Article 50b - General rules for the calculation of K CCP

(ii)for exposures arising from contracts and transactions listed in Article 301(1)(b), (c) and (e) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 it shall calculate them in accordance with the Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method specified in Article 223 of that Regulation with supervisory volatility adjustments, specified in Articles 223 and 224 of that Regulation. The exception set out in point (a) of Article 285(3) of that Regulation, shall not apply;

(c)when calculating the values referred to in point (a), the CCP shall subtract from its exposures the collateral posted by its clearing members, appropriately reduced by the supervisory volatility adjustments in accordance with the Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method specified in Article 224 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013;

(h)\mathrm{PCE}_{\mathrm{red}} = 0.15 \cdot \mathrm{PCE}_{\mathrm{gross}} + 0.85 \cdot \mathrm{NGR} \cdot \mathrm{PCE}_{\mathrm{gross}}

when applying the Mark-to-Market Method as set out in Article 274 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, a CCP shall replace the formula in point (c)(ii) of Article 298(1) of that Regulation with the following:

where the numerator of NGR is calculated in accordance with Article 274(1) of that Regulation and just before the variation margin is actually exchanged at the end of the settlement period, and the denominator is gross replacement cost;

(i)where a CCP cannot calculate the value of NGR as set out in point (c)(ii) of Article 298(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, it shall:

(i)notify those of its clearing members which are institutions and their competent authorities about its inability to calculate NGR and the reasons why it is unable to carry out the calculation;

(ii)for a period of three months, it may use a value of NGR of 0,3 to perform the calculation of PCE_red specified in point (h) of this Article;

(j)where, at the end of the period specified in point (ii) of point (i), the CCP would still be unable to calculate the value of NGR, it shall do the following:

(i)stop calculating K_CCP;

(ii)notify those of its clearing members which are institutions and their competent authorities that it has stopped calculating K_CCP;

(k)for the purpose of calculating the potential future exposure for options and swaptions in accordance with the Mark-to-Market Method specified in Article 274 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, a CCP shall multiply the notional amount of the contract by the absolute value of the option's delta (δV/ δp) as set out in point (a) of Article 280(1) of that Regulation;

For the purposespurpose of thecalculating calculationK_{CCP} laidreferred downto in Article 50a(2), the following provisions shall apply:

(a)a CCPCCPs shall calculate the value of the exposures itthey hashave to itstheir clearing members as follows:

(i)for exposures arising from contracts and transactions listed in Articlepoints 301(1)(a)(a) and (d)(c) of Article 301(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013575/2013, itCCPs shall calculate themthe value in accordance with the mark-to-market method laidset downout in ArticleSection 2743 thereof;of Chapter 6 of Title II of Part Three of that Regulation by using a margin period of risk of 10 business days;

(ii)(iii) for exposures arising from contracts and transactions not listed in point (b) of Article 301(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013575/2013, and which entails settlement risk only itCCPs shall calculate themthe value (EAD_{i}) in accordance with Partthe Three,following Title V of that Regulation;formula:

EAD_i = max{EBRM_i – IM_i – DF_i; 0}

where:

EAD_i | = | the exposure value;

i | = | the index denoting the clearing member;

EBRM_i | = | the exposure value before risk mitigation that is equal to the exposure value of the CCP to clearing member i arising from all the contracts and transactions with that clearing member, calculated without taking into account the collateral posted by that clearing member;

IM_i | = | the initial margin posted with the CCP by clearing member i;

DF_i | = | the pre-funded default fund contribution of clearing member i.

All values in this formula shall relate to the valuation at the end of the day before the margin called on the final margin call of that day is exchanged;

(iii)for situations referred to in the third sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 301(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, CCPs shall calculate the value of the transactions referred to in the first sentence of that subparagraph in accordance with the formula set out in point (a)(ii) of this Article, and shall determine EBRM_i in accordance with Title V of Part Three of that Regulation;

(b)for institutions that fall under the scope of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 the netting sets are the same as those defined in Partpoint Three,(4) Titleof IIArticle 272 of that Regulation;

(c)(e) where a CCP that has exposures to one or more CCPs it shall treat any suchthose exposures as if they were exposures to clearing members and include any margin or pre-funded contributions received from those CCPs in the calculation of K_{CCP};

(d)(f) where a CCP that has in place a binding contractual arrangement with its clearing members that allows itthat CCP to use all or part of the initial margin received from its clearing members as if they were pre-funded contributions, the CCPcontributions shall consider that initial margin as prefundedpre-funded contributions for the purposes of the calculation in paragraph 1 and not as initial margin;

(e)where collateral is held against an account containing more than one of the types of contracts and transactions referred to in Article 301(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, CCPs shall allocate the initial margin provided by their clearing members or clients, as applicable, in proportion to the EADs of the respective types of contracts and transactions calculated in accordance with point (a) of this paragraph, without taking into account initial margin in the calculation;

(f)(l) whereCCPs athat CCP hashave more than one default fund, itfund shall carry out the calculation laid down in Article 50a(2) for each default fund separately.separately;

(g)where a clearing member provides client clearing services, and the transactions and collateral of the clearing member's clients are held in sub-accounts which are separate from those of the clearing member's proprietary business, CCPs shall carry out the calculation of EAD_i for each sub-account separately and shall calculate the clearing member's total EAD_i as the sum of the EADs of the clients' sub-accounts and the EAD of the clearing member's proprietary business sub-account;

(h)for the purposes of point (f), where DF_i is not split between the clients' sub-accounts and the clearing member's proprietary business sub-accounts, CCPs shall allocate DF_i per sub-account according to the respective fraction the initial margin of that sub-account has in relation to the total initial margin posted by the clearing member or for the account of the clearing member;

(i)CCPs shall not carry out the calculation in accordance with Article 50a(2) where the default fund covers cash transactions only.

For the purposes of point (a)(ii) of this Article, the CCP shall use the method specified in Article 223 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 with supervisory volatility adjustments set out in Article 224 of that Regulation to calculate the exposure value.
