Banco Comercial Português, S.A. informs on notification by Banco de Portugal of its MREL requirements

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. ("BCP" or the "Bank") informs that it has been notified by Banco de Portugal, as the national resolution authority, about the establishment of its minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities ("MREL" or "Minimum Requirement for own funds and Eligible Liabilities") as decided by the Single Resolution Board.

The resolution strategy applied continues to be that of a multiple point of entry ("MPE"). The MREL requirements to be met by BCP Group of Resolution (consisting of BCP, S.A., Banco ActivoBank, S.A. and all the subsidiary companies of BCP apart from Bank Millennium S.A. and Banco Internacional de Moçambique and their respective subsidiaries), from 1 January 2024 is of:

  • 23.81% of the total risk exposure amount ("TREA") (to which adds further a combined buffer requirement ("CBR") of 3.5%, thus corresponding to total requirements of 27.31%); and
  • 6.92% of the leverage ratio exposure measure ("LRE").

Until the date mentioned before, BCP should comply with an interim requirement of:

  • 18.09% of TREA (to which adds a further 3.25% CBR requirement, thus corresponding to a total requirement of 21.34%); and
  • 6.92% of the LRE.

No subordination requirements have been applied to the Bank.

In accordance with the regulations in force, MREL requirements must be updated or reconfirmed annually, and therefore these targets replace those previously set.

The MREL requirements, now communicated to the BCP resolution group described above, are in line with the 2021-24 Strategic Plan and are accommodated by the ongoing funding plan. As of January 1, 2022, BCP complied to the intermediate MREL requirement set for that date, both as a percentage of the TREA (also including the applicable CBR) and as a percentage of the LRE.
