Division 3.3 Commencing 3 months after the Date of the Final Decision until the end of the Restructuring Period, Ireland commits that the methodology to be adopted by AIB to assess which restructuring solution is the most appropriate for SME Loans, loans to corporates and commercial real estate loans which are Impaired and/or which are Late Arrears Loans, will be based on economic and commercial criteria and is outlined as follows:

Where the Net Exposure to the client exceeds EUR [2,5-10] m, a Net Present Value (‘NPV’) analysis of the restructuring options will be conducted, with the objective of maximising the NPV for AIB but also ensuring that the viability of the SME or corporate is not endangered as a result, and if the solution chosen does not have the highest NPV, it must be based on verifiable economic and commercial criteria and the decision will require approval by the appropriate AIB Credit Committee.

Where the Net Exposure to the client does not exceed EUR [2,5-10] m, Ireland commits that AIB will effectively and consistently implement guidelines to assist decision makers on the proper means of assessing the appropriate restructuring option for both viable and non-viable customers.
