All investments in Paragraph CA-2.4.20 that are not common shares must be fully deducted following a corresponding deduction approach. This means the deduction must be applied to the same tier of capital for which the capital would qualify if it was issued by the conventional bank licensee itself. If the conventional bank licensee is required to make a deduction from a particular tier of capital and it does not have enough of that tier of capital to satisfy that deduction, the shortfall will be deducted from the next higher tier of capital (e.g. if a conventional bank licensee does not have enough AT1 capital to satisfy a particular deduction, the shortfall will be deducted from CET1c as applicable).
