ANNEX I

Filling Notes for the "Prudential Limits for Large Exposures" Form

1. The "Prudential Limits" form is applicable to financial institutions for calculating their large exposures according to the method provided for in the Notice on prudential limits for large exposures. The reporting to be made 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 Bank of 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.

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.
