AI Summary of Article 216 Additional requirements for credit derivatives
This document outlines the eligibility criteria for credit derivatives as unfunded credit protection. Key conditions include the specification of credit events such as payment failures, bankruptcy, and restructuring, alongside robust valuation processes for cash settlements. It is crucial that the rights to transfer the underlying obligation are protected and that the credit event determination process involves defined parties.
Notably, a mismatch between the underlying and reference obligations is acceptable if certain conditions concerning hierarchy and enforceability are met. For corporate exposures, specific requirements exist for amending contract terms, contingent on a solid legal framework governing corporate bankruptcy and restructuring.

Article 216 Additional requirements for credit derivatives
1. Credit derivatives shall qualify as eligible unfunded credit protection where all the conditions in Article 213 and all the following conditions are met:
(a) the credit events specified in the credit derivative contract include:
(i) the failure to pay the amounts due under the terms of the underlying obligation that are in effect at the time of such failure, with a grace period that is equal to or shorter than the grace period in the underlying obligation;
(ii) the bankruptcy, insolvency or inability of the obligor to pay its debts, or its failure or admission in writing of its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due, and analogous events;
(iii) the restructuring of the underlying obligation involving forgiveness or postponement of principal, interest or fees that results in a credit loss event;
(b) where credit derivatives allow for cash settlement:
(i) institutions have in place a robust valuation process in order to estimate loss reliably;
(ii) there is a clearly specified period for obtaining post-credit-event valuations of the underlying obligation;
