Comment on the media coverage about Glitnir’s shareholdings in Islandsbanki:
The Winding up Board of Glitnir (the "WuB") is committed to securing the best value for creditors of Glitnir, and asset realization has been a key part of the strategy. At the time Glitnir acquired its 95% shareholding in Islandsbanki at the end of 2009, it was publicly stated that the shareholding would be for sale in the future , with the sales process expected to take 3 to 5 years. Since then, Islandsbanki has been successful in its operations during the turbulent aftermath of the banking crisis in Iceland, and is a highly respected and professional domestic bank in Iceland.
