Answer Date: 31-01-2019

[ESMA 33-128-563 Securitisation Q&A, Q&A 5.1.18] No. The response category ‘OTHR’ (i.e. ‘Other’) constitutes a confirmation by the reporting entity that none of the remaining available response categories are true. The ‘OTHR’ (i.e. ‘Other’) response category may under no circumstances be used as a substitute for the ‘No Data’ options ND1-4 or ND5.
