit Insurance Fund.
Key points
Regulators gain explicit power to claw back salaries, bonuses, equity, and profits from securities sales from executives of failed banks that caused significant losses.
The clawback applies to all forms of compensation received within the 3 years preceding the bank's insolvency, provided the bank had over $10 billion in assets.
Recovered funds are deposited into the Deposit Insurance Fund, strengthening the safety net for depositors.
