Division 3 Wind-down of HBI
United Kingdom
In order to prevent market distortion during the resolution of Retail-Bank HBI and deposit outflows, and to cushion against HBI’s resulting additional liquidity requirements, the following provisions will apply to HBI:
- 3.1.
HBI will not transact any new business, save as otherwise provided below.
- 3.2.
HBI’s assets will be gradually reduced through sales of portfolios or individual assets, further restructuring transactions (i.e. transfers of portfolios and/or assets to the wind-down entity) and also by the amortisation of existing assets.
- 3.3.
The wind-down of the liabilities on HBI’s balance sheet will follow the wind-down of the assets on its balance sheet and will be determined by the latter. HBI’s liabilities will therefore be reduced proportionally to the reduction on the asset side.
- 3.4.
At present, the following key steps are planned for the wind-down of HBI:
-
reduction in the current balance-sheet total of approximately EUR 3 billion by around […] % by the end of 2013 through further portfolio transfers to the local wind-down entity (HLI);
-
reduction in the balance-sheet total of the remaining amounts receivable by contractual maturity of around EUR […] to some EUR […] by the end of 2018;
-

- 3.8.
Save as otherwise provided above, the provisions concerning the wind-down part in V.1 and V.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the wind-down of HBI.
