Division 8.1 Vestjysk will:
United Kingdom
- 8.1.1.
In 2017, 2018 and 2019 (if applicable) present a report in the form enclosed to this Decision to the Monitoring Trustee showing a distribution of the pre-tax ROE of the Bank's business clients (which include all SMEs) and, for consumer clients, average gross earnings with credit quality grades as set out in section 8.1.6.
- 8.1.2.
In 2018 and if applicable in 2019, prepare a strategy demonstrating how the profitability of the Bank's client relationships will be increased. This strategy must be sufficiently detailed, clarifying among others the targeted customer segments, proposed income-increasing measures (including the possibility to terminate unsatisfactory client-relationships).
- 8.1.3.
In 2018, price every new loan (considering as new loan any new business not related to an existing transaction) by using an appropriate internal pricing tool or in the case of consumer client exposures using appropriate internal pricing guidelines and a centralised demonstration that pricing guidelines support a gross average earnings per customer of at least DKK [2 800 — 3 300] based on a standardised model family. Pricing for new loans to business clients will be considered adequate if the new loan contributes to achieve a positive RoE at client level of at least [8-12] % pre-tax in 2018.
- 8.1.4.
From 2019 onwards (if applicable) ensure that, to the extent legally possible, every client relationship (and not just new loans) shall be priced in accordance with clause 8.1.3 above. A failure to demonstrate a positive RoE at client level of at least [8-12] % pre-tax for individual business client relationships exceeding an exposure of DKK [2,2-2,7] million at the moment of pricing will lead to an escalation of the credit files to the Management Board for formal approval by a reasoned decision.
If the total amount of exceptions for all business client relationships, regardless of their size, that do not meet the mentioned hurdle rate exceeds [2-3] % of the Bank's audited net loan exposure (at the end of the previous financial year) within the financial year, Vestjysk shall, to the extent legally possible, (i), in relation to business clients, ensure a reduction of the amount of net loan exposure to business clients that does not meet the mentioned hurdle rate by [18-25] % compared to the previous financial year and (ii), in relation to consumer clients, ensure an increase in average gross earnings of [4-8] % from the current level of DKK [2 800-3 300] to the minimum level of DKK [2 800-3 300].
- 8.1.5.
For the purpose of these calculations for business clients, new loans will have a credit documentation demonstrating a pre-deal calculated RoE at client level for either the individual loan or other live exposure on single client including fee business or banking transactions. The above-mentioned new loans shall have a credit documentation demonstrating this pre-deal calculated RoE at client-level at the moment of the credit decision and for any financial year thereafter.
- 8.1.6.
Credit deals not falling under this pricing policy regime: restructuring cases (credit quality (in Danish: udlånsbonitet) grade of 1 and 2c pursuant to the DFSA's general customer classification system) for which a restructuring or recovery plan (in Danish: kredithandlingsplan) has been prepared and all money market transactions.
