Court: Bank's Redemption of Trust Preferred Securities Due to Dodd-Frank Changes Is OK

The orders of a federal judge indicate that President Obama's signing of the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010 constituted a "Capital Treatment Event" that might entitle similarly situated banks to redeem their trust preferred securities, regardless of the timing of any so-called optional redemption date, so long as all other requirements are met.
