(1) The Company consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary that will absorb the majority of the expected losses,
majority of the expected residual returns or both.
(2) The maximum exposure to loss represents the amount of loss the Company would incur in the unlikely event that all of the
assets in the VIEs became worthless.
(3) The difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the maximum exposure to loss is the Companys variable
interest in the VIEs. In the event that the assets of the VIEs became completely worthless, the Company would lose its variable
interest in the VIEs. The Company is not required to provide any support to these entities other than what it was previously
contractually required to provide, therefore the Companys maximum exposure to loss is limited to its variable interests in the
VIEs.
Note 21
Regulatory Matters
The Company is subject to capital adequacy guidance adopted by the Federal Reserve Board (the Federal Reserve), and CONA and
COBNA (collectively, the Banks) are subject to capital adequacy guidelines adopted by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (the OCC, and with the Federal Reserve, collectively, the regulators). The capital adequacy guidelines set minimum
risk-based and leverage capital requirements that are based on quantitative and qualitative measures of their assets and off-balance
sheet items. The Federal Reserve holds the Corporation to similar minimum capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can result in possible additional, discretionary actions by a federal banking agency that, if undertaken, could have a
material adverse effect on the Corporations consolidated financial statements.
