The heading and text of Article 250 changed from setting out a maturity mismatch treatment for synthetic securitisations, with a formula and defined variables, to a wholly different set of rules on implicit support, prohibiting an originator or sponsor institution from providing support beyond contractual obligations to a securitisation, and setting out what counts as arm's length treatment, notification duties, EBA guidelines, and consequences of non-compliance.

The earlier version contained a single unnumbered block of text with points (a) and (b) concerning maturity mismatch calculation, whereas the later version is structured into five numbered paragraphs, (1) through (5), covering support prohibition, exclusions from that prohibition, notification, EBA guidelines, and disclosure obligations upon non-compliance.

Article 250
Treatment of maturity mismatches in synthetic securitisations
For the purposes of calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts in accordance with Article 249, any maturity mismatch between the credit protection which constitutes a tranche and by which the transfer of risk is achieved and the securitised exposures shall be taken into consideration as follows:
(a) the maturity of the securitised exposures shall be taken to be the longest maturity of any of those exposures subject to a maximum of five years. The maturity of the credit protection shall be determined in accordance with Chapter 4;
(b) an originator institution shall ignore any maturity mismatch in calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts for tranches appearing pursuant to this Section with a risk weighting of 1250 %. For all other tranches, the maturity mismatch treatment set out in Chapter 4 shall be applied in accordance with the following formula:
RW*RWSP  t  t*T  t*RWAss  T  tT  t*
where:
RW*
risk-weighted exposure amounts for the purposes of Article 92(3)(a);
RWAss
risk-weighted exposure amounts for exposures if they had not been securitised, calculated on a pro-rata basis;
RWSP
risk-weighted exposure amounts calculated under Article 249 if there was no maturity mismatch;
T
maturity of the underlying exposures expressed in years;
t
maturity of credit protection. expressed in years;

Article 250
Implicit support
1. A sponsor institution, or an originator institution which in respect of a securitisation has made use of Article 247(1) and (2) in the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts or has sold instruments from its trading book to the effect that it is no longer required to hold own funds for the risks of those instruments shall not provide support, directly or indirectly, to the securitisation beyond its contractual obligations with a view to reducing potential or actual losses to investors.
2. A transaction shall not be considered as support for the purposes of paragraph 1 where the transaction has been duly taken into account in the assessment of significant credit risk transfer and both parties have executed the transaction acting in their own interest as free and independent parties (arm’s length). For these purposes, the institution shall undertake a full credit review of the transaction and, at a minimum, take into account all of the following items:
(a) the repurchase price;
(b) the institution’s capital and liquidity position before and after repurchase;
(c) the performance of the underlying exposures;
(d) the performance of the securitisation positions;
(e) the impact of support on the losses expected to be incurred by the originator relative to investors.
3. The originator institution and the sponsor institution shall notify the competent authority of any transaction entered into in relation to the securitisation in accordance with paragraph 2.
4. The EBA shall, in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, issue guidelines on what constitutes arm’s length for the purposes of this Article and the circumstances under which a transaction is not structured to provide support.
5. If an originator institution or a sponsor institution fails to comply with paragraph 1 in respect of a securitisation, the institution shall include all of the underlying exposures of that securitisation in its calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts as if they had not been securitised and disclose:
(a) that it has provided support to the securitisation in breach of paragraph 1; and
(b) the impact of the support provided in terms of own funds requirements.

The wording of the formula for RW* under point (b) is presented differently, with the spacing and symbols of the equation reformatted rather than any of the defined terms or their meanings being altered.

The surrounding text of the article, including the introductory clause and points (a) and (b), remains the same in substance between the two versions.
