For the calculation of the target level referred to in the first subparagraph, the reference period shall be between 31 December preceding the date by which the target level is to be reached and that date.

When determining whether the DGS has reached the target level referred to in the first subparagraph, Member States shall take into account only the available financial means directly contributed by, or recovered from, members to the DGS, net of administrative fees and charges. Those available financial means shall include investment income derived from funds contributed by members to the DGS and funds recovered by the DGS against its claims deriving from its interventions, but shall exclude repayments not claimed by eligible depositors during payout procedures and any debt liabilities due by the DGS.

Where the target level referred to in the first subparagraph has been reached for the first time and the available financial means have been reduced by less than one third of the target level, a DGS shall set the regular contribution at a level allowing for the target level to be reached within two years. A DGS may extend that period by one further year to ensure that the amount to be collected reaches an amount that is proportionate to the costs of collecting the contributions.

The regular contribution shall take due account of the phase of the business cycle, and the impact procyclical contributions may have when setting annual contributions in the context of this Article.

Member States may extend the initial period referred to in the first subparagraph for a maximum of four years if the DGS has made cumulative disbursements in excess of 0,8 % of covered deposits.’;

Alternative funding arrangements financed through public funds shall only be used for the repayment under Article 8(1) and for the measures referred to in Article 11(2) as a last resort and shall be provided in the form of loans or guarantees. Alternative funding arrangements from public sources shall only be provided under the condition that the DGS makes the legal commitment to repay alternative funding arrangements financed or guaranteed through public funds and the agreed interest and fees within six years.

In extraordinary circumstances, where, in light of disbursements and recoveries during the repayment period, the competent authority assesses that the repayment could overburden the financing capacities of the remaining member institutions, the repayment period may be extended once by up to three years.’;

(g) paragraph 10 is deleted;

(h) the following paragraphs are added:

‘11. In the context of the measures referred to in Article 11(1), (2), (3) and (5), Member States may allow DGSs to use the funds originating from the alternative funding arrangements referred to in Article 10(9) which are not financed or guaranteed through public funds before using the available financial means and before collecting the extraordinary contributions referred to in Article 10(8).

Article 11b

Requirements for preventive measures

1. Member States shall ensure that credit institutions which request a DGS to finance preventive measures pursuant to Article 11(3) present to the competent authority a note setting out the measures that those credit institutions commit to undertake in order to secure compliance with the applicable supervisory requirements in accordance with Directive 2013/36/EU and Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

2. The note referred to in paragraph 1 shall set out actions to mitigate the risk of deterioration of the financial soundness of the credit institution and strengthen its capital and liquidity positions.

3. Where the financial means of a DGS are used for preventive measures pursuant to Article 11(3) of this Directive, such use shall be considered as a change of the financial situation of the credit institution and an update of the recovery plan shall be required pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU.

4. Member States shall ensure that in the event of capital support measures, including recapitalisations, asset impairment measures and asset guarantees, the available financial means of a DGS cover only the capital shortfall as currently estimated on the basis of the following elements:

(a) the capital shortfall identified in a Union or national stress test, asset quality review or equivalent exercise, or during the supervisory review and evaluation process, on-site inspections or temporary administration, or by an independent valuer;

(b) capital-raising measures to be implemented within six months of submission of the business reorganisation plan;

(c) safeguards preventing outflows of funds, including the measures referred to in paragraph 7.

The elements referred to in the first subparagraph, points (a) to (c), shall be included in the note referred to in paragraph 1.

When determining the amount of capital support to be provided by the DGS, the DGS may also take into account any forward-looking capital adequacy assessment, including the capital conservation plan referred to in Article 142 of Directive 2013/36/EU.

The DGS shall notify the competent authority of the amount of capital support to be provided.

5. Member States shall ensure that DGSs transfer their holdings of shares or other capital instruments in the supported credit institution as soon as commercial and financial circumstances allow.

6. Member States shall ensure that the note referred to in paragraph 1 provides for an exit strategy from the preventive measures, including a clearly specified schedule for the repayment by the credit institution of any repayable funds received as part of the preventive measures and divestment of the holding of the DGS concerned in that credit institution’s capital pursuant to paragraph 5. That information shall not be disclosed until after that credit institution exits the preventive measures, or until after the assessment referred to in Article 11c(3) has been completed, subject to non-delayable disclosure obligations referred to in Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*).

7. Member States shall ensure that no dividends, share buy-backs or variable remuneration are paid out and no irrevocable commitment to pay out dividends, share buy-backs or variable remuneration is undertaken by the supported credit institution. The competent authority may exceptionally allow the payment of dividends where the credit institution demonstrates to the satisfaction of the competent authority that it is legally bound to pay out such dividends. Member States shall ensure that the prohibitions set out in this paragraph remain in place until after the credit institution exits the preventive measures.

8. Member States shall ensure that within six months of the provision of the initial financial support, the supported credit institution submits a business reorganisation plan to the competent authority. After the preventive measures have been granted, the competent authority may extend that period to a maximum period of eight months. Where the competent authority is not satisfied that the business reorganisation plan is credible or feasible, the further provision of funds by the DGS to the credit institution concerned shall be suspended.

9. Member States shall ensure that the measures envisaged in the business reorganisation plan referred to in paragraph 8 are compatible with the restructuring plan of the credit institution that may be required by the Commission, pursuant to the Union State aid framework.

10. The competent authority shall provide the business reorganisation plan referred to in paragraph 8 to the resolution authority. The resolution authority may examine the business reorganisation plan with a view to identifying any actions which might adversely impact the resolvability of the institution and may make recommendations to the competent authority with regard to those matters. The resolution authority shall communicate its assessment and recommendations within the timeframe set by the competent authority.

Article 11c

Remediation plan

1. Member States shall ensure that where a credit institution fails to fulfil the commitments outlined in the note referred to in Article 11b(1), or in the business reorganisation plan referred to in Article 11b(8) or fails to repay the amount contributed by the DGS under the preventive measures referred to in Article 11(3) at maturity or to comply with the exit strategy under Article 11b(6), the DGS informs the competent authority thereof without delay.

2. In the circumstances referred to in paragraph 1, Member States shall ensure that the competent authority requests the credit institution to submit a one-time remediation plan to the designated authority and the DGS describing the steps the credit institution will take to secure compliance with supervisory requirements, to ensure its long-term viability and to repay the due amount contributed by the DGS to the preventive measures, as well as the associated timeframe. The designated authority and the DGS shall consult the competent authority as regards the measures envisaged in the remediation plan.

3. Where the competent authority is not satisfied that the remediation plan is credible or feasible or where the credit institution fails to comply with the remediation plan, the competent authority shall inform the DGS and the resolution authority of its assessment. In that case, the DGS shall not grant any further preventive measures to that credit institution and the relevant authorities shall carry out an assessment of whether the institution is failing or is likely to fail in accordance with Article 32 of Directive 2014/59/EU.

4. By 11 May 2029, EBA shall issue guidelines setting out the elements to be included in the business reorganisation plan accompanying the preventive measures referred to in Article 11b(4) to (8) and in the remediation plan referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article.

Article 11d

Conditions for alternative measures

1. Member States shall ensure that, where available financial means of a DGS are used for alternative measures as referred to in Article 11(5), the DGS may contribute the amount necessary to finance the transfer of non-covered deposits and other ordinary unsecured liabilities to a recipient and to ensure the capital neutrality of the recipient, in addition to the amount necessary for the transfer of covered deposits and assets of the credit institution concerned, where in the assessment of the relevant national authority:

(a) the transfer of deposits that are not covered or of ordinary unsecured liabilities is strictly necessary and proportionate to avoid contagion, in particular as regards eligible deposits held by natural persons and micro, small and medium sized enterprises;

(b) the transfer of deposits that are not covered and of ordinary unsecured liabilities would maximise the value upon sale or transfer to a new buyer, thereby limiting the destruction of economic value and reducing potential losses for creditors; or

(c) there is a need to preserve the whole relationship with clients in order to maintain confidence.

Member States shall ensure that DGSs do not finance the transfer of own funds and liabilities ranking below ordinary unsecured liabilities in their national laws governing normal insolvency proceedings.

2. Member States shall ensure that when a DGS finances the transfer of assets and liabilities, including a deposit book transfer as referred to in Article 11(5), the credit institution concerned, or the relevant national authority, markets, or makes arrangements for the marketing of, the assets, rights and liabilities that credit institution intends to transfer. Without prejudice to the Union State aid framework, such marketing shall:

(a) be open and transparent and not misrepresent the assets, rights and liabilities that are to be transferred;

(b) not favour, or discriminate between, potential purchasers and not confer any advantages on a potential purchaser;

(c) be free from any conflict of interest;

(d) take account of the need to implement a rapid solution, taking into account the deadline laid down in Article 3(2), second subparagraph, for the determination referred to in Article 2(1), point (8)(a); and

(e) aim at maximising, as much as possible, the sale price for the assets, rights and liabilities concerned.

Article 11e

(b) the amount resulting from the conditions for the application of the relevant measure laid down in Article 109 of Directive 2014/59/EU or in Article 11(3) or Article 11(5) of this Directive, respectively.
