The Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander Limited Transfer of Certain Rights and Liabilities Order 2008

Sums to be paid to ING following the second transfer

This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

14.—(1) The following liabilities arise at the second transfer time—

(a)the FSCS is liable to pay (as soon as practicable) to ING an amount equal to the amount that eligible claimants would, immediately before the effective time, have been entitled to claim from the FSCS in respect of claims against Kaupthing in relation to relevant protected deposits; and

(b)the Treasury are liable to pay (as soon as practicable) to ING an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the liabilities transferred to ING under the second transfer less the amount specified in sub-paragraph (a) and less £5,000,000,

and the Treasury shall subsequently make the necessary adjustment such that Kaupthing obtains the benefit (net of all costs and liabilities incurred by Deposits Management (Edge)) in connection with the first or second transfer or its obligations under this Order of the reduction of £5,000,000 referred to in sub-paragraph (b).

(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), if the quantification date for a claim would have been a date other than the date on which Kaupthing was determined to be in default for the purposes of section 6.3 of the COMP Sourcebook, the amount that an eligible claimant would have been entitled to claim from the FSCS is the lesser of—

(a)the amount which the FSCS quantifies as being the value of that claim as at immediately before the effective time; and

(b)the amount which would have been payable at the quantification date, if different, for that claim.

(3) In paragraph (2), “quantification date” has the meaning given in rule 12.3.1 of the COMP Sourcebook.

(4) As soon as practicable after the second transfer time—

(a)Kaupthing shall estimate the aggregate amount of the transferred liabilities;

(b)the FSCS shall pay to ING the amount it is liable to pay under paragraph (1)(a) as estimated by the Authority; and

(c)the Treasury shall pay to ING an amount equal to the amount estimated by Kaupthing in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) less the amount estimated by the Authority in accordance with sub-paragraph (b) and less £5,000,000.

(5) From time to time—

(a)the FSCS may revise the estimate of its liability under paragraph (1)(a); and

(b)Kaupthing may revise the estimate of the aggregate amount of the transferred liabilities.

(6) In consequence of paragraph (5), the FSCS, the Treasury and ING shall make such corresponding payments to each other as are necessary to ensure that the FSCS and the Treasury have each paid to ING the amount required (and no more than the required amount) to meet their liability under paragraph (1).

(7) If at any time after the effective time Kaupthing is placed into administration, the references to Kaupthing in paragraphs (4) and (5) are to be treated as references to the administrator.

(8) The liability referred to in paragraph (1)(a) shall be assessed by the FSCS and, in doing so, the FSCS may calculate, by any methodology or approach it considers appropriate, the total amounts of compensation that would have been paid to all eligible claimants if (and to the extent that) it considers that the costs of ascertaining the entitlement to and the amount of compensation by reference to each eligible claimant would exceed or be disproportionate to the benefit of doing so.
