Place in the sequence of write down for an istrument that does not qualify as part of own funds
- Question
-
Where does an instrument that qualified as original own funds under the national transposition measure for point (ca) of Article 57 of Directive 2006/48/EC but does not qualify as Additional Tier 1 according to Article 489(4) fit in the sequence of write down and conversion from Article 48 of Directive 2014/59/EU? Will 48(1)(b), 48(1)(c) or 48(1)(d) be applicable to such an instrument?
- Background on the question
-
A number of hybrid Tier 1 instruments no longer form part of own funds following introduction of the regulation (EU) No 575/2013. Directive 2014/59/EU links write down sequence to the regulatory treatment of an instrument which might require further clarification in case a subordinated instrument does not have regulatory recognition.
