HC-1.5.9 [versions up to October 2010]

Where a locally incorporated bank has a controller or majority ownership relationship with an SPV, or acts as sponsor, the bank must obtain the prior approval of the Central Bank for any changes to the capital, ownership, management or control of the SPV. All locally incorporated banks must also notify the Central Bank of any significant events in relation to the SPV. If necessary, the Central Bank may require that formal information exchange arrangements are put in place (e.g. a memorandum of understanding) if the SPV is located in a foreign jurisdiction and its activities are not supervised locally.
