    • CA-1.1.9

      Licensees must ensure that at all times they maintain the minimum gearing ratio outlined in Paragraph CA-1.1.4. In the event that the licensee does not comply with the minimum gearing ratio, it must notify the CBB by no later than the following business day of the actual level of the gearing ratio. When providing such notification, the licensee must:

      (a) Provide to the CBB, within one week of the non-compliance, a written action plan setting out how the licensee proposes to restore its gearing ratio to the required minimum level and describe the systems and controls that have been put in place to prevent any future non-compliance of the minimum gearing ratio; and
      (b) Report to the CBB on a monthly basis or on another timely basis as required by the CBB, the licensee's gearing ratio until such time as the gearing ratio has reached 22% or other target level as specified by the CBB.

    • CA-1.1.10

      Licensees must note that the CBB considers the breach of the gearing ratio to be a very serious matter. Consequently, the CBB may (at its discretion) subject a licensee which breaches its gearing ratio to a formal licensing reappraisal. Such reappraisal may be effected either through the CBB's own inspection function or through the use of Reporting Accountants, as appropriate. Following such reappraisal, the CBB will provide a written notification to the licensee concerned outlining the CBB's conclusions with regard to the continued licensing.
