ANNEX Calculation methodology for Method 2 pursuant to Annex 2 (Table 2) of the Financial Conglomerates Part of the PRA Rulebook and Annex 1R (Table 2) of Chapter 3 of the FCA General Prudential sourcebook

The calculation of supplementary capital adequacy requirements under method 2 shall be carried out on the basis of the applicable accounting framework of each of the entities in the group following the formulaic expression below:

FICOD_2014_342_Annex_inline_1_formula FICOD_2014_342_Annex_inline_2_formula

where own funds (OFi) exclude intra-group capital instruments that are eligible as own funds in accordance with sectoral rules.

The supplementary capital adequacy requirements (scar) shall thus be calculated as the difference between:

the sum of the own funds (OFi) of each regulated and non-regulated financial sector entity (i) in the financial conglomerate; the elements eligible are those which qualify in accordance with the relevant sectoral rules; and

the sum of the solvency requirements (REQi) for each regulated and non-regulated financial sector entity (i) in the group (G); the solvency requirements shall be calculated in accordance with the relevant sectoral rules; and the book value (BVj) of the participations in other entities (j) of the group.

In the case of non-regulated financial sector entities, a notional solvency requirement shall be calculated in accordance with Article 12. Own funds and solvency requirements shall be taken into account for their proportional share (x) as provided for in the UK legislation implementing Article 6(4) of Directive 2002/87/EC.

The difference shall not be negative.
