Pre-issuance notification

5.1

Own Funds 5.2 provides that, in exceptional circumstances, a firm may provide less than one month’s notice of the intended issue of own fund items. The PRA is unlikely to consider circumstances to be exceptional unless they are such that there is a risk of a firm not complying with its SCR or, as the case may be, MCR if a one-month notification period is observed. In such circumstances, a firm should notify the PRA as soon as it has resolved to issue further items it intends to include as basic own funds, and provide details of its circumstances and why it is not possible to provide one month’s notice of the intended issue.

5.2

Details of the notification to be provided by a firm in relation to items of basic own funds issued by another undertaking in its group for inclusion in its own funds are set out in Group Supervision 6.
