Abstract
The cancellation provisions in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) warrant agreements loom large for the investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. These banks could gain hundreds of millions of dollars by issuing equity to satisfy the cancellation provisions of the TARP warrant agreements. Nevertheless, they could maximize the value of these provisions by postponing an equity issuance if they could afford to wait to unwind the TARP investments.
