Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland

Mr. Frank Jansen:

I am grateful for the example that is being given because we have been able to work out a solution with that family and that is what we try to do. We try to provide a solution to people who are in difficulties. This is a performing loan and the performing loan, together with the warehoused part, is part of the intended transaction with Bank of Ireland. Let us not forget that we still need that approval from the antitrust authorities. It is good that the loan is part of this transaction with Bank of Ireland because Bank of Ireland steps into our shoes and the legal structure we are using is technically called a part three. It steps into our rights and obligations when taking over this portfolio so it will respect the engagements we have agreed with those customers.
