The MREL reporting templates can be found in Appendix 1 of PS9/26 – Resolution Planning: Amendments to MREL reporting templates.

Taxonomy

The MREL reporting taxonomy can be found on the Banks, building societies and investment firms page.

Abbreviations and definitions

  • ‘MREL’ means the requirement for the institution reported on to maintain a minimum amount of own funds and eligible liabilities, as directed by the Bank when exercising its powers of direction under section 3A(4) and/or (4B) of the Banking Act 2009.
  • ‘Material subsidiary’ has the same meaning as in the MREL SoP paragraph 7.3.

Reporting notes

  • For instances where a data element is not applicable, unless otherwise stated, institutions should enter ‘Not Applicable’.
  • All instruments and their values should be reflected as at the reporting reference date.
  • The value ‘0’ shall be interpreted as an instrument of which the value equals zero, unless otherwise indicated.
  • All amounts should be reported in absolute full amounts. Do not enter abbreviated values in thousands or other values.
  • In addition to the nominal value, each eligible liabilities instrument intended to count towards MREL resources should also be measured at its full accounting value, in accordance with the MREL SoP paragraph 4.13.

MRL001: MREL Resources

Scope of instruments

Information on the amount and maturity profiles of, in aggregate:

  1. all own funds instruments that qualify to count towards MREL;
  2. MREL eligible liabilities instruments; and
  3. certain own funds and other liabilities that do not qualify to count towards MREL, not including excluded liabilities.footnote [1]

Instructions

Table A: MRL001 rows

Rows

Explanation

Own funds and eligible liabilities

005

AT1 capital instruments that qualify to count towards MREL

AT1 capital instruments that meet the MREL eligibility criteria as set out in the MREL SoP and qualify to count towards MREL in accordance with the MREL SoP.

030

Tier 2 capital instruments that qualify to count towards MREL

Tier 2 capital instruments that meet the MREL eligibility criteria as set out in the MREL SoP and qualify to count towards MREL in accordance with the MREL SoP. For the breakdown across the maturity profile buckets, please adhere to the following:

  • Where the residual maturity of a Tier 2 capital instrument is at least one year (and provided that the instrument qualifies for MREL), in accordance with the MREL SoP Annex 1 paragraph 6b, the full amount may contribute to MREL resources, even if the instrument is partially derecognised in regulatory capital via the requirement to amortise the instrument in the five years before maturity. The full (total) amount should therefore be reported in this template across the relevant maturity profile buckets.
  • ‘Less than one year’ - In accordance with the MREL SoP Annex 1 paragraph 6b, once a Tier 2 capital instrument has reached a residual maturity of less than one year and provided not rendered ineligible to meet MREL by any other provision of the MREL SoP including Annex 1, only the residual amortising Tier 2 capital may contribute to MREL resources and should be reported under the maturity profile ‘less than one year’.

050

MREL contractually or statutorily subordinated eligible liabilities (senior non-preferred)

MREL eligible liabilities issued by the institution that are senior to Tier 2 capital and contractually or statutorily junior to senior unsecured liabilities of the institution. In accordance with the MREL SoP Annex 1 paragraph 6a, MREL eligible liabilities must have a remaining residual maturity of at least one year.

060

MREL senior unsecured eligible liabilities (holding company issued senior)

MREL eligible liabilities issued by the institution, that are not own funds and that are not contractually or statutorily subordinated to senior liabilities of the institution. In accordance with the MREL SoP Annex 1 paragraph 6a, MREL eligible liabilities must have a remaining residual maturity of at least one year.

070

Liabilities that do not qualify for MREL but which rank pari passu with any MREL resources

Liabilities that do not qualify to count towards MREL due to not meeting all of the applicable criteria set out in the MREL SoP including Annex 1, but which rank pari passu with any MREL resources. The amount reported should exclude liabilities with a residual maturity of less than one year that previously qualified to count towards MREL in accordance with the MREL SoP.

073

Liabilities that do not qualify for external MREL, calculated as a proportion of external MREL resources where the ratio exceeds 2.5%

In accordance with the MREL SoP paragraph 6.3, the sum of an institution’s liabilities that do not qualify as external MREL (excluding liabilities with a residual maturity of less than one year that previously qualified to count towards MREL) should not exceed 5% of the institution’s overall external MREL resources. Should this ratio exceed 2.5%, the figure should be reported in this row. If this ratio is below 2.5%, then please enter a value of 0.

075

Liabilities that do not qualify for internal MREL, calculated as a proportion of internal MREL resources where the ratio exceeds 2.5%

In accordance with the MREL SoP paragraph 8.3, an institution may issue internal MREL instruments as senior liabilities, provided that the sum of all liabilities that do not qualify as internal MREL (excluding liabilities with a residual maturity of less than one year that previously qualified to count towards MREL) does not exceed 5% of the institution’s overall internal MREL resources. Should this ratio exceed 2.5%, the figure should be reported in this row. If this ratio is below 2.5%, then please enter a value of 0.

077

For any creditor class, does the ratio of liabilities that do not qualify for external MREL, calculated as a proportion of external MREL resources in the same creditor class, exceed 10%?

In accordance with the MREL SoP paragraph 6.3, the sum of an institution’s liabilities that do not qualify as external MREL in each creditor class in the insolvency creditor hierarchy (excluding liabilities with a residual maturity of less than one year that previously qualified to count towards MREL) should not exceed 10% of the institution’s overall external MREL resources in the same creditor class. If this amount is greater than 10% for one or more of each of the creditor classes, please select ‘Yes, greater than 10%’. If this amount is equal to or less than 10% for each of the creditor classes, please select ‘No, all creditor classes equal to or less than 10%.

Stylised example:

A comparison diagram showing whether any creditor class exceeds a 10% ratio. Example 1 shows Class A at 0%, Class B at 2%, Class C at 1%, and Class D at 0%. A decision box asks whether any class exceeds 10%, and the outcome shown is: “No, all creditor classes equal to or less than 10%.” Example 2 shows Class A at 0%, Class B at 2%, Class C at 11%, and Class D at 4%, with the outcome: “Yes, greater than 10%.” The diagram illustrates how to determine if at least one creditor class surpasses the 10% threshold.

079

For any creditor class, does the ratio of liabilities that do not qualify for internal MREL, calculated as a proportion of internal MREL resources in the same creditor class, exceed 10%?

If this amount is greater than 10% for one or more of each of the creditor classes, please select ‘Yes, greater than 10%’. If this amount is equal to or less than 10% for each of the creditor classes, please select ‘No, all creditor classes equal to or less than 10%’.

Unique Identifier

An International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) uniquely identifies a security. Its structure is defined in ISO 6166.

If an ISIN is not available, please provide the relevant unique identifier. An example may be the Market Identifier Code (ISO 10382), CUSIP (Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures) a nine-character alphanumeric code mainly used for US and Canadian securities, SEDOL (Stock Exchange Daily Official List) security identifiers used in UK and Ireland for clearing purposes. These are assigned by the London Stock Exchange.

For debt securities which have been issued to US investors under a dual Regulation S and Rule 144A offering, please provide the ISIN and CUSIP associated to the unrestricted and restricted portions of the offering, populating in row 480 the relevant basis for compliance with US securities laws, alongside rows 430 and 440.
