The issuance of the undated deeply subordinated notes (AT1) seeks a more optimised capital structure of the CET1, Tier 1 and Total Capital requirements as set in the CRR2 .
An independent audit firm issued an opinion to confirm that the economic terms of this issue are appropriate to the current market conditions.
If the consolidated or individual CET1 ratio were to fall below 5.125% ("trigger level"), the lossabsorbing mechanism determines the automatic reduction ("write-down") of the undated deeply subordinated notes (AT1) nominal value in an amount sufficient to reinstate the CET1 ratio to that trigger level. The reduction in the nominal amount of the undated deeply subordinated notes (AT1) may be reversed ("write-up") at the discretion of the issuer provided that the requirements of applicable laws and regulation are met so that such reversal may occur.
1) Undated deeply subordinated notes (Additional Tier 1 capital instruments - AT1) that will be issued under Euro Medium Term Note Programme.
2) Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms (Capital Requirements Regulation – CRR).
The issue will have a positive impact on the consolidated Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 1.6 p.p. for Banco BPI, S.A, calculated by reference to 30 June 2019.
