______________________
(*) How the Minimum Floored works?
Minimum Floored for 5 years is linked to the Euribor 6
months Index. A Premium is deducted from the clients commercial
spread, as defined by the risk of the operation. The underlying
Euribor 6m is the simple average of the Euribor 6 months
announced during the previous month, on an act/360 day count
basis rounded to three decimal places. The underlying Euribor 6m
interest rate is reset every semester.
If the underlying rate is
below the Strike on the reset date, Minimum Floored for 5 years
assumes the Strike as the underlying rate until the next reset
date, when conditions are observed again.
At the end of the 5
years period, if neither a new term for Minimum floored or a fixed
rate is negotiated the Variable rate indexed will be applied,
plus a defined spread. |
