The Financial Supervisory Authority has decided to delay the transfer of deposits of Straumur - Burdarás Investment Bank hf. to Íslandsbanki hf. due to technical difficulties. This is a complicated project, which is more time consuming than previously believed. For these reasons it is necessary to grant an extended deadline to complete the transfer of deposits and the issuance of promissory and collateral documents.

The Government announced plans on 21 March 2009 to reorganize Iceland's network of savings banks.

The Financial Supervisory Authority (FME) has made a decision on the disposal of obligations of Straumur - Burdarás Investment Bank hf. in Iceland due to deposits in the headquarters of the bank in Iceland. Deposits will be allocated to Íslandsbanki hf. according to the balance and interest earned on the date of takeover with certain limitations specified in the decision.

The Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority (FME) has on grounds of Act No. 125/2008, which was set in October 2008 because of special circumstances, taken control of the operations of Straumur-Burdaras Investment Bank hf. (Straumur). The FME has appointed a Resolution Committee which will take over all authority of the Board of Directors of Straumur.
