An interim dividend of 25% was paid to all admitted unsecured creditors of the liquidation of IBRC, including the State, in December 2016. The amount paid out to date by the Special Liquidators to admitted unsecured creditors of the liquidation is c. €290m.

As previously advised in the IBRC Progress Update Report of May 2016, it is the expectation of the Special Liquidators, based on current information, that the eventual unsecured creditor dividend will be in the range of 75% - 100% of all eligible claims. This eventual dividend range is subject to change depending on future events which are outside the control of the Special Liquidators. The ultimate level of dividend paid to each creditor, and timing of same, cannot be known until such time as all loan assets are sold, the total level of adjudicated creditors is finalised and the other contingent creditor claims which may crystallise, including those from litigation, are known.
