The Capital Assistance Program is a U.S. Treasury program that provides capital injections in exchange for mandatory convertible preferred stock and warrants to bank holding companies. Background and timelineAs part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 the U.S. Treasury was given funds to stabilize U.S. financial institutions and encourage lending. The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was to be implemented in two $350 billion authorizations. The first $350 billion went primarily to the Capital Purchase Program primarily allocated under the direction of U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson an appointee of George W. Bush.[1] The new Barack Obama appointee, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, announced the Capital Assistance Program on February 10, 2009.[2] Features of the programMoney is given in exchange for preferred stock that pays a 9 percent dividend. The preferred stock is automatically converted into common stock at the end of seven years. The banks receiving funds will be restricted in paying dividends, buying back their stock, and buying other firms with cash.[3] Because preferred stock is similar to debt in that it gets paid before common stock, some economists have questioned whether the buying of preferred stock by both the Capital Assistance Program and the Capital Purchase Program will be effective in getting banks to lend efficiently.[4][5] See also{{wiktionarypar|capital assistance}}References1. ^{{cite news | first= Mark | last= Landler |author2=Eric Dash | title= Paulson Says Banks Must Deploy New Capital: Drama Behind a $250 Billion Banking Deal | date= 2008-10-14 | publisher= | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/15/business/economy/15bailout.html?hp | work = New York Times| pages = | accessdate = 2008-10-14 }} {{Subprime mortgage crisis}}2. ^{{cite news | title= Market Pans Bank Rescue Plan | date= February 11, 2009 | publisher= Wall Street Journal | url = https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123427167262568141 | accessdate = February 12, 2009 | first=Deborah | last=Solomon}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.financialstability.gov/docs/fact-sheet.pdf |title=FACT SHEET FINANCIAL STABILITY PLAN |publisher=U.S. Treasury |date=February 10, 2009 |accessdate=March 11, 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090311205328/http://www.financialstability.gov/docs/fact-sheet.pdf |archivedate=March 11, 2009 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite web|ssrn=1321666 |title=Common (Stock) Sense about Risk-Shifting and Bank Bailouts|publisher=SSRN.com |date=December 29, 2009 |accessdate=January 21, 2009}} 5. ^{{cite web|ssrn=1336288 |title=Debt Overhang and Bank Bailouts|publisher=SSRN.com |date=February 2, 2009 |accessdate=February 2, 2009}} 1 : Troubled Asset Relief Program |
