The U.S. Basel III Endgame Reproposal: Analysis of the Securitization Framework

April 15, 2026

On March 19, 2026, the Federal Reserve, the OCC, and the FDIC issued three concurrent notices of proposed rulemaking (collectively, the “Reproposal”) that would substantially revise the risk-based capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The Reproposal would, among other things, (1) introduce a new “expanded risk-based approach” (“ERBA”) for calculating risk-weighted assets that would be mandatory for Category I and II banking organizations and available on an opt-in basis for other banking organizations, and (2) revise the standardized approach applicable to all other banking organizations (other than those using the CBLR framework).

Control Issues: Delaware Holds Parties to Their Bargain in Recent Governance Decisions

April 16, 2026

That bias was on display in three recent post-trial Court of Chancery decisions involving control and governance of closely held Delaware companies.

Second Circuit Affirms Dismissal of Securities Claims Arising from Reverse Split of Exchange-Traded Notes

April 09, 2026

The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit recently issued a per curiam opinion in Knapp v. Barclays PLC, affirming the dismissal of a putative securities class action arising from a reverse split of exchange-traded notes.  Addressing matters of first impression, the Court rejected plaintiffs’ attempt to frame the split as an unregistered “sale” in violation of Section 12(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as the Court held that it did not meaningfully change the nature of plaintiffs’ investment or the investment risks.
