Article 7 Information on the new proposed group structure and its impact on supervision

Summary What does Article 7 of the RTS on acquisition of qualified holding in ART issuer say?

Article 7 sits within the broader notification framework and applies specifically to proposed acquirers that are legal persons.

It requires them to submit two distinct analyses to the competent authority of the target entity: one focused on how consolidated supervision would apply to the resulting group structure after the acquisition, and another examining whether the acquisition could affect the target entity's ability to report accurately and on time to its supervisor, particularly where close links exist between the acquirer and the target.

Important points:

Legal person proposed acquirers must provide an analysis of how consolidated supervision requirements would apply across the group following the acquisition, including at full and sub-consolidated levels.
Also provide an analysis of the impact the acquisition would have on the target entity's ability to deliver timely and accurate information to its competent authority.
The second analysis must specifically account for any close links between the proposed acquirer and the target entity.
