Overview of the latest developments

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) that became law on February 17, 2009, imposes new restrictions on compensation of certain executives at financial institutions that receive assistance under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”).
