The retainer shall disclose to investors within the final offering document, prospectus, transaction summary or overview of the main features of the securitisation at least the following information regarding the level of its commitment to maintain a net economic interest in the securitisation:

1. (a) confirmation of the retainer's identity, whether it retains as originator, sponsor or original lender and, where the retainer is the originator, how it meets the requirements set out in the fifth subparagraph of Article 6(1) of Chapter 2 taking into account the principles set out in Article 2(6) of this Chapter;
2. (b) which of the modalities provided for in points (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of the second subparagraph of Article 6(3) of Chapter 2 has been applied to retain a net economic interest; and
3. (c) confirmation of the level of retention at origination and of the commitment to retain on an on-going basis, which shall relate only to the continuation of fulfilment of the original obligation and shall not require data on the current nominal or market value, or on any impairments or write-downs on the retained interest.

Where the exemptions referred to in paragraph 5 or 6 of Article 6 of Chapter 2 apply to a securitisation transaction, firms acting as originator, sponsor or original lender shall disclose within the final offering document, prospectus, transaction summary or overview of the main features of the securitisation information on the applicable exemption to investors.

The disclosure referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article shall be appropriately documented within the final offering document, prospectus, transaction summary or overview of the main features of the securitisation and made publicly available, except in bilateral or private transactions where private disclosure is considered by the parties to be sufficient. The inclusion of a statement on the retention commitment in the prospectus for the securities issued under the securitisation programme shall be considered an appropriate means of fulfilling the requirement.
