This week, KPMG’s Joint Special Administrators for defunct Alpari (UK) Limited which became insolvent following the removal of the 1.20 peg on the EURCHF pair by the Swiss National Bank in January 2015, has concluded its interim distribution proposals with regard to disbursements, issuing a notice of the proposed distribution to all creditors.

KPMG Joint Special Administrators Samantha Bewick, Richard Heis and Mark Firmin produced the document, with Ms. Bewick having stated:

“I propose to make a second interim distribution to the unsecured creditors of the Company within two months from 18 April 2016. To ensure that you are able to participate in the interim distribution please submit details of your unsecured claim by this date.

“Note that all clients with a claim into the Client Money Pool should continue to agree their claims through the Alpari Claims Portal and do not need to take any action with regards to this letter.”

“Notwithstanding the detailed information below; if you do not provide your proof of debt before 18 April 2016 then you will not be able to participate in the interim dividend and your payment will be delayed.”

The instruction from KPMG to creditors is as follows:
