CFR /  Title 12  /  Part 324  /  Sec. 324.21 Minority interest.

(a) Applicability. For purposes of Sec. 324.20, an FDIC-supervised institution is subject to the minority interest limitations in this section if:

(b) Difference in capital adequacy standards at the subsidiary level. For purposes of the minority interest calculations in this section, if the consolidated subsidiary issuing the capital is not subject to capital adequacy standards similar to those of the FDIC-supervised institution, the FDIC-supervised institution must assume that the capital adequacy standards of the FDIC-supervised institution apply to the subsidiary.

(1) The common equity tier 1 minority interest of the subsidiary; minus
