Article 1 - Estimation of the additional own funds requirement

Article 1

Estimation of the additional own funds requirement

1.   Where a resolution entity has not been subject to an additional own funds requirement as referred to in Article 104a of Directive 2013/36/EU at the resolution group consolidated level, resolution authorities shall estimate that requirement in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 7 for determining the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) of the resolution entity at the resolution group consolidated level.

2.   Where the total risk exposure amount of the resolution entity at the resolution group consolidated level differs by 5 % or less from the total risk exposure amount of the Union parent institution at the group consolidated level, resolution authorities shall use the additional own funds requirement imposed on the Union parent institution at the group consolidated level as an estimation of that requirement for determining the MREL of the resolution entity at the resolution group consolidated level.

3.   Resolution authorities shall use as an estimation of the additional own funds requirement of the resolution entity at the resolution group consolidated level the additional own funds requirement of the entity accounting for the largest proportion of the consolidated total risk exposure amount of the resolution group where all of the following applies:

(a)

the total risk exposure amount of the resolution entity at the resolution group consolidated level differs by more than 5 % from the total risk exposure amount of the Union parent institution at the group consolidated level;

(b)

the total risk exposure amount of the resolution entity at the resolution group consolidated level is equal to, or differs by less than 5 % from, the individual total risk exposure amount of the entity accounting for the largest proportion of the consolidated total risk exposure amount of the resolution group;

(c)

the additional own funds requirement of the entity accounting for the largest proportion of the consolidated total risk exposure amount of the resolution group is greater than zero.

4.   Where paragraphs 2 and 3 do not apply and none of the entities that are part of the resolution group are subject to a higher additional own funds requirement than the additional own funds requirement imposed on the Union parent institution at the group consolidated level, resolution authorities shall use as an estimation of the additional own funds requirement of the resolution entity at the resolution group consolidated level the additional own funds requirement imposed on the Union parent institution at the group consolidated level, subject to the adjustments referred to in Article 2.

5.   Where paragraphs 2 and 3 do not apply and one or more of the entities that are part of the resolution group are subject to a higher additional own funds requirement than the additional own funds requirement imposed on the Union parent institution at the group consolidated level, resolution authorities shall use as an estimation of the additional own funds requirement of the resolution entity at the resolution group consolidated level the higher of the following:

(a)

the additional own funds requirement imposed on the Union parent institution at the group consolidated level subject to the adjustments referred to in Article 2;

(b)

the sum of the products of the additional own funds requirements of the entities of the resolution group and the respective individual total risk exposure amounts of those entities divided by the sum of the individual total risk exposure amounts of those entities.

6.   For the purposes of paragraph 5, point (b), where no additional own funds requirement has been imposed on an entity on an individual basis, the additional own funds requirement of that entity shall be zero.

7.   For the purposes of this Article, the total risk exposure amount shall be calculated in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 92 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and on an individual or consolidated basis, as applicable.
