NORM ON REFORMING ARTICLE 5 AND ANNEXES 1, 6A1, AND 6A2 AND ADDING ANNEXES 6A3, 6A4, 6A5, AND 7 OF THE NORM ON CAPITAL ADEQUACY

FIRST: Article 5 of the Norm on Capital Adequacy, contained in Resolution No. CD-SIBOIF-651-1-OCTU27-2010, of October 27, 2010,

published in La Gaceta, Official Journal No. 18, of January 28, 2011, shall be read as follows:

Art. 5 Deductions. The following items shall be deducted from the Capital Adequacy calculation:

a) The following shall be deducted from the sum of primary capital components:

1. The book value of goodwill acquired from a business combination, derived from mergers or acquisitions of institutions.

2. Accumulated results of previous periods in case of losses.

3. Non-capitalizable donations that have conditions for repayment.

4. Other Net Assets subject to Amortization: Taxes paid in advance, other expenses paid in advance, balance of the deferred income tax account less transition adjustment, improvements to properties received under lease, software, other intangible assets, and stationery, supplies, and other materials. These accounts shall not be counted within the risk-weighted assets either. All these assets are net of amortization, depreciation, and impairment.

b) The following shall be deducted from the sum of secondary capital components:

1. Current Period Results, in case of losses.

2. The negative balance of the Other Comprehensive Income account.

3. The amount of the gain from the sale of non-financial assets with financing (sale value minus cash premium minus book value), plus the amount for revaluations of those assets, recorded before the sale as a transition adjustment to January 1, 2018, and adjustment for revaluation of Other Comprehensive Income. Once the cost value of the non-financial asset has been fully recovered, the aforementioned gain from sale and revaluation shall cease to be deducted from secondary capital.

4. The balance of the subaccounts Undistributable Exercise Result and Undistributable Accumulated Results of Previous Exercises.

5. The amount of the gain (fair value minus book value) from the transfer of Assets Received in Credit Recovery to Property, Plant, and Equipment.

c) The following shall be deducted from the Capital Calculation Base:

1. Any pending adjustments to be constituted;

2. The book value of holdings in equity instruments issued by subsidiaries and associates. Similarly, holdings in joint ventures shall be deducted. These investments shall not be counted in the computation of risk assets contained in Article 6 of this norm.

Equity instruments, for the purposes of applying this item, are understood to be any of the following: common or ordinary shares, preferred shares, other titles of participation in the capital of the issuing entity, and subordinated debt instruments.

SECOND: Annexes 1, 6A1, and 6A2 are modified and Annexes 6A3, 6A4, 6A5, and 7 are added to the Norm on Capital Adequacy, in order to adjust them to these provisions, which are attached to this resolution. This is without prejudice to the authority conferred upon the Superintendent in Article 9 of said Norm.

THIRD: Financial institutions shall have 60 days counted from the entry into force of this norm to adapt their accounting, control, computer, and other necessary systems to apply prospectively the gain from the sale of non-financial assets with financing, the gain from the transfer of assets received in credit recovery to property, plant, and equipment, and the gain from business combinations. Therefore, the capital adequacy as of the last day of the month in which the aforementioned period ends must consider the changes contained in this norm.

FOURTH: This norm shall enter into force upon its notification, without prejudice to its subsequent publication in La Gaceta, Official Journal.
