1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Applicable percentage cannot be more than 0.5 (EBA rule v4809_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 05.02, capital adequacy - transitional provisions: grandfathered instruments not constituting State aid.

The rule in plain words

Applicable percentage cannot be more than 0.5.

EBA checks it for three rows: instruments that qualified for Article 57, point (a) of Directive 2006/48/EC, instruments that qualified for Article 57, point (ca) and Article 154(8) and (9) of Directive 2006/48/EC, subject to the limit of Article, and items that qualified for Article 57, points (e), (f), (g) or (h) of Directive 2006/48/EC, subject to the limit of Article 490 of Regulati. That makes three checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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.

Applicable percentage: 1. Instruments that qualified for Article 57, point (a) of Directive 2006/48/EC <= 0.5

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value outside the limit in these cells.
  3. 03If the value is a percentage, EBA expects it as a decimal: 12% is reported as 0.12.
  4. 04EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 05.02 as reported.
  6. 06This 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.

What the rule then expects

Instruments that qualified for Article 57, point (a) of Directive 2006/48/EC, applicable percentage can then be at most 0.5.

0.5Passes
0.6Fails

A file that reports 0.5 passes. One that reports 0.6 fails, by 0.1.

The numbers are illustrative.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{C_05.02,r0010,c0030,} <= 0.5

The next two:

{C_05.02,r0020,c0030,} <= 0.5{C_05.02,r0090,c0030,} <= 0.5

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
