Schedule 1
(New rules to be added to Part I (General Rules) of the Data Field Rules for the Post-Accession Data Fields)
1.7(C) | 20 Business Days after the end of each Quarter following the last Phased Delivery Date (each a “Subsequent Delivery Date”). |
Division or consolidation of assets or exposures
1.11A | Where assets or exposures that comprise a Covered Asset are, on or prior to the Trigger Date in respect of the relevant Covered Asset, divided or consolidated, the Participant shall complete the Post-Accession Data Fields in respect of such assets or exposures (as they are divided or consolidated) in a manner consistent with Annex H. |
5
Schedule 2
(New rules to be added to the Data Field Rules for the Quarterly Statement Data Fields)
Part A
(New rule to be added to Part 1 (General Rules))
Division or consolidation of assets or exposures
1.10A | Where assets or exposures that comprise a Covered Asset are, on or prior to the Trigger Date in respect of the relevant Covered Asset, divided or consolidated, the Participant shall complete the Quarterly Statement Data Fields in respect of such assets or exposures (as they are divided or consolidated) in a manner consistent with Annex 4. |
Part B
(New rules to be added to Part 2 (Trigger))
5.2 | Subject to rule 5.5, if in relation to the Covered Asset the Trigger Date (or the date to be reported in accordance with rule 5.3) occurred prior to 1 January 2009 and the Participant cannot readily determine the actual Trigger Date, this field must be completed as 31 December 2008. |
5.3 | Solely for the purpose of completing this field in relation to a Covered Asset allocated either to the “Consumer Finance” or the “Residential Mortgage” Covered Asset Class and in respect of which a Failure to Pay has occurred: |
(A) | where the Days Past Due at the end of any calendar month first equals (and has not at a previous month-end exceeded) the relevant threshold, this field shall be completed with the date of that month-end; |
(B) | where the Days Past Due at the end of any calendar month first exceeds the relevant threshold and the excess is equal to or less than the number of days in that month, the date to be included in this field shall be calculated by counting from the month-end back a number of days equal to the excess. By way of example (which is illustrative only) if, in respect of a Covered Asset allocated to the “Consumer Finance” Covered Asset Class, the Days Past Due as at the end of November is 190 days, the Participant shall calculate the Trigger Date to be reported by counting back 10 days from the last day of the month, i.e. 20 November; and |
(C) | where the Days Past Due at the end of any calendar month first exceeds the relevant threshold and the excess is greater than the number of the days in that month, this field must be completed with the first day of that month. By way of example (which is illustrative only) if, in respect of a Covered Asset allocated to the “Residential Mortgage” Covered Asset Class, the Days Past Due as at the end of November is 400 days, the excess (being 35 days) is greater than the number of days in November and the field would be completed as 1 November. |
5.4 In rule 5.3 “relevant threshold” means:
6
(A) | in respect of Covered Assets allocated to the “Consumer Finance” Covered Asset Class, 180 Days Past Due; and |
(B) | in respect of Covered Assets allocated to the “Residential Mortgage” Covered Asset Class, 365 Days Past Due. |
5.5 | For the purpose of completing this field with respect to a Covered Asset in relation to which the Participant completes Quarterly Statement Data Fields set out in Part 6 (Realisation Expense) in respect of any Realisation Expense that falls within Condition 7.21(E), this field must be completed with the actual Trigger Date of that Covered Asset (or the date calculated in accordance with rule 5.3). |
6.2 | Subject to rule 6.4, if in relation to the Covered Asset the Initial Event Date (or the date to be reported in accordance with rule 6.3) occurred prior to 1 January 2009 and the Participant cannot readily determine the actual Initial Event Date, this field must be completed as 31 December 2008. |
6.3 | Solely for the purpose of completing this field in relation to a Covered Asset allocated to the “Consumer Finance” Covered Asset Class which includes or comprises an overdraft: |
(A) | if it is possible, by reference to the systems and records of the relevant Covered Entity, to determine that a formal demand for repayment of an overdraft was issued, then for the purpose of determining the Initial Failure to Pay Date (if any) in respect of the relevant Covered Asset, the overdraft will be treated as due: |
(i) | in the case of Covered Assets managed by the UK Retail or Ulster Divisions of the Participant’s Group, eight days after the date on which the demand for repayment of the overdraft was issued by (or on behalf of) the relevant Covered Entity; or |
(ii) | in the case of Covered Assets managed by any other division of the Participant’s Group, on the date on which the demand for repayment of the overdraft was issued by (or on behalf of) the relevant Covered Entity; or |
(B) | if it is not possible, by reference to the systems and records of the relevant Covered Entity, to determine whether a formal demand for repayment of an overdraft was issued, then for the purpose of completing this field: |
(i) | it shall be assumed that there is no Potential Failure to Pay in respect of the overdraft; and |
(ii) | where the foregoing assumption results in there being no Potential Failure to Pay with respect to the Covered Asset which is continuing at the Trigger Date, this field must be completed with the same date as the date included in the “Trigger Date” field in respect of the Covered Asset in accordance with rule 5. |
7
6.4 | For the purpose of completing this field with respect to a Covered Asset in relation to which the Participant is required to complete Quarterly Statement Data Fields set out in Part 5 (Recovery and Realisation) in respect of any Cash Realisation that falls within Condition 7.2(iv) or Condition 7.2(v), this field must be completed with the actual Initial Event Date (which shall include any date determined by the application of rule 6.3) of that Covered Asset. |
Part C
(New rules to be added to Part 4 (Loss))
14.1 | Where the relevant Loss arises under Condition 6.1 (which deals with a Loss arising on a Trigger), this field must be completed with: |
(A) | if the Initial Event Date of the Covered Asset is prior to 1 January 2009, the amount to be specified by the Participant in the Initial Data as the “Covered Amount” of the Covered Asset; |
(B) | if the Initial Event Date of the Covered Asset is on or after 1 January 2009 and the Participant can readily determine the Covered Amount as at the Initial Event Date, the Covered Amount as at the Initial Event Date; or |
(C) | if: (i) the Initial Event Date of the Covered Asset is on or after 1 January 2009 and on or prior to the Cover Termination Date of the Covered Asset; and (ii) the Participant cannot readily determine the Covered Amount as at the Initial Event Date, the Covered Amount as at the last day of the calendar month ending on or immediately after the Initial Event Date applicable to such Covered Asset, |
stated in the Covered Amount Currency, in each case in respect of the relevant Covered Asset. For the purpose of reporting the Covered Amount in accordance with rule 14.1(C), the Participant may calculate such Covered Amount: (i) as if Condition 6.5(B) were amended to require calculation of the Covered Amount only on month-end dates, so that the Covered Amount for a relevant month-end falling after 31 December 2008 but on or prior to the Initial Event Date would be determined as the lesser of the Covered Amount Cap on that month-end date and the Covered Amount for the preceding month-end date; (ii) as if the Covered Amount Cap for a month-end date were calculated by reference to the Actual Exposure on such month-end date, rather than the Actual Exposure on the day preceding such month-end date; and (iii) as if Condition 6.5(C) were replaced by a requirement, in a case where the Initial Event Date falls on a date other than a month-end date, to determine the Covered Amount on the final day of the month ending immediately after the Initial Event Date as the lowest of (x) the Covered Amount on the preceding month-end date, (y) the Actual Exposure on the final day of the month immediately after the Initial Event Date, and (z) the Original Maximum Exposure on the day immediately preceding the Initial Event Date.
14.4 | References in this rule 14 to the Initial Event Date are to the Initial Event Date as reported in accordance with rule 6. |
8
15.1 | Where the relevant Loss arises under Condition 6.1 (which deals with a Loss arising on a Trigger), this field must be completed by conversion of the amount reported in the “Covered Amount at Initial Event Date in Covered Amount Currency” Quarterly Statement Data Field in accordance with rule 14 in respect of the relevant Covered Asset to sterling. |
15.2 | For the purpose of completing this field, the Exchange Date shall be the Trigger Date reported in accordance with rule 5 in respect of the relevant Covered Asset. |
15.3 | Where the “Covered Amount at Initial Event Date in Covered Amount Currency” Quarterly Statement Data Field is completed with “N/A” in accordance with rule 14, this field must also be completed with “N/A”. |
16.1 | Where the relevant Loss arises under Condition 6.1 (which deals with a Loss arising on a Trigger), this field must be completed with: |
(A) | if the Trigger Date of the Covered Asset is prior to 1 January 2009, the Outstanding Amount of the Covered Asset on 31 December 2008; |
(B) | if the Trigger Date of the Covered Asset is on or after 1 January 2009 and the Participant can readily determine the Outstanding Amount as at the Trigger Date, the Outstanding Amount as at the Trigger Date; or |
(C) | if the Trigger Date of the Covered Asset is on or after 1 January 2009 and the Participant cannot readily determine the Outstanding Amount as at the Trigger Date, the Outstanding Amount as at the end of the calendar month ending on or immediately prior to the Trigger Date applicable to such Covered Asset, |
stated in the actual underlying currency, in each case in respect of the relevant Covered Asset.
16.5 | References in this rule 16 to the Trigger Date are to the Trigger Date as reported in accordance with rule 5. |
17.1 | Where the relevant Loss arises under Condition 6.1 (which deals with a Loss arising on a Trigger), this field must be completed with: |
(A) | if the Trigger Date of the Covered Asset is prior to 1 January 2009, the Outstanding Amount of the Covered Asset on 31 December 2008; |
(B) | if the Trigger Date of the Covered Asset is on or after 1 January 2009 and the Participant can readily determine the Outstanding Amount as at the Trigger Date, the Outstanding Amount as at the Trigger Date; or |
(C) | if the Trigger Date of the Covered Asset is on or after 1 January 2009 and the Participant cannot readily determine the Outstanding Amount as at the Trigger Date, |
9
the Outstanding Amount as at the end of the calendar month ending on or immediately prior to the Trigger Date applicable to such Covered Asset,
stated in the Covered Amount Currency, in each case in respect of the relevant Covered Asset.
17.5 | References in this rule 17 to the Trigger Date are to the Trigger Date as reported in accordance with rule 5. |
18.1 | Where the relevant Loss arises under Condition 6.1 (which deals with a Loss arising on a Trigger), this field must be completed with: |
(A) | if the Trigger Date of the Covered Asset is prior to 1 January 2009, the “Outstanding Amount of the Covered Asset on 31 December 2008; |
(B) | if the Trigger Date of the Covered Asset is on or after 1 January 2009 and the Participant can readily determine the Outstanding Amount as at the Trigger Date, the Outstanding Amount as at the Trigger Date; or |
(C) | if the Trigger Date of the Covered Asset is on or after 1 January 2009 and the Participant cannot readily determine the Outstanding Amount as at the Trigger Date, the Outstanding Amount as at the end of the calendar month ending on or immediately prior to the Trigger Date applicable to such Covered Asset, |
in each case in respect of the relevant Covered Asset, stated in sterling.

48A.1 | The Participant shall not be required to include as part of any Quarterly Statement Data in respect of any Quarter ending on or before 31 December 2010 any information relating to Recoveries or Realisations (whether or not any such Realisations are Cash Realisations) with respect to, resulting from or arising out of any Related Junior Asset in respect of any Triggered Asset. |
10
48A.2 | The Participant shall not be required to include as part of any Quarterly Statement Data in respect of any Quarter ending after 1 January 2011 any information relating to Recoveries or Realisations (whether or not any such Realisations are Cash Realisations) with respect to, resulting from or arising out of any Related Junior Asset in respect of a Triggered Asset which is allocated either to the “Consumer Finance” or the “Residential Mortgage” Covered Asset Class. |
48A.3 | The Participant shall be required to include in any Quarterly Statement Data in respect of any Quarter ending after 1 January 2011, information relating to Recoveries or Realisations (whether or not any such Realisations are Cash Realisations) with respect to, resulting from or arising out of any Related Junior Asset in respect of a Triggered Asset which is allocated to a Covered Asset Class other than the “Consumer Finance” and the “Residential Mortgage” Covered Asset Classes only if: |
(A) | there has been, since 1 January 2011, a full or partial write-off in respect of such Triggered Asset; |
(B) | the aggregate amount of all write-offs that are determined by the Participant’s Group as at the time of the determination of the write-off referred to in sub-paragraph (A) above in respect of: |

exceeds £50,000,000 (fifty million pounds); and
(C) | the Recoveries or Realisations were made, realised, received, recovered or derived on or prior to the date on which the write-off referred to in sub-paragraph (A) above was recorded in the accounts of the relevant Covered Entity, |

48A.4 | For the purpose of applying the threshold in rule 48A.2 (B) above, where the amount of a write-off in respect of a Triggered Asset or an asset or exposure connected to a Triggered Asset is denominated in any Other Currency, such amount shall be converted into sterling using a market rate as reasonably determined by the Participant based on its ordinary course business and banking policies, practices and procedures consistently applied. |
48A.5 For the purpose of this rule 48A:
(A) | an asset or exposure shall be deemed to be “connected” to a Triggered Asset if it is an asset or exposure of any person falling within paragraph (A) or (C) of the definition of Applicable Entity in respect of which the credit limit, credit line or trading line (or equivalent) in respect of a Counterparty is aggregated with the credit limit, credit line or |
11
trading line (or equivalent) of a Counterparty in respect of such Triggered Asset pursuant to the Credit Aggregation Policy, or would be so aggregated if the Credit Aggregation Policy were to be consistently applied between Protected Assets and assets and exposures that do not comprise Protected Assets, and an asset or exposure of any person falling within paragraph (A) or (C) of the definition of Applicable Entity in respect of which any Counterparty (or any Group Member of a Counterparty) is also a Counterparty (including an Obligor) in respect of such Triggered Asset shall be deemed to be connected to such Triggered Asset; and

(B) | the basis on which such practices and processes treat assets and exposures which form part of Covered Assets does not differ from the basis on which such practices and processes treat equivalent assets and exposures which do not form part of Covered Assets. |
12
Schedule 3
Part A
(New definitions to be inserted in clause 1.1(A) of the Accession Agreement)
“Reporting Issues Side Letter” means the letter headed “Reporting issues relating to Post-Accession Data, Quarterly Statements and Quarterly Statement Data” from the Commissioners of HM Treasury (acting through the Asset Protection Agency) to the Participant and the Initial Parent and dated on or around 31 January 2011;
“write-off” means, in respect of a Triggered Asset (or in respect of any asset or exposure which is connected to a Triggered Asset), a write-off in the accounts of the relevant Covered Entity in accordance with its ordinary business practices from time to time, consistently applied, provided that the basis on which that Covered Entity and the Participant's Group treat assets and exposures which form part of Covered Assets does not differ from the basis on which that Covered Entity and the Participant's Group treat equivalent assets and exposures of that Covered Entity and the Participant's Group which do not form part of Covered Assets.
Part B
(New Clauses 5.24 and 5.25 of the Accession Agreement)
Covered Assets that divide or are consolidated
5.24 | For the avoidance of doubt, the requirements in rule 1.11A of Part 2 of the Data Field Rules, rule 1.10A of Part 3 of the Data Field Rules and Clause 18A.2 that, where assets or exposures that comprise a Covered Asset are divided or consolidated, the Participant shall complete the Quarterly Statement Data Fields and the Post-Accession Data Fields, and prepare Quarterly Statements, in respect of such assets or exposures (as they are divided or consolidated) in a manner consistent with Annex H to Part 2 of the Data Field Rules or Annex 4 to Part 3 of the Data Field Rules (as the case may be) shall be without prejudice to the provisions of any Scheme Document (including, without limitation, Condition 4.4). |
5.25 | If the Treasury or the Participant is of the opinion that the application of Annex H to Part 2 of the Data Field Rules and / or Annex 4 to Part 3 of the Data Field Rules does not produce the intended effect in respect of the completion of any Quarterly Statement Data Field and / or any Post-Accession Data Field and / or the preparation of Quarterly Statements (whether or not in respect of a particular asset or exposure), then the Treasury and the Participant shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, participate in good faith discussions and seek to agree the manner in which the Quarterly Statement Data Fields and / or the Post-Accession Data Fields should be completed, and /or Quarterly Statements should be prepared. |
13
Part C
(New Clause 18.2(B) of the Accession Agreement)
(B) | contains a confirmation from the Scheme Head (or another member of the Scheme Executive Team acceptable to the Treasury) that, to the best of his or her knowledge and belief, having made all due and reasonable enquiries, such QS data deficiencies result in the Quarterly Statement Data (and/or the Information contained in the relevant Quarterly Statement derived from such Quarterly Statement Data) containing amounts in respect of Losses and Recoveries which are such that, in relation to each Covered Asset individually or, if the Treasury in its sole discretion determines, all Covered Assets collectively to which in either case the QS data deficiencies relate: |
(i) | the aggregate amount of Losses in respect of such Covered Asset or Covered Assets; minus |
(ii) | the aggregate amount of Recoveries in respect of such Covered Asset or Covered Assets, |
is no more than would have been the case if there were no such QS data deficiencies.
Part D
(New Clause 18A of the Accession Agreement)
18A. Reporting Issues Side Letter
18A.1 It is acknowledged that:
(A) | in so far as the Reporting Issues Side Letter sets out certain agreed modifications to the reporting obligations of the Participant in respect of Post-Accession Data, Quarterly Statements and Quarterly Statement Data, such modifications are not intended to, and shall not, in any way amend the financial extent of the protection provided to the Participant under the Scheme (in particular, but without limitation, with respect to the Losses and Recoveries attributable to any Covered Asset); |
(B) | the operation of Condition 8 on the basis of the Quarterly Statement Data completed, and Quarterly Statements prepared, in accordance with the Participant’s reporting obligations as modified by the Reporting Issues Side Letter may produce a different outcome compared with the operation of Condition 8 on the basis of Quarterly Statement Data completed, and Quarterly Statements prepared, in accordance with the Participant’s reporting obligations prior to the application of such modifications; and notwithstanding the foregoing it is agreed that Condition 8 shall be applied on the basis of the Quarterly Statement Data completed, and the Quarterly Statements prepared, in accordance with the Scheme Documents (as amended or modified by the Reporting Issues Side Letter) including, for the avoidance of doubt, as the Quarterly Statement Data and / or Quarterly Statements are required to be prepared and / or re-stated pursuant to the application of Clause 18A.4; and |
14
(C) | the terms of the Reporting Issues Side Letter are not intended to, and shall not, in any way affect the Treasury’s rights to request Information pursuant to any Scheme Document or otherwise (including, without limitation, pursuant to Condition 15). |
18A.2 | The modifications made to the Participant’s reporting obligations by the deletion of rules in, and / or the insertion of rules into, Part 3 (Rules for Quarterly Statement Data Fields) of the Data Field Rules pursuant to the Reporting Issues Side Letter shall also apply, mutatis mutandis and notwithstanding Condition 16, to the preparation of each Quarterly Statement in so far as it is based on the Quarterly Statement Data provided by the application of the Quarterly Statement Data Field Rules as modified pursuant to the Reporting Issues Side Letter. |
18A.3 | It is acknowledged and agreed that the reporting of any Information in any Quarterly Statement Data Field or Quarterly Statement in accordance with the modifications made to the Participant’s reporting obligations by the deletion of rules in, and / or the insertion of rules into, Part 3 (Rules for Quarterly Statement Data Fields) of the Data Field Rules pursuant to the Reporting Issues Side Letter shall not, save where the Treasury disapplies any or all of such modifications or requires the Participant to re-state and / or provide any information or data (in each case pursuant to Clause 18A.4), be treated as giving rise to any breach of Condition 16 or as constituting any QS data deficiency or any error, inaccuracy or data deficiency for the purposes of any of Conditions 16, 31, 32, 33 or 34. |
18A.4 | Notwithstanding Clause 18A.1 and any of the other provisions of the Reporting Issues Side Letter, the Treasury may by giving reasonable written notice to the Participant: |
(A) | disapply any or all of the modifications to the Participant’s reporting obligations which are specified in, or effected by, the Reporting Issues Side Letter; and / or |
(B) | require the Participant: |
(i) | to re-state (and provide to the Treasury) any or all of the information or data provided pursuant to the Scheme Documents in accordance with the modifications to the Participant’s reporting obligations which are specified in, or effected by, the Reporting Issues Side Letter such that the information or data is accurately completed in accordance with the terms and requirements of the Scheme Documents without application of any or all of the modifications specified in the Reporting Issues Side Letter; and / or |
(ii) | to provide to the Treasury any or all of the information or data which, by virtue of the modifications to the Participant’s reporting obligations specified in, or effected by, the Reporting Issues Side Letter, the Participant has not provided to the Treasury. |
18A.5 | If under Clause 18A.4 the Treasury requires: (A) the disapplication of all of the modifications which are specified in, or effected by, the Reporting Issues Side Letter; (B) the restatement of all information or data which has been provided in accordance with the modifications specified in, or effected by, the Reporting Issues Side Letter; or (C) the provision of all the information or data which has not been provided by the Participant by virtue of the modifications specified |
15
in, or effected by, the Reporting Issues Side Letter, the Treasury shall give not less than 12 months’ written notice to the Participant.
18A.6 | Where the Treasury requires the Participant to re-state any information or data pursuant to Clause 18A.4 and, as a result, any amount set out in a Quarterly Statement requires adjustment (including as a result of adjustments to the underlying Quarterly Statement Data), Condition 8.7 (and the other provisions in Condition 8 (other than Condition 8.11)) shall apply with respect to the adjustment of such amount. |

Appendix 1
(Paper titled “Post-Accession Data Reporting: Division or
Consolidation of Assets or Exposures”)
Appendix 1 Post Accession Reporting: Division or Consolidation of Assets or Exposures 1 |
Asset Continuity in Post Accession Data: Introduction Background: Over time, the structure of a Covered Asset may change. This may take many forms from a simple debt consolidation (where many Covered Assets are replaced by one new asset / component); to the more complex arrangements (for example where many Covered Assets are replaced by many new components. ) In each case RBSG must calculate the covered amount against the original APS asset(s) and allocate this cover across the resulting restructured asset(s) . For transparency purposes in PAD reporting we report against both the APS asset (using APS Covered Asset ID(ACAID)) and the restructured asset(s) (using Bank Covered Asset ID(BCAID)) . The number of rows of data post refinancing will equal the number of old loans multiplied by the number of new loans. Each row will be identified by the unique ACAID -BCAID combination At a high level there are three restructuring scenarios: [] Debt split (One to Many) -- This occurs where a single asset is refinanced into more than one assets. For example a single loan may be agreed for general property development purposes but then split into a number of individual loans for each of the properties (to facilitate monitoring, draw downs and repayments following sales). [] Debt consolidation (Many to One) -- This occurs where more than one asset is refinanced into a single asset. For example five loans may be consolidated onto a single loan to for the administrative convenience of the customer. [] Complex debt rearrangements (Many to Many) -- This occurs where more than one asset is refinanced into across several assets but not in a one-to-one relationship. For example two loans may be converted into three Purpose of this paper: The purpose of this paper is to outline the proposed cover re-allocation across refinanced assets for each of the above scenarios in relation to PAD Reporting and seek your approval for the same. Assumptions: 1. As this paper focuses on Post Accession Data reporting requirements, it is assumed in each case that Covered Assets remain covered under the Scheme and the Asset Continuity Requirements have not been breached. 2. Note that the reporting of Consumer Finance assets in Post Accession Data should not be affected by such changes to the structure of Covered Assets. This is because these assets are already reported at customer level, which would be unaffected by these changes. 3. For simplicity, the assets considered in these examples are amortising assets unless stated otherwise 4. This paper only deals with PAD reporting requirements; QS requirements are discussed in a separate paper 2 |
Allocation and reporting of covered amount for refinanced assets Principles: 1.Covere Covere d Amount calculation for APS assetsassets follows the rules exactly: [] Covered Amount cap is always applied based on Original OME and current Actual Exposure 2.Covered Amount apportionment to refinanced facilities is based on Actual Exposure of new facilities 3.Outstanding Amount and Actual Exposure are apportioned based on initial data covered amount Steps to allocate Covered Amount to refinanced assets: Step 1: Identify new facilities Step 2: Calculate the total Actual Exposure of new facilities Step 3: Calculate total Covered Amount of APS Assets: CAAPS Asset = min {OME, AE, CAmin since 31/12/08} Step 4: Covered Amount for restructured asset: CARes. Asset = AE/Total AE * Total CA Step 5: Actual Exposure for restructured asset: AERes. Asset = Init. CA/Total Initial CA * Total AE Reporting: For transparency purposes in PAD reporting we report against both the APS asset (using APS Covered Asset ID(ACAID)) and the restructured asset(s) (using Bank Covered Asset ID(BCAID)) [] A separate row of data is reported for each replacement loan * Each row will quote the same APS Covered Asset ID but different Bank Covered Asset ID (so the combination of APS and Bank Covered Asset ID will be unique* Certain data will be consistent across each row of data -- notably Triggered Asset Flag (because an asset cannot partially trigger), Imputed Maturity Flag and Currency [] The number of rows of data post refinancing will equal the number of old loans multiplied by the number of new loans Definitions (See Appendix for legal definitions) : Outstanding Amount (OA) -- Drawn balance as at the month-end reporting date Actual Exposure (AE) -- Sum of Drawn and Undrawn balances as at the month-end reporting date Covered Amount (CA) -- Covered Amount at the month-end reporting date Original Maximum Exposure (OME) -- The maximum amount of exposure with respect to the Covered Asset, amortised over time, in accordance with its terms as at 31st December 2008. Must be captured as at the day immediately before the relevant date. Cover Termination Date (CTD) -- The date on which the cover for an APS asset terminates 3 |

Asset Continuity: Complex Debt Rearrangement in Post Accession Reporting (Many to Many) Example -- More Complex Refinancing: Sometimes the original APS assets will not be linked to all the refinanced loans. E.g. if a customer had a loan and an overdraft facility then this may get refinanced such that a part of the overdraft is consolidated with the loan, resulting in a new loan and a new reduced overdraft facility. We illustrate this in the example below, where we consider two assets A and B such that Asset A is refinanced into two new facilities, while Asset B is refinanced to only one of these new facilities. Proposal: To allocate cover to new facilities we only apportion cover from the APS assets that feed into that new facility. So that in the example below, post-refinancing APS asset B's cover will be distributed only across new facility 2 and NOT to the new facility 1.

Appendix -- Why we use Initial Covered Amount (CA) data to apportion Actual Exposure (AE) Outlined below are the two options for apportioning Actual Exposure post-restructuring and the merits of each of these approaches. Based on the considerations provided below, RBS had decided to use Option A, i.e. use initial covered amount data for apportioning AE, primarily made for operational reasons in terms of doability. Description Accuracy Materiality Traceability / Auditability Data Sourcing Technical Implementation Option A: Use initial covered amount as at 31(st) Dec 2008 (Currently being used) Use the Initial CA of APS Assets as at 31(st) Dec'08 to apportion AE across refinanced facilities This approach is less accurate if the facilities are amortizing at different rates, however, the impact of using this approach is to understate the AE of gradually amortising facilities and is therefore in APA's favour []Loss of cover for RBS for a small number of cases where ALL of the following conditions are met: --There is debt consolidation; and --The assets are amortizing at different rates; and --The CA is capped by AE (i.e. AE of the restructured asset(s) is less than OME and prior period CA) []In all other scenarios the CA calculated under both Option A and B will be the same Easy to trace and audit APS assets through their life as initial covered amount for all assets as at 31(st) Dec'08 is fixed Easy to source data as initial covered amount for all assets as at 31(st) Dec'08 is fixed This option is easier to implement technically as this always only uses the static data e.g. Initial CA Option B: Use covered amount prior to refinancing Use the CA of APS Assets just prior to refinancing to apportion AE across refinanced facilities This approach is more accurate to apportion AE if the facilities are amortizing at different rates No loss in cover to RBS and no impact on APA Difficult to audit covered amount calculations as it needs the data prior to refinancing; the calculation gets more complex is there is a restructure of a restructure It is difficult to source the CA data prior to refinancing -- Intra-month CA data is not available (refer to QS practice statement) -- Month-end CA only available for Sep'09, Dec'09, Mar'10 and then monthly from May'10 onwards It is difficult to implement this technically as the solution needs to be able to store and retrieve restructuring data e.g. date of restructure, covered amount etc. The solution becomes more complicated if the restructured asset gets further restructured Note: Option A is currently in practice and to now change the approach to Option B would necessitate a restatement of all previously reported PAD data for restructuring scenarios so that the assets are consistently traceable through their life. This will involve a disproportionately huge amount of time and effort and we do not recommend doing this 14 |

Appendix 2 Quarterly Statement Data Reporting: Division or Consolidation of Assets or Exposures |
Asset Continuity: Introduction Over time, the structure of a Covered Asset may change. This may take many forms from a simple debt consolidation (where many Covered Assets are replaced by one new asset / component); to the more complex arrangements (for example where many Covered Assets are replaced by many new components. ) Also under the Consumer Finance approach, where new sub-assets have been opened post accession. In each case RBSG must consider whether the Asset(s) are still covered under the Scheme and satisfy the Asset Continuity Requirements. As this paper focuses on Quarterly Statement reporting requirements, it is assumed in each case that Covered Assets remain covered under the Scheme and the Asset Continuity Requirements have not been breached. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to outline the proposed reporting treatment that would apply in each of the asset continuity scenarios in relation to the Quarterly Statement: Consumer Finance [] Consumer Finance Customer View -- see slides 10-12 Non Consumer Finance [] Debt split (One to Many) -- see slide 3 [] Debt consolidation (Many to One) -- see slide 4 [] Complex debt rearrangements (Many to Many) -- see slide 5 and 6 There are also other factors that may impact any of the above non consumer finance scenarios. These have been illustrated separately and are: [] Variable Cover Termination Dates -- see slide 7 [] Combining Covered and Non Covered Assets -- see slide 8 Non Consumer Finance Examples: To illustrate the proposed approach, examples have been provided for each scenario (see above) . In order to simplify the examples and clearly demonstrate the principles to be applied, the following assumptions have been made: * Assets are not Rollover Assets and do not contain an overdraft. * The Original Maximum Exposure (OME) is assumed to be the equal to the value of the Initial Data Covered Amount for each Asset. In reality the OME is calculated in accordance with the expected payment profile of the Covered Asset per the Asset's terms in place at 31/12/08. The notes as outlined in Appendix A illustrate the further details and rules that need to be considered in each case 2 Legend for all examples: ===================================================================================================== Acronym Description ------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OA Outstanding Amount ------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CA Covered Amount ------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R Recoveries (note these generally occur post-Trigger ------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CL Covered Liabilities (note CL arises post-Trigger ------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AE Actual Exposure (component of CA calculation taken day prior to Initial Event Date) ------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OME Original Maximum Exposure (component of CA calculation taken day prior to Initial Event Date) |
Asset Continuity: Debt Split (One to Many) Requirement: For the purposes of the Quarterly Statement, regardless of changes to an asset's components, the Triggered Asset is to be reported in line with the asset as specified in the Initial Data. Treatment: Where a single asset is refinanced into more than one account, the approach is to sum the relevant values for each of the relevant accounts (BCAID's) and report as a single APS Covered Asset ID (ACAID) . Example: Single ACAID and single corresponding BCAID was reported in the Initial Data. Asset subsequently refinanced into 3 separate loans (3 new BCAID's) . Initial Data: Data at Trigger Date: Quarterly Statement Reporting: OA = [pound]300 BCAID : 2 AE = [pound]400 R = [pound]100 CL = [pound]50 OA = [pound]500 (300 + 100 + 100) OA = [pound]100 BCAID : 3 CA = [pound]1,000 -- see table AE = [pound]300 ACAID : A ACAID : A R = [pound]300 (100 + 100 + 100) R = [pound]100 Debt Split BCAID : 1 CL = [pound]0 CL = [pound]100 (50 + 0 + 50) Covered Amt = [pound] 1,200 OA = [pound]100 BCAID : 4 AE = [pound]300 R = [pound]100 CL = [pound]50 OA = [pound]500 TOTAL BCAID's AE = [pound]1,000 R = [pound]300 CL = [pound]100 Calculation of Reported Covered Amount ACAID AE OME CA (lower of AE and OME) A [pound]1,000 [pound]1,200 [pound]1,000 (400 + 300 + 300) For illustrative purposes, the OME in the above example is assumed to be the same as the Initial Data Covered Amount. See notes 4 and 5 in Appendix A for rules pertaining to Covered Amount calculation. 3 |
Asset Continuity: Debt Consolidation (Many to One) Debt consolidation may occur for example where there is a direct refinancing or where an additional drawing is made and there is an obligation to use the proceeds to pay out the original Assets. Requirement: Regardless of changes to an asset's components, the Triggered Asset is to be reported in line with the asset as specified in the Initial Data. This means that where Covered Assets have been consolidated into a single asset, the assets are to be reported in the Quarterly Statement as if the consolidation had not occurred. Treatment: Strict interpretation of the Rules would indicate that the consolidated asset could be seen as a continuation of all three original Covered Assets, and therefore the values for the consolidated asset could be applied individually across the original Covered Assets. (eg Outstanding Amount of 500 could be applied to each asset separately. Therefore total claim would be 1500, subject to covered amount cap.) However, given the loss in reality would only arise in relation to the consolidated asset, the proposed treatment is to apportion this asset's values across each of the 'original' individual Covered Assets. This will be done on the basis of the percentage split of the Initial Data Covered Amount for each of the individual Covered Assets. This treatment will ensure consistency of approach between PAD and QS, and between the various asset continuity scenarios. Initial Data: Data at Trigger Date: ACAID : A BCAID 1 Covered Amt = 300 (30% of total) 30% OA = [pound]500 Debts consolidated AE = [pound]700 BCAID : 4 30% ACAID : B R = [pound]100 BCAID 2 CL = [pound]200 40% Covered Amt = 300 (30% of total) ACAID : C BCAID 3 Calculation of Reported Covered Amount Covered Amt = 400 ACAID AE OME CA (lower of AE (40% of total) and OME) A [pound]210 (700 * 30%) [pound]300 [pound]210 B [pound]210 (700 * 30%) [pound]300 [pound]210 C [pound]280 (700 * 40%) [pound]400 [pound]280 TOTAL ASSETS Covered Amt = [pound]1,000 TOTAL ASSETS [pound]700 [pound]1,000 [pound]700 Quarterly Statement Reporting: OA = [pound]150 (500 * 30%) ----------------------------- ACAID : A CA = [pound]210 -- see table ----------------------------- R = [pound]30 (100 * 30%) (30% of total BCAID values) ----------------------------- CL = [pound]60 (200 * 40%) ============================= OA = [pound]150 (500 * 30%) ----------------------------- ACAID : B CA = [pound]210 -- see table ----------------------------- R = [pound]30 (100 * 30%) (30% of total BCAID values) ----------------------------- CL = [pound]60 (200 * 30%) ============================= OA = [pound]200 (500 * 40%) ----------------------------- ACAID : C CA = [pound]280 -- see table ----------------------------- R = [pound]40 (100 * 40%) (40% of total BCAID values) ----------------------------- CL = [pound]80 (200 * 40%) ============================= OA = [pound]500 ----------------------------- CA = [pound]700 ----------------------------- TOTAL ASSETS R = [pound]100 ----------------------------- CL = [pound]200 --------------------------- ----------------------------- For illustrative purposes, the OME in the above example is assumed to be the same as the Initial Data Covered Amount. See notes 4 and 5 in Appendix A for rules pertaining to Covered Amount calculation. 4 |
Asset Continuity: Complex Debt Rearrangement (Many to Many) Requirement: For the purposes of the Quarterly Statement, regardless of changes to an asset's components, the Triggered Asset is to be reported in line with the asset as specified in the Initial Data. Treatment: In line with the one to many approach, the restructured assets values will be apportioned to each of the 'original' Covered Assets. The values will be apportioned on the basis of the percentage split of the Initial Data Covered Amount for each of the individual Covered Assets. This treatment will ensure consistency of approach between Post Accession Data and QS; and also between the various asset continuity scenarios. Example 1: Two loans converted into three. Values for each individual BCAID are ascertained and added to provide overall BCAID total for each value. Each value is then apportioned to each ACAID on the basis of the Covered Amount as reported for each ACAID in the Initial Data. In this example further monies have been advanced upon refinancing, and the Outstanding Amount and Actual Exposure are now greater than the Initial Data values.

Asset Continuity: Variable Cover Termination Dates (CTD's) In each Asset Continuity scenario, it is likely that the Cover Termination Dates of the original Covered Assets will be different. The values of the replacement asset are apportioned in line with existing proposals, however the validity of reporting in respect of the Cover Termination Date is examined for each Asset. Where the Initial Event Date as determined by the replacement asset is after the Cover Termination Date of any of the original Covered Assets, that Asset cannot reported as Triggered. Similarly, Recoveries and Covered Liabilities apportioned to that Asset are not reported. Though this concept is illustrated below using the many to one scenario below, it would equally apply across all Asset Continuity scenarios (one to many, many to one, many to many). Initial Data: ACAID : A BCAID 1 Covered Amt = 300 (30% of total) CTD = 15/02/2010 ACAID : B BCAID 2 Covered Amt = 300 (30% of total) CTD = 31/12/2015 ACAID : C BCAID 3 Covered Amt = 400 (40% of total) CTD = 15/03/2011 TOTAL ASSETS Covered Amt = [pound]1,000 Debts consolidated Data at Trigger Date: OA = [pound]500 BCAID : 4 AE = [pound]700 Initial Event Date = 10/06/2010 R = [pound]100 CL = [pound]200 30% 30% 40% Quarterly Statement Reporting: Not reported OA = [pound]150 (500 * 30%) ACAID : A CA = [pound]210 -- see table R = [pound]30 (100 * 30%) (30% of total BCAID values) CTD = 15/02/2010 CL = [pound]60 (200 * 30%) OA = [pound]150 (500 * 30%) ACAID : B CA = [pound]210 -- see table R = [pound]30 (100 * 30%) (30% of total BCAID values) CTD = 31/12/2015 CL = [pound]60 (200 * 30%) OA = [pound]200 (500 * 40%) ACAID : C CA = [pound]280 -- see table R = [pound]40 (100 * 40%) (40% of total BCAID values) CTD = CL = [pound]80 (200 * 40%) TOTAL ASSETS OA = [pound]500 (Total includes ACAID A, CA = [pound]700 though note ACAID A not reported) R = [pound]100 CL = [pound]200 Calculation of Reported Covered Amount ================ ====================================== ========================= ACAID AE OME CA (lower of AE and OME) ---------------- ------------------------ ------------- ------------------------- A (not reported) [pound]210 (700 * 30%) [pound]300 [pound]210 (not reported) ---------------- ------------------------ ------------- ------------------------- B [pound]210 (700 * 30%) [pound]300 [pound]210 ---------------- ------------------------ ------------- ------------------------- C [pound]280 (700 * 40%) [pound]400 [pound]280 ---------------- ------------------------ ------------- ------------------------- TOTAL [pound]700 [pound]1,000 [pound]700 Total includes ACAID A, but note ACAID A is not reported Only ACAID B and C are reported as Triggered. For each of these Assets the Initial Event Date is before the Cover Termination Date. Reported values for these Assets are as listed above. ACAID A is not reported as Triggered. The Initial Event Date of the replacement asset is after ACAID A's Cover Termination Date. ACAID A not reported as Triggered. Recoveries and Covered Liabilities are also not reported for ACAID A. For illustrative purposes, the OME in the above example is assumed to be the same as the Initial Data Covered Amount. See notes 4 and 5 in Appendix A for rules pertaining to Covered Amount calculation. 7 |
Asset Continuity: Combining Covered and Non Covered Assets When combining Covered and Non Covered Assets the approach to apportionment is slightly different as RBS is unable to claim against the Non-Covered Asset. To enable the calculation of the reportable values for the Covered Assets, the limit (as per Risk Management systems) immediately prior to refinancing must be obtained for all of the assets involved in the refinancing. This will be used to determine the proportion of the replacement asset that is covered under the Scheme. It is this covered portion that will be allocated across the original Covered Assets. The covered element will be allocated to the Covered Assets, proportionally based on the Initial Data Covered Amounts for those Assets. These rules would apply across every Asset Continuity scenario, not just the one to many scenario as illustrated below. Initial Data: ACAID : A BCAID : 1 Covered Amt = 600 (60% of total) ts ACAID : B BCAID : 2 Covered Amt = 400 Covered Asse (40% of total) TOTAL COVERED ASSETS Covered Amt = [pound]1,000 Asset : 3 Assets (non covered asset) Non Covered Data immediately prior to refinancing:* ACAID : A BCAID : 1 Limit* = 300 (25% of total) ACAID : B BCAID : 2 Limit* = 300 (25% of total) TOTAL COVERED ASSETS = [pound]600 (50% of total) Asset : 3 Limit* = 600 (50% of total) TOTAL ASSETS TO BE CONSOLIDATED = [pound]1,200 Data at Trigger Date: Total replacement asset OA = [pound]800 AE = [pound]1,000 50 % covered BCAID : 4 R = [pound]100 CL = [pound]100 Covered Portion OA = [pound]400 AE = [pound]500 R = [pound]50 CL = [pound]50 60 % 40 % QS Reporting: ACAID : A OA = [pound]240 (400 * 60%) CA = [pound]300 -- see table (60% of covered portion) R = [pound]30 (50 * 60%) CL = [pound]30 (50 * 60%) ACAID : B OA = [pound]160 (400 * 40%) CA = [pound]200 -- see table R = [pound]20 (50 * 40%) (40% of covered portion) CL = [pound]20 (50 * 40%) OA = [pound]400 TOTAL COVERED ASSETS CA = [pound]500 R = [pound]50 CL = [pound]50 50% of the values of BCAID 4 are attributable to Covered Assets.

This means the limit per the Risk Management Systems as at the date the monies were transferred. The limit in this case does not refer to the Actual Exposure required for the Covered Amount calculation (the Actual Exposure for QS must exclude interest, fees, charges etc unless capitalised on or before 31/12/08 or capitalised in respect of an overdraft. ) For illustrative purposes, the OME in the above example is assumed to be the same as the Initial Data Covered Amount.

Asset Continuity: Appendix A (Notes) The following notes to all previous examples unless otherwise stated: 1) Triggers (one to many, many to many examples): a) Failure to pay -- the first 'Trigger' for a part of the Covered Asset will be a Trigger for the whole Covered Asset (except in the case of Long Dated Assets or Limited Recourse Assets for which the additional Trigger tests must be applied to the Covered Asset as a whole b) Bankruptcy -- A 'Trigger' in relation to part of the Covered Asset would generally give rise to a Trigger as a whole. In relation to "charging off" of an asset in the Consumer Finance or Residential Mortgage Asset Classes however, 'charging off' of part of the Covered Asset would not give rise to a Trigger in respect of the Covered Asset as a whole. In practice, it may be unusual for one account in respect of such a Covered Asset to remain open when the others are closed. c) Restructuring A 'Trigger' in relation to part of the Covered Asset would generally give rise to a Trigger as a whole, except where the 'Trigger' arises from the Restructuring Event in condition 5.18F(release or discharge of all Security) . The fact that this is satisfied in relation to part of a Covered Asset does not entail a release or discharge of all Security in respect of the Covered Asset as a whole. 2) Triggers (many to one examples): It is assumed that a 'Trigger' of the BCAID would represent a Trigger of all the original Covered Assets (ACAIDs) . For example: - Failure to Pay under BCAID D (the replacement asset) would represent a Failure To Pay across all the original ACAID's. - Given that it is the counterparty which becomes Bankrupt, this would apply across all the original ACAID's 3) Variable Cover Termination Dates: The Cover Termination Date (CTD) for each of the original Covered Assets needs to be examined as illustrated in slide 7. Eligibility for Rollover would need to be considered for each of the original Covered Assets. The Cover Termination Date for assets that have been subject to a Rollover is deemed to be 31 December 2013 (see also note 5). 4) Covered Amount calculation: To calculate the Covered Amount, the Actual Exposure (AE) is sourced by reference to the relevant BCAID's, and apportioned to the Covered Assets as outlined in each of the relevant examples. The Original Maximum Exposure (OME) sourced by reference to the original Covered Asset(s) and is calculated in accordance with the expected payment profile per the Asset's terms in place at 31/12/08. The lower of the AE and OME reported as the Covered Amount in line with the Covered Amount requirement. If the Covered Asset was an Overdraft, the Covered Amount is calculated by reference to the Advised Amount and Imputed Maximum Exposure in line with the Scheme Rules. Further examples relating to Overdrafts will be developed upon finalisation of the Operational Accounts practice statement. Note also the Rollover requirement below. 5) Rollovers: Eligibility for Rollover will need to be considered for each of the original Covered Assets on an individual basis. Where the original Covered Asset has been subject to a Rollover, the Actual Exposure is to be apportioned in accordance with the methodology outlined in the relevant examples, and the Rules pertaining to calculation of Covered Amount for Rollovers is to be applied. 6) Additional lending : Where additional lending forms part of the refinancing, this will be included as part of the Outstanding Amount. Note that Loss is capped by the Covered Amount however Realisations would need to be reported on the full amount of the refinanced asset (ie including the additional lending). 7) Refinancing to an overdraft: Where the Covered Asset is refinanced into an overdraft, the approach outlined in the Operational Accounts practice statement is to be applied from that point. Note that treatment of Operational Accounts is still under discussion with the APA. 8) Realisations: In each example, the amounts pertaining to Realisations indicate the raw data as calculated at the Divisional level. It assumes correct allocation of Realisations has taken place (approach to be outlined in the Allocation of Recoveries practice statement). Any pro-rating necessary under S7.26C will be performed by the Scheme Ledger and correct pro- rated values reported to HMT. 9) Refinancings post Trigger: Realisations, Expenses and Covered Liabilities would need to be reported for any post-Trigger amendments in line with the post-Trigger structure in existence at applicable QS quarter end. 10) Limitations: As outlined in the PAD asset continuity paper, the solutions outlined in this document may result in loss of Cover in some cases. Please refer to 'Asset Continuity in Post Accession Data: Limitations' for more information. 9 |
Asset Continuity: Consumer Finance Overview: Consumer Finance is slightly different to other asset classes in that there may be many sub-assets that existed within the Covered Asset at Initial Data. The combination of these sub-assets may vary over time, as sub-assets are closed or new sub-assets are opened. This raises a question as to how these subcomponents should be treated and "rolled up" for reporting purposes. Proposed Treatment: Out of Scheme : Accounts / sub-assets that were deemed to be outside the Scheme at Initial Data will continue to be excluded for reporting purposes on the basis that they were not part of the Covered Asset as reported in Initial Data. This includes products that were out of scope (eg credit cards, savings accounts) or other sub-assets that were not included in the Covered Asset pool (eg overdraft deemed low risk at the time of Initial Data). New sub-assets at Trigger Date: Where new sub-assets have been opened since 31/12/08 but on or before Trigger Date, these sub-assets will be included for reporting purposes. This means that the Outstanding Amount is included in the loss claim (capped by 31/12/08 Covered Amount), and any Recoveries and Covered Liabilities arising will be reported. New sub-assets after Trigger Date: As no Loss was claimed for these sub-assets, Recoveries and Covered Liabilities will not be reported. The example overleaf illustrates the above proposed treatment. Note: Similar concept exists for Group Accounts (which may or may not be Consumer Finance Asset Class), in that a single Covered Asset exists which is comprised of a number of sub-assets. The number of children (sub-assets) under the master account (Covered Asset) will change over time. It is expected that a similar approach will apply. 10 |
Asset Continuity: Consumer Finance ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- Example: In line with the proposal overleaf, all assets outside the scheme are not included for reporting purposes. Loan 2, which was opened post 31/12/08 but before Trigger Date is included. The reported values for the ACAID being the sum of the individual sub-assets (loan 1, Overdraft 1 and loan 2 in this example) (2). Similarly , any Recoveries arising post-Trigger and Covered Liabilities will be reported in the applicable Quarterly Statement. Recoveries and Covered Liabilities arising from Loan 3 however, will not be included on the basis that this sub-asset was not included in the loss claim at Trigger Date.(4) Formal feedback from APA yet to be provided.

Asset Continuity: Consumer Finance Notes relating to example overleaf: 1) Triggers: a) Failure to pay -- the first 'Trigger' for a part of the Covered Asset will be a Trigger for the whole Covered Asset (except in the case of Long Dated Assets or Limited Recourse Assets for which the additional Trigger tests must be applied to the Covered Asset as a whole b) Bankruptcy -- A 'Trigger' in relation to part of the Covered Asset would generally give rise to a Trigger as a whole. In relation to "charging off" of an asset in the Consumer Finance Asset Class however, 'charging off' of part of the Covered Asset would not give rise to a Trigger in respect of the Covered Asset as a whole. In practice, it may be unusual for one account in respect of such a Covered Asset to remain open when the others are closed. c) Restructuring -- A 'Trigger' in relation to part of the Covered Asset would generally give rise to a Trigger as a whole, except where the 'Trigger' arises from the Restructuring Event in condition 5.18F(release or discharge of all Security) . The fact that this is satisfied in relation to part of a Covered Asset does not entail a release or discharge of all Security in respect of the Covered Asset as a whole. 2) Where the Cover Termination Date of the Covered Asset is before the Initial Event Date, the Asset is not reported as Triggered, and therefore Realisations and Covered Liabilities are not reported. 3) Covered amount components are generally the Original Maximum Exposure (taken by reference to 31/12/08 expected amortisation profile of the sub-asset), and the Actual Exposure by reference to the relevant sub asset as at day prior to Initial Event Date. 4) Treatment is to be applied regardless of whether the 'new' sub- asset represents refinancing or new lending. 5) In some Divisions there will be different Covered Assets (Customers) which are the same customer. This arises where the Customer has assets across several brands -- eg Natwest, RBS, Direct Line (eg. direct loans). Where this occurs, any 'new' assets within a brand will be aggregated into the relevant Customer (Covered Asset) within that brand. 12 |
