ANNEX

11.1. Acquisitions by financial entities.
For the purposes of determining Regulatory Capital (RPC) on a consolidated basis, the consolidating entity may add the amount recorded in the specific item under Liability Provisions.
11.2. Merger of financial entities.
For the purposes of determining RPC, the amount corresponding to negative goodwill recorded in the specific item under Liability Provisions may be added.
11.3. For the purposes of determining RPC, as of 01/02/13, equity instruments that cease to meet the criteria to be considered Additional Tier 1 Capital (CAn1) or Complementary Equity (PNc) in accordance with Section 8 will begin to be excluded.
For these purposes, while they maintain the conditions under which their inclusion in RPC was duly admitted, the amount resulting from applying to the accounting values of the instruments at the end of each month the methodology in force on that date will be computed. Their recognition as RPC shall be limited to 90% of the value thus obtained from that date, with said limit decreasing by 10 percentage points every twelve months. This limit shall be applied separately to each instrument –whether computed in CAn1 or PNc–.
11.4. For the purposes of determining RPC, financial entities may compute as Ordinary Tier 1 Capital (COn1) the positive difference between the new accounting provision computed according to point 5.5 of IFRS 9 –taking into account, where applicable, the proration methodology provided in Communication A 6847– and the regulatory provision calculated according to the rules on Minimum Provisions for Credit Risk or the accounting provision corresponding to the balance sheet as of 30/11 of the year prior to the first application of said point of IFRS 9 –the greater of both–.
11.5. For the purposes of determining the minimum capital requirement for credit risk, the amount resulting from applying what is stipulated in Section 2 shall be multiplied by a factor equal to 4 when dealing with financing granted to non-SME clients with agricultural activity that maintain a stockpile of their production at a value exceeding 5% of their annual harvest capacity, as follows:
– Financing agreed from 18/05/2020 to 31/10/24.
– Peso-denominated financing agreed from 01/11/24 to 10/04/26.
11.6. National peso-denominated public bonds with dual-currency yield receive the same treatment as instruments issued in pesos.
