Small Business Lending Fund - TARP Warmed Over or Something New?

Noel Gruber spoke on the webinar, "Small Business Lending Fund – TARP Warmed Over or Something New?", on December 9th at 1 PM Eastern.

This webinar focused on the latest developments in the new Small Business Lending Fund investment program, designed to spur small business lending by community banks through Treasury investments in bank or bank holding company preferred stock on potentially bargain terms. Is it just TARP in a new wrapper, and should it matter to you?

The presentation gave details and expert analysis needed in order to decide whether your bank can qualify for the Treasury investment, how to position your bank to qualify for the investment, and whether your bank should apply for and accept the investment.

It also focused on new statutory and regulatory restrictions on trust preferred securities and developments in bank capital market conditions, including the latest developments in the market for discounted redemption or exchange of trust preferred or TARP securities.
