The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has decided to allow Sergei Tigipk, the owner of the TAS group, indirect acquisition of 100% of the shares. The corresponding decision was made on April 21, reports Interfax-Ukraine with reference to the stock exchange message from the Polish seller Getin Holding SA.
According to the terms of the agreement concluded in October 2024, Sergei Tigipko will become the owner of a full package of shares. The basic amount of the agreement is $ 34 million. It should be noted that before that the NBU has twice extended the period of verification of documents and information on this Agreement, resulting in an additional 30 working days to complete the process.
This step is a continuation of previously made decisions concerning the sale of the bank's idea. In March 2023, the NBU recognized the reputation of Getin Holding and its primary owner Leshek Chernetsky, which led to the deprivation of the holding of the right of vote on the action of the bank. The NBU also gave the annual time to correct the situation, and in 2024 refused Getin to restore this right.
It should be reminded that the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine granted permission for an agreement in December 2024, and the NBU officially announced the receipt of all the necessary documents for approval of the agreement in early 2025.
Thus, the purchase agreement is completed, and Sergei Tigipko becomes the new owner of this financial institution.
