The ALM should be updated to define permissible derivative instruments, hedging, and position-taking activities. It should also outline allowable strategies and set appropriate limits for their use.

  3. The Company will not incur any debt without prior approval by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

 

  4. The Company will preserve its cash assets and not dissipate those assets except for the benefit of the subsidiary bank to the effect that approval by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond is granted prior to any use of the Company’s cash assets other than (i) investment in obligations or equity of the subsidiary bank; (ii) investment in short-term, liquid assets; (iii) Company dividends declared in conformance with the November 14, 1985 policy statement of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or (iv) the Company’s normal and customary expenses.
