7. Derivative Lending Limits

8. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS • The Commissioner’s Guidance follows the OCC rule and a CSBS Model Rule was also used to guide this and other state’s in developing their guidance. • The lending limits final rule provides a number of alternative methods for calculating credit exposure arising from derivatives transactions.

9. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS • Unless required to use a specific method by the appropriate federal banking agency for safety and soundness reasons, a bank may choose which of these methods it will use. • Our final rule clarifies that the Commissioner may, at his discretion, permit a bank to use a specific method to calculate credit exposure, and that this method may apply to all or specific transactions if it is determined that such method is consistent with the safety and soundness of the bank.

10. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Definitions • Derivative transaction - any transaction that is a contract, agreement, swap, warrant, note, or option that is based, in whole or in part, on the value of, any interest in, or any quantitative measure or the occurrence of any event relating to, one or more commodities, securities, currencies, interest or other rates, indices, or other assets.

11. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Definitions • Credit derivative - a financial contract executed under standard industry credit derivative documentation that allows one party (the protection purchaser) to transfer the credit risk of one or more exposures (reference exposure) to another party (the protection provider).

12. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Three Methods • Model Method • Conversion Factor Matrix Method • Current Exposure Method Key Concepts • Current Credit Exposure – Mark-to-Market • Potential Future Exposure – Model or Table

13. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Model Method • While this methodology is intended to improve the accuracy of the calculation of a bank’s credit exposures, use by community banks is expected to be limited due to the cost of developing and supporting an internal model. • Model Method Credit Exposure = Current Credit Exposure (CCE) + Potential Future (Credit) Exposure (PFE)

14. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Model Method • Regulator-approved internal model to calculate credit exposure arising from derivatives. • Approved in writing by the appropriate federal banking agency for purposes of Section 32(d) of the advanced approaches capital rules • or any other appropriate model the use of which for lending limits purposes has been approved in writing by the appropriate federal banking agency

15. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Model Method • Under the Model Method, current credit exposure equals the greater of the mark-to-market value of the derivative and zero. • The final rule clarifies that if a bank makes a substantive revision to a model after receiving the appropriate federal banking agency’s approval, the use of the revised model must be approved by the agency before it may be used for purposes of calculating lending limits. The OCC also declined to allow the use of a model on a provisional basis pending its approval.

16. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Conversion Factor Matrix Method • While probably not an option for banks with significant derivative positions, it is the easiest to apply and manage. • Likely method for banks with limited derivative positions.

17. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Conversion Factor Matrix Method • Credit Exposure = Notional Amount x Conversion Factor (look-up table) • Credit exposure will equal and remain fixed at the PFE of a derivative transaction.

18. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Conversion Factor Matrix Method • Similar to the Current Exposure Method, except that the exposure amount remains fixed. • This is achieved by removing the current credit exposure component (which is based on the derivative transaction’s mark-to-market value) of the Current Exposure Method formula, which can fluctuate over time, and by adjusting the values in the conversion factor matrix to reflect the absence of the current credit exposure component.

19. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS

20. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Current Exposure Method • Balance between Model Method and Conversion Factor Matrix Method • For a single derivative transaction that is not subject to a qualifying master netting agreement: • Credit Exposure = Current credit exposure + PFE

21. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS Current Exposure Method • For multiple derivative transactions subject to a qualifying master netting agreement: • Credit Exposure = Net current credit exposure + Adjusted sum of PFE amounts • The Current Exposure Method (“CEM”), when combined with the Collateral Haircut Approach, allows a bank to take into account the credit risk-mitigating benefits of collateral.

22. DERIVATIVE LENDING LIMITS 2014 Examination Procedures • Ensure management has considered the derivatives lending limits and established a method for measurement.
