ANNEX

Calculation methodology for Method 2 pursuant to Directive 2002/87/EC

Deduction and aggregation method

The calculation of supplementary capital adequacy requirements under method 2 shall be carried out on the basis of the applicable accounting framework of each of the entities in the group following the formulaic expression below:

where own funds (OFi ) exclude intra-group capital instruments that are eligible as own funds in accordance with sectoral rules.

The supplementary capital adequacy requirements (scar) shall thus be calculated as the difference between:

1.	the sum of the own funds (OFi ) of each regulated and non-regulated financial sector entity (i) in the financial conglomerate; the elements eligible are those which qualify in accordance with the relevant sectoral rules; and

2.

the sum of the solvency requirements (REQi) for each regulated and non-regulated financial sector entity (i) in the group (G); the solvency requirements shall be calculated in accordance with the relevant sectoral rules; and the book value (BVj) of the participations in other entities (j) of the group.

In the case of non-regulated financial sector entities, a notional solvency requirement shall be calculated in accordance with Article 12. Own funds and solvency requirements shall be taken into account for their proportional share (x) as provided for in Article 6(4) of Directive 2002/87/EC and in accordance with Annex I to that Directive.

The difference shall not be negative.
