Row number Explanation
1 to 8 PD scale CCR exposures shall be allocated to the appropriate bucket of the fixed PD scale based on the PD estimated for each obligor assigned to this exposure class (without considering any substitution due to existence of guarantee or credit derivative). Institutions shall map exposure by exposure to the PD scale provided in the template, also taking into account continuous scales. All defaulted exposures shall be included in the bucket representing PD of 100 %.
1 to x Exposure class X This refers to the different exposure classes listed in Article 147 of Chapter 3 of Title II of Part Three CRR.
x and y Sub-total (Exposure class X) / Total (all CCR relevant exposure classes) The (sub-) total of exposure values, risk weighted exposure amounts and number of obligors shall just be the sum of the respective columns. Concerning the different parameters Average PD, Average LGD, Average Maturity and RWEA density the below definitions apply with respect to the sample of exposure class X or all CCR relevant exposure classes.
Column letter Explanation
a Exposure value Exposure value (see definition provided in column g of template EU CCR1), broken down by exposure classes and the given PD scale as set out in Chapter 3 of Title II of Part Three CRR
b Exposure weighted average PD (%) Average of individual obligor grade PDs weighted by their corresponding exposure value in column a of this template
c Number of obligors The number of legal entities or obligors allocated to each bucket of the fixed PD scale, which were separately rated, regardless of the number of different loans or exposures granted Where different exposures to the same obligor are separately rated, they shall be counted separately. Such situation may take place if separate exposures to the same obligor are assigned to different obligor grades in accordance with the second sentence of point (e) of Article 172(1) CRR.
d Exposure weighted average LGD (%) Average of obligor grade LGDs weighted by their corresponding exposure value The disclosed LGD shall correspond to the final LGD estimate used in the calculation of own funds requirements obtained after considering any CRM effects and downturn conditions where relevant. In the case of exposures subject to the double default treatment the LGD to be disclosed shall correspond to the one selected in accordance with Article 161 (4) CRR. For defaulted exposures under A-IRB Approach, provisions laid down in point (h) of Article 181(1) CRR shall be considered. The disclosed LGD shall correspond to the estimate of LGD in-default.
e Exposure weighted average maturity (years) Average of obligor maturities in years weighted by their corresponding exposure value in column a of this template. The disclosed value of maturity shall be determined in accordance with Article 162 CRR.
f RWEA Risk weighted exposure amounts calculated in accordance with the requirements laid down in Chapter 3 of Title II of Part Three CRR; for exposures to central governments and central banks, institutions and corporates, the risk weighted exposure amount calculated in accordance with Article 153(1) to (4) CRR; the SME and infrastructure supporting factor determined in accordance with Article 501 CRR and Article 501a CRR shall be taken into account; for equity exposures under the PD/LGD approach, the risk weighted exposure amount calculated in accordance with Article 155(3) CRR
g Density of risk weighted exposure amounts Ratio of the total risk weighted exposure amounts (in column f of this template) to the exposure value (in column a of this template)

Legal references and instructions Legal references and instructions
Column reference 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.
a – d; h, i, l, m Traditional transactions In accordance with point (13) of Article 242 CRR, in connection with point (9) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 [^E0045], ‘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.
a, b, h, l, STS exposure Total amount of STS securitisation positions in accordance with the criteria set out in Articles 18 to 26 of the Regulation (EU) 2017/2402
