The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
(BHC Act) and Board’s Regulation Y - Bank Holding Companies and
Change in Bank Control (12 CFR 225) require a bank holding company
(BHC) to seek the prior approval of the Board before purchasing or
redeeming its equity securities in certain circumstances. Due to
the limited information that a BHC must provide in connection with
any such request, there is no required reporting form, and each
request for prior approval is generally filed 30 days before the
proposed stock purchase or redemption as a notification with the
Reserve Bank that has direct supervisory responsibility for the
requesting BHC. The Federal Reserve uses the information provided
in the redemption notice to supervise BHCs.
