Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (205 ILCS 5/35.2) (from Ch. 17, par. 345)
    Sec. 35.2. Limitations on investments in and loans to affiliates.
    (a) Restrictions on transactions with affiliates.
        (1) A state bank and its subsidiaries may engage in a
    
covered transaction with an affiliate, as expressly provided in this Section 35.2, only if:
            (A) in the case of any one affiliate, the
        
aggregate amount of covered transactions of the state bank and its subsidiaries will not exceed 10% of the unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus of the state bank; and
            (B) in the case of all affiliates, the aggregate
        
amount of covered transactions of the state bank and its subsidiaries will not exceed 20% of the unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus of the state bank.
        (2) For the purpose of this Section, any transactions
    
by a state bank with any person shall be deemed to be a transaction with an affiliate to the extent that the proceeds of the transaction are used for the benefit of, or transferred to, that affiliate.
        (3) A state bank and its subsidiaries may not
    
purchase a low-quality asset from an affiliate unless the bank or such subsidiary, pursuant to an independent credit evaluation, committed itself to purchase such asset prior to the time such asset was acquired by the affiliate.
        (4) Any covered transactions and any transactions
    
exempt under subsection (d) between a state bank and an affiliate shall be on terms and conditions that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices.
    (b) Definitions. For the purpose of this Section, the following rules and definitions apply:
        (1) "Affiliate" with respect to a state bank means
            (A) any company that controls the state bank and
        
any other company that is controlled by the company that controls the state bank;
            (B) a bank subsidiary of the state bank;
            (C) any company
                (i) controlled directly or indirectly, by a
            
trust or otherwise, by or for the benefit of shareholders who beneficially or otherwise control, directly or indirectly, by trust or otherwise, the state bank or any company that controls the state bank; or

                (ii) any investment company with respect to
            
which a state bank or any affiliate thereof is an investment advisor. An investment advisor is defined as "any person (other than a bona fide officer, director, trustee, member of an advisory board, or employee of such company, as such) who pursuant to contract with such company regularly furnishes advice to such company, with respect to the desirability or investing in, purchasing, or selling securities or other property shall be purchased or sold by such company, and any other who pursuant to contract with a person as described above regularly performs substantially all of the duties undertaken by such person described above; but does not include a person whose advice is furnished solely through uniform publications to subscribers thereto or a person who furnishes only statistical and other factual information, advice regarding economic factors and trends, or advice as to occasional transactions in specific securities, but without generally furnishing advice or making recommendations regarding the purchase or sale of securities, or a company furnishing such services at cost to one or more investment companies, insurance companies or other financial institutions, or any person the character and amount of whose compensation for such services must be approved by a court.
            (E) any company the Commissioner determines as
        
having a relationship with the state bank or any subsidiary or affiliate of the state bank, such that covered transactions by the state bank or its subsidiary with the company may be affected by the relationship to the detriment of the state bank or its subsidiary.
        (2) None of the following are considered to be an

premises of the state bank;
            (C) any company engaged solely in conducting a

exercise of rights arising out of a bona fide debt previously contracted, but only for the period of time specifically authorized under applicable State and federal law or regulations or, in the absence of such law or regulation, for a period of 2 years from the date of the exercise of such rights or the effective date of this Act, whichever date is later, subject, upon application, to authorization by the Commissioner for good cause shown of extensions of time for not more than one year at a time, with such extensions not to exceed an aggregate of 3 years.

notice and opportunity for hearing, that such company or shareholder, directly or indirectly, exercises a controlling influence over the management or policies of the other company.
            (B) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
        
Section, no company shall be deemed to own or control another company by virtue of its ownership or control of shares in a fiduciary capacity, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) or because of its ownership or control of such shares in a business trust.
        (4) "Subsidiary" with respect to a specified company
    
means a company that is controlled by such specified company.

under the laws of any State or territory of the United States including the District of Columbia, any national bank, and any trust company.

or compromised due to the deteriorating financial condition of the obligor.
    (c) Collateral for certain transactions with affiliates.
        (1) Each loan or extension of credit to, or
    
guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit issued on behalf of, an affiliate by a state bank or its subsidiary shall be secured at the time of the transaction by collateral having a market value equal to

        (3) A low-quality asset shall not be acceptable as
    
collateral for a loan or extension of credit to, or guarantee, acceptance, or letter of credit issued on behalf of, an affiliate.
        (4) The securities issued by an affiliate of the
    
state bank shall not be acceptable as collateral for a loan or extension of credit to, or guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit issued on behalf of, that affiliate or any other affiliate of the state bank.
