Article 325ac Jump-to-default amounts for the ACTP

1. For the purposes of this Article, the following definitions apply:

(a) 'decomposition with a valuation model' means that a single name constituent of a securitisation is valued as the difference between the unconditional value of the securitisation and the conditional value of the securitisa­tion assuming that single name defaults with an LGD of 100 %;

(b) 'replication' means that the combination of individual securitisation index tranches are combined to replicate another tranche of the same index series, or to replicate an untranched position in the index series;

(c) 'decomposition' means replicating an index by a securitisation of which the underlying exposures in the pool are identical to the single name exposures that compose the index.

2. The gross JTD amounts for securitisation exposures and non-securitisation exposures in the ACTP shall be their market value or, if their market value is not available, their fair value determined in accordance with the applicable accounting framework.

3. Nth-to-default products shall be treated as tranched products with the following attachment and detachment points:
