§ 253 Assessment Collection Procedures

Key Takeaways

  • •If a bank's board decided to charge shareholders money before 1979, and this charge was already officially tied to the shares, they can still collect it using old rules.
  • •If the bank's board decided to charge shareholders money before 1979 but didn't officially tie it to the shares, the decision is canceled as of January 1, 1979.
  • •This rule started in 2012 but talks about old decisions made before 1979.

Example

A bank decided in 1978 to charge its shareholders $100 each to help the bank. They officially tied this charge to the shares before 1979.

The bank can still collect the $100 from shareholders using the old rules because they made it official before 1979.
