I. Purpose This circular shall define which information banks and securities traders must directly or indirectly submit annually and semi-annually to the FINMA using standardized electronic survey forms, going through the Swiss National Bank (SNB) or the audit firm under bank law or stock exchange law, respectively. 1* This information shall allow the FINMA to operate an early-warning system to ensure a risk-based supervision. The FINMA shall obtain an overall view of the state and development of the banking system through statistical analyses, comparisons prior to cut-off dates, trend analyses and by benchmarking individual banks, securities traders and financial groups as well as peer groups. The supervisory reporting shall be in addition to the reporting of the auditors under bank law and stock exchange law. 2* The summary of qualified equity holders of a bank (Article 13 BO) or qualified equity holders of securities traders (Article 28(4) SESTO) shall be used for monitoring the continuous adherence to licensing requirements (Article 3(2)(cbis) BA; Article 10(2)(d) SESTA) as well as for determining a possible foreign control, which would require consolidated supervision. 3* II. Reporting population All banks and securities traders have to produce annual and semi-annual supervisory reportings (margin nos. 8, 10) as well as annual statements on the holders of qualified or significant equity interests (margin no. 12) as well as the annual reports on the ten largest exposures (margin no. 13) at stand-alone level. 4* In addition to the stand-alone supervisory reporting (margin nos. 9 and 11), financial groups must also report the ten largest exposures at consolidated level (margin no. 13), provided they are obliged to prepare consolidated financial statements or partially consolidated financial statements as per Articles 34 and 35 BO or Article 29 SESTO, or 5* that, due to a holding or a comparable group structure, the FINMA has instructed it or it is otherwise obliged to observe the accounting regulations, capital adequacy rules and the large exposure rules on a consolidated basis. 6 Circular 2008/14 Supervisory Reporting - Banks 4

III. Subject-matter and recipients of filed reports Banks, securities dealers and financial groups must report to the following recipients: 1 7* Notification Annual single-entity supervisory reporting as per Annex 1 Addressees SNB and bank law and/or stock exchange law audit firm 8 Annual consolidated supervisory reporting as per Annex 1 Semi-annual single-entity supervisory reporting as per Annex 1 Semi-annual consolidated supervisory reporting as per Annex 1 Statement of qualified or significant equity interests as per Annex 2 Report on the ten largest exposures at single-entity and consolidated basis, as per Annex 3 1 SNB and bank law and/or stock exchange law audit firm SNB and bank law and/or stock exchange law audit firm SNB and bank law and/or stock exchange law audit firm FINMA and bank law and/or stock exchange law audit firm Bank law and stock exchange law audit firm (enclosure to regulatory audit report, FINMA circ. 13/3 Auditing ) 9 10 11 12 13* The figures reported to the Swiss National Bank pursuant to Annex 1 are verified by the SNB and processed and forwarded to the FINMA. They are treated as confidential. Thus, duplication is avoided which is also in the interest of the supervised banks and securities traders. 14 Banks and securities dealers prepare their supervisory reporting based on their statutory single-entity financial statements (FINMA circ. 15/1 Accounting - Banks, margin no. 5). 14.1* According to Article 958d(3) Code of Obligations (CO; SR 220), the accounting and financial reporting shall be in Swiss francs or a business-relevant currency. If a foreign currency is used, all accounting values must also be indicated in Swiss francs, as per FINMA circ. 15/1, margin no. 73. The Swiss franc values shall be of significance for the supervisory reporting. 14.2* The survey forms for the supervisory reporting pursuant to Annex 1 shall be based on the presentation guidelines stipulated in FINMA circ. 15/1 Accounting - banks. These forms shall also be used by financial groups that apply internationally recognized accounting standards (FINMA circ. 15/1 Accounting - Banks, margin no. 10). Thus, the items of the consolidated financial statements must also match the relevant positions in the form. The SNB shall make available the relevant forms to the institution that need to submit these reports. As a rule, the data has to be filed electronically. 15* 1 Accessible under www.finma.ch Circular 2008/14 Supervisory Reporting - Banks 5

Banks, securities traders and financial groups that need to adjust their accounts after having submitted the report must resubmit the entire reporting to the SNB within seven months of the cut-off date. 18* B. Interim financial statements The reports pursuant to margin nos. 10 11 must be filed within 60 days of the cut-off date of the interim financial statement.

Annex 3 Report on the ten largest borrowers I. Borrowers to be reported Banks and securities dealers shall prepare a list of their ten largest borrowers or groups of affiliated borrowers. For the definition of a group of affiliated borrowers, see the rules in Article 109 CAO. 1 If borrowers or groups of affiliated borrowers are public-law entities in OECD states, banks and securities dealers in Switzerland and abroad, or insurance companies in Switzerland or abroad, these do not have to be reported. However, if they engage in transactions with affiliated parties (Organgeschäfte) as described in Article 100(4) CAO, this must be reported. Foreign banks, securities dealers and insurance companies shall be exempted only if these are subject to an adequate supervision. Groups of affiliated borrowers which partly consist of banks, securities dealers or banks (e.g. conglomerates) shall be subject to reporting requirements if the banks, securities dealers or insurance companies in the group are of lesser significance. In such a case, the group's total limits and total exposure (see margin number 3 of this Annex) shall be reported, not only the exposures of borrowers that are not a bank, a securities dealer or insurance company. 2 II. Calculating the exposure The value of relevance for the borrowers or groups of affiliated borrowers to be reported shall be either the overall limit or the total exposure (gross, prior to deducting any specific valuation allowances). The total exposure is the value of relevance if it is higher than the overall limit or if there is no overall limit. The total exposure and possibly the overall limit shall be indicated. The calculation is as follows: 3 Receivables and debt securities in the balance sheet items Receivables from securities financing transactions, Amounts due from clients, Amounts due secured by mortgage, Other financial instruments with fair-value valuation, Trading activities and financial investments as well as Amounts due from banks, if necessary; Off-balance-sheet transactions: The items Contingent liabilities, Irrevocable commitments, payment and additional funding obligations ; Credit equivalents of derivative financial instruments as per Articles 56-59 CAO and FINMA circ. 08/19 Credit risks - Banks ; and Circular 2008/14 Supervisory Reporting - Banks 12

Net long positions in equity securities calculated in accordance with Articles 51 and 52 CAO (for securities considered as equity participation, only investments not subject to consolidation should be considered). The netting of receivables and payables shall be allowed only at the same conditions and in the same scope as in the accounting rules and capital adequacy provisions. 4 The decisive value calculated according to margin no. 3 of this Annex is not risk-weighted. Limits and exposures shall be considered regardless of their coverage. This in particular results in the procedure foreseen in Article 117(1) CAO not being applicable and items with a risk weight of 0% in accordance with the capital adequacy provisions must be considered in full. 5 6 III. Materiality Borrowers or groups of affiliated borrowers do not need to be reported (even if the relevant value as per margin no. 3 of this Annex would cause them to be in this report) if the relevant value is less than CHF 1 million and makes up less than 4% of the eligible regulatory capital as per Articles 18-40 CAO. This rule also applies for transactions with the bank s affiliated parties as per Article 100(4) CAO. 7 IV. Content of reports The report shall contain the following information for each borrower or group of affiliated borrowers 8 a) Name, first name and address (place of residence/domicile) of the contractual parties and any beneficial owners in case these are not identical to the contractual parties. In the case of public limited companies, the information on the shareholders shall be disclosed. b) Approved overall limit and the corresponding total exposure as per margin no. 3 of this Annex, in CHF 1000: c) Any value adjustments, in CHF 1000: d) Indication whether it is a transaction with the bank s affiliated parties as per Article 100(4) CAO. The key date for calculating the reportable data shall be the key date of the regulatory audit report to which the list of large exposures has been added as required in Article 100 CAO. 9 Circular 2008/14 Supervisory Reporting - Banks 13
