Article 3
The CDIC shall after careful deliberation make advance payments in regard to the uninsured claims of creditors of closed insured institutions that comply with the following conditions:
1. The net realizable value of the assets of the closed insured institutions can be reasonably estimated, and it is likely to be converted into cash.
2. The estimated amount of the advance payments and the interest on them can be fully reimbursed by the estimate of the net realizable value of the assets in the previous Paragraph.

The funds that the CDIC needs pursuant to the Act in the fulfillment of its insurance responsibilities towards closed insured institutions shall be deducted from the outstanding amount on the deposit insurance special payout reserve in the preceding Paragraph. Furthermore, the deduction also includes funds that it is likely to need should there be other insured institutions to the extent that, because they are critically undercapitalized or significantly undercapitalized and the period of their capital restoration is limited by the competent authority or for other measures, it is uncertain that the CDIC may fulfill its insurance responsibilities.
Article 4
When the CDIC handles advance payments in relation to the uninsured claims of the creditors on closed insured institutions, the formula for the anticipated amount of advance payments will be as follows:
(The amount of the deposit-insured claims beyond the maximum coverage × Its anticipated distribution ratio of the liquidation proceeds + The amount of the non-deposit creditors × Its anticipated distribution ratio of the liquidation proceeds) × The advance payments percentage
The anticipated recovery ratio in the previous Paragraph is based on assets divided by each claim. When it exceeds 100 percent, it will then be calculated on the basis of 100 percent.
The assets in the previous Paragraph are based on the anticipated net realizable value of the closed insured institutions remaining after deducting anticipated liquidation expenses, claims that have a higher priority of reimbursement, the collateralized claims of other creditors on the closed insured institutions, and other claims that shall be deducted. For each claim in the previous Paragraph, the total amount of the claims shall be calculated separately by distinguishing the sequence in which these advance payments claims are to be made.
The so-called collateralized claims in the previous Paragraph refer to the amounts that creditors in respect of such collateral shall be reimbursed that lie within the scope of the value of the collateral on such claims.
The percentage paid in advance by the receiver to uninsured creditors shall be limited to 30 percent of the anticipated amount of the recovery.
For deposit-insured claims beyond the maximum coverage for which it is anticipated that the full amount cannot be recovered, advance payments shall not be made for other claims.
When calculating the value of the assets in Paragraph 3, the evaluation basis may refer to the information and amount regarding the anticipated loss from the CDIC's cash payouts.
