Calculation of interest rate risk in the investment portfolio - Standardized EVE risk measure (only reported in the last month of each quarter). The maximum amount registered under items 3650000X shall be recorded, that is, the maximum loss registered for the 6 possible scenarios is taken. This item will always be positive (point 5.4.4.4 of the regulations on “Guidelines for risk management in financial entities”). When this measure exceeds 15% of capital level 1, the entity will be identified as an “atypical entity” and SEFyC may require it to adopt specific measures (as established in point 5.6 of the regulations on “Guidelines for risk management in financial entities”). 8.1.3.Code 70700000.

Amounts in US dollars shall be converted to pesos using the reference exchange rate corresponding to the last business day of the month prior to that for which the contribution settlement corresponds. Ic = [ (Ipr/f + Iar/a + 2 * Icamels) / 4] - Irpc/Kmin The assigned rating shall be considered for the calculation of the payable contribution in the third month following notification. While the SEFyC rating (“CAMELS”) is not yet available, the calculation of the correction index will arise from the following expression: Ic = ((Ipr/f + Iar/a)/2) - Irpc/Kmin Ipr/f () = [(Minimum provisions / Financing and Guarantees) / 0.04] ** 1.2 Minimum provisions: those determined in accordance with regulations on minimum provisions for uncollectible risk, regarding concepts reported in Section B, point 2. of the Information Regime for Debtors of the Financial System. Financing and guarantees: corresponding information shall be obtained from Section B, point 2. of the Information Regime for Debtors of the Financial System. (The index value will be bounded between 1 and 2.5) Iar/a () = {[APRc / (A + (PFB x CCF))] / 0.70} ** 1.3 APRc = ∑Codes 11000000 to 12800000 (except 11100000) + 12550000 + [∑Code 13X00000 + Code 14000000 + Code 86300000] * 12.5 + 15000000. The amounts of the aforementioned items (detailed in Section 3. of the Minimum Capital Requirement and Integration regime) shall be considered by their weighted value. A = Σ Codes 11000000 to 12500000, 12600000 to 12800000 (except 11100000, 1221000/CCF, 1222000/CCF and 12300000) of the information regime on Minimum Capital (Unweighted Amounts).

PFB x CCF = Codes 1221000/CCF and 1222000/CCF (amounts multiplied by the Credit Conversion Factor). (The index value will be bounded between 1 and 2) Irpc / Kmin = (Minimum capital integration + Provisions for uncollectible risk established in excess of the minimums) / Minimum capital requirement (for credit risk, market risk for positions on the last day of the month and operational). (The indicator result will be taken from the table recorded in point 7.1 of the regulations on “Application of the deposit guarantee insurance system”). To obtain the aforementioned ratio, the following concepts shall be considered: Minimum Capital Information Regime: Irpc · Code 70200000: third month prior to the contribution due date. plus: · Provisions established in excess of the minimums set forth in the regulations on “Debtors Classification”, determined according to the following calculation: · Balance sheet accounts balances: 121135, 125135, 126135, 131601 / 901, 132301, 135601 / 901, 136301, 141301, 142301, 145301, 146301, 151312, 155312, 171302, 175302, 176302, 340018.
