Lithuania Bank Merger Talk Sparks Interest in Ukio Bankas Shares
2012-12-19 11:14:41.640 GMT
By Bryan Bradley
Dec. 19 (Bloomberg) -- AB Ukio Bankas shares were the most
active since February after a news portal said the Lithuanian
central bank wants to merge it with AB Siauliu Bankas with aid
from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Volume of 1.5 million shares by 11:45 a.m. in Vilnius was
higher than any day since Feb. 2, according to data compiled by
Bloomberg. The shares were unchanged at a nine-year low of 0.11
euros, valuing the company at 38 million euros ($50 million). No
trading of Siauliu Bankas shares took place on the exchange.
The Bank of Lithuania wants the EBRD, Siauliu Bankas’s
biggest shareholder, to help it merge the two lenders to avert a
deterioration of the unprofitable Ukio Bankas, Eversus.lt
reported today, without saying where it got the information. It
would create the Baltic nation’s third-biggest lender by
deposits after the units of SEB AB and Swedbank AB.
The EBRD, which said today it won’t comment specifically on
the transaction, listed actions “to support strengthening and
consolidation of local banks” as a priority in the Strategy for
Lithuania published on its website last month.
The Bank of Lithuania won’t comment on the situation,
spokesman Giedrius Simonavicius said by phone in Vilnius today.
Shareholder Losses
Kaunas-based Ukio Bankas shares have declined 28 percent
since Oct. 29, when it reported a group net loss of 44 million
litai ($16.9 million) for the first nine months of this year.
Following the collapse of Russian-owned AB Bankas Snoras a
year ago, Ukio Bankas, whose majority owner Vladimir Romanov is
also Russian-born, has had to offer higher interest rates to
attract depositors and offset a lack of demand for its bonds.
A merger with Siauliu Bankas could only work if the EBRD
agreed, Baltic investment bank Finasta analyst Tadas Povilauskas
said today in a note to clients.
“Such a merger would not be positive news for the minor
shareholders of Ukio Bankas, the value of which would probably
be depressed,” Povilauskas said.
The EBRD owns 43 percent of Siauliu Bankas, which is based
in the northern Lithuanian town of Siauliai.
EBRD Position
“We continue our work with Siauliu Bankas, a long-standing
partner of the EBRD in Lithuania,” the bank’s Head of Media
Relations Anthony Williams said by phone today from London. “As
always, the EBRD will review opportunities as they arise.”
In its Lithuania strategy document, the EBRD said the
failure of Snoras in November 2011 showed a need “to enhance
the governance and the financial strength of local banks,
possibly through assistance in consolidation.”
“The bank will consider, primarily through the EBRD’s
existing shareholding in Siauliu Bankas, opportunities to play
an active role in the process,” it said in the policy document.
Presumably it would be in the best interests of the bank to cash in on any potential investments. Like land in Edinburgh :greengrinQuote:

Hearts are left with a stadium needing multi million pound investment, substantial debts, ongoing losses and no working capital....about as bad as it could possibly be. They have already fleeced their fans for what extra cash they can and essentially the cupboard is now bare.
Bad times for the Yams and it would appear there situation is one of terminal decline.
To be selling at this point, someone either needs the money or is getting out before it falls further.Quote:

On the Jambo football front, the Scott Robinson issue has been dealt with. The naughty boy has been censured by McGlynn and the details of the punishment will be kept within the club. I can hear McGlynn talking to Robinson. "See yon wages you never get? Well we're no giving you them for the next two weeks. In fact, you give us two weeks wages and we'll call it quits". :-)
just got a reply from my mate an accountant (and a YAM :D ) ..... in his proffesional opinion there's a 20% chance the Yams will get through this unscathed.... he did say one of the partners (a sheep) thinks it's near 5% chance.Quote:

Bet none of us smartarse Hobo's thought of that eh! CWG and CG don't understand what is really happening.
I've tried reassuring the doubters for weeks - Hearts are screwed. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, but they are truly, undeniably, inevitably screwed.
Bank takes over/joins with Ukio and looks at the company's with massive debts to both banks, calls the debts in, hearts can't pay, security is Tynie, Cheerio Tynie.
If these banks do merge will this mean that Romanov won't have full control of hearts debt and it will be in the hands of a third party with no links to the tramps on Gorgie?
It seems like the ***** is finally, finally hitting the fan. If I was a deluded tramp I would consider baking a few more cakes.

Is it coincidence this news as well as the basketball side in the ****ter is revealed just as the hearts share issue is closing?
The Yams have a preference towards fan ownership. Sell the shares to hibs.net :aok:Quote:
