CrediaBank is exploring options to strengthen its presence in the capital markets
In the context of the ongoing strategic initiatives it is pursuing, and considering its commitment to optimize free float requirements in accordance with ATHEX regulations, CrediaBank is reviewing available options to strengthen its presence in the capital markets, which may involve an offer of newly issued shares. No decision has been taken, including as to the form and timing of any potential equity capital markets transaction.
In this regard, CrediaBank has engaged Morgan Stanley and UBS to assist in this strategic review.
