(a)they are freely available to the credit institution to cover normal banking risks where revenue or capital losses have not yet been identified;
(b)their existence is disclosed in internal accounting records; and

(b)the debt agreement shall provide for the credit institution to have the option of deferring the payment of interest on the debt;
(c)the lender's claims on the credit institution shall be wholly subordinated to those of all non-subordinated creditors;
(d)the documents governing the issue of the securities shall provide for debt and unpaid interest to be such as to absorb losses, whilst leaving the credit institution in a position to continue trading; and

To these securities and other instruments may be added cumulative preferential shares other than those referred to in point (h) of Article 57.
