Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) Non Viability Criteria
In assessing whether an institution has ceased, or is about to cease, to be viable, the following criteria can be considered, which may
be mutually exclusive and should not be viewed as an exhaustive list¹
Whether the assets of the institution are, in the opinion of the Superintendent, sufficient to provide adequate protection to the
institution's depositors and creditors.
Whether the institution has lost the confidence of depositors or other creditors and the public. This may be characterized by ongoing
increased difficulty in obtaining or rolling over short-term funding.
Whether the institution's regulatory capital has, in the opinion of the Superintendent, reached a level, or is eroding in a manner, that
may detrimentally affect its depositors and creditors.
Whether the institution failed to pay any liability that has become due and payable or, in the opinion of the Superintendent, the
institution will not be able to pay its liabilities as they become due and payable.
Whether the institution failed to comply with an order of the Superintendent to increase its capital.
Whether, in the opinion of the Superintendent, any other state of affairs exists in respect of the institution that may be materially
prejudicial to the interests of the institution's depositors or creditors or the owners of any assets under the institution's administration,
including where proceedings under a law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency have been commenced in Canada or elsewhere in respect
of the holding body corporate of the institution.
Whether the institution is unable to recapitalize on its own through the issuance of common shares or other forms of regulatory capital.
For example, no suitable investor or group of investors exists that is willing or capable of investing in sufficient quantity and on terms
that will restore the institution's viability, nor is there any reasonable prospect of such an investor emerging in the near-term in the
absence of conversion or write-off of NVCC instruments. Further, in the case of a privately-held institution, including a Schedule II
bank, the parent firm or entity is unable or unwilling to provide further support to the subsidiary.
