CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

Regulation FD Disclosure |
|
|
On June 17, 2015, in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”), New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") disclosed the results of, and risks and assumptions relating to, its 2015 Dodd-Frank Act company-run stress test (“DFAST”) under the Severely Adverse Scenario established by the FRB on October 23, 2014. |
||
| Results for both the Company and its savings bank subsidiary, New York Community Bank (the “Community Bank”) were posted to the Company’s website, www.mynycb.com, under “Investor Relations” and can be accessed by clicking on “Financial Results” and then on “Regulatory Disclosures.” | ||
|
The DFAST results reflect the Company’s estimates of losses, pre-provision net revenue, provisions for loan and lease losses, net income, and capital levels over a nine-quarter planning horizon beginning September 30, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016. These estimates are based on a forward-looking exercise using hypothetical, severely adverse, macroeconomic assumptions developed by the FRB. They do not represent a forecast of expected future economic or financial conditions, nor do they represent a Company forecast of future financial condition or results. |
||
| A copy of the press release announcing disclosure of the DFAST results is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. | ||
| The DFAST results and the press release announcing the disclosure of those results are being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, and the information contained therein shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section. Furthermore, the information contained in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933. | ||
| The information contained in or incorporated by reference to this Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements, including projections of financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, and future performance or business under a hypothetical, severely adverse scenario that incorporates a set of assumed economic and financial conditions prescribed by the FRB, and may address issues that involve significant risk, uncertainties, estimates, expectations, and assumptions made by management. Actual results may differ materially from current projections and will be influenced by actual economic and financial conditions, as well as various other factors, as described in the Company’s annual, quarterly, and current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at the Company’s website and at www.sec.gov. | ||
