DC Capital Services Structure • Issue:During the course of the legal restructuring DCCS legal ownership was changed and DCCS became a legal sister company along side of DFS USA. Due to stand alone legal requirements the existing tax interest contingency reserve associated with LILO/SILO transactions would need to be moved from DFS USA to DCCS. • Resolution:Move DCCS entity back under DFS USA as a subsidiary. • Evaluation of proposed resolution: • Legal – simple resolution, overall strategy is maintained • Funding – less funding issues, equity transfer not required • Tax – no change in taxation • Accounting – no additional requirements • M&A – no restriction for any potential M&A activities
