MA(BS)3(IIIe)/P.1 (09/2022) Completion Instructions Return of Capital Adequacy Ratio Part IIIe – Risk-weighted Amount for Exposures to Central Counterparties Form MA(BS)3(IIIe) Introduction

1. Form MA(BS)3(IIIe) of Part III should be completed by each authorized institution (AI) incorporated in Hong Kong regardless of the approach adopted by the AI for calculating its credit risk for non-securitization exposures.
2. This Form captures credit exposures to central counterparties (CCPs) calculated under Division 4 of Part 6A of the Banking (Capital) Rules (BCR). This Form and its completion instructions should be read in conjunction with the BCR and the relevant supervisory policy/guidance related to the capital adequacy framework. Figure 11 should be referred to when reading instructions related to multi-level client structure. Figure 1

1 The structure shown in Figure 1 is only a hypothetical case for ease of cross-referencing and is not meant to represent any typical or existing indirect clearing structure. CCP Clearing member Direct client (also a higher level client of indirect client A) Indirect client A (also a higher level client of indirect client B and a lower level client of the direct client) Indirect client B (also an end client and a lower level client of indirect client A) Multi-level client structure Offsetting transaction Offsetting transaction CCP-related transaction (or offsetting transaction if multi￾level client structure is involved) CCP-related transaction

MA(BS)3(IIIe)/P.2 (09/2022) 3. This Form is divided into two divisions: (a) Division A is for reporting the reporting AI’s credit exposures to CCPs arising from default fund contributions; and (b) Division B is for reporting the reporting AI’s credit exposures to CCPs set out in paragraph 4 below by reference to the role played by the AI in respect of the centrally cleared transactions concerned. 4. Exposures covered by Division B of this Form (a) Reporting AI as clearing member of a CCP (i) The AI’s default risk exposures to the CCP in respect of derivative contracts and securities financing transactions (SFTs) entered into with the CCP for the AI’s own purposes. (ii) The AI’s default risk exposures to the CCP in respect of offsetting transactions entered into with the CCP in the capacity of a clearing intermediary between the CCP and the AI’s direct clients if the AI is obliged to reimburse the direct clients for any loss suffered by them due to changes in the value of their transactions in the event that the CCP defaults. (iii) The AI’s default risk exposures to the CCP arising from guarantees provided by the AI to its direct clients for any loss due to changes in the value of the direct clients’ transactions in the event that the CCP defaults. (b) Reporting AI as direct client of a clearing member of a CCP (i) Exposures listed below if they are eligible for being risk-weighted in a manner as if they were default risk exposures to qualifying CCPs (QCCPs) under section 226ZA(3) or (4) or section 226ZB(2) or (3) of the BCR— (A) the AI’s default risk exposures in respect of CCP-related transactions entered into with the clearing member in the capacity of an end client; (B) the AI’s default risk exposures in respect of offsetting transactions entered into with the clearing member in the capacity of a clearing intermediary within a multi-level client structure; and (C) the AI’s default risk exposures in respect of transactions entered into with the CCP under which the AI’s performance is guaranteed by the clearing member. (c) Reporting AI as indirect client and clearing intermediary within a multi￾level client structure (e.g. indirect client A in Fig. 1)

MA(BS)3(IIIe)/P.3 (09/2022) (i) The AI’s default risk exposures in respect of offsetting transactions entered into with a higher level client within the structure (e.g. the direct client in Fig. 1) if such exposures are eligible for being risk￾weighted in a manner as if they were default risk exposures to QCCPs under section 226ZBA(5)(a) or (b) of the BCR. (d) Reporting AI as indirect client and end client (e.g. indirect client B in Fig.

1. within a multi-level client structure (i) The AI’s default risk exposures in respect of CCP-related transactions entered into with a higher level client within the structure (e.g. indirect client A in Fig. 1) if such exposures are eligible for being risk-weighted in a manner as if they were default risk exposures to QCCPs under section 226ZBA(5)(a) or (b) of the BCR. (e) Regardless of the role played by the reporting AI, its credit exposures to a CCP arising from any unsegregated collateral posted by the AI and held by the CCP where neither of the following is true— (i) the collateral is included as part of the AI’s default risk exposures to the CCP under section 226V(2)(a) of the BCR; (ii) the collateral is included as part of the AI’s default risk exposures to the CCP under Division 1A, 2, 2A or 2B of Part 6A of the BCR.

5. Exposures not covered by this Form This Form does not cover the following exposures which should be risk￾weighted in accordance with Part 4, 5 or 6 of the BCR and reported in Form MA(BS)3(IIIa), (IIIb) or (IIIc), as the case requires— (a) credit exposures arising from delayed or failed settlement of— (i) cash transactions in securities (other than repo-style transactions); (ii) cash transactions in foreign exchange or commodities; and (iii) cash-settled derivative contracts; (b) if the reporting AI is a clearing member of a CCP, its default risk exposures in respect of— (i) offsetting transactions and CCP-related transactions entered into with its direct clients; and (ii) guarantees provided by the AI to the CCP on the performance of its direct clients; (c) if the reporting AI is a direct client of a clearing member of a CCP (regardless of whether the clearing member acts as a clearing intermediary or guarantees the AI’s transactions with the CCP)—

MA(BS)3(IIIe)/P.4 (09/2022) (i) the AI’s exposures to the clearing member mentioned in paragraph 4(b)(i)(A), (B) and (C) above if they are not eligible for being risk￾weighted in a manner as if they were default risk exposures to QCCPs under sections 226ZA(3) or (4) or section 226ZB(2) or (3) of the BCR; and (ii) the AI’s default risk exposures in respect of offsetting transactions or CCP-related transactions entered into with a lower level client within a multi-level client structure (e.g. indirect client A in Fig. 1); (d) if the reporting AI is an indirect client and a clearing intermediary within a multi-level client structure (e.g. indirect client A in Fig. 1)— (i) the AI’s exposures mentioned in paragraph 4(c)(i) above if they are not eligible for being risk-weighted in a manner as if they were default risk exposures to QCCPs under section 226ZBA(5)(a) or (b) of the BCR; and (ii) the AI’s default risk exposures in respect of offsetting transactions or CCP-related transactions entered into with a lower level client within the structure (e.g. indirect client B in Fig. 1); (e) if the reporting AI is an indirect client and end client within a multi-level client structure (e.g. indirect client B in Fig. 1)— (i) the AI’s exposures mentioned in paragraph 4(d)(i) above if they are not eligible for being risk-weighted in a manner as if they were default risk exposures to QCCPs under section 226ZBA(5)(a) or (b) of the BCR; (f) if— (i) the reporting AI has posted unsegregated collateral with a CCP, a clearing member or a higher level client; (ii) the collateral is held by a person other than the CCP; and (iii) the collateral is not included as part of the AI’s default risk exposures to the CCP, clearing member or higher level client under section 226V(2)(a) and Division 1A, 2, 2A or 2B of Part 6A of the BCR, the credit exposures to that person in respect of the unsegregated collateral. 6. The transactions mentioned in paragraph 5(b), (c), (d) and (e) above are also subject to CVA capital charge. Reporting AIs should calculate the CVA capital charge for these transactions in accordance with Division 3 of Part 6A of the BCR and report the amount in Form MA(BS)3(IIIf). Section A: Definitions and General Instructions 7. If a CCP is no longer qualified as a QCCP, a reporting AI may, unless otherwise instructed by the Monetary Authority, within 3 months from the date the CCP

MA(BS)3(IIIe)/P.5 (09/2022) lost its QCCP status, continue to calculate the risk-weighted amounts of its default fund contribution and default risk exposures to the CCP as if the CCP were a QCCP. When the 3-month period expires, the AI should calculate the risk-weighted amounts of its exposures to the CCP in accordance with the requirements applicable to a non-qualifying CCP (non-QCCP). 8. In Division B of this Form— (a) “Principal Amount”— (i) in the case of derivative contracts, means the nominal notional amounts of the contracts, which should not be confused with any effective notional amount or adjusted notional calculated for the contracts under Part 6A of the BCR. The amount reported should be the gross sum of the nominal notional amounts of the contracts (which is the sum of the nominal notional amounts of the contracts, without the nominal notional amounts of contracts with positive replacement costs being reduced by the nominal notional amounts of contracts with negative or zero replacement costs, regardless of whether the contracts are subject to recognized netting); (ii) in the case of SFTs, means the principal amounts (within the meaning of section 226MG of the BCR) of— (A) any securities sold or lent to counterparties by the reporting AI under the SFTs; (B) any money paid or lent to counterparties by the reporting AI under the SFTs; and (C) any securities or money provided to counterparties as collateral by the reporting AI under the SFTs; and (iii) in the case of unsegregated collateral posted, means the amount calculated in accordance with section 71(2), 118(2), 163(2A) or 164(2)(b) of the BCR, as the case requires. (b) “Non-IMM(CCR) Default Risk Exposure”, in relation to derivative contracts and SFTs for which the reporting AI does not have an IMM(CCR) approval or for which the reporting AI is permitted under section 10B(5) or (7) of the BCR not to use the IMM(CCR) approach, means— (i) the outstanding default risk exposure of the derivative contracts calculated by using the current exposure method or SA-CCR approach; or (ii) the default risk exposure of the SFTs calculated under Division 2B of Part 6A of the BCR. (c) “IMM(CCR) Default Risk Exposure”, in relation to derivative contracts and SFTs for which the reporting AI has an IMM(CCR) approval, means

MA(BS)3(IIIe)/P.6 (09/2022) the outstanding default risk exposure of the derivative contracts and the default risk exposure of the SFTs calculated by using the IMM(CCR) approach. (d) “Collateral posted Principal Amount” means the total principal amount of the credit exposures mentioned in paragraph 4(e) above (e.g. unsegregated collateral held by a CCP for purposes other than securing the default risk exposures in respect of contracts or transactions of the AI cleared by the CCP), and does not include variation margins mentioned in paragraph 9 below. (e) “Total Exposure After CRM” means— (i) subject to subparagraphs (ii) and (iii)— (A) in the case of items 1b, 3b and 3c—the total of the amounts reported in columns (B2) and (B3); (B) in the case of items 2a to 2g—the total of the amounts reported in columns (B2), (B3) and (B4); (C) in the case of items 1c, 3d to 4f—the amount reported in column (B4); (ii) if any of the amounts reported in columns (B2) and (B3) is covered by recognized credit risk mitigation (CRM) that has not been taken into account in the default risk exposure calculations conducted pursuant to Part 6A of the BCR—the amounts determined in accordance with paragraphs 20 and 21 below; or (iii) if any of the amounts reported in column (B4) is covered by recognized CRM—the amounts determined in accordance with paragraphs 20 and 21 below. (f) “Risk-weighted Amount” means the amount calculated by multiplying the amount reported in column (B5) by the risk-weight specified in column (B6). 9. In cases where the reporting AI is a clearing member of a CCP, any excess variation margin2 held by the CCP that is not yet returned to the reporting AI should be regarded as a default risk exposure to the CCP. If the excess variation margin has not been taken into account in calculating the default risk exposure of the derivative contracts or SFTs to which the excess variation margin relates under Division 1A, 2, 2A or 2B of Part 6A of the BCR, the amount of such variation margin should be reported in column (B1) and in either column (B2) or column (B3) 3 , as the case requires.

2 Excess variation margin refers to the amount posted by the AI that is in excess of the amount required under the margin agreement entered into with the CCP. 3 That is, the excess variation margin must be reported in column (B2) or (B3) as a separate exposure.

C.5 Items 5 and 6 - total risk-weighted amount for exposures to CCPs 17. Report in item 5 the sum of the subtotals of the risk-weighted amounts reported in Division A and Division B. 18. Report in item 6 the total risk-weighted amount of the reporting AI’s exposures to CCPs after applying the cap mentioned in section 226X(10) and (11) of the BCR. C.6 CRM Treatments 19. In paragraphs 20 and 21, “recognized CRM” refers to the following forms of recognized CRM afforded to credit exposures that fall within the scope of this Form– (a) recognized guarantees and recognized credit derivative contracts; and (b) recognized collateral received by a reporting AI under SFTs where the default risk exposures of the SFTs are calculated in accordance with section 226MJ of the BCR. 20. A reporting AI may take into account recognized CRM only in the manner permitted under Division 4 of Part 6A of the BCR. In other words— (a) in the case of default risk exposures to non-QCCPs, the AI, regardless of the approach adopted by it for the calculation of credit risk for non￾securitization exposures, should take into account the CRM effect of recognized CRM in accordance with Part 4 of the BCR; (b) in the case of default risk exposures to QCCPs— (i) reporting AIs using the STC approach should take into account the CRM effect of recognized CRM in accordance with Part 4 of the BCR; (ii) reporting AIs using the BSC approach should take into account the CRM effect of recognized CRM in accordance with Part 5 of the BCR; and (iii) reporting AIs using the IRB approach should take into account the CRM effect of recognized guarantees and recognized credit derivative contracts in the following manner:

MA(BS)3(IIIe)/P.16 (09/2022) (A) subject to subparagraph (B) below, reporting AIs should apply Part 4 of the BCR for recognition of the CRM effect in determining the risk-weighted amounts of the default risk exposures to QCCPs; (B) if— (1) a default risk exposure to a QCCP is fully covered by a recognized guarantee or recognized credit derivative contract; and (2) the AI uses the IRB approach to calculate its credit risk for exposures to the guarantor of the recognized guarantee concerned or the counterparty to the recognized credit derivative contract concerned, as the case may be, the AI should apply Part 6 of the BCR for recognition of the CRM effect in determining the risk-weighted amount of the default risk exposure to the QCCP (i.e. by allocating the risk-weight attributable to the credit protection provider as determined under the IRB approach to the default risk exposure to the QCCP). 21. The reporting AI should report exposures covered by recognized CRM in the following manner— (a) First, divide the exposure concerned into two portions: the credit protection covered portion and the credit protection uncovered portion; (b) Second, report the credit protection covered portion in column (B5) and in the row for the risk-weight applicable to the credit protection provider or the recognized collateral concerned; and (c) Lastly, report the credit protection uncovered portion in column (B5) and in the row for the risk-weight applicable to the CCP determined in accordance with Division 4 of Part 6A of the BCR.
