Art. 5b Federal Act of 10 October 1997 on Confederation Armament Companies (CAAC) - Subsequent Increase of Coverage Capital
Art. 5b LEAC · Subsequent Increase of Coverage Capital
If the coverage capital prescribed in the statutes of the armament companies increases as a result of the clearance of records carried out with the Federal Pension Fund, the Confederation shall bear the resulting coverage supplement. For this purpose, the DDPS, with the authorization of the Federal Council, submits a letter of guarantee to this effect. Any modification made to the number of insured persons and data fields is considered as record clearance.
In the event of an increase in the coverage capital as provided in para. 1, the Confederation ensures the appropriate endowment of armament companies with equity capital. The applicable accounting standards at the end of the record clearance process are determinative. The Federal Council determines the arrangements, schedule, and amount of the necessary recapitalization.
The expenditure resulting from paras. 1 and 2 for the Confederation is recorded in the capital account and amortized over several fiscal periods in the income statement.
