AI Summary of Article 64 Amortisation of Tier 2 instruments

The provisions regarding Tier 2 instruments with a residual maturity exceeding five years stipulate that the entire amount shall be recognised as Tier 2 items. During the last five years before maturity, the qualification of these instruments is subject to a specific calculation.

This calculation involves determining the carrying amount on the first day of the final five-year period, divided by the total number of days in that timeframe. This result is subsequently multiplied by the number of remaining days until the contractual maturity of the instruments, thereby establishing their qualification status as Tier 2 items.
