A borrower defaults on a loan. The lender identifies that it is 'structurally subordinated' to a local bank at the subsidiary level.
What does this mean for the lender's recovery?
- Both the lender and the bank share equally in the subsidiary's own assets under a pari passu sharing structure.
- The local bank gets paid in full from the subsidiary's assets before the lender receives anything from that subsidiary.
- The lender is automatically treated as senior to the local bank simply because the parent company owns that subsidiary outright.
- The lender can safely ignore the local bank's direct claim since the parent company remains the primary named borrower on the loan.
