SECN 5.10 Application of the retention options on NPE securitisations

1In case of NPE securitisations as referred to in SECN 5.2.8(2), for the purposes of applying SECN 5.5.1R(1) and SECN 5.6R to SECN 5.9R to the share of non-performing exposures in the pool of underlying exposures of a securitisation, any reference to the nominal value of the securitised exposures shall be construed as a reference to the net value of the non-performing exposures.

For the purposes of SECN 5.7, the net value of the retained non-performing exposures shall be calculated using the same amount of the non-refundable purchase price discount that would have been applied had the retained non-performing exposures been securitised.

For the purposes of SECN 5.2.8R(1)(a), SECN 5.6 or SECN 5.9 the net value of the retained part of the non-performing exposures shall be computed using the same percentage of the non-refundable purchase price discount that applies to the part that is not retained.

Where the non-refundable purchase price discount as referred to in SECN 5.2.8(2)(b) has been agreed at the level of the pool of underlying non-performing exposures, the net value of individual securitised non-performing exposures included in the pool or sub-pool, as applicable, shall be calculated by applying a corresponding share of the non-refundable purchase price discount agreed at pool or sub-pool level to each of the securitised non-performing exposures in proportion to their nominal value or, where applicable, their outstanding value at the time of origination.

Where the non-refundable purchase price discount includes the difference between the nominal amount of one tranche or several tranches of a NPE securitisation underwritten by the originator for subsequent sale and the price at which that tranche or those tranches are first sold to unrelated third parties as referred to in SECN 5.2.8R(2)(c), that difference shall be taken into account in the calculation of the net value of individual securitised non-performing exposures by applying a corresponding share of the difference to each of the securitised non-performing exposures in proportion to their nominal value.
