Explanation

a - g

Institution acts as originator

When the ‘institution acts as originator’, as defined in point (13) of Article 4 (1) CRR, the securitisation exposures are the retained positions, even where not eligible for the securitisation framework due to the absence of significant risk transfer. Securitisation exposures in transactions that have achieved significant risk transfer (SRT) shall be presented separately.

Originator institutions shall disclose the carrying amount at the disclosure date of all current securitisation exposures they hold in the securitisation transactions that they originated. As such, on-balance sheet securitisation exposures (e.g. bonds, subordinated loans) as well as off-balance sheet exposures and derivatives (e.g. subordinated credit lines, liquidity facilities, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, etc.) in those securitisation shall be disclosed.

h - k

Institution acts as sponsor

When ‘the institution acts as sponsor’ (as defined in point (14) of Article 4(1) CRR) the securitisation exposures shall include exposures to commercial paper conduits to which the institution provides programme-wide enhancements, liquidity and other facilities. Where the institution acts both as originator and sponsor, it shall avoid double-counting. In this regard, the institution can merge the two columns of ‘institution acts as originator’ and ‘institution acts as sponsor’ and use ‘institution acts as originator/sponsor’ columns.

l - o

Institution acts as investor

Securitisation exposures when ‘the institution acts as an investor’ are the investment positions purchased in third-party deals.

The CRR does not provide an explicit definition for investor. Therefore, in this context it shall be understood as an institution that holds a securitisation position in a securitisation transaction for which it is neither the originator, nor the sponsor.

In case the pool of securitised exposures is a mix of the types of securitisation position, the institution shall indicate the most important type.

Traditional transactions

In accordance with point (13) of Article 242 CRR, in connection with point (9) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 (1), ‘traditional securitisation’ means a securitisation involving the transfer of the economic interest in the exposures being securitised. This shall be accomplished by the transfer of ownership of the securitised exposures from the originator institution to an SSPE or through sub-participation by an SSPE. The securities issued do not represent payment obligations of the originator institution.

In the case of traditional securitisations where the originator does not hold any position, then the originator shall not consider that securitisation in the disclosing of this template.

e, f, j, n

Synthetic transactions

In accordance with point (14) of Article 242 CRR, in connection with point (10) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402, ‘synthetic securitisation’ means a securitisation where the transfer of risk is achieved by the use of credit derivatives or guarantees, and the exposures being securitised remain exposures of the originator institution.

If the institution has purchased protection it shall disclose the net exposure amounts to which it is exposed and which are not subject to the purchased protection under columns originator/sponsor (i.e. the amount that is not secured) of this template. If the institution has sold protection, the exposure amount of the credit protection shall be disclosed in the ‘investor’ column of this template.
