The German Federal Bank (Bundesbank) issued this informational document on July 8, 2013, to outline the technical implementation of the separation between large exposure reporting (COREP) and million credit reporting. It details the new mandatory reporting formats (LE1-LE5), the introduction of a continuous master data submission process with specific identification numbers, and the associated regulatory timelines for institutions. The presentation further explains the modernization of million credit reporting, including the lowering of reporting thresholds and the expansion of the credit definition effective in 2014 and 2015.

Large Exposure Reporting Formats LE1, LE2 and LE3: Breakdown of large exposure notifications according to Art 394 CRR notification obligations: An institution reports all large exposures to the competent authorities, even if they are exempted from the application of Article 395(1), and states the following: a) Name of the customer or group of connected clients to whom the institution granted the large exposure; b) Risk exposure value, possibly before taking into account the effect of credit risk mitigation; c) Type of collateral/security used, with or without cash collateral; d) Risk exposure value after taking into account the effect of credit risk mitigation calculated for the purposes of Article 395(1).

Large Exposure Master Data ❙ Master data forms are subject to GroMiKV-E and are to become valid from 1 January 2014 ❙ Master data procedure for large exposures regulated in § 7 GroMikV-E ❙ STA: Use for new or to be changed borrower master data ❙ STAK: Use for new or to be changed master data of groups of connected clients (GvK) => The term borrower unit is only to be used for million credit reporting ❙ Excursus: The STA can be used for the notification of million credit relevant borrowers (advanced submission); the STAK remains reserved exclusively for large exposure; the annexes GbR and MKNE are only to be used in million credit reporting as well as the annex EA; Special case for data entry platform users: only continuous submission! ❙ The submission procedure changes => immediate continuous submission of large exposure relevant master data 8 July 2013 Page 30 Björn Wehlert
Large Exposure Master Data ❙ From 1 January 2014, Article 4(1)(39) CRR alone is decisive for the aggregation of borrowers into groups of connected clients in the large exposure regime ❙ In the future, no database-side linking of GvK and individual borrowers => Master data search engine is no longer a reference for the composition of GvK (Note: The functionality and availability of the master data search engine does not change due to this!) ❙ No separate number range is created for the large exposure relevant master data of GvKs ❙ Generally, the known naming conventions remain => The master data for GvKs must be prefixed with GK or RE, if a separate group must be created solely for large exposure purposes; generally, the group used for million credit purposes can also be used for large exposure (see below) ❙ The naming of GvKs is based on the top of the group (Controlling / Risk driver) => This means that the previously known groups (only control) continue to be used, regardless of whether the borrower composition is the same for large exposure and million credit 8 July 2013 Page 31 Björn Wehlert
Large Exposure Master Data ❙ New large exposure relevant groups must be reported if the group does not exist in the Bundesbank database ❙ The GvKs will thus generally be used across institutions (as before); possibly, an institution-specific scope will arise as with risk units ❙ Large exposure-related groups are to be formed, for example, in the case of rebuttals => There will be GvKs that are part of a borrower unit ❙ If different strands of borrowers are to be reported under a group top differently from million credit, the individual groups must be designated appropriately => • Million credit: Bank abc AG Frankfurt a. M. Group • Large exposure: Bank abc AG Frankfurt a. M. – Company xyz GmbH Hamburg – Group; Bank abc AG Frankfurt a. M. – Company def AG Kiel – Group, ... 8 July 2013 Page 32 Björn Wehlert
Large Exposure Master Data ❙ The aforementioned naming convention for GvKs applies in particular to the group of local authorities => According to Art. 4(1)(39), institutions have the option of how extensively they aggregate ❙ KNE explanations on the STA are only relevant for the simultaneous notification of a borrower for million credit reporting ❙ Although generally no explanation for the STAK notification is required, the institution must be able to justify the group formation if necessary => Questions may arise, for example, through the comparison of the submitted LE notifications 8 July 2013 Page 33 Björn Wehlert

Modernization of Million Credit Reporting ❙ Changes in the reporting of borrowers and borrower units ❙ Date: 1 January 2014 => first reporting date 31 March 2014 ❙ § 20(6) KWG no longer provides for a privileged borrower address in the future: Local authorities, KfW and others are subject to reporting obligations ❙ § 19(2) KWG will only apply to million credit reporting in the future ❙ Stronger standardization, alignment mostly with formal criteria => Previously known aggregation principles remain generally valid ❙ No rebuttal permitted ❙ Consequence: Existing borrower units may need to be adjusted ❙ Removal of the exemption regulation for local authorities => Borrower units must be created anew ❙ Justification: Different purpose of the two supervisory norms ❙ Reduction of the million credit reporting threshold ❙ § 14 in conjunction with § 64r(10) KWG - Date: 1 January 2015 => first reporting date 31 March 2015 ❙ Stock recording of master data of potential borrowers according to § 64r(10) KWG is possible from 1 January 2015 ❙ Bundesbank is taking preparatory measures to mitigate the expected increase in reporting volume, particularly with regard to master data notifications 10 January 2012 Page 49 Björn Wehlert
