   Authorized by the Board under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act
                             January 12, 2026

Overview

       The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is providing
the following updates concerning certain lending facilities established by the Board
under section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 343). Pursuant to
section 13(3)(C) of the Federal Reserve Act, the Board must provide the
Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the
Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives an initial report
and periodic updates regarding each facility established under section 13(3). This
report provides the next periodic update on the Paycheck Protection Program
Liquidity Facility (PPPLF), the Main Street New Loan Facility (MSNLF), the
Main Street Expanded Loan Facility (MSELF), the Main Street Priority Loan
Facility (MSPLF), the Nonprofit Organization New Loan Facility (NONLF), and
the Nonprofit Organization Expanded Loan Facility (NOELF). The Board will
provide updates concerning its outstanding facilities on a monthly basis, in
accordance with section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act.

       A. Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility

       On April 8, 2020, the Board authorized each of the 12 Federal Reserve
Banks to establish and operate the PPPLF. The PPPLF offered a source of
liquidity to financial institution lenders that lend to small businesses through the
Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program. The PPPLF
ceased extending credit on July 30, 2021. Additional information about the
PPPLF can be found on the Board’s public website at
https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/ppplf.htm.

      Update. As of December 31, 2025:
        • The total outstanding amount of all advances under the PPPLF was
           $63,090,024.
        • The total value of the collateral pledged to secure outstanding
           advances was $63,090,024.
        • The amount of interest, fees, and other revenue or items of value
           received under the facility, reported on an accrual basis, was
           $470,673,975.
                                           1
           • As described in the Board’s initial report to Congress regarding the
             PPPLF, the PPPLF includes features that are intended to mitigate
             risk to the Federal Reserve. The Board continues to expect that the
             PPPLF will not result in losses to the Federal Reserve.

      Additional transaction-specific disclosures regarding the PPPLF may be
found in the attached spreadsheet (Spreadsheet A).

        B. Main Street Lending Program

      The Board authorized a Main Street Lending Program (MSLP) to support
lending to small and medium-sized businesses and nonprofit organizations that
were in sound financial condition before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The MSLP includes five facilities: the MSNLF, MSELF, MSPLF, NONLF, and
NOELF. The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRBB) established one special
purpose vehicle (SPV) to manage and operate all five facilities. The MSLP
ceased purchasing participations in eligible loans on January 8, 2021.

      This periodic update provides aggregate information about the MSLP.
Additional information about the MSLP can be found on the Board’s public
website at https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/mainstreetlending.htm.

       Update. As of December 31, 2025:

            the MSLP was $43,860,550.1

            to the SPV was $1,613,039,976.2
         • The total amount of interest, fees, and other revenue received by the
            SPV with respect to the MSLP, reported on an accrual basis, was
            $3,633,760,245. This comprises $825,059,362 received on
            commingled investments of the MSLP, such as the equity

          • As described in the Board’s initial reports to Congress regarding the
            MSNLF, MSELF, MSPLF, NONLF, and NOELF, the MSLP
            includes features that are intended to mitigate risk to the Federal
            Reserve. The Board continues to expect that the MSLP will not
            result in losses to the Federal Reserve.3

  The evaluation of loan participations purchased by the MSLP resulted in the SPV updating the
credit loss allowance to an amount of $696 million as of September 30, 2025; the adjustment was
recorded in October 2025. The allowance for credit losses is estimated based upon the MSLP’s
holdings as of September 30, 2025, and does not indicate actual losses experienced by the
program. The estimated allowance for credit losses for the MSLP will be updated on a quarterly
basis. As of December 31, 2025, the SPV has recognized approximately $1.97 billion in actual
credit losses, net of subsequent recoveries. The amount of actual losses for the MSLP will be
updated in future periodic reports for any losses recognized in the respective report period.
