the institution is an investment firm that is subject to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 by virtue of exceeding the threshold set out in Article 4(1), point (1)(b), of that Regulation or by virtue of a decision of the competent authority in accordance with Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2019/2034 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 2 );
the institution is an entity that results from either the merger of at least two institutions or the split of an institution into at least two institutions.
For the institutions referred to in paragraph 4, the following shall apply in relation to their reporting that is subject to the thresholds set out in Article 4 for the first two reference dates:
institutions that exceed the relevant threshold already on the first reference date shall report the information that is subject to that threshold both for the first and for the second reference dates;
institutions that exceed the relevant threshold only on the second reference date, institutions shall report the information that is subject to that threshold on the second reference date.
Institutions that have fallen below the relevant thresholds referred to in points (a) and (b) on three consecutive reporting reference dates may stop reporting information subject to the threshold on the next reporting reference date.
