I. CRD IV and CRR scope of consolidation • Highlights of CRD IV + CRR prudential consolidation • CRD IV + CRR are applied on solo (“individual”) and several consolidated bases. • The solo (individual) application is based on the unconsolidated accounts of the legal entity which is licensed as an institution. • Consolidated application starts by consolidating several relevant legal entities within a financial group into a single (hypothetical) consolidated entity, on which the CRD IV + CRR are applied. • On one financial group several levels of consolidation may be applicable. • The levels of consolidation are applied for a number of prudential topics(parts) of CRD IV + CRR framework. • The application of consolidated supervision and the determination of the consolidated situation are dependent on a number of characteristics of the financial group such as: legal relation between the entities, activities/licenses and location of the entity. • Prudential consolidation differs from accounting consolidation on several accounts. • Examples of consolidation scopes • The following figures are examples of applicable scopes of consolidation given characteristics of a banking group. Example of subsidiaries in the scope of consolidation This example below shows several entities included (B,D,E) in the scope of consolidation (blue area) of a relevant parent entity (A). Corporate subsidiaries (C) arenot included. The CRD IV + CRR applies on this consolidated entity (A) as well as solo on those institutions (B,D) which are located in any Member State of the European Economic Area (EEA).

II. Key factors in consolidation • Consolidation levels in the CRD IV + CRR framework • The application of CRD IV requirements on consolidation levels is additional to the application of CRD IV to the unconsolidated legal entity (“solo” = “individual”). However on the solo level, depending on the situation, waiver (CRR.7+8) may be granted. Within a complex banking group each of these levels may be applicable, however for less complex groups, some levels may not be applicable / coincide with other levels. • EU consolidation level • Member State consolidation level • CRR.22 sub-consolidation level • Specific liquidity sub-consolidation level • Inclusion of an entity in the scope of consolidation • An entity which is a subsidiary of a consolidating parent entity has to be included in the scope of consolidation, depending on a number of factors (non-exhaustive list): • Type (activities and licenses) of the parent undertaking • Location of the subsidiary • Type (activities and licenses) of the subsidiary • Size and risk of the subsidiary • Relation between the parent and the subsidiary • It should be noted that the parent undertaking is not necessarily the consolidating entity or itself subject to consolidated supervision.
