1.5.1
Split classifications refer to the practice of assigning different classifications to different entities within the same group relationship, or to different loans extended to the same obligor, or to different portions of a single loan.
1.5.2
Split within a relationship. Loans extended to subsidiaries of a parent company on the basis of direct or implied support from the parent should generally not be classified at the higher level than the parent. On the other hand, loans extended to subsidiaries without direct or implied parent support may be classified at a lower level than the parent. An exception may be where there is tangible collateral or independent cash flow.
1.5.3
Split to same obligor. All loans extended to one borrower should generally be classified at the same level. However, certain loans to an obligor may be classified at a different level than other loans if they are secured by collateral or guarantees of unquestionable value. For example, a loan secured by properly hypothecated cash collateral would be less severely classified than other less well-secured loans to the same borrower.
