Annex I outlines the technical calculations. 2 If a participant's total borrowings in respect of its additional allowance in the TLTROs conducted from March 2015 to June 2016 exceed the additional allowance calculated as of the allotment reference month of April 2016, then the amount of this excess additional borrowing shall be payable on 28 September 2016 , unless an alternative date is otherwise specified by the Eurosystem. Annex I outlines the technical calculations. 3 Where changes to the composition of a TLTRO group have been recognised in accordance with paragraph 5 or 6 of Article 3, the calculation for the purpose of the mandatory early repayments of the lead institution (including the applicable benchmark) shall be performed on the basis of the balance sheet data of the new composition in respect of all borrowings, whether conducted before or after the change to the TLTRO group. 4 The relevant NCB shall notify its participants that are subject to mandatory early repayment by the latest on 31 August 2016, unless an alternative date is otherwise specified by the Eurosystem. A mandatory early repayment notice provided by an NCB pursuant to this Article 7 or Article 9 below shall not constitute a notice of an event of default. 5 If the participant fails to settle by the repayment date, in full or in part, the amount due under the mandatory early repayment procedure, a financial penalty may be imposed. The applicable financial penalty shall be calculated in accordance with Annex VII to Guideline (EU) 2015/510 (ECB/2014/60) and shall correspond to the financial penalty applied for failures to comply with the obligations to adequately collateralise and settle the amount the counterparty has been allotted as regards reverse transactions for monetary policy purposes. The imposition of a financial penalty shall be without prejudice to the NCB's right to exercise the remedies provided for on the occurrence of an event of default as set out in Article 166 of Guideline (EU) 2015/510 (ECB/2014/60). Substituted by Decision (EU) 2016/811 of the European Central Bank of 28 April 2016 amending Decision ECB/2014/34 on measures relating to targeted longer-term refinancing operations (ECB/2016/11).
