After a financial institution is granted preliminary approval, the institution must complete and submit the securities purchase agreement, letter agreement, certificate of designations and warrant. Financial institutions that are granted preliminary approval will receive a letter from the Treasury Department with instructions regarding filing the documents and completing the process.

Once the investment agreements are complete and the investment is authorized, within two business days Treasury will publicly disclose the name and capital purchase amount for the financial institution. The information will be posted at Treasury's web site updated daily at 4:30 p.m. (EDT) as needed.

Treasury also confirmed that it will post an application form and term sheet for privately held eligible institutions at a later date and establish a reasonable deadline for private institutions to apply.
