7. . U.K.
8. Where total exposure measure is equal to: {LRCalc;290;010}. U.K.

6. C 41.00 – On- and off-balance sheet items – additional breakdown of exposures (LR2) U.K.

24. Template LR2 provides information on additional breakdown items of all on- and off-balance sheet exposures (1) belonging to the non-trading book and of all exposures of the trading book subject to counterparty credit risk. The breakdown is in accordance with the risk weights applied under the credit risk section of the CRR. The information is derived differently for exposures under respectively the Standardised and the IRB Approach. U.K.
25. For exposures supported by CRM techniques implying the substitution of the risk weighting of the counterparty with the risk weighting of the guarantee, institutions shall refer to the risk weight after the substitution effect. Under the IRB Approach, institutions shall proceed with the following calculation: for exposures (other than those for which specific regulatory risk weights are provided for) belonging to each obligor grade, the risk weight shall be derived by dividing the risk weighted exposure obtained from the risk weight formula or the supervisory formula (for credit risk and securitisations exposures, respectively) by the exposure value after taking into account inflows and outflows due to CRM techniques with substitution effect on the exposure. Under the IRB Approach, exposures classified as in default shall be excluded from {020;010} to {090;010} and included in {100;010}. Under the Standardised Approach, exposures falling under Article 112(j) of the CRR shall be excluded from {020;020} to {090;020} and included in {100;020}. U.K.
26. Under both approaches, institutions shall consider exposures deducted from the regulatory capital as being applied a 1 250  % risk weight. U.K.
