No: 341000015689 Date(g): 19/12/2012 | Date(h): 6/2/1434 Status: In-Force

This Annex illustrates the treatment of minority interest and other capital issued out of subsidiaries to third parties, which is set out in paragraphs 62 to 64.

Illustrative example

A banking group consists of two legal entities that are both banks. Bank P is the parent and Bank S is the subsidiary and their unconsolidated balance sheets are set out below. 

Bank P balance sheet Bank S balance sheet 
Assets Assets 
Loans to customers100Loans to customers150
Investment in CET1 of Bank S7  
Investment in the AT1 of Bank S4  
Investment in the T2 of Bank S2  
Liabilities and equity Liabilities and equity 
Depositors70Depositors127
Tier 210Tier 28
Additional Tier 17Additional Tier 15
Common equity26Common equity10
 

The balance sheet of Bank P shows that in addition to its loans to customers, it owns 70% of the common shares of Bank S, 80% of the Additional Tier 1 of Bank S and 25% of the Tier 2 capital of Bank S. The ownership of the capital of Bank S is therefore as follows:

Capital issued by Bank S
 Amount issued to parent (Bank P)Amount issued to third partiesTotal
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1)7310
Additional Tier 1 (AT1)415
Tier 1 (T1)11415
Tier 2 (T2)268
Total capital (TC)131023
 

The consolidated balance sheet of the banking group is set out below:

Consolidated balance sheet 
Assets 
Loans to customers250
Liabilities and equity 
Depositors197
Tier 2 issued by subsidiary to third parties6
Tier 2 issued by parent10
Additional Tier 1 issued by subsidiary to third parties1
Additional Tier 1 issued by parent7
Common equity issued by subsidiary to third parties (ie minority interest)3
Common equity issued by parent26
 

For illustrative purposes Bank S is assumed to have risk weighted assets of 100. In this example, the minimum capital requirements of Bank S and the subsidiary’s contribution to the consolidated requirements are the same since Bank S does not have any loans to Bank P. This means that it is subject to the following minimum plus capital conservation buffer requirements and has the following surplus capital:

Minimum and surplus capital of Bank S
 Minimum plus capital conservation bufferSurplus
CET17.0 
(= 7.0% of 100)
3.0 
(=10 – 7.0)
T18.5 
(= 8.5% of 100)
6.5 
(=10 + 5 – 8.5)
TC10.5 
(= 10.5% of 100)
12.5 
(=10 + 5 + 8 – 10.5)
 

The following table illustrates how to calculate the amount of capital issued by Bank S to include in consolidated capital, following the calculation procedure set out in paragraphs 62 to 65:

Bank S: amount of capital issued to third parties included in consolidated capital
 Total amount issuedAmount issued t third partiesSurplusSurplus attributable to third parties (ie amount excluded from Consolidated capital)Amount included in consolidated capital
 (a)(b)(c)(d) =(c) * (b)/(a)(e) = (b) – (d)

T11546.51.732.27
TC231012.55.434.57
 

The following table summarizes the components of capital for the consolidated group based on the amounts calculated in the table above. Additional Tier 1 is calculated as the difference between Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 and Tier 2 is the difference between Total Capital and Tier 1.
