EFG Eurobank Ergasias S.A. («the Bank»), in accordance with Article 14 of L.3556/2007 and based on information received on 11 August 2009 from Private Financial Holdings Limited, notifies the following:
EFG Bank European Financial Group was, until 6/8/2009, the ultimate parent company of the Bank, holding indirectly, through its 100% controlled subsidiary Private Financial Investments Holding Limited, and the 100% subsidiaries of the latter: EFG Consolidated Holdings S.A. and GPS Growth Equities S.A., an aggregate percentage of 44.11% of the total voting rights attaching to the Bank’s common shares.
As of the abovementioned date, Private Financial Holdings Limited became the ultimate parent company of the Bank. The said company is a member of the same Group of companies and now owns all of the above indirect participation (44.11%) through its 100% controlled subsidiaries: EFG European Financial Group Limited, European Financial Group EFG (Luxembourg), EFG Consolidated Holdings S.A. and GPS Growth Equities S.A. The latter two maintain their participations of 42.93% and 1.18% respectively, which they hold directly as Bank shareholders, of the total voting rights attaching to common shares of the Bank.
The aforementioned change in the chain of companies, within the same Group, is not the result of a transaction in the Bank’s shares, but due to restructuring of this Group. Both before and after restructuring, the voting rights of the ultimate parent company (i.e. the EFG Bank European Financial Group and the Private Financial Holdings Limited respectively) are held directly and/or indirectly by members of the Latsis family.
