[1] Not required for Covered Bonds backed by Residential Mortgages
[2] In each case (with the exception of the Transaction Documents dates) an additional period of 12 months is provided. During this period securities which do not meet the new requirements may remain eligible, though will be subject to increasing haircuts. Specifically, an additional 5 percentage point haircut will be applied at the beginning of this period, and the haircut will increase by an additional 5 percentage points every month during the transition. This haircut will be applied to any security within the relevant asset class until the Bank deems that the security meets all the transparency requirements.
[3] Applies to all transactions irrespective of asset class from 1st July 2011 as can be seen in paragraph 16 here
