Grandfathering

Yes, the excess over the Tier 1 grandfathering limit could still be eligible as grandfathered Tier 2, subject to the applicable limit but only until the date of effective maturity of the instrument. Tier 1 instruments with an incentive to redeem and call date in the future are grandfathered under either Article 489(3) or (5) of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 (CRR), depending on whether the instrument will fully meet the conditions of Article 52 after its effective maturity date.  Under both Article 489(3) and (5) of the CRR, recognition of the instrument in AT1 is reduced in accordance with Article 484(4) from the limit specified in Article 486(3) until the date of its effective maturity.   All instruments eligible for the provisions of Article 484(4) of the CRR, including those with an incentive to redeem, are also eligible for the application of Article 487(2) until the date of the instrument's effective maturity.
