ANNEX I
Filling notes for the form "Prudential Limits for Large Exposures"

1. The "Prudential Limits" form is applicable to financial institutions to calculate their large exposures according to the method provided for in the Notice on prudential limits for large exposures. The information to be provided in the form must be carried out in accordance with the instructions set out in this Instruction.

2. When filling in the form, all exposures must be considered, and those denominated in foreign currency must be converted into Kwanzas, at the reference exchange rate of the Banco Nacional de Angola for the respective date.

3. The tabs "GR_01" and "GR_02" must be filled in with all exposures to counterparties, individually. The tabs "GR_03" and "GR_04" are analogous to the first two, with the particularity that all individual exposures are grouped by groups of interconnected counterparties. In the case where the counterparty does not belong to any group of interconnected counterparties, "No Group" must be entered in the "Group" column.

4. In the context of filling in the form, it is necessary to take into account the items of the Manual of the Accounting Plan of Financial Institutions (CONTIF), due to the need for their use in calculating the exposures considered in Article 9 of the Notice on prudential limits for large exposures.

5. In this context, the scope of the notes in the form is as follows:

From tabs "GR_01" and "GR_03":

a. The columns "Counterparty", "Risk Position Reference", "Country", and "Group" serve to identify the counterparty to which exposures have been established. Specifically, in the "Counterparty" column, the legal name of the person, singular or collective, to which the financial institution is exposed must be entered; the "Risk Position Reference" column serves as a unique identifier of the operation according to the financial institution's information systems (e.g., credit contract number); the "Country" column serves to identify the country of origin of the counterparty; the "Group" column serves to identify, if relevant, the economic group to which the counterparty belongs.

b. The column "Holder of Qualified Participations? Yes/No" in tabs "GR_01" and "GR_03" serves to determine whether the counterparty to which the financial institution is exposed holds qualified participations, for the purpose of calculating the limit established in paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the Notice on prudential limits for large exposures.
