      In the event that the amount to be payable under the Scheme to eligible depositors of a relevant bank in accordance with Paragraph CP-2.2.1 above is greater than the maximum sum determined to be available in the Scheme for such relevant bank under Paragraph CP-2.2.3 above, the amounts determined to be payable to such eligible depositors under Paragraph CP-2.2.1 above should be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with a formula to be determined by the Board.

    • CP-2.2.5

      If, in the opinion of the Board, the amount which would be payable to eligible depositors in accordance with Paragraph CP-2.2.4 above would make the Scheme inappropriate (for administrative and/or other reasons) for a relevant bank, the Scheme may not be made available for such relevant bank.

      (b) The beneficial owner of each such eligible deposit is a person separate and distinct from the beneficial owner of any other eligible deposit with the relevant bank,

      such person should be treated as a different eligible depositor for each such eligible deposit for the purposes of this Module.
