General comments:
This section relates to annual submission of information for groups.
This template is relevant for each group transferring risk(s) to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), to ensure sufficient disclosure has been made where SPVs are used as alternative risk transfer methods to traditional reinsurance treaties.
The template applies to the use of:
SPVs defined under Article 13 (26) and authorised under Article 211 (1) of Directive 2009/138/EC;
SPVs meeting conditions of Article 211 (3) of Directive 2009/138/EC;
SPVs regulated by third country supervisors where these meet equivalent measures to the conditions set out in Article 211 (2) of Directive 2009/138/EC;
Other SPVs, not meeting the definitions above, where risks are transferred under arrangements with the economic substance of a reinsurance contract.
The template covers risk mitigation techniques (recognised or not) carried out by the (re)insurance undertaking within the scope of group supervision whereby a SPV assumes risks from the undertaking within the scope of group supervision through a reinsurance contract; or assume insurance risks from the undertaking within the scope of group supervision transferred through a similar arrangement that is ‘reinsurance like’.
This template shall include data of special purpose vehicles to which the participating insurance or reinsurance undertaking or one of its insurance or reinsurance subsidiaries has transferred risk.

Where the reinsurance treaty or a similar arrangement provides cover for more than one line of business, as defined in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, and the terms of cover differ between lines of business then the treaty needs to be specified over multiple rows. The first row entry for the treaty needs to be entered as ‘Multiline’ that provides details of the overall terms of the treaty, with the subsequent rows providing details of the individual terms of the reinsurance treaty to each relevant line of business. Where the term of the cover do not differ by line of business only the dominant line of business is required. |

This information should be complementary to the information on ‘Type of Trigger(s) in the SPV’ and should be descriptive enough to allow supervisors to identify the concrete trigger, e.g. specific weather/storm indices for cat risks or general mortality tables for longevity risks. |
C0090 | Same trigger as in underlying cedant's portfolio | Identify if the trigger defined in the underlying (re)insurance policy with the pay–out trigger defined in the treaty is the same as the one defined in the SPV. The following closed list shall be used:

C0130 | Other non cedant–specific SPV Assets for which recourse may exist | The amount of SPV assets (recognised on balance sheet of the SPV), not directly related to the reporting cedant but for which recourse exists.

|
C0170 | Current recoverables from SPV | Amount of SPV Recoverables recognised on the Solvency II balance sheet of the undertaking within the scope of group supervision (prior to adjustments made for expected losses due to counterparty default).
