This CLE webinar will cover the recent release of proposed regulatory capital requirements (known as the Basel III Endgame) and how they will impact the commercial lending landscape. The panel will discuss potential changes to loan structures and loan documentation and provisions to respond to these proposed new capital requirements.

Description

On July 27, 2023, U.S. federal banking regulators jointly released proposed changes to the capital requirements for midsize and larger U.S. banking organizations. These revisions will likely be one of the most consequential changes to U.S. banking regulation since the 2010 passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

The revisions are lengthy and significantly change the requirements for credit, market, and operational risk. Some of the revisions are long expected (e.g., reevaluation of the use of internal models), but others are novel (e.g., capital charge for operational risk) or driven in response to the recent banking crisis. Further, the revisions are expected to materially increase the amount of capital that many larger banking organizations must hold, which may lead to a decline in bank lending and bank trading activities.

Terms and provisions in loan documents can affect certain loans' classification and their treatment under the capital rules. Some loans can be structured to avoid being subject to certain capital charges. Bank counsel must have a thorough understanding of the capital rules' nuances to minimize their impact on profitability in any given transaction.

Listen as our authoritative panel of regulatory and finance attorneys analyzes the proposed U.S. capital rules, the impact on the commercial lending environment, and how lenders may alter loan structures and loan documentation to minimize the rules' effects.
