[The provisions of footnote 1 in chapter 4 AIF Management Company Requirements will apply mutatis mutandis to directors of ELTIF investment companies which are in distressed or failing circumstances.]

1. Where the ELTIF is an investment company, departures from the office of director and the reason for the departure must be notified to the Central Bank immediately by filing the relevant Central Bank form. In all cases where a director wishes to resign and prior to completing the relevant Central Bank form, the ELTIF (at Board or its Chair level) must form a view as to the impact of the resignation on the manager of the ELTIF having regard to the current and prospective financial state of the manager of the ELTIF and the funds under management. In the event that the Board or, in the absence of a Board meeting, the Chair forms the view that the situation is one which could create such concern on the part of the Central Bank, it shall state this on the relevant Central Bank form. The Board or its Chair may consult the Central Bank in order to help it form a view on that matter.

2. Where the ELTIF is an investment company it shall ensure that it does not have directors in common with the board of directors of its depositary.

3. Where the ELTIF is an investment company, a minimum of two directors must be Irish resident.
