The Winding up Board of Glitnir hf. („Glitnir“) has commissioned an analysis of trading activity in Glitnir claims since the default in October 2008 (the „Default“) to September 2013 from the financial advisory firm Moelis & Company („Moelis“).

According to the analysis, whilst the market in buying and selling („transferring“) Glitnir claims has been very active, pre-Default creditors who have not subsequently sold their claims still hold 29% of Glitnir‘s claims by value (by number, 93% of Glitnir´s creditors).

Glitnir hereby presents a summary of Glitnir's Current Business plan (BP) which is based on an opening position of 30 June 2013. The cash flow and the cash balance at the end of each year are presented in three categories; 1) ISK, 2) FX from domestic counterparties, and 3) FX from foreign counterparties.

Please also note however that the cashflows exclude the monetisation of Íslandsbanki, which is too uncertain to make reliable assumptions on regarding quantum, timing and currency. Glitnir would also like to draw attention to the other important accompanying notes and risk factors set out in the presentation.

The Winding-up Board (the “Winding-up Board”) of Glitnir hf. (“Glitnir”) announced on 20 September 2012 that, as part of its planning for a potential composition proposal, it had identified Jan Kvarnström as the prospective chairman of the post-composition board of directors of Glitnir, and had entered into a consultancy agreement with him to cover the period prior to the composition becoming effective.

At that time, it had been anticipated that Glitnir would shortly be able to propose a composition to its creditors for their approval. In that respect an application (the “Application”)was made on 28 November 2012 to the Central Bank of Iceland (the “CBI”) for an exemption from the Foreign Exchange Act. No. 87/1992 in order to proceed with the proposed composition which was detailed in the Application. However, and as the Winding-up Board recently announced, the first response to the Application was only received from the CBI on 23 September 2013. Although the Winding-up Board is seeking to arrange a meeting as soon as possible with the CBI to discuss the Application, it is not currently clear when it will be possible to proceed with a composition.
