AIB - Capital Contributions
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
For Immediate Release 28th July 2011
AIB - Capital Contributions
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. ("AIB") [NYSE:AIB] announces that, further to its
announcement on 27 July 2011, the Minister for Finance (the "Minister") and the
National Pensions Reserve Fund Commission (the "NPRFC") have today made capital
contributions in the aggregate amount of c. ?6.054 billion to AIB for no
consideration (the "Capital Contributions"). Accordingly, no new Ordinary
Shares have been issued by AIB to the Minister and the NPRFC in return for the
Capital Contributions. AIB is required to raise a total of c.?14.8 billion of
Core Tier 1 Capital, of which ?1.6 billion may be in the form of contingent
capital, by 31 July 2011 (the "PCAR Requirement"). The Capital Contributions
were made in order to satisfy the portion of the PCAR Requirement not satisfied
by AIB's placing of ?5 billion of new Ordinary Shares with the NPRFC and the
issue of ?1.6 billion of contingent capital notes at par to the Minister, which
completed on 27 July 2011 (the "Capital Raising"), other capital generating
exercises undertaken by AIB and EBS Limited (formerly EBS Building Society) and
further burden-sharing measures undertaken with the Group's subordinated debt
holders.
As a result of the proceeds of the Capital Raising and the Capital
Contributions, AIB has now received the necessary capital to meet the PCAR
Requirement. This has been confirmed by the Central Bank of Ireland.
AIB's Board of Directors acknowledges the continued support of the Minister and
the Irish State.
