The Annual Report and Financial Statements 2011 of the National Pensions Reserve Fund Commission showed that the Fund’s ownership of Allied Irish Bank was 99.8% at 31 December 2011. In May 2012 the National Pensions Reserve Fund (NPRF) received a dividend of ordinary shares in lieu of a cash dividend on its preference shares. The NPRF has advised that that due to the dilution effect, the ownership was very marginally increased as shown in the following table:
- | NPRF Holdings | Total Shares | % Ownership |
---|---|---|---|
Before Dividend | 516,237,363,722 | 517,117,096,249 | 99.830% |
Dividend | 4,144,055,254 | 4,144,055,254 | - |
