The prepayment penalties include the fees for the unscheduled repayment of loans during the fixed interest period; in the previous year, this applied in particular to the sale of unencumbered portfolios to the State of Berlin (Berlin Deal). The current interest rate environment and the resulting positive fair values is having a significant impact resulting from the valuation of swaps.
