Partial payments totalling ISK 1,117.6 billion have been made to priority claims with reference to Art. 112 of the Act on Bankruptcy etc. equivalent to around 84.14% of the total amount of such claims.

As of the end of June this year, the estimated value of LBI's assets was around ISK 264 billion more than the outstanding balance on priority claims recognised with reference to Articles 112 of the Act on Bankruptcy etc.

Temporary Provision III of the Act on the Central Bank of Iceland, No. 36/2001, met with no objections from creditors.
