Over-Collateralisation Levels (notes 4 & 5) Over-Collateralisation (OC) figures presented below include Eligible only collateral.the exception to this is current OC which may include ineligible collateral. Over-collateralisation levels are provided on nominal basis. NPV stress test where stressed : n/a Current situation Committed OC : 12. Current OC : 25. OC consistent with current rating : 6. Sensivity scenario CB Anchor OC consistent with current rating Scenario 1 : CB Anchor is lowered by 1 notch 9. IV. Timely Payment Indicator & TPI Leeway Legal framework Timely Payment Indicator (TPI) : High Does a specific covered bond law apply for this programme : Yes TPI Leeway : 1 Main country in which collateral is based : Norway Country in which issuer is based : Norway Extract from TPI table - CB anchor is SUR + 1 notch SUR High A1 Timely payment A2 Refinancing period for principal payments of 6 months or greater : Yes A3 Liquidity reserve to support timely payments on all Issuances : No Baa2 Baa3 Aa1 Ba1 Aa2 (note 1) The data reported in this PO is based on information provided by the issuer and may include certain assumptions made by Moody's. Moody's accepts no responsibility for the information provided to it and, whilst it believes the assumptions it has made are reasonable, cannot guarantee that they are or will remain accurate. Although Moody's encourages all issuers to provide reporting data in a consistent manner, there may be differences in the way that certain data is categorised by issuers. The data reporting template (which Issuers are requested to use) is available on request. (note 2) We may use a senior unsecured rating or a deposit rating, depending on a case-by-case analysis of the most appropriate reference rating for the CB anchor. (note 3) Where the SUR already incorporates material levels of government support, the CB anchor may be positioned at SUR+0 regardless of the debt ratio. We will determine, on a case-by-case basis, the relevant level of support that would trigger the exception, but the level may apply to senior unsecured ratings that incorporate more than three notches of government support. (note 4) This assumes the Covered Bonds rating is not constrained by the TPI. Also to the extent rating assumptions change following a downgrade or an upgrade of the Issuer, the necessary OC stated here may also change. This is especially significant in the case of Issuers currently rated A2 or A3, as the necessary OC following a 1 notch downgrade may then be substantially higher than the amount suggested here as market risks are considered more critically by Moody s at this time. In any event, the necessary OC amounts stated here are subject to change at anytime at Moody s discretion. (note 5) This is the minimum OC calculated to be consistent with the current rating under Moody s expected loss model. However, the level of OC consistent with a given rating level may differ from this amount where ratings are capped under the TPI framework and, for example, where committee discretion is applied.
