Title IV — Disclosure and notification

Relevant authorities should publish an outline of the methodology for the supervisory assessment applied during the identification process, including optional indicators, if any, and for setting the buffer requirement. If they make use of the option to raise or lower the threshold mentioned in paragraph 9, relevant authorities should specify the reasons for this amendment and define the specificities of the Member State’s banking sector and the resulting statistical distribution of the scores on which this decision is based.

Relevant authorities should publish the scores of relevant entities designated as O-SIIs by 1 December of each year. This indicates which banks score above the threshold and are therefore automatically designated as O-SIIs. If applicable, relevant authorities should also publish the buffer requirements that are applied to the different O-SIIs.

When a relevant entity with a score of less than the threshold chosen pursuant to paragraph 9 is designated as an O-SII, relevant authorities should publish, for each bank, a brief statement with the following motivation:

• (a) which optional indicator(s) are used to inform the designation as O-SII;
• (b) why this indicator is relevant in the Member State;
• (c) why the bank is systemically important in terms of the particular indicator(s).

Relevant authorities should notify to the EBA the names and scores of all relevant entities that are not excluded pursuant to paragraph 10, and the indicator values for institutions subject to supervisory judgment.
