Loss Sharing
Definition: A method in a purchase and assumption transaction in which the FDIC as receiver agrees to share with the acquirer losses on certain types of loans. Loss sharing may be offered by the receiver in connection with the sale of classified or nonperforming loans that otherwise might not be sold to an acquirer at the time of resolution. The FDIC usually agrees to absorb a significant portion (for example, 80 percent) of future disposition losses on assets that have been designated as "shared loss assets" for a specific period of time (for example, three to five years). The economic rationale for such transactions is that retaining shared loss assets in the banking sector would produce a better net recovery than would the FDIC's liquidation of the assets.
