Appendix 4: Minority Interest Illustrative Example

C 52/2017 STA Effective from 1/4/2021

This Appendix illustrates the treatment of minority interest and other capital issued out of subsidiaries to third parties, which is set out in section 2.7 of the Tier Capital Supply Standard (Paragraph 35 to 41).

A banking group consists of two legal entities that are both banks. Bank P is the parent, Bank S is the subsidiary, and their unconsolidated balance sheets are set out below

Additional Tier1 (AT1)7Additional Tier1 (AT1)5
Tier 210Tier 28
Total Liabilities and Equities113Total Liabilities and Equities150

 

The balance sheet of Bank P shows that in addition to its loans to customers, it owns 70% of the common shares of Bank S, 80% of the Additional Tier 1 of Bank S and 25% of the Tier 2 capital of Bank S. The ownership of the capital of Bank S is therefore as follows:

Capital issued by Bank S
 Amount Issued to ParentAmount Issued to third partyTotal
Common Equity (CET1)7310
Additional Tier1 (AT1)415
Tier 111415
Tier 2268
Total Capital (TC)131023

 

The consolidated balance sheet of the banking group is set out below:

Tier 26
Liabilities and Equities250

 

For illustrative purposes, Bank S is assumed to have risk-weighted assets of 100. In this example, the minimum capital requirements of Bank S and the subsidiary’s contribution to the consolidated requirements are the same since Bank S does not have any loans to Bank P. This means that it is subject to the following minimum plus capital conservation buffer requirements and has the following surplus capital:

Minimum and surplus capital of Bank S
CapitalMinimum plus Capital conservation BufferSurplus
CET1(7% + 2.5%) of 100 = 9.50.50
(10- 9.5 )
T1(8.5%+ 2.5%) of 100 = 114.00
(10+5-11)
TC(10.5% +2.5%) of 100 = 1310
(10+5+8 -13)

 

The following table illustrates how to calculate the amount of capital issued by Bank S to include in consolidated capital, following the calculation procedure set out in paragraphs 35 to 41 of the Tier Capital Supply Standards.

Bank S: amount of capital issued to third parties included in the consolidated capital.

The following table summarizes the components of capital for the consolidated group based on the amounts calculated in the table above. Additional Tier 1 is calculated as the difference between Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 and Tier 2 is the difference between Total Capital and Tier 1.
