ANNEX IIISupplementary provisions
ANNEX III A. First contingent adjustment If the average total value of banknotes in circulation in a cash changeover year is lower than the average total euro value of banknotes in circulation during the reference period (including those denominated in the national currency of the Member State that has adopted the euro and translated into euro at the daily foreign exchange reference rate during the reference period), then the coefficient ‘S’ applying to the cash changeover year in accordance with Article 4(1) is reduced with retroactive effect in the same proportion as the decrease in the total average of banknotes in circulation. The reduction may not result in a coefficient lower than 0,8606735. If this derogation is applied, one quarter of the resulting reduction in the NCBs' compensatory amounts (C) applicable in the cash changeover year must be added to each NCB's compensatory amount applicable in the second to fifth year following the cash changeover year pursuant to Article 4(1). B. Second contingent adjustment If those NCBs for which the compensatory amount referred to in Article 4(1) is a positive figure pay net remuneration on intra-Eurosystem balances on banknotes in circulation that results in a net expense when added to the item ‘net result of pooling of monetary income’ in their profit and loss account at the end of the year, then the coefficient ‘S’ applying to the cash changeover year in accordance with Article 4(1) is reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate this condition. The reduction may not result in a coefficient lower than 0,8606735. If this derogation is applied, one quarter of the resulting reduction in the NCBs' compensatory amounts (C) applicable in the cash changeover year is added to each NCB's compensatory amount applicable in the second to fifth year following the cash changeover year pursuant to Article 4(1).
