For the purposes of clause 5, peak end-of-day aggregate credit exposure to an individual counterparty or a group of closely related counterparties for the period between the reporting date for the previous disclosure statement and the reporting date for the disclosure statement is derived by—

(b) then dividing that amount by the registered bank’s overseas banking group’s equity.

7 Meaning of credit rating

(1) For the purposes of clauses 2, 4 and 5, credit rating means a credit rating that meets the criteria in subclause (2) and that,—

(a) in the case of a group of closely related counterparties, applies to the entity heading the group of closely related counterparties; or

(b) in the case of an individual counterparty (which are not members of a group of closely related counterparties), applies to the individual counterparty.

(2) The following criteria:

(a) a credit rating that applies to—

(i) the relevant entity’s long term senior unsecured obligations payable in New Zealand, in New Zealand dollars; or

(ii) the relevant entity’s long term senior unsecured foreign currency obligations:
