    This question was originally posted in our Compliance Master Group forum by mbarnes.

    We have a customer that may become a Board Member and he has existing loans with the Bank.

We can’t find an explaination under Reg. O regarding modifing a loan vs. doing maintenance on a loan? Can anyone give me any guidance on this?
