[F1ANNEX II U.K. REPORTING ON OWN FUNDS AND OWN FUNDS REQUIREMENTS

PART II: TEMPLATE RELATED INSTRUCTIONS U.K.

1. CAPITAL ADEQUACY OVERVIEW (CA) U.K.

1.1. GENERAL REMARKS U.K.

10. CA templates contain information about Pillar 1 numerators (own funds, Tier 1, Common Equity Tier 1), denominator (own funds requirements), and the application of CRR and CRD transitional provisions and is structured in five templates: U.K.
(a)

CA1 template contains the amount of own funds of the institutions, disaggregated in the items needed to get to that amount. The amount of own funds obtained includes the aggregate effect of the application of CRR and CRD transitional provisions per type of capital;

(b)

CA2 template summarises the total risk exposures amounts as defined in Article 92(3) CRR;

(c)

CA3 template contains the ratios for which CRR states a minimum level, and some other related data;

(d)

CA4 template contains memorandums items needed, among others, for calculating items in CA1 as well as information with regard to CRD capital buffers;

(e)

CA5 template contains the data needed for calculating the effect of the application of CRR transitional provisions in own funds. CA5 will cease to exist once those transitional provisions expire.

11. The templates shall be used by all reporting entities, irrespective of the accounting standards followed, although some items in the numerator are specific for entities applying IAS/IFRS-type valuation rules. Generally, the information in the denominator is linked to the final results reported in the correspondent templates for the calculation of the total risk exposure amount. U.K.
12. The total own funds consist of different types of capital: Tier 1 capital (T1), which is the sum of Common Equity Tier 1 capital (CET1) and Additional Tier 1 capital (AT1) as well as Tier 2 capital (T2). U.K.
13. The application of CRR and CRD transitional provisions is treated as follows in CA templates: U.K.
(a)

The items in CA1 are generally gross of transitional adjustments. That means that figures in CA1 items are calculated in accordance with the final provisions (i.e. as if there were no transitional provisions), with the exception of items summarizing the effect of those transitional provisions. For each type of capital (i.e. CET1; AT1 and T2), there are three different items in which all the adjustments due to those transitional provisions are included.

(b)

Transitional provisions may also affect the AT1 and the T2 shortfall (i.e. AT1 or T2 the excess of deduction, regulated in point (j) of Article 36(1) and point (e) of Article 56 CRR respectively), and thus the items containing those shortfalls may indirectly reflect the effect of those transitional provisions.

(c)

Template CA5 is exclusively used for reporting the effect due to the application of the CRR transitional provisions.

14. The treatment of Pillar II requirements can be different within the Union (Article 104(2) CRD has to be transposed into national regulation). Only the impact of Pillar II requirements on the solvency ratio or the target ratio shall be included in the solvency reporting required under CRR. A detailed reporting of Pillar II requirements is not within the mandate of Article 99 CRR. U.K.
a)

The templates CA1, CA2 or CA5 only contain data on Pillar I issues.

b)

The template CA3 contains the impact of additional Pillar II-requirements on the solvency ratio on an aggregated basis. One block focuses on the impact of amounts on the ratios, whereas the other block focuses on the ratio itself. Both blocks of ratios do not have any further link to the templates CA1, CA2 or CA5.

c)

The template CA4 contains one cell regarding additional own funds requirements relating to Pillar II. That cell has no link via validation rules to the capital ratios of the CA3 template and reflects Article 104(2) CRD which explicitly mentions additional own funds requirements as one possibility for Pillar II decisions.

1.6. TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS AND GRANDFATHERED INSTRUMENTS: INSTRUMENTS NOT CONSTITUTING STATE AID (CA5) U.K.

1.6.1. General remarks U.K.
15. CA5 summarises the calculation of own funds elements and deductions subject to the transitional provisions laid down in Articles 465 to 491 CRR. U.K.
16. CA5 is structured as follows: U.K.
(a)

Template 5.1 summarises the total adjustments which need to be made to the different components of own funds (reported in CA1 in accordance with the final provisions) as a consequence of the application of the transitional provisions. The elements of this template are presented as adjustments to the different capital components in CA1, in order to reflect in own funds components the effects of the transitional provisions.

(b)

Template 5.2 provides further details on the calculation of those grandfathered instruments which do not constitute state aid.

17. Institutions shall report in the first four columns the adjustments to Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Additional Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital as well as the amount to be treated as risk weighted assets. Institutions are also required to report the applicable percentage in column 050 and the eligible amount without the recognition of transitional provisions in column 060. U.K.
18. Institutions shall only report elements in CA5 during the period where transitional provisions laid down in Part Ten CRR apply. U.K.
19. Some of the transitional provisions require a deduction from Tier 1. If this is the case the residual amount of a deduction or deductions is applied to Tier 1 and there is insufficient AT1 to absorb this amount then the excess shall be deducted from CET1. U.K.
1.6.2. C 05.01 – TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS (CA5.1) U.K.
20. Institutions shall report in CA5.1 template the transitional provisions to own funds components as laid down in Articles 465 to 491 CRR, compared to applying the final provisions laid down in Title II of Part Two CRR. U.K.
21. Institutions shall report in rows 020 to 060 information about the transitional provisions of grandfathered instruments. The figures to be reported in columns 010 to 030 of row 060 of CA5.1 can be derived from the respective sections of CA5.2. U.K.
22. Institutions shall report in rows 070 to 092 information about the transitional provisions of minority interests and additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments issued by subsidiaries (in accordance with Articles 479 and 480 CRR). U.K.
23. In rows 100 onwards institutions shall report information about the transitional provisions of unrealised gains and losses, deductions as well as additional filters and deductions. U.K.
24. There might be cases where the transitional deductions of CET1, AT1 or T2 capital exceed the CET1, AT1 or T2 capital of an institution. That effect – if it results from transitional provisions – shall be shown in the CA1 template using the respective cells. As a consequence, the adjustments in the columns of the CA5 template shall not include any spill-over effects in the case of insufficient capital available. U.K.

Adjustments included in RWAs

Column 040 includes the relevant amounts adjusting the total risk exposure amount of Article 92(3) CRR due to transitional provisions. The amounts reported shall consider the application of provisions of Chapter 2 or 3 of Title II of Part Three or of Title IV of Part Three in accordance with Article 92(4) CRR. That means that transitional amounts subject to Chapter 2 or 3 of Title II of Part Three shall be reported as risk weighted exposure amounts, whereas transitional amounts subject to Title IV of Part Three shall represent the own funds requirements multiplied by 12,5 .

Whereas columns 010 to 030 have a direct link to the CA1 template, the adjustments to the total risk exposure amount do not have a direct link to the relevant templates for credit risk. If there are adjustments stemming from the transitional provisions to the total risk exposure amount, those adjustments shall be included directly in the CR SA, CR IRB, CR EQU IRB, MKR SA TDI, MKR SA EQU or MKR IM. Additionally, those effects shall be reported in column 040 of CA5.1. As a consequence, those amounts shall be memorandum items only.

Eligible amount without transitional provisions

Column 060 includes the amount of each instrument prior the application of transitional provisions, i.e. the basis amount relevant to calculate the adjustments.
