No, that is for resolution. That is the sequence for resolution. As the bank gets resolved, its capital would have to be built up as well. One could have a bank needing capital - quite clearly, many of them will need capital, and this will be apparent next year - without any threat of resolution. They will just need additional capital. It has happened before. A bank would be given 18 months or two years to come up with a plan to put capital in place. Some would go to the market, which would be the obvious way to do it. The shareholder would come in; the bank would do an issuance and would try to collect extra capital from its shareholders, who would buy extra shares.
