I have been informed by the bank that the following unsecured guaranteed bonds are scheduled to mature during 2012:

April €1,500m

October €171m (1)

November €114m (1)

Total €1,785m

(1) foreign exchange conversion rates as at 20th January 2012

No unsecured guaranteed bonds fall due for repayment during 2013. It should be noted that such bonds are freely tradable once issued and therefore the issuer (i.e. IBRC) has no means of establishing the underlying ownership. These bonds are publicly traded and dealt through market participants and settled by clearing house systems. An issuer does not have any access to the records of the clearing house.
