On Monday July 15th, 2013, the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (HFSF) completed the sale of the New Proton Bank to Eurobank, following the signing of the binding agreement between the parties.
This sale follows a competitive process, in which Eurobank and certain financial investors expressed interest. On Thursday July 11th, 2013, Eurobank filed the only compliant binding offer which met the conditions of the competition.
The transfer of shares will be completed after the recapitalisation of New Proton Bank by HFSF, and the necessary approvals from DG Comp, the Bank of Greece, the Hellenic Competition Authority and the General Assembly of Eurobank’s shareholders.
