In Article 180, section 12, what are the risk factors assigned to an exposure that:
    - relates to a qualifying infrastructure investment that meets the criteria set out in Article 164a
    - is assigned to a matching adjustment portfolio in accordance with Article 77b(2) of Directive 2009/138/EC

EIOPA answer

Where the conditions set out in Article 180(12) DA are not met, the risk factors in Article 180(11) DA are not applicable and the spread risk charge has to be determined based on the applicable provisions set out in Article 176 to 181 DA.
