Reporting Form FR Y-10
Effective May 31, 2004

Instructions for the Report of Changes in
Organizational Structure (FR Y-10)
•

A FBO, whether or not a BHC, if the FBO does
not meet the requirements of and is not treated as
a qualifying FBO under Section 211.23 of
Regulation K.2

Use the FR Y-10 to report changes to organizational
structure including: information about the reporter
itself; acquisition of interests in bank holding
companies (BHCs), banks organized under U.S. law,
or nonbanking companies; transfer, sale, or
liquidation of such interests; merger of companies;
internal reorganizations; initiation of new activities;
certain merchant banking or insurance company
investments; and changes to previously reported
information.

•

State member banks (SMBs) not controlled by a
BHC.

•

Edge and agreement corporations, if not
controlled by a BHC, FBO, or member bank.

•

National banks not controlled by a BHC, but only
with respect to their investments made under
Subpart A of Regulation K.

Who Must Report

The following categories of events (termed
Reportable Events for purposes of the FR Y-10 and
these instructions) generally trigger the requirement
to file a FR Y-10. Note that a single transaction by a
reporter may involve more than one reportable event:
• New Reporters:
Any event that causes a
company to become a reporter. See the “Changes
in Reporter Status” part of these instructions for
further explanation and reporting directions.
• Interests in Banking Companies: Acquisition,
sale, or transfer of a controlling interest in, or
more than 5 percent of a class of voting securities
of, an existing or new BHC, bank organized
under U.S. law, or FBO (Banking Company for
purposes of the FR Y-10); changes in the level or
type of ownership interest in a Banking
Company; cessation of business of, or liquidation
of, a Banking Company; changes in the principal
activities of a Banking Company; and changes to
information previously reported on the FR Y-10

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction

The following companies (termed Reporters for
purposes of the FR Y-10) are required to file this
report:
•

Top-tier BHCs organized under U.S. law,
regardless of Financial Holding Company (FHC)
status. In the case of a tiered organization (where
one BHC controls another BHC), the top-tier
BHC should file reports on behalf of all lowertier BHCs.

•

Top-tier BHCs that are organized under foreign
law and are Foreign Banking Organizations
(FBOs), regardless of FHC status, but only with
respect to: (1) interests in companies held directly
or indirectly by its highest-tier BHC organized
under U.S. law; and (2) investments made under
Subparts A and C of Regulation K.1

•

Top-tier BHCs that are organized under foreign
laws and are not FBOs, regardless of FHC status.

What Events Must Be Reported

1

Unless it is (1) not a FBO; or (2) a FBO that is not a qualifying FBO
(see next 2 bullets), a top-tier BHC organized under foreign law will be a
reporter for purposes of the FR Y-10F, whether or not it is also a reporter
for purposes of the FR Y-10. If it does not have a lower-tier BHC
organized under U.S. law, a BHC that is organized under foreign law and
that is a FBO also is a reporter for purposes of the FR Y-10, but only with
respect to investments made by it or its affiliates under subparts A and C
of Regulation K.

2

If such a FBO has any U.S. branch, agency, or representative office that
would be reportable on the FR Y-10F were the FBO a FR Y-10F reporter,
the FBO must file a Branch, Agency and Representative Office
Schedule(s) from the FR Y-10F, following the instructions for completing
that schedule.

Interests
in
Nonbanking
Companies:
Acquisition, sale, or transfer of a controlling
interest in an existing or new company other than
a BHC, bank organized under U.S. law or FBO
(Nonbanking Company for purposes of the FR
Y-10); changes in the level or type of ownership
interest in a Nonbanking Company; cessation of
business of, or liquidation of, a Nonbanking
Company; changes in the principal activities of a
Nonbanking Company; and changes to
information previously reported on the FR Y-10
about a Nonbanking Company.
See the
Nonbanking Schedule part of these instructions
for further explanation and reporting directions.
Mergers: A merger involving a Banking or
Nonbanking Company in which the reporter
previously had reported an ownership interest on
the FR Y-10. See the Merger Schedule part of
these instructions for further explanation and
reporting directions.
4(k) Activities: Commencement by a reporter
that is a FHC of an activity it has not previously
conducted, whether the result of acquisition of an
existing Nonbanking Company, formation of a
new Nonbanking Company, or commencement
of a new activity in an existing company. Note: a
reporter must also use this schedule to report any
4(k) activities it is already conducting if it is
conducting the activities through an acquisition
of a going concern or a de novo formation. See
the 4(k) Schedule part of these instructions for
further explanation and reporting directions.
Merchant Banking or Insurance Company
Investments: Certain large merchant banking
investments or insurance company investments.
See the 4(k) Schedule part of these instructions
for further explanation and reporting directions.
Cessation of Status as a Reporter: Any event
that terminates a company’s status as a reporter,
including sale or liquidation of the reporter, sale
or liquidation of all subsidiary banks of a
reporter, or other transactions. See the “Changes
in Reporter Status” part of these instructions for
further explanation and reporting directions.

Changes in Reporter Status
The following are Reportable Events:
• Becoming a Reporter: Any event that causes a
company to become a reporter. To report,
complete a Banking Schedule or Nonbanking
Schedule, as appropriate, with respect to the
reporter itself: if the reporter was a going
concern prior to becoming a reporter, follow
instructions for “Acquisition of a Going
Concern;” if the reporter is a new company,
follow instructions for “De Novo Formation.”
In addition, a new reporter must report interests
in any companies that are going concerns at the
time the reporter becomes a reporter and must
report any activity engaged in by the reporter
under Section 4(k) of the BHC Act (Section
4(k)). Report an interest in a going concern as if
the reporter acquired the interest simultaneously
with becoming a reporter by completing a
Banking Schedule or Nonbanking Schedule, as
appropriate, following directions for “Acquisition
of a Going Concern.” Report activities engaged
in under Section 4(k) as if commenced
simultaneously with becoming a reporter by
completing a 4(k) Schedule, following directions
for “Acquisition of a Going Concern Resulting in
a New Activity.”
A new reporter also must submit an
organizational chart showing the location in the
reporter’s organization of each company in which
the reporter directly or indirectly holds an interest
reportable on the FR Y-10. Because FR Y-10
reporting requirements differ from FR Y-6
reporting requirements, the organizational chart
submitted with the FR Y-10 may be different
from the organizational chart submitted with the
reporter’s FR Y-6 report.
•

FR Y-10 GEN-2

Cessation of Status as a Reporter: Any event
that terminates a company’s status as a reporter.
To report, if termination of reporter status results
from sale or liquidation of a reporter or from the
reporter becoming inactive, complete a Banking
Schedule or Nonbanking Schedule, as
appropriate, with respect to the reporter. Follow
the instructions for reporting the event type
“External Transfer,” “Liquidation,” or “Became
Inactive”, as appropriate, and also check the
event type box next to “No Longer Reportable.”

If termination of reporter status results from sale
or liquidation of a reporter’s subsidiary banks,
complete a Banking Schedule for each such bank,
following the instructions for “External Transfer”
or “Liquidation,” as appropriate. In addition,
submit a Banking Schedule or Nonbanking
Schedule, as appropriate, with respect to the
reporter, but only check the event type box next
to “No Longer Reportable,” provide the date of
the event, and provide the reporter’s legal name
and location in items 2 and 3 of the
Characteristics Section.

Where and When to File this Report
The appropriate Federal Reserve Bank must receive
an original and one copy of this report within 30
calendar days after a reportable event. Earlier
submission would aid the Federal Reserve in
reviewing and processing the report.
If the reporter is a BHC, submit the FR Y-10 to the
same Federal Reserve Bank to which the reporter
submitted its most recent financial statements on the
FR Y-9C or FR Y-9SP. If the BHC is a new reporter,
submit the FR Y-10 to the same Federal Reserve
Bank to which the reporter made application to
become a BHC. If the reporter is a national bank or
state member bank, submit the FR Y-10 to the
Federal Reserve Bank of which the reporter is a
member. If the reporter is an Edge or agreement
corporation, submit the FR Y-10 to the same Federal
Reserve Bank to which the reporter submitted its
most recent financial statements on the Consolidated
Report of Condition and Income for Edge and
Agreement Corporations FR 2886b.
As an
alternative, the reporter may also file the FR Y-10
electronically.
Respondents interested in filing
electronically need to complete a “User Account
Request Form” and send it to the appropriate Federal
Reserve Bank, in order to obtain a User ID and
password. A copy of the “User Account Request
Form” is located on the FR Y-10 Online web site at
https://y10online.federalreserve.gov

though records containing certain categories of
information are exempt from disclosure in whole or
in part.
The exempt categories include trade secrets,
privileged or confidential commercial or financial
information, and information that if disclosed would
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy.
A reporter may request confidential
treatment of information submitted on the FR Y-10
that the reporter believes is exempt from disclosure
on any of these bases.
To request confidential treatment; submit a letter
concurrent with submission of the FR Y-10. The
letter must discuss the legal justification for the
request and must describe the specific nature of the
harm that would result from disclosure of the
information. Unsupported conclusory statements that
disclosure will cause competitive harm or is an
invasion of privacy are insufficient to justify
confidential treatment.
In addition, label as
“Confidential” each item for which confidential
treatment is sought and submit under a separate cover
page marked “Confidential.”
The Federal Reserve Bank will review the request
and notify the reporter of a decision. For further
information, consult the Board’s Rules Regarding
Availability of Information, 12 CFR part 261,
including 12 CFR § 261.15, which governs requests
for confidential treatment.

Additional Information Requests
In some instances, the appropriate Federal Reserve
Bank may request a reporter to submit organization
charts, narrative descriptions, or other information to
supplement information provided on the FR Y-10.
Provision of such information is not a substitute for a
requirement to file a FR Y-10, but can aid in the
understanding of significant acquisitions, mergers,
reorganizations, or other transactions involving
multiple reportable events.

Confidential Treatment

What Is the Legal Authority for the FR Y-10?

Once submitted, a reporter’s FR Y-10 report becomes
a Federal Reserve Board (Board) record and may be
requested by any member of the public pursuant to
the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552
(FOIA). FOIA provides that Board records generally
must be disclosed in response to a FOIA request,

Submission of the FR Y-10 is required under
authority of Sections 4(k) and 5(c)(1)(A) of the Bank
Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. §§ 1843(k),

Specific Instructions for the
Banking Schedule (FR Y-10)
What to Report
Use this schedule to report the acquisition of interests
in a BHC, bank organized under U.S. law, or FBO
(Banking Company for purposes of the FR Y-10),
and other transactions involving interests in Banking
Companies.3 To complete the Banking Schedule,
check the appropriate event type box(es), provide the
date of the reportable event(s), and complete other
items on the schedule as directed in the following
instructions.

Interests in Banking Companies
A reporter’s initial acquisition of an interest in a
Banking Company, including the formation of a toptier BHC, is a reportable event if as a result of the
acquisition, the Reporter directly or indirectly
acquires control of the Banking Company, or directly
or indirectly acquires control of more than 5 percent
of a class of the Banking Company’s voting shares.
The acquisitition of such an interest is reported either
as an “Acquisition of a Going Concern” or as a “De
Novo Formation.” To determine if the reporter
controls the Banking Company, apply the standard
for control found on pp 1-2 of the Nonbanking
Schedule part of these instructions, as if the Banking
Company were the Nonbanking Company.
Once a reporter has acquired such an interest in a
Banking Company, any subsequent sale or transfer of
the interest in whole or in part typically is a
reportable event, as are most changes to the reporter’s
level of ownership in the Banking Company. A
reporter’s liquidation of a Banking Company also is a
reportable event, as are any changes rendering the
reporter’s interest in the Banking Company no longer
reportable. In addition, any change to information
previously reported on this schedule is a reportable
event.
Multiple Direct Holders: In the case of a reportable
event in which a reporter acquires an interest in a
3
For purposes of the FR Y-10, “Banking Company” refers to BHCs and
banks, as those terms are defined in the Bank Holding Company Act, as
well as FBOs. Acquisition of interests in savings associations, trust
companies not accepting demand deposits, industrial loan companies, and
similar institutions should be reported on the Nonbanking Schedule.

Banking Company through more than one direct
holder, the reporter must file a separate Banking
Schedule for each direct holder. As long as the
reporter’s interest in the Banking Company remains
reportable, the reporter must report any subsequent
acquisition of any additional interest in the Banking
Company by any additional direct holders.
Reporting Mergers: When a Banking Company is
merged into a reporter or a reporter’s subsidiary as
part of the same transaction in which the reporter
acquires the Banking Company (i.e., the Banking
Company no longer exists as a legal entity), the
acquisition of that Banking Company should be
reported on the Merger Schedule instead of the
Banking Schedule.
Check box if correction: Check this box to indicate
that previously reported information was filed
incorrectly and has been corrected with the
information provided.
Item 1.a - Event Type
Check the event type box(es) that best describes the
event type being reported. Do not report events that
occur on separate dates on the same schedule
Acquisition of a Going Concern: Initial acquisition
by a direct holder of an interest in a Banking
Company that is a going concern. To report, check
the event type box next to “Acquisition of a Going
Concern,” report the date of the event in Item 1.b,
and complete all sections of the schedule.
Subsequent acquisition by the same direct holder of
additional shares or other additional interest in the
Banking Company should be reported as a “Change
in Ownership.”
De Novo Formation: Opening for business of a new
Banking Company in which a direct holder has an
interest. To report, check the event type box next to
“De Novo Formation,” report the date of the event in
Item 1.b, and complete all sections of the schedule.
An interest in a Banking Company is not reportable
until the Banking Company opens for business.
External Transfer: Sale, divestiture, or other transfer
of a direct holder’s entire previously reported interest
in a Banking Company to a company other than the
reporter or its subsidiaries. To report, check the
event type box next to “External Transfer,” report the

legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the
Characteristics Section.
In addition, in the
Ownership Section, the reporter should list the name
and location of the former direct holder of the
divested company in item 11. Item 9 should be left
blank.
Note: Report any partial external transfer of a
previously reported interest in a Banking Company as
a “Change in Ownership.”
Internal Transfer: Sale or other transfer of a direct
holder’s entire previously reported interest in a
Banking Company to the reporter or to a different
subsidiary of the reporter. To report, check the event
type box next to “Internal Transfer,” report the date
of the event in Item 1.b, the Banking Company’s
legal name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the
Characteristics Section.
In addition, in the
Ownership Section, report the new direct holder’s
(the acquirer’s) name and location in Item 9, and
report the former direct holder’s (the seller’s) name
and location in Item 11. If the event results in any
change in legal authority, also report the new legal
authority code in the Activity and Legal Authority
Section.
Report any partial internal transfer of a previously
reported interest in a Banking Company by filing two
Banking Company Schedules: one as a “Change in
Ownership” by the transferring direct holder and one
as an “Acquisition of a Going Concern” by the
acquiring direct holder. The acquiring direct holder
need only complete Item 2.a in the Characteristics
Section, and complete the Ownership Section as
appropriate, excluding Item 11. If the event results in
any change in legal authority, also report the new
legal authority code in the Activity and Legal
Authority Section.
Change in Ownership: Increase or decrease in a
direct holder’s ownership percentage of a class of
voting shares of a Banking Company if the
percentage changes by one point or more, after
rounding; change in the direct holder’s status with
respect to control of nonvoting shares of the Banking
Company, control of any other ownership interest in
the Banking Company, or control of the Banking
Company or change in the reporter’s status with
respect to control of the Banking Company. A direct
holder’s ownership percentage of a class of voting
securities may change due to acquisition of additional
shares, sale or transfer of some of the direct holder’s

shares, stock redemption, nonparticipation in a share
issuance by the reportable bank, or other causes. To
report, check the event type box next to “Change in
Ownership,” report the date of the event in Item 1.b,
the Banking Company’s legal name in Item 2.a, and

addition, in the Ownership Section, complete Items 9
and 10, as appropriate, to reflect the Change in
Ownership.
Liquidation: Liquidation of a Banking Company in
which a direct holder previously had reported an
interest. For purposes of the FR Y-10, liquidation
refers to final distribution of assets, satisfaction of
liabilities, and closing of capital accounts of a
company, as opposed to sale or transfer of the
company. Liquidation may result from voluntary
dissolution or bankruptcy, and the liquidation process
typically ends with termination of the company’s
legal existence. To report, check the event type boxes
next to “No Longer Reportable” and “Liquidation,”
report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the Banking
Company’s legal name in Item 2.a, and location in
Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section.
Note: A reporter need not file a FR Y-10 if
liquidating a company previously reported as
“Became Inactive.”
Change in Characteristics: Change of a Banking
Company’s legal name or address, or any other
change to information previously reported. To report,
check the event type box next to “Change in
Characteristics” and report the date of the event in
Item 1.b. In addition, to report a name change,
complete Items 2.a and 2.b, and for relocation,
complete Items 3.a and 3.b. For any other change to
this section, report the Banking Company’s legal
name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the
Characteristics Section, and report updated
information for the appropriate items in the section.
Change in Activity or Legal Authority: Change in a
Banking Company’s previously reported primary or
secondary activity, commencement of a secondary
activity, termination of a previously reported activity,
or change in the legal authority under which a
previously reported activity is conducted. To report,
check the event type box next to “Change in Activity
or Legal Authority,” report the date of the event in
Item 1.b, the Banking Company’s legal name in Item
2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics

FR Y-10 BANKING - 2

Section. In addition, in the Activity and Legal
Authority Section, report only the updated
information.
No Longer Reportable: Any transaction that renders
a reporter’s interest in a Banking Company no longer
reportable. In general, once a reporter acquires an
interest in a Banking Company, the interest remains
reportable so long as the Banking Company is
actively engaged in business and: (1) the reporter in
the aggregate directly or indirectly controls more than
5 percent of any class of voting shares of the Banking
Company or (2) the reporter controls the Banking
Company. To determine if the reporter controls the
Banking Company, apply the standard for control
found on pp.1-2of the Nonbanking Schedule part of
these instructions, as if the Banking Company were
the Nonbanking Company. To report, check the
event type box next to “No Longer Reportable.” In
addition, check the event type box corresponding to
the event type that rendered the interest no longer
reportable and follow the instructions for reporting
that event type. Event types that may render an
interest no longer reportable include “External
Transfer,” “Change in Ownership,” “Liquidation,”
“Change in Legal Authority,” and “Became
Inactive.”
Became Inactive: Cessation of business by a
company in which a direct holder previously had
reported an interest. To report, check the event type
boxes next to “No Longer Reportable” and “Became
Inactive,” report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the
Banking Company’s legal name in Item 2.a, and the
location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. If
a Banking Company that is inactive subsequently
becomes active and was not previously reported by
the reporter, report as a “De Novo Formation.”
However, if the reporter had previously reported an
interest in the Banking Company and it subsequently
became inactive and then it was re-activated, report
as a “Change in Activity or Legal Authority.”

Other: If none of the listed event types adequately
describes the reportable event, check the box next to
“Other” and provide a text description in the space
provided.
Item 1.b – Date of Event
Provide the date on which the reportable event took
legal effect:
• Acquisition of a Going Concern or full or partial

Banking Company opened for business;
• Liquidation, or if the Banking Company Became
Inactive:
the date on which the Banking
Company ceased engaging in business;
• Change in Characteristics: the date on which the
name change, relocation, or other change became
legally effective;
• Change in Activity: the date on which the
Banking Company commenced a new activity or
terminated a previously reported activity; or
• Change in Legal Authority: the date on which
the activity is conducted under a new legal
authority .

name.

Debts Previously Contracted: For purposes of the
FR Y-10, acquisition of shares in a BHC or U.S. bank
to secure or collect a debt previously contracted is a
reportable event, even if the Federal Reserve
System’s prior approval is not required. To report
such an acquisition, check the event type box next to
“Debt Previously Contracted” and also report as
“Acquisition of a Going Concern” or “Change in
Ownership,” as appropriate.
FR Y-10 BANKING - 3

Item 3.a – Street Address; City and County;
State/Province, Country; and Zip/Postal Code
Provide the current street address, city and county,
state/province, country, and zip/postal code of the
Banking Company’s main office. Do not use a post
office box as the street address. Report the nine-digit
zip code, if available.
Item 3.b – If Relocation or Correction, Prior
Street Address, City and County; State/Province,
Country; and Zip/Postal Code
In the event of a relocation or correction, provide the
prior street address, city and county, state/province,
country, and zip/postal code of the Banking
Company’s main office. Do not use a post office box
as the street address. Report the nine-digit zip code,
if available.
Item 4 – Date Opened
Provide the date on which the Banking Company
opened for business. Leave blank if not reporting
any of the following: Acquisition of a Going
Concern, De Novo Formation, or a correction to the
Date Open that was previously reported in error.
Item 5 – Fiscal Year End (BHCs Only)
Provide the month and day of the BHC’s fiscal year
end. Leave blank if the Banking Company is not a
BHC.
Item 6 – Banking Company Type
Check the box corresponding to the entity type that
most accurately describes the Banking Company:
• Bank Holding Company (BHC),
• U.S. Commercial Bank,
• U.S. State Chartered Savings Bank, or
• Foreign Banking Organization (FBO).
If none of the listed types adequately describes the
Banking Company, check the box next to “If other,
please describe” and provide a text description.
Item 7 – Business Organization Type
Check the appropriate box to indicate the legal
organization type of the Banking Company. If none
of the listed descriptions adequately describes the
organization type, check the box next to “Other” and
provide a text description.

Item 8 – Is the Banking Company

Statements?
Check “Yes” if the Banking Company is consolidated
in the reporter’s Consolidated Reports of Condition
and Income (FFIEC 031/FFIEC 041) or Consolidated
Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies
(FR Y-9C) reports. Otherwise, check “No.”

Ownership Section
Item 9 – Direct Holder’s Name and Location
Provide the legal name, city, state/province, and
country of the direct holder. If the reporter holds the
interest through more than one direct holder,
complete a separate Banking Schedule for each direct
holder. Leave this item blank if filed by a reporter
about itself or for event type “External Transfer.”
Item 10.a – Direct Holder’s Percentage of a Class
of Voting Shares
If the reporter in the aggregate controls more than 5
percent of a class of the Banking Company’s voting
shares, report the percentage of such class controlled
by the direct holder. If the reporter in the aggregate
controls more than 5 percent of more than one class
of the Banking Company’s voting shares, report the
direct holder’s percentage for the class in which the
reporter controls the highest percentage.
Determine the appropriate percentage by rounding
the actual number down to the nearest whole
percentage. For example, a percentage of 79.85
should be rounded down to 79. Note: There are two
exceptions to this rounding rule:
when the
percentage is greater than 50 but less than 51, report
the percentage as 51, or if the percentage is greater
than 0 but less than 1, report the percentage as 1.
In general, a direct holder is considered to control all
shares that it has the power to vote, but not shares
held in a fiduciary capacity. However, shares held by
the direct holder as fiduciary are deemed controlled
by the direct holder if the shares are held for the
benefit of employees, shareholders, members, or
affiliates of the reporter or any subsidiary of the
reporter, or if the shares are of a BHC or bank
organized under U.S. law and the reporter has
directly or indirectly had the sole power to vote the
shares for more than 2 years. In addition, a security
that is convertible into a voting security at a holder’s

FR Y-10 BANKING - 4

option is deemed to be a share of the class into which
it is convertible.
Item 10.b – Direct Holder’s Percentage of
Nonvoting Equity: Only if the reporter has left Item
10.a blank because it does not control more than 5
percent of any class of the Banking Company’s
voting shares, report the percentage that, of the total
nonvoting equity of the Banking Company, is
controlled by the direct holder.
Report the
percentage rounded down to the nearest whole
percentage. For example, a percentage of 61.75
should be reported as 61.
Note: There are two
exceptions to this rounding rule:
when the
percentage is greater than 50 but less than 51, report
the percentage as 51, or if the percentage is greater
than 0 but less than 1, report the percentage as 1.
Leave blank if the direct holder does not control any
nonvoting shares.
Item 10.c – Direct Holder’s Other Interest
Only if the reporter has left items 10.a and 10.b
blank, check the appropriate box to indicate whether
the direct holder has an ownership interest, other than
voting or nonvoting shares, in the Banking Company.
Such an interest may include: a partnership interest,
exercise of control over the management of the
Banking Company through a management agreement,
or the direct holder’s election of one or more
directors of the Banking Company.
Item 10.d – Control by Direct Holder
Check the appropriate box to indicate whether the
direct holder controls the Banking Company. To
determine if the direct holder controls the Banking
Company, apply the standard for control found on
pp.1-2 in the “Interests in Nonbanking Companies”
section of the Nonbanking Schedule part of these
instructions. Note: In the standard, substitute the
term “reporter” with “direct holder” for each
occurrence and substitute the term “Nonbanking
Company” with “Banking Company” for each
occurrence.
Item 10.e – Control by Reporter
Check the appropriate box to indicate whether the
reporter controls the Banking Company.
To
determine if the reporter controls the Banking
Company, apply the standard for control found on
pp.1-2 of the Nonbanking Schedule part of these
instructions, as if the Banking Company were the
Nonbanking Company.

Item 11 – Former Direct Holder’s Name and
Location
Provide the name and location of the former direct
holder, if the Event Type reported in Item 1.a is an
External or Internal transfer.

Activity and Legal Authority Section
Item 12.a – Primary Activity
Report the activity that generated the largest
percentage of the Banking Company’s gross revenue
during the Banking Company’s most recently
completed fiscal year. For a Banking Company that
has been in operation for less than one year, report
the activity that the reporter expects will generate the
largest percentage of the Banking Company’s gross
revenue during the Company’s first fiscal year.
Item 12.b – Secondary Activity
For Banking Companies other than a bank, report the
activity that generated the second largest percentage
of the company’s gross revenue as of the company’s
most recent fiscal year. For a Banking Company that
has been in operation for less than one year, report
the activity that the reporter expects will generate the
second largest percentage of the Banking Company’s
gross revenue during the Company’s first fiscal year.
Do not report more than one secondary activity. If
the Banking Company does not engage in any
activity other than its primary activity or is a bank,
leave this item blank.
Item 12.c – Termination of Activity
Report the termination of any previously reported
primary or secondary activity.

Specific Instructions for the
Nonbanking Schedule (FR Y-10)

What to Report
Use this schedule to report the acquisition of interests
in any company that is not a BHC, bank organized
under U.S. law, or FBO (Nonbanking Company for
purposes of the FR Y-10) and other transactions
involving interests in Nonbanking Companies, with
certain exceptions.4 For purposes of the FR Y-10
Nonbanking Companies include Edge and agreement
corporations and foreign banks that are not FBOs. In
addition, a reporter that is a Financial Holding
Company and is acquiring an interest in a
Nonbanking Company pursuant to Section 4(k) of the
Bank Holding Company Act should review the 4(k)
Schedule instructions and should report on the
Nonbanking Schedule only as directed in the 4(k)
Schedule instructions. To complete the Nonbanking
Schedule, check the appropriate event type box(es),
provide the date of the reportable event(s), and
complete other items on the schedule as directed in
the following instructions.

Interests in Nonbanking Companies
A reporter’s acquisition of an interest in a
Nonbanking Company is a reportable event if, as a
result of the acquisition, the reporter directly or
indirectly acquires control of the Nonbanking
Company. The acquisition of such an interest is
reported either as an “Acquisition of a Going
Concern” or as a “De Novo Formation.” In all cases,
a reporter that is required to file a regulatory financial
report with the Federal Reserve System about a
Nonbanking Company is also required to file FR Y10 report(s) regarding the subject Nonbanking
Company, and regarding any company (even if it
does not otherwise meet the reporting criteria) that is

4
For purposes of the FR Y-10, “Banking Company” refers to BHCs and
banks as those terms are defined in the Bank Holding Company Act
(BHC Act), as well as to FBOs. Because savings associations, trust
companies not accepting demand deposits, certain industrial loan
companies, and similar institutions are not included in the BHC Act
definition of bank, acquisition of an interest in such an institution should
be reported on the Nonbanking Schedule or 4(k) Schedule, as appropriate.

both a subsidiary of the reporter and a parent of the
subject Nonbanking Company.5.
Control: A reporter controls a Nonbanking Company
for purposes of the FR Y-10 if any of the following
are true:6
• The reporter controls 25 percent or more of any
class of voting securities of the Nonbanking
Company.7 For purposes of this definition of
control, limited partnership interests are generally
considered to be a class of voting securities. 8 For
purposes of reporting on the FR Y-10, however,
limited partnership interests in a limited
partnership entity are reported under “Direct
Holder’s Other Interest,” and general partnership
interests in a limited partnership entity are
reported under “Direct Holder’s Percentage of a
Class of Voting Shares”;
• The reporter elects a majority of the Nonbanking
Company’s board of directors, trustees, general
partners, or others with similar management
responsibilities under the company’s organizing
documents;
• The reporter is a general partner, managing
member, or trustee of the Nonbanking Company;
or
• In certain situations, where the reporter acquires
all or substantially all of the Nonbanking
Company’s assets.
In addition, the reporter is deemed to control a
Nonbanking Company for purposes of the FR Y-10 if
any of the following are true, absent the reporter’s
presentation of evidence of noncontrol to the
appropriate Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal
Reserve Bank’s acceptance of such evidence:
• The reporter has entered into a management
agreement with the Nonbanking Company under
5

However, a reporter need only report information in response to Items
2.a, 3.a, 8, 9 and 10 with respect to a company that does not otherwise
meet the reporting criteria but is both a subsidiary of the reporter and a
parent of the subject Nonbanking Company.
6
As used in this definition of control only, control by a reporter of shares
or an interest refers to the reporter’s control in the aggregate of shares or
interests held directly by the reporter and indirectly by the reporter
through one or more subsidiary. Other references to a reporter in this
definition refer to the reporter acting directly or through any of its
subsidiaries.
7
Definitions for purposes of the FY Y-10 of “voting securities”,
“nonvoting shares”, and “class of voting shares”, are provided in
Glossary under the entry for “voting securities and related terms”.
8
A limited partnership interest is not a voting security if it does not afford
the limited partner any authority to participate in removing or appointing
general partners and the interest also meets the other requirements of the
definition of “Nonvoting shares.”

which the reporter exercises significant influence
over the Nonbanking Company’s general
management or overall operations;
The reporter controls more than 5 percent of a
class of voting securities of the Nonbanking
Company, one or more individuals serve as
director or officer of both the Nonbanking
Company and the reporter, and no person
unaffiliated with the reporter controls 5 percent
or more of the Nonbanking Company;
The reporter controls more than 5 percent of a
class of voting securities of the Nonbanking
Company and together with directors or officers
of the reporter controls more than 25 percent of a
class of voting securities of the Nonbanking
Company;
The reporter controls 10 percent or more of a
class of voting securities of the Nonbanking
Company and an individual serves as both a
director or officer of the Nonbanking Company
and a director or officer of the reporter; or
Staff at the Board or the appropriate Federal
Reserve Bank has informed the reporter that, for
purposes of the FR Y-10, the reporter is deemed
to control the Nonbanking Company.

Exceptions: In general, an interest in a Nonbanking
Company is not reportable unless the reporter directly
or indirectly controls the Nonbanking Company in
one or more of the ways described immediately
above.9 For example, an interest in a Variable
Interest Entity (as defined in Financial Accounting
Standards Board Interpretation No. 46) is not
reportable on the FR Y-10 so long as the reporter
does not control the Company in any of the ways
described above, nor does advising and administering
a mutual fund by itself constitute a reportable interest
of a reporter in that fund. In addition, do not report:
• U.S. Investments of Certain National Banks: An
interest held under authority other than Subpart A
of Regulation K, by a national bank not
controlled by a BHC;
• Companies Held by a Small Business Investment
Company: Companies held directly or indirectly
by Small Business Investment Companies
(SBICs) are not required to be reported on the FR

Some merchant banking or insurance company investments made under
authority of section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act may be
reportable on the FR Y-10 even if the reporter making the investment
does not control the company in which the investment is made. See the
4(k) Schedule for further information on the reportability of merchant
banking and insurance company investments.

•

Y-10. However, if a BHC or a FBO that is a
FHC engaged in merchant banking activities
holds shares in the same merchant banking
investment through a merchant banking vehicle
as well as through as SBIC, the entire investment
is treated as the merchant banking investment,
subject to the reporting criteria;
Debts Previously Contracted An interest in a
Nonbanking Company acquired to secure or
collect a debt previously contracted or in a
Nonbanking Company that solely holds assets
acquired in satisfaction of a debt previously
contracted;
Interests Held as Collateral: An interest held
solely as collateral securing an extension of
credit;
Companies Controlled Through an Insurance
Underwriter: An interest in a Nonbanking
Company organized under U.S. federal or state
law, if controlled directly or indirectly by an
insurance underwriter. This exception does not
apply to either of the following: an interest in a
Nonbanking Company that is the underwriter’s
highest-tier provider in the United States of any
primary line of insurance, or any interest that is a
reportable merchant banking or insurance
company investment as described in the 4(k)
Schedule instructions;
Inactive Companies: An interest in a company
that exists as a matter of law, but does not engage
in any business activity. The interest becomes
reportable once the company begins to engage in
business, as follows: report as either a “De Novo
Formation” if the reporter has not previously
reported an interest in the Nonbanking Company
or report as a “Change in Activity or Legal
Authority” if the reporter has previously reported
an interest in the Nonbanking Company. Note
that the term “inactive companies” includes
companies that have been setup as name-saving
organizations or have been formed or
incorporated but do not yet conduct any business
activity. These types of companies become
reportable only when they commence an activity;
Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV): An interest in a
special purpose vehicle formed for specific
leasing transactions, such as a special purpose
vehicle engaged in a single leasing transaction;
Companies Required to be Conformed or
Divested: An interest in any company which
must be divested, or the activities of which must

FR Y-10 NONBANKING - 2

•

be conformed, pursuant to Sections 4(a)(2) or
4(n)(7) of the BHC Act or pursuant to a
commitment made to the Board or the Federal
Reserve Bank. (See also 12 C.F.R. 225.85).
Certain Interests Held Under Regulation K:
With respect to any company that is held under
authority of Subpart A of Regulation K, but is
not a subsidiary of the Reporter as defined in
Section 211.2(w) of Regulation K,10 do not report
any interest held directly or indirectly by such
company under authority of Subpart A of
Regulation K.

Subsequent Events: Once a reporter has reported the
acquisition of a reportable interest in a Nonbanking
Company, the following events become reportable:
• Any subsequent sale, transfer or change in
ownership affecting the voting interest in whole
or in part which causes a direct holder’s interest
to fall within a different range than that
previously reported;
• The transfer of all or part of a reportable
company to another subsidiary within the
reporter’s organization;
• A reporter’s liquidation of a Nonbanking
Company;
• Any changes rendering the reporter’s interest in
the Nonbanking Company no longer reportable;
or
• Any change to information previously reported
on this schedule is a reportable event.
Multiple Direct Holders: In the case of a reportable
event in which a reporter acquires an interest in a
Nonbanking Company through more than one direct
holder, the reporter must file a separate Nonbanking
Schedule for each direct holder. As long as the
reporter’s interest in the Nonbanking Company
remains reportable, the reporter must report any
subsequent acquisition of any additional interest in
the Nonbanking Company by any additional direct
holders.

10
Note that the definition of “Subsidiary” in Section 211.2(w) of
Regulation K differs from the definition of subsidiary found in the
Glossary appended to these instructions. For example, in general under
Section 211.2(w) of Regulation K, Company B is a subsidiary of
Company A if: Company A directly or indirectly controls more than 50
percent of Company B’s voting securities; Company A is a general
partner of Company B; Company A directly or indirectly controls more
than 50 percent of the equity of Company B; or Company A otherwise
controls Company B.

Reporting Mergers: When a Nonbanking Company
is merged into a reporter or a reporter’s subsidiary as
part of the same transaction in which the reporter
acquires the Nonbanking Company (i.e., the nonbank
company no longer exists as a legal entity), the
acquisition of that Nonbanking Company should be
reported on the Merger Schedule instead of the
Nonbanking Schedule.
Check box if correction: Check this box to indicate
that previously reported information was filed
incorrectly and has been corrected with the
information provided.

Item 1.a - Event Type
Check the event type box(es) that best describes the
event type being reported:
Acquisition of a Going Concern: Initial acquisition
by a direct holder of an interest in a Nonbanking
Company that is a going concern. To report, check
the event type box next to “Acquisition of a Going
Concern,” report the date of the event in Item 1.b,
and complete all sections of the schedule.
Subsequent acquisition by the same direct holder of
additional shares or other additional interests in the
Nonbanking Company or disposition of such shares
or interests should be reported as a “Change in
Ownership.”
De Novo Formation: Opening for business of a new
Nonbanking Company in which a direct holder has
an interest. To report, check the event type box next
to “De Novo Formation,” report the date of the event
in Item 1.b, and complete all sections of the schedule.
An interest in a Nonbanking Company is not
reportable until the Nonbanking Company opens for
business.
External Transfer: Sale, divestiture, or other transfer
of a direct holder’s entire previously reported interest
in a Nonbanking Company, to a company other than
the reporter or its subsidiaries. To report, check the
event type box next to “External Transfer,” report the
date of the event in Item 1.b, the Nonbanking
Company’s legal name in Item 2.a, and location in
Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section. In addition,
in the Ownership Section, the reporter should list the
name and location of the former direct holder of the
divested company in item 11. Item 9 should be left
blank.

Note: Report any partial external transfer of a
previously reported interest in a Nonbanking
Company as a “Change in Ownership.”
Internal Transfer: Sale or other transfer of a direct
holder’s entire previously reported interest in a
Nonbanking Company to the reporter or to a different
subsidiary of the reporter, as part of an internal
reorganization. To report, check the event type box
next to “Internal Transfer,” report the date of the
event in Item 1.b, the Nonbanking Company’s legal
name in Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the

report the former direct holder’s (the seller’s) name
and location in Item 11.
Report any partial internal transfer of a previouslyreported interest in a Nonbanking Company by filing
two Nonbanking Schedules: one as a “Change in
Ownership” by the transferring direct holder and one
as an “Acquisition of a Going Concern” by the
acquiring direct holder. The acquiring direct holder
need only complete Item 2.a in the Characteristics
Section, and complete the Ownership Section, as
appropriate, excluding Item 11. If the event results in
any change in legal authority, also report the new
legal authority code in the Activity and Legal
Authority Section.
Change in Ownership: Increase or decrease in a
direct holder’s ownership percentage of a class of
voting shares of a Nonbanking Company if the
resulting percentage would fall within a range
different from the range previously reported in Item
10.a of the Ownership Section; change in the direct
holder’s status with respect to control of any other
ownership interest in the Nonbanking Company or
control of the Nonbanking Company; or change in
the reporter’s status with respect to control of the
Nonbanking Company. A direct holder’s ownership
percentage of a class of voting securities may change
due to acquisition of additional shares, sale or
transfer of some of the direct holder’s shares, stock
redemption, nonparticipation in a share issuance by
the reportable nonbank, or other causes. To report,
check the event type box next to “Change in
Ownership,” report the date of the event in Item 1.b,
the Nonbanking Company’s legal name in Item 2.a,
and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics
Section. In addition, in the Ownership Section

complete Items 9 and 10, as appropriate, to reflect
the Change in Ownership.
Liquidation: Liquidation of a Nonbanking Company
in which a direct holder previously had reported an
interest. For purposes of the FR Y-10, liquidation
refers to final distribution of assets, satisfaction of
liabilities, and closing of capital accounts of a
company, as opposed to sale or transfer of the
company. Liquidation may result from voluntary
dissolution or bankruptcy, and the liquidation process
typically ends with termination of the company’s
legal existence. To report, check the event type
boxes next to “No Longer Reportable” and
“Liquidation,” report the date of the event in Item
1.b, the Nonbanking Company’s legal name in Item
2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics
Section.
Note: A reporter need not file a FR Y-10 if
liquidating a company previously reported as
“Became Inactive.”
Change in Characteristics: Change of a Nonbanking
Company’s legal name or address or any other
change to information previously reported on the
Characteristics Section of this schedule. To report,
check the event type box next to “Change in
Characteristics” and report the date of the event in
Item 1.b. In addition, to report a name change,
complete Items 2.a and 2.b and for relocation,
complete items 3.a and 3.b. For any other change to
this section, report the Nonbanking Company’s legal
name in Item 2.a and location in Item 3.a of the
Characteristics Section, and report updated
information for the appropriate items in the section.
Change in Activity or Legal Authority: Change in a
Nonbanking Company’s previously reported primary
or secondary activity, commencement of a secondary
activity, termination of a previously reported activity,
or change in the legal authority under which a
previously reported activity is conducted. To report,
check the event type box next to “Change in Activity
or Legal Authority,” report the date of the event in
Item 1.b, the Nonbanking Company’s legal name in
Item 2.a, and location in Item 3.a of the
Characteristics Section. In addition, in the Activity
and Legal Authority Section, report only the updated
information.

FR Y-10 NONBANKING - 4

No Longer Reportable: Any transaction that renders
a reporter’s interest in a Nonbanking Company no
longer reportable. In general, once a reporter
acquires control of a Nonbanking Company, the
reporter’s interests in the Nonbanking Company
remain reportable so long as the Nonbanking
Company is actively engaged in business and the
reporter controls the Nonbanking Company (see the
standard for control found above, under “Interests in
Nonbanking Companies”). To report, check the
event type box next to “No Longer Reportable.” In
addition, check the event type box corresponding to
the event type that rendered the interest no longer
reportable and follow the instructions for reporting
that event type. Event types that may render an
interest no longer reportable include “External
Transfer,” “Change in Ownership,” “Liquidation,”
“Change in Activity or Legal Authority,” and
“Became Inactive.”
Became Inactive: Cessation of business activity by a
company in which a direct holder previously had
reported an interest. To report, check the event type
boxes next to “No Longer Reportable” and “Became
Inactive,” report the date of the event in Item 1.b, the
Nonbanking Company’s legal name in Item 2.a, and
the location in Item 3.a of the Characteristics Section.
If a Nonbanking Company that is inactive
subsequently becomes active and was not previously
reported by the reporter, report as a “De Novo
Formation.” However, if the reporter had previously
reported an interest in the Nonbanking Company and
it subsequently became inactive and then it was reactivated, report the event as a “Change in Activity or
Legal Authority.”
Other: If none of the listed event types adequately
describes the reportable event, check the box next to
“Other” and provide a text description in the space
provided.

its functional regulator
Check the box to indicate the regulator(s) of the
Nonbanking Company, if the Nonbanking Company
is not an insured depository institution but is
regulated by one of the functional regulators listed

FR Y-10 NONBANKING - 5

below. If the Nonbanking Company is not regulated
by one of the functional regulators listed below,
check the box next to “Not Applicable.”
• Not applicable – No functional regulator;
• The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
and the Commodities Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC); or
• The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
only; or
• The Commodities Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) only; or
• A state securities department; or
• A state insurance regulator.
Item 5 – Is the Nonbanking Company a Financial
Subsidiary of an insured Depository Institution?
Check the applicable box to indicate whether or not
the Nonbanking Company is a Financial Subsidiary.
A Financial Subsidiary engages in activities not
permissible for an insured depository institution,
under 12 U.S.C. § 24a in the case of a Financial
Subsidiary of a national bank, or under 12 U.S.C.
§1831w in the case of a Financial Subsidiary of a
state-chartered insured depository institution.
Item 6 – Nonbanking Company Type
Provide the Nonbanking Company type from the list
below. The type selected should be based upon the
legal documents issued by the chartering or licensing
authority or other documents of formation.11 Note
that a reportable change in business entity type is
likely to be associated with a change in activity.
Nonbanking Company Types:
Industrial bank, industrial loan company
or Morris Plan bank
Limited charter bank
Savings and loan association
Federal savings bank
Cooperative bank
Banking Edge or agreement corporation
Depository trust company
Investment Edge or agreement corporation
Foreign bank other than a FBO
Securities underwriter
Securities broker or dealer
Insurance underwriter
Insurance broker or agent
Nondepository trust company
Other holding company

Other company
If “Other company,” describe business activity
Item 7 – Business Organization Type
Check the appropriate box to indicate the legal
business organization type of the Nonbanking
Company.
If none of the listed descriptions
adequately describes the organization type, check the
box for “Other” and provide a text description.
Item 8 – Is the Nonbanking Company
Consolidated in the reporter’s Financial
Statements?
Check “Yes” if the Nonbanking Company is
consolidated in the reporter’s Consolidated Reports
of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031/FFIEC 041) or
Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding
Companies (FR Y-9C) reports. Otherwise, check
“No.”

Ownership Section
Item 9 – Direct Holder’s Name and Location
Provide the legal name, city, state/province, and
country of the direct holder. If the reporter holds the
interest through more than one direct holder,
complete a separate Nonbanking Schedule for each
direct holder.
Leave this item blank on any
Nonbanking Schedule filed by a reporter about itself
or for event type “External Transfer.”
Item 10.a – Direct Holder’s Percentage of a Class
of Voting Shares
If the reporter in the aggregate controls 25 percent or
more of a class of the Nonbanking Company’s voting
shares, check the appropriate box for the percentage
of such class controlled by the direct holder. If the
reporter in the aggregate controls 25 percent or more
of more than one class of the Nonbanking
Company’s voting shares, check the box
corresponding to the direct holder’s percentage for
the class in which the reporter controls the highest
percentage.
Determine the appropriate box to check by rounding
the actual percentage down to the nearest whole
percentage. For example, a percentage of 79.85
should be rounded down to 79. Note: There are two
exceptions to this rounding rule:
when the
percentage is greater than 50 but less than 51, report

11
Companies formed to issue trust preferred securities typically are
reported as “Other company” on Item 6.

FR Y-10 NONBANKING - 6

the percentage as 51, or if the percentage is greater
than 0 but less than 1, report the percentage as 1.
In general, a direct holder is considered to control all
shares that it has the power to vote, but not shares
held in a fiduciary capacity. However, shares held by
the direct holder as fiduciary are deemed controlled
by the direct holder if the shares are held for the
benefit of employees, shareholders, members, or
affiliates of the reporter or any subsidiary of the
reporter. In addition, a security that is convertible
into a voting security at a holder’s option is deemed
to be shares of the class into which the security is
convertible.
Item 10.b – Direct Holder’s Other Interest
Only if the reporter has left Item 10.a blank, check
the appropriate box to indicate whether the direct
holder has an ownership interest, other than voting
shares, in the Nonbanking Company. Such an interest
may include nonvoting shares, a partnership interest,
exercise of control over the management of the
Nonbanking Company through a management
agreement, or the direct holder’s election of one or
more directors of the Nonbanking Company.
Item 10.c – Control by Direct Holder
Check the appropriate box to indicate whether the
direct holder controls the Nonbanking Company. To
determine if the direct holder controls the
Nonbanking Company, apply the standard for control
found in the “Interests in Nonbanking Companies”
section of the instructions for this schedule. Note: In
the standard, substitute the term “reporter” with
“direct holder” for each occurrence.

Regulation K or Regulation Y. However, the control
standard applicable under Subpart A of Regulation K
differs in some respects from the FR Y-10’s control
standard, which is based on Regulation Y. For
example, control exists under Regulation Y when the
reporter owns 25 percent or more of any class of
voting shares of the Nonbanking Company. For
investments made under Subpart A of Regulation K,
control exists when the reporter owns more than 50
percent of the voting shares of the Nonbanking
Company. By using a standard of control based on
Regulation Y, the FR Y-10 captures as reportable
some investments made under Subpart A of
Regulation K (specifically, subsets of joint venture
investments and portfolio investments) that are not
presumed to be and are not otherwise controlled by
the reporter under Regulation K. 12
Accordingly, reporters should use the standard of
control set forth on pp. 1-2 of these Nonbanking
Schedule instructions when determining whether an
investment made under Subpart A of Regulation K
must be reported. However, reporters should rely on
the following definitions of subsidiary, joint venture,
and portfolio investment (which are based on section
211.2 of Regulation K) when responding to item
10.d:
•

•

Item 10.d – Regulation K, Subpart A
Investment
Complete this item only if the interest in the
Nonbanking Company is held under authority of
Subpart A of Regulation K (12 CFR section 211.1 et
seq.).
For interests held under Subpart A of
Regulation K, check the box that best describes the
reporter’s aggregate investment in the Nonbanking
Company.
The FR Y-10 requires the reporting of investments in
Nonbanking Companies that meet the standard of
control found on pp. 1-2 of these Nonbanking
Schedule instructions, regardless of whether those
investments were made under the legal authority of

Portfolio Investment:
An investment in a
Nonbanking Company is a portfolio investment
of a reporter for purposes of item 10.d if the
Nonbanking Company is neither a subsidiary nor
a joint venture.
Joint Venture: An investment in a Nonbanking
Company is a joint venture of a reporter for
purposes of item 10.d if the Nonbanking
Company is not a subsidiary of the reporter, but
the reporter directly or indirectly holds 20
percent or more of the Nonbanking Company’s
voting shares.

12

All subsidiary investments and only certain joint venture investments
made under Subpart A of Regulation K are reportable on the FR Y-10.
Subpart A investments not reportable on the FR Y-10 are subject to an
internal record-keeping requirement. See SR Letter 02-2.
By definition, Subpart A joint venture and portfolio investments are not
presumptively or otherwise controlled by the investor. Joint venture
investments in which the Reporter owns between 25 and 50 percent of the
voting shares or owns between 25 and 50 percent of the equity of the
Nonbanking Company are reportable on the FR Y-10. In general,
portfolio investments are subject only to internal record-keeping
procedures, as are joint venture investments in which the reporter owns
between 20 and 25 percent of the voting shares or 20 and 25 percent of
the equity.

FR Y-10 NONBANKING - 7

•

Subsidiary:
A Nonbanking Company is a
subsidiary of a reporter for purposes of item 10.d
if: the reporter directly or indirectly holds more
than 50 percent of the Nonbanking Company’s
voting shares; the reporter or any of its
subsidiaries is a general partner of the
Nonbanking Company; the reporter directly or
indirectly holds more than 50 percent of the
equity of the Nonbanking Company; or the
reporter directly or indirectly otherwise controls
the Nonbanking Company.
