FDIC Says Bloomberg Story About Sheila Bair's Comments on Bank CEO's Was 'Misleading'

May 15, 2009 2:39 PM EDT
Responding to an earlier Bloomberg headline which read "FDIC's Bair says some bank CEO's will be replaced in the next few months", the FDIC has now released the following statement:

"The Bloomberg story referencing Chairman Bair's discussion of management and board changes is misleading and does not provide the proper context of her comments. Chairman Bair said that management changes could happen based on the capital plans that an institution must submit to the government. She did not refer to CEOs specifically and the comment was in the context of capital plans submitted by the institutions. Chairman Bair also did not suggest the federal government will remove the bank CEOs."
