Cash distributions to the limited partners are payable semi-annually in arrears on 1 June and 1 December each year up to<br />
and including 1 June 2017, and thereafter quarterly in arrears on 1 March, 1 June, 1 September and 1 December. The<br />
distribution rate on the preferred securities was fixed at 6.949% per annum to 1 June 2017 and thereafter resets at three<br />
month LIBOR plus 1.39% per annum. No distributions can be paid if the <strong>Bank</strong> is not in compliance with applicable<br />
regulatory capital adequacy requirements.<br />
Other subordinated liabilities includes €100,000 A Preference Shares issued by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Irish</strong> Asset Finance plc.<br />
The European Commission, as a condition of its approval of the Government’s capitalisation of the <strong>Bank</strong> in mid <strong>2009</strong>, required<br />
that no further coupon payments be made on any of the Group’s Tier 1 securities following the payment due on the 7.625%<br />
Tier One Non-Innovative Capital Securities on 23 July <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
In September <strong>2009</strong>, the Board resolved that the non-cumulative distributions on the €600m Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Guaranteed<br />
Non-voting Perpetual Preferred Securities of <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Irish</strong> Capital UK (2) LP (‘the LP2 Preferred Securities’), which otherwise would<br />
have been payable on 29 September <strong>2009</strong>, would not be paid.<br />
The effect of this decision by the Group was to trigger the ‘Dividend Stopper’ provisions of the LP 2 Preferred Securities, which<br />
preclude the Group for a period of one calendar year from and including 29 September <strong>2009</strong>, from declaring and paying any<br />
distribution or dividend on its ‘Junior Share Capital’, which comprises the Group’s ordinary shares.<br />
The Group is similarly precluded, for the same period of time, from declaring and paying any distribution or dividend on any<br />
‘Parity Security’, which comprises the following:<br />
8.5325% Step-up Callable Perpetual Capital Securities issued by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Irish</strong> Asset Finance plc on which a semi-annual<br />
coupon payment was due on 28 December <strong>2009</strong>, and another which would otherwise be due on 28 June 2010;<br />
7.625% Tier One Non-Innovative Capital Securities issued by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Irish</strong> Asset Finance plc on which an annual cumulative<br />
coupon payment would otherwise be due on 23 July 2010;<br />
Non-Voting Non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred Securities issued by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Irish</strong> Capital UK LP on which a semi-annual<br />
distribution was due on 30 September <strong>2009</strong>, and another which would otherwise be due on 30 March 2010;<br />
£300m Series A Fixed/Floating Rate Non-cumulative Callable Preference Shares issued by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Irish</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> Corporation<br />
Limited;<br />
Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Guaranteed Non-voting Non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred Securities issued by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Irish</strong><br />
Capital UK (3) LP on which a semi-annual distribution was due on 1 December <strong>2009</strong>, and another which would otherwise<br />
be due on 1 June 2010; and<br />
€100,000 A Preference Shares issued by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Irish</strong> Asset Finance plc.<br />
