Not in every listWhat this means

Found in the text, but not every source lists it — the text comparison found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it and the amending act's instructions do not mention it. Only the text comparison found it. All are shown; none is overruled.

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

The only textual difference is in paragraph 1's third subparagraph, where the phrase describing the margin the competent authority considers necessary changes from being introduced with "by" to being joined with "and" after the reference to Directives 2013/36/EU and 2014/59/EU.

Version in force , Modified

Amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/876 32019R0876 on EUR-Lex (external, EUR-Lex)

Applies from: no date changed

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

The heading changes from "Supervisory permission for reducing own funds" to "Supervisory permission to reduce own funds", and paragraph 1 is expanded to cover reducing, calling, redeeming, repaying or repurchasing instruments, and now also to reducing, distributing or reclassifying related share premium accounts, with the margin test in point (b) referring to own funds and eligible liabilities exceeding requirements under this Regulation and Directives 2013/36/EU and 2014/59/EU rather than the prior wording tied to Article 92(1) and the combined buffer requirement.

Paragraph 1 gains new subparagraphs allowing a general prior permission for future actions under Article 77(1), subject to time limits, predetermined percentage caps, and withdrawal by competent authorities if criteria are breached, none of which appeared before.

Paragraph 4 broadens the range of covered actions and adds new grounds (c) grandfathering under Article 494b, (d) replacement of instruments justified by exceptional circumstances, and (e) repurchase for market making purposes, while paragraph 5(c) is reworded to also address limits and procedures for advance approval by competent authorities.
