Resolution criteria
- This market will resolve to YES if, on or before December 31, 2026, at 23:59 UTC, there is an official announcement from Aughinish Alumina Ltd. (or its parent company, UC Rusal) or a report in a major news outlet (such as The Irish Times, RTÉ, Irish Independent, Reuters, or Bloomberg) confirming either of the following events:
- Production Curtailment: A planned, temporary, or permanent reduction in the plant's production capacity or output, or a partial/complete suspension of refining operations.
- Routine, short-term maintenance shutdowns do not qualify unless they are explicitly characterized by the company or authorities as operational cutbacks/curtailments due to economic, geopolitical, regulatory, or environmental pressures.
- Major Layoffs: A reduction in force (redundancies/layoffs) at the Co. Limerick plant affecting 10% or more of its direct workforce (roughly 90 or more of its estimated 900 employees), or any workforce reduction explicitly characterized in official communications as "major layoffs," "mass redundancies," or equivalent terms.
- If no such official announcement or credible report of production curtailment or major layoffs occurs by the deadline, the market will resolve to NO.
