GENPRU 2.2.83FR01/01/2014

10A building society must not issue a capital instrument that includes a coupon limit in its terms of issue in accordance with GENPRU 2.2.83E R unless it has notified the PRA of its intention to do so at least one month before the intended date of issue.

GENPRU 2.2.83HG01/01/2014

10The purpose of GENPRU 2.2.83ER (6) is to limit the potential preferential rights that may arise on capital instruments that are not subject to a coupon limit. The PRA considers that "preferential" refers to both priority of coupon payment and level of coupon payment. Therefore the PRA considers that:(1) a coupon arising on a capital instrument which is not subject to an explicit coupon limit within its terms of issue is likely to be preferential to a coupon on a capital instrument

Outsourcing arrangements

1Outsourcing arrangements	Explanation	Submitting form
Firm A to firm B	The FCA will consider A to have taken reasonable care if it enters into a contract with B under which B is responsible for ensuring that the relevant FCA-designated senior management functions are performed by FCA-approved SMF managers, and that it is reasonable for A to rely on this.	Firm B submits FCA-approved persons forms on behalf of firm A.
Outsourcing by A to B (both being a member of the same United Kingdom group and each having its registered office in the United Kingdom)	See SUP 10C.3.9G	Either A or B may submit FCA-approved persons forms on behalf of firms in the group (see SUP 15.7.8G).

Responsibility for (as opposed to the performance of) any activity outsourced to B will remain with A. See SYSC 8.	A ensures that an individual approved by the FCA or the PRA to perform a designated senior management function has responsibility for the outsourced arrangement and A submits a form in relation to that individual.
