Reference is made to Company Announcement APSB91 (Rights Issue), inviting investors to participate in the placement process for the anticipated lapsing of rights of the Bank’s Qualifying Shareholders.

The Bank is pleased to announce that this process has closed as all these rights have been taken up. Consequently, the rights to 67,648,793 shares at the offer price of €0.44 per share, for a total value of €29,765,469, have now been placed in full. The Board of Directors thanks both existing shareholders and, in particular, new investors for yet another overwhelming vote of confidence in the Bank.

Upon regulatory approval being received, publication of the prospectus and mailing of the application forms to eligible shareholders will follow, and the ordinary application process of the Rights Issue will commence. In the event that the Rights Issue is not subscribed in full, the lapsed rights still remaining then, will be offered to the general public via an Intermediaries’ Offer, always at the price of €0.44 per share.

The Bank is also registered as a Tied Insurance Intermediary under the Insurance Distribution Act 2018.
