Calculation of the number of obligors

In EBA/GL/2017/16 paragraph 73 it is explained that in the calculation of the one-year default rates the number of obligors is used. Is it always mandatory to count one legal entity as one obligor, or can a group of legal entities for which there is no difference in risk due to an appropriate guarantee (i.e. those will default together) be counted as one obligor?

Use of rating before or after transfer in the calculation of the one-year default rates

In a situation where a parent institution (good rating) has issued a full encompassing guarantee for a subsidiary - bad rating, thus supporting the subsidiary before a default event, and preventing (or reducing the risk of) a default – would this constitute a substitution effect due to a credit risk mitigation under paragraph 74 of EBA Guidelines EBA/GL/2017/16?
