Original Exposure Method The original exposure method multiplies the nominal principal of the transaction type appearing on the left side of the following table by the weighting factor appearing on the right side of the table corresponding to the duration of the transaction appearing in the middle column of the table. Type of Transaction Foreign Exchange and Gold Transactions Interest Rate Transactions Duration Less than 1 year 1 year or more Less than 1 year 1 year or more Weighting Factor 2.0% Number of years 3.0% minus 1.0% Note: Durations of less than one year are calculated as one year. 0.5% Number of years 1.0% minus 1.0% Note: Durations of less than one year are calculated as one year. However, for transactions that are subject to legally valid reciprocal netting agreements, the nominal principal of the transaction type appearing on the left side of the following table may be multiplied by the weighting factor appearing on the right side of the table. Type of Transaction Foreign Exchange Transactions Interest Rate Transactions Duration Less than 1 year 1 year or more Less than 1 year 1 year or more Weighting Factor 1.5% Number of years 2.25% minus 0.75% Note: Durations of less than one year are calculated as one year. 0.35% Number of years 0.75% minus 0.75% Note: Durations of less than one year are calculated as one year. 16

17 b. Current Exposure Method The current exposure method uses the total of the following amounts: (1) The amount of reconstruction cost given as a positive value and calculated based on market prices prevailing at the time of calculating derivative transaction risk amount. (However, for transactions that are subject to legally valid reciprocal netting agreements, this may be taken as the amount of net reconstruction cost (positive value)). (2) The amount obtained by multiplying the nominal principal of the transaction type appearing on the left side of the following table by the weighting factor appearing on the right side of the table corresponding to the duration of the transaction appearing in the middle column of the table (gross add-on). However, for transactions that are subject to legally valid reciprocal netting agreements, the amount may be obtained with the following formula (net add-on): Net Add-on = 0.4 Gross Add-on Net Reconstruction Cost Gross Reconstruction Cost Type of Transaction Foreign Exchange and Gold Transactions Interest Rate Transactions Stock Transactions Precious Metals Transactions (excluding gold) Other Commodity Transactions Note: Duration Less than 1 year 1-5 years 5 years - Less than 1 year 1-5 years 5 years - Less than 1 year 1-5 years 5 years - Less than 1 year 1-5 years 5 years - Less than 1 year 1-5 years 5 years - Gross Add-on Weighting Factor 1.0% 5.0% 7.5% 0.0% 0.5% 1.5% 6.0% 8.0% 10.0% 7.0% 7.0% 8.0% 10.0% 12.0% 15.0% For transactions involving multiple exchanges of principal, when calculating the amount in (2) above, the weighting factors are multiplied by the number of exchanges that remain. For transactions subject to agreements structured to settle exposure on a specific payment due date and require the transaction to be restructured so that the market price is zero on said date, the remaining duration may be regarded as the period that ends on the next resetting date. For interest rate 17

18 transactions for which the remaining duration that satisfies these criteria is more than one (1) year, the add-on weighting factor shall not be less than 0.5 percent. Derivative transactions that are other than the transaction types stipulated above shall be treated as Other Commodity Transactions. For interest rate swaps involving the same currency and variable interest rates, there is no need to obtain a total of the amounts for (2) above. Note: Foreign exchange transactions shall refer to interest rate swaps between different currencies, forward exchange transactions (FXA), futures foreign exchange transactions, foreign currency futures transactions and currency option transactions (purchase of options only). Gold transactions shall refer to forward delivery, swap and option transactions (purchase of options only) on gold.
