# §324.45. Recognition of credit risk mitigants for securitization exposures.

- (a) **General.**
  - (1) An originating FDIC-supervised institution that has obtained a credit risk mitigant to hedge its exposure to a synthetic or traditional securitization that satisfies the operational criteria provided in [§ 324.41](/cfr/12/324.41.md) may recognize the credit risk mitigant under §§ [324.36](/cfr/12/324.36.md) or [324.37](/cfr/12/324.37.md), but only as provided in this section.
  - (2) An investing FDIC-supervised institution that has obtained a credit risk mitigant to hedge a securitization exposure may recognize the credit risk mitigant under §§ [324.36](/cfr/12/324.36.md) or [324.37](/cfr/12/324.37.md), but only as provided in this section.
- (b) **Mismatches.** An FDIC-supervised institution must make any applicable adjustment to the protection amount of an eligible guarantee or credit derivative as required in § [324.36(d)](/cfr/12/324.36.md?p=d), [(e)](/cfr/12/324.36.md?p=e), and [(f)](/cfr/12/324.36.md?p=f) for any hedged securitization exposure. In the context of a synthetic securitization, when an eligible guarantee or eligible credit derivative covers multiple hedged exposures that have different residual maturities, the FDIC-supervised institution must use the longest residual maturity of any of the hedged exposures as the residual maturity of all hedged exposures.
