Article 10

General principles

1.   The valuer shall assess the impact on the valuation of each resolution action that the resolution authority may adopt to inform the decisions referred to in points (b) to (g) of Article 36(4) of Directive 2014/59/EU. Without prejudice to the valuer's independence, the resolution authority may consult with the valuer in order to identify the range of resolution actions being considered by that authority, including actions contained in the resolution plan or, if different, any proposed resolution scheme.

2.   To ensure a fair, prudent and realistic valuation, the valuer shall, where appropriate and in consultation with the resolution authority, present separate valuations that reflect the impact of a sufficiently diverse range of resolution actions.

3.   The valuer shall ensure that when the resolution tools are applied or when the power to write-down or convert relevant capital instruments is exercised, any losses on the assets of the entity are fully recognised under scenarios that are relevant to the ranges of resolution actions being considered.

4.   Where the values of the valuation diverge significantly from the values presented by the entity in the financial statements, the valuer shall use the assumptions of that valuation, to inform the adjustments to the assumptions and to the accounting policies necessary for the preparation of the updated balance sheet required under Article 36(6) of Directive 2014/59/EU, in a way consistent with the applicable accounting framework. As regards losses identified by the valuer which cannot be recognised in the updated balance sheet, the valuer shall specify the amount, describe the reasons underlying the determination of the losses and the likelihood and time horizon of their occurrence.

5.   Where capital instruments or other liabilities are converted to equity, a valuation shall provide an estimate of the post-conversion equity value of new shares transferred or issued as consideration to holders of converted capital instruments or other creditors. That estimate shall form the basis for the determination of the conversion rate or rates pursuant to Article 50 of Directive 2014/59/EU.
