AI Summary of Article 309 Own funds requirements for pre-funded contributions to the default fund of a non-qualifying CCP and for unfunded contributions to a non-qualifying CCP

An institution is required to compute its own funds requirement for exposures related to pre-funded and unfunded contributions to the default fund of a non-qualifying Central Counterparty (CCP) using the formula: K = DF + UC, where DF represents the pre-funded contributions and UC denotes the unfunded contributions.

Furthermore, the risk-weighted exposure amounts attributable to these contributions must be determined by multiplying the calculated own funds requirement (K) by 12.5, in accordance with regulatory standards outlined in Article 92(3).

Article 309 Own funds requirements for pre-funded contributions to the default fund of a non-qualifying CCP and for unfunded contributions to a non-qualifying CCP

1. An institution shall apply the following formula to calculate the own funds requirement for the exposures arising from its pre-funded contributions to the default fund of a non-qualifying CCP and from unfunded contributions to such CCP:

K = DF + UC

where:

K = the own funds requirement;

DF = the pre-funded contributions to the default fund of a non-qualifying CCP; and

UC = the unfunded contributions to the default fund of a non-qualifying CCP.

2. An institution shall calculate the risk-weighted exposure amounts for exposures arising from that institution's contribution to the default fund of a non-qualifying CCP for the purposes of Article 92(3) as the own funds requirement, calculated in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article, multiplied by 12,5.
