POSSIBLE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (“FDIC”) SPECIAL ASSESSMENT

On May 11, 2023, the FDIC released a proposed rule that would impose special assessments to recover the losses to the deposit insurance fund (“DIF”) resulting from the FDIC’s use, in March 2023, of the systemic risk exception to the least-cost resolution test under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act in connection with the receiverships of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.

The FDIC stated that it currently estimates those assessed losses to total $15.8 billion and that the amount of the special assessments would be adjusted as the loss estimate changes.

Under the proposed rule, the assessment base would be an insured depository institution’s (“IDI”) estimated uninsured deposits, as reported in the IDI’s December 31, 2022 Call Report, excluding the first $5 billion in estimated uninsured deposits.

The special assessments would be collected at an annual rate of approximately 12.5 basis points per year (3.13 basis points per quarter) over eight quarters in 2024 and 2025, with the first assessment period beginning January 1, 2024 (with the first assessment payment due by June 28, 2024).

Under the proposed rule, the estimated loss pursuant to the systemic risk determination would be periodically adjusted, and the FDIC would retain the ability to cease collection early, extend the special assessment collection period and impose a final shortfall special assessment on a one-time basis.

In its December 31, 2022 Call Report, United Bank, United’s only IDI, reported estimated uninsured deposits of approximately $9.5 billion.

United expects the special assessments would be tax deductible.

Although the proposal could be changed and the timing of accounting recognition is still under consideration, if the assessments, as proposed, were recorded as an expense in a single quarter, United estimates that expense would be approximately $11 million.

At this time, however, it is unclear to what extent these recommendations will be broadly accepted by industry participants, whether they will continue to evolve, and what other alternatives may be adopted by the broader markets that utilize LIBOR as a reference rate.
