i) the assets transferred by such an institution in terms of a traditional securitisation scheme shall for purposes of the calculation of the bank's capital requirement be reflected as assets on the balance sheet of the bank concerned;
ii) the risk transferred by such an institution in terms of a synthetic securitisation scheme shall for purposes of the calculation of the bank's capital requirement be reported as if the bank had not obtained any credit protection;
iii) the Registrar may preclude such a bank from future participation in a securitisation scheme in a primary role.
b) When the risks resulting from non-compliance by a bank with any of the conditions set out in this Schedule are regarded by the Registrar as excessive relative to the bank's qualifying capital and reserve funds, the Registrar may impose a capital requirement in addition to the ratio prescribed in the Regulations relating to Banks.

 

2) Conditions relating to non-compliance by a special-purpose institution
