Article 22 Disclosure of the level of the commitment to maintain a net economic interest

The retainer shall, pursuant to Article 409 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, disclose to investors at least the following information regarding the level of its commitment to maintain a net economic interest in the securitisation:

1. (a)

   confirmation of the retainer's identity and of whether it retains as originator, sponsor or original lender;

2. (b)

   which of the modalities provided for in points (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of the second subparagraph of Article 405(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 has been applied to retain a net economic interest;

3. (c)

   any change to the modality to retain a net economic interest as referred to in point (b) in accordance with Article 10(1)(d);

4. (d)

   confirmation of the level of retention at origination and of the commitment to retain on an on-going basis, which shall relate only to the continuation of fulfilment of the original obligation and shall not require data on the current nominal or market value, or on any impairments or write-downs on the retained interest.

Where the exemptions referred to in paragraph 3 or 4 of Article 405 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 apply to a securitisation transaction, institutions acting as originator, sponsor or original lender shall disclose information on the applicable exemption to investors.

The disclosure referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be appropriately documented and made publicly available, except in bilateral or private transactions where private disclosure is considered by the parties to be sufficient. The inclusion of a statement on the retention commitment in the prospectus for the securities issued under the securitisation programme shall be considered an appropriate means of fulfilling the requirement.

The disclosure shall also be confirmed after origination with the same regularity as the reporting frequency of the transaction, at least annually and in any of the following circumstances:

1. (a)

   where a breach of the retention commitment referred to in Article 405(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 occurs;

2. (b)

   where the performance of the securitisation position or the risk characteristics of the securitisation or of the underlying exposures materially change;

3. (c)

   following a breach of the obligations included in the documentation relating to the securitisation.
