Loan to related interest of principal shareholder - she owns 73% of the related interest. The loan is for $600,000.

The "other bank debt" rule for $100,000 is stumping me. We have other loans to related interests she has (all CD secured) that total over $100,000. All done before my time.

Does the fact that all the other loans are CD secured exempt it from the more restrictive lending limit?

Please help.

The rule of 215.5 limiting "other purpose" loans to $100,000 only applies to executive officers, not to principal shareholders.

So, to be sure i understand (i hate reg O) - the principal shareholder is designated as an executive officer, therfore, the limits apply.

Dan - you are pointing me to the above cite which discusses "general lending limits" - not the more restrictive lending limit. Are the exceptions also exempt from the "more restrictive lending limits" So, if it's a CD secured loan - it would be exempt from the more restrictive lending limits - or am i misunderstanding?

215.5(c) A member bank is authorized to extend credit to any executive officer of the bank:

(3) In any amount, if the extension of credit is secured in a manner described in Sec. 215.4(d)(3)(i)(A) through (d)(3)(i)(C) of this part.

Sec. 215.4(d)(3)(i)(C)Extensions of credit secured by a perfected security interest in a segregated deposit account in the lending bank;

So, the CD secured loans are not an issue. You didn't say how the new loan would be secured. If not under one of the exclusion, that loan will be a problem.
