We are pleased to announce that we advised the Bank Guarantee Fund (the “BFG”) on the sale to a US fund, Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. of 100% of the shares in VeloBank. The investment amount exceeded one billion zlotys. The acquisition of the shares by Cerberus completes the resolution process of Getin Noble Bank initiated in September 2022.
The BFG is an institution that guarantees bank deposits in Poland and provides support for financial institutions that are at risk of bankruptcy.
VeloBank is a bridge institution, the successor to Getin Noble Bank, which was subject to resolution.
Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. is one of the largest investment firms in the US.
The closing of the transaction is subject to Cerberus obtaining all of the necessary regulatory approvals, including from the European Commission and the Polish Financial Supervision Authority. This is expected to take place mid-2024.
