1.   For the purposes of determining the treatment of shareholders and creditors under normal insolvency proceedings, the valuation shall only be based on information about facts and circumstances which existed and could reasonably have been known at the resolution decision date which, had they been known by the valuer, would have affected the measurement of the assets and liabilities of the entity at that date.

For the purposes of this Regulation, ‘resolution decision date’ means the date on which the decision to resolve an entity, is adopted pursuant to Article 82 of Directive 2014/59/EU.

2.   For purposes of determining the actual treatment of shareholders and creditors in resolution, the valuer shall rely on available information concerning facts and circumstances existing as of the actual treatment date or dates at which shareholders and creditors receive compensation (‘actual treatment date or dates’).

3.   The reference date of the valuation shall be the resolution decision date, which may differ from the actual treatment date. Insofar as the valuer deems the impact of any discounting of the proceeds to be negligible, the undiscounted proceeds at the date the resolution action has been implemented may be directly compared with the discounted amount of hypothetical proceeds that shareholders and creditors would have received had the entity entered normal insolvency proceedings at the resolution decision date.
