Today, KBC and Tzvetelina Borislavova signed an agreement in which KBC acquires Ms Borislavova's remaining stake in the Bulgarian CIBank. In so doing, Ms Borislavova is exercising the seller put option which she had agreed on 24 September 2007 with KBC.
KBC thus increases its shareholding in its Bulgarian banking subsidiary to 100% and is now the sole shareholder of the company. The transaction does not have any impact on KBC's capital position.
KBC plans to immediately start the procedure for delisting the company from the Bulgarian Stock Exchange.
