(1) The current rate of interest on the loan;
(2) In the case of an adjustable rate loan:
(i) The amount and frequency by which the interest rate can be adjusted during the term of the loan or, if there are no limitations on the amount or frequency of such adjustments, a statement to that effect; and
(ii) An identification of the specific standard adjustment factors that are taken into account in making adjustments to the interest rate on the loan;
(3) The current effective interest rate on the loan with one or more representative examples of the impact of stock or participation certificate ownership and applicable loan origination charges on the current interest rate computed on an annualized basis;
(4) A statement indicating that stock that is purchased is at risk;
(5) A statement indicating the various types of loan options available to borrowers, with an explanation of the terms and borrower's rights that apply to each type of loan.

The notice required by this paragraph shall be made not later than 10 days after the effective date of a change in the interest rate. However, if the interest rate is directly tied to an external index that is widely publicized, the notice of change must be made promptly but not later than 30 days after the change in interest rate.
(c) Each qualified lender that takes any action which changes the amount of stock or participation certificates which borrowers are required to own and that modifies the effective interest rate on a loan shall furnish the following information in writing to the borrower at least 10 days before the date on which such action takes effect:
(1) The impact on the effective interest rate by disclosing the new effective interest rate or by a representative example;
(2) The date on which the new rate is effective; and
(3) A statement of the action(s) taken by the qualified lender that have resulted in the new effective interest rate.
(d) In the case of a loan involving more than one primary obligor, the requirements of paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section will be satisfied by providing the disclosure to any one of such parties.
