Back in February the AmRating Agency analysts forecasted that Unibank would probably have to make additional issues in 2016, as its total capital was less than 30 bln AMD required by CBA starting from 2017.  According to the latest data the bank's total capital made 23.2 bln AMD as of April 1 2016.
