(1) The upper part of the range relates to non-material balance sheet position on a European corporate. The other part relates mainly to sovereign issuers. (2) The upper bound of the range relates to a fi nancial sector issuer that represents an insignifi cant portion of the balance sheet (CDSs with illiquid
underlying instruments). (3) The upper part of the range relates to three equity instruments representing a non-material portion of the balance sheet on options with equity
underlying instruments. Including these inputs, the upper bound of the range would be around 422%. (a) Weights based on relevant risk axis at portfolio level. (b) No weighting, since no explicit sensitivity is attributed to these inputs. (c) Weighting is not based on risks, but on an alternative methodology in relation with the Level 3 instruments (present value or notional). (d) Simple averaging.
