Determination of the actual treatment of shareholders and creditors in resolution
Article 5
1. The valuer shall identify all claims outstanding after the write-down or conversion of capital instruments and the application of any resolution actions, and shall assign those claims to the legal and natural persons who were the entity's shareholders and creditors at the resolution decision date. Except where the legal and natural persons who were the entity's shareholders and creditors at the resolution decision date receive cash compensation as a result of the resolution, the valuer shall determine their actual treatment in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 4. 2. Where the legal and natural persons who were the entity's shareholders and creditors at the resolution decision date receive equity compensation as a result of the resolution, the valuer shall determine their actual treatment by providing an estimate of the overall value of shares transferred or issued as consideration to the holders of converted capital instruments or to the bailed-in creditors. That estimate may be based on the assessed market price resulting from generally accepted valuation methodologies. 3. Where the legal and natural persons who were the entity's shareholders and creditors at the resolution decision date receive debt compensation as a result of resolution, the valuer shall determine the actual treatment by taking into account factors such as the changes in contractual cash flows that result from the write-down or conversion, or the application of other resolution actions, as well as the relevant discount rate. 4. For any outstanding claim, the valuer may take into account, where available and together with the factors described in paragraphs 2 and 3, prices observed in active markets for the same or similar instruments issued by the entity under resolution or other similar entities.
