Arion Banki hf Shs Swedish DR ( (SE:ARION) ) has issued an update.
Arion Banki hf. has requested authorization from the Financial Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland to repurchase up to ISK 5 billion of its own shares in Iceland and Sweden and subsequently reduce its share capital, in a move aligned with the implementation of the EU’s CRR III regulation and the resulting changes to capital requirements for financial institutions. The bank and Kvika banki hf. have also amended their existing letter of intent to confirm that Arion’s proposed buyback and Kvika’s own planned share repurchase of up to ISK 1.76 billion will not alter the agreed exchange ratios in their proposed merger, while preliminary talks with the Competition Authority on the merger are said to be progressing well and will continue into the new year, signaling steady regulatory momentum for the transaction and capital optimization plans.
