The rule in plain words
Instruments issued before 27 June 2019 that do not meet the eligibility criteria related to write-down and conversion powers pursuant to Art cannot be less than instruments without legally or contractually mandatory write-down or conversion upon exercise of powers in accordance with Article.
EBA checks it for two columns: adjustments to AT1 and adjustments to T2. That makes two checks. A failure names the one that failed.
The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.
Adjustments to T2: Instruments issued before 27 June 2019 that do not meet the eligibility criteria related to write-down and conversion powers pursuant to Art >= of which: Instruments without legally or contractually mandatory write-down or conversion upon exercise of powers in accordance with Article
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 05.01 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Instruments without legally or contractually mandatory write-down or conversion upon exercise of powers in accordance with Article can then be at most 1,200.
A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
