Mandatory distribution restrictions Key points Mandatory restrictions to discretionary distributions* will apply to all European banks under CRD IV. The Maximum Distributable Amount ( MDA ) is calculated in relation to the combined capital buffer requirement ( CBR ). CBR is defined as the capital conservation buffer extended by the systemic risk buffer and countercyclical capital buffer. Danske Bank s CBR of 5.7% consists of a 2.5% capital conservation buffer, a 0.2% countercyclical capital buffer reflecting the exposures in Norway and Sweden and a 3.0% systematic risk buffer. According to CRD IV, the Pillar II requirement is not relevant for MDA purposes. Danske Bank intends to manage its CET1 capital ratio to provide a prudent cushion to its CBR to mitigate against the risk of mandatory distribution restrictions under CRD IV *Dividends on ordinary shares, coupon payments on AT1 instruments and discretionary variable compensation 21
