DUBLIN, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Anglo Irish Bank expects to agree 'in principle' with the European Union in September on a plan to split into a 'good' and 'bad' bank, the chief executive of the nationalised lender said on Thursday.
Anglo, nationalised last year after deposit and loan scandals and exposure to a property market crash, submitted its latest restructuring plan to the European Commission in May with the preferred option to split the bank in two.
Chief Executive Mike Aynsley had told Reuters in June that he expected a preliminary EU verdict by late July or early August, but he told staff on Thursday that work still had to be done.
'We had hoped by now to be in a position to announce an 'in principle' agreement with the EC for the bank's split,' Aynsley told staff in a presentation seen by Reuters.
'However, summer is upon us and it will likely be September now before all the necessary processes are worked through.'
demnach geht man bei Anglo Irish davon aus, dass die Teilung der Bank in zwei Teile die Unterstützung der EU-Komission im September findet und dass operativ bereits Ende des Jahres eine Aufspaltung erfolgt die dann Ende nächsten Jahres auf allen Ebenen komplettiert ist. Die Good Bank wird ein überschaubares Geschäft mit 10 bis 15 Mrd. Kreditportfolio bekommen, während die nach den NAMA-Transfers verbleibenden Kredite in der Bad Bank zur längerfristigen Auswertung landen.
