For the purposes of the calculation of a levy contribution for this Category A1a, a Credit Institution Group shall be defined as:An ELG Scheme Institution together with each of its subsidiaries that are credit institutions authorised under Irish legislation

‘Impact Category’ is as recorded for the regulated entity in the Central Bank’s Probability Risk and Impact System (PRISM) as at 31 December 2015. It reflects the Central Bank’s assessment of the potential impact of the failure of a regulated entity on financial stability and consumers.

Subject to the following wording which shall apply to each member of a Credit Institution Group, each credit institution within category A1a shall be liable to pay the levy contribution corresponding to its impact category.

However, where a credit institution is a member of a Credit Institution Group, the Credit Institution Group shall transfer the levy amount applicable to the Ultra High Category to the Central Bank on behalf of all its constituent members, with the proportion of the Credit Institution Group Levy for which an individual constituent member is liable being calculated according to the following formula

A = B/C * D

Where

A = proportion of the Credit Institution Group Levy for which the individual constituent member is liable; and

B = levy amount which the individual constituent member would be obliged to pay if it were not being assessed as part of a Credit Institution Group; and

C = total sum of B for all individual constituent members of the Credit Institution Group; and

D = Credit Institution Group Levy (i.e. the Ultra High impact category levy).

For example, in the case of a notional Credit Institution Group with three constituent members, each one of which falls within the ‘High’ impact category, the total levy payable by the Credit Institution Group will be €9,979,995 (the ‘Ultra High’ impact category levy) and each individual constituent member’s proportion of this levy liability is

€4,528,422 / (€4,528,422*3) * €9,979,995 = €3,326,665

of the calculation of a levy contribution an Insurance Undertaking Group shall be defined as:A group of entities comprised of an entity that comes within categories B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 or B7 and either

(a) has one or more associated companies that comes within catergories B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 or B7;or

(b) is a subsidiary of an insurance holding company, a third-country insurance undertaking or a third country reinsurance undertaking, a mixed financial holding company or a mixed activity insurance holding company (as defined in the European Union (Insurance and Reinsurance) Regulations 2015)

‘Impact Category’ is as recorded for the regulated entity in the Central Bank’s Probability Risk and Impact System (PRISM) as at 31 December 2015. It reflects the Central Bank’s assessment of the potential impact of the failure of a regulated entity on financial stability and consumers.

An Insurance Undertaking within category B shall be liable to pay the levy contribution corresponding to its impact category. However, where an Insurance Undertaking is a member of an Insurance Undertaking Group, and where the Central Bank has objectively determined by reference to PRISM and the resources the Central Bank expends on supervising the members of such an Insurance Undertaking Group, that it is necessary that such Insurance Undertaking Group shall pay the levy amount applicable to the Ultra High impact category or the High Impact Category (and where the Central Bank has notified each member of such Insurance Undertaking Group of this determination in writing), the Insurance Undertaking Group shall transfer the levy amount applicable to the Ultra High impact category or the High Impact Category to the Central Bank on behalf of all its constituent members with the proportion of the Insurance Undertaking Group Levy for which an individual constituent member is liable being calculated according to the following formula

A = B/C * D

Where

A = proportion of the Insurance Undertaking Group Levy for which the individual constituent member is liable; and

B = levy amount which the individual constituent member would be obliged to pay if it were not being assessed as part of an Insurance Undertaking Group; and

C = total sum of B for all individual constituent members of the Insurance Undertaking Group; and

D = Insurance Undertaking Group Levy.

For example, in the case of a notional Insurance Undertaking Group with three constituent members, each one of which fall within the ‘High’ impact category, the total levy payable by an Ultra High Insurance Undertaking Group will be €1,768,321 (the ‘Ultra High’ impact category levy) and each individual constituent member’s proportion of this levy liability is

€802,375 / (€802,375*3) * €1,768,321 = €589,440

Where an Insurance Undertaking is a member of an Insurance Undertaking Group, but does not receive written notification from the Central Bank that such Insurance Undertaking Group shall transfer the levy amount applicable to the Ultra high impact category or the High impact category to the Central Bank on behalf of all its constituent members, such Insurance Undertaking shall be liable to pay the levy contribution corresponding to its impact category.
