American International Group, Inc. is an insurance company that was at the heart of the financial crisis. Since September 2008, the Federal Reserve and Treasury have taken a series of actions related to AIG in order to promote financial stability. These measures focused on addressing the liquidity and capital needs of AIG, thereby helping to stabilize the company and prevent a disorderly failure. As part of these actions, in November 2008, Treasury purchased $40 billion in preferred stock from AIG. The preferred stock pays a dividend of 10 percent per year. In April 2009, Treasury created an equity capital facility under which AIG may draw up to $29.8 billion as needed in exchange for issuing additional preferred stock to Treasury. As of September 30, 2009, AIG has drawn $3.2 billion from the facility. Treasury does not have voting rights except in certain limited circumstances (such as amendments to the charter) or in the event dividends are not paid for four quarters, in which case Treasury has the right to elect up to three directors to the board.

The Asset Guarantee Program (http://www.financialstability.gov/roadtostability/assetguaranteeprogram.htm ) allows the Treasury to guarantee certain assets held by qualifying financial institutions. The set of insured assets is selected by the Treasury and its agents in consultation with the financial institution receiving the guarantee. In accordance with section 102(a), assets to be guaranteed must have been originated before March 14, 2008. Treasury determines the eligibility of participants and the allocation of resources on a case-by-case basis. The program is meant for systemically significant institutions, and could be used in coordination with other programs. Treasury may, on a case-by-case basis, use this program in coordination with a broader guarantee involving other agencies of the United States government.

The objective of the Automotive Industry Financing Program (http://www.financialstability.gov/roadtostability/autoprogram.html ) is to prevent a significant disruption of the American automotive industry, which would pose a systemic risk to financial market stability and have a negative effect on the economy of the United States. The program requires participating institutions to implement plans that will achieve long-term viability. Participating institutions must also adhere to rigorous executive compensation standards and other measures to protect the taxpayer’s interests, including limits on the institution’s expenditures and other corporate governance requirements.

The Capital Purchase Program (http://www.financialstability.gov/roadtostability/capitalpurchaseprogram.html ) was created in October 2008 to stabilize the financial system by providing capital to viable financial institutions of all sizes throughout the nation. With a strengthened capital base, financial institutions have an increased capacity to lend to U.S. businesses and consumers and to support the U.S. economy.

The Consumer and Business Lending Initiative (http://www.financialstability.gov/roadtostability/lendinginitiative.html ) is designed to jumpstart the credit markets. When banks are able to bundle and sell their loan portfolio into a vibrant and liquid secondary market, money can be instantly recycled back to financial institutions so that additional loans can be made. When the secondary markets freezes up, lenders stop lending; those seeking credit face exorbitant rates.

The Home Affordable Modification Program (http://www.financialstability.gov/roadtostability/homeowner.html ) is the Obama Administration’s program to offer assistance to as many as 7 to 9 million homeowners making a good-faith effort to make their mortgage payments, while attempting to prevent the destructive impact of the housing crisis on families and communities.

The Public-Private Investment Program (http://www.financialstability.gov/roadtostability/publicprivatefund.html ) is part of a joint effort by the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("Treasury"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Federal Reserve System to repair balance sheets throughout the U.S. financial system and ensure that credit is available to households and businesses. The coordinated effort is designed to improve the health of financial institutions holding real estate-related assets by increasing the flow of credit throughout the U.S. economy. The PPIP seeks to improve liquidity, promote price discovery, free up capital, and allow financial institutions to engage in new credit formation.

The Small Business And Community Lending Initiative (http://www.financialstability.gov/roadtostability/smallbusinesscommunityinitiative.html ) is an effort by the Obama Administration to increase the availability of credit to small businesses.

As another part of the Consumer and Business Lending Initiative, the Treasury Department will begin making direct purchases of securities backed by SBA loans to get the credit market moving again, and it will stand ready to purchase new securities to ensure that community banks and credit unions feel confident in extending new loans to local businesses. These purchases, combined with higher loan guarantees and reduced fees, will help provide lenders with the confidence that they need to extend credit, knowing they both have a backstop against their risk and a source of liquidity.

The Targeted Investment Program (http://www.financialstability.gov/roadtostability/targetedinvestmentprogram.html ) was created to stabilize the financial system by making investments in institutions that are critical to the functioning of the financial system. This program focuses on the complex relationships and reliance of institutions within the financial system. Investments made through the TIP seek to avoid significant market disruptions resulting from the deterioration of one financial institution that can threaten other financial institutions and impair broader financial markets and pose a threat to the overall economy. Through the TIP, Treasury is working to stabilize the financial system by reducing the chance that one firm’s distress will threaten otherwise financially-sound businesses, institutions, and municipalities which could cause an adverse spillover effect on employment, output, and incomes.

The FLRA Agency Cases (http://www.flra.gov/open ) dataset represents the pending case inventory and closed case output from the new case management system.
