Banken: Helaba plant offenbar IKB-Übernahmeangebot
Die Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen bereitet Insidern zufolge ein verbindliches Angebot für mehr als 600 Millionen Euro für die IKB Deutsche Industriebank vor. Eine endgültige Entscheidung steht noch aus.
The Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen, known as Helaba, is reportedly preparing a binding offer of over 600 million euros for IKB Deutsche Industriebank, according to well-informed sources. Bloomberg News reported this information. The bank's board met on Tuesday, with final bids expected early next week, according to the sources, who wished to remain anonymous.
The decision by Helaba regarding an offer is not yet made; it will likely require approval from the German state of Hessen and the region's savings banks, which serve as co-owners. Helaba's offer is valued at more than 0.6 times the book value, the sources said. Bloomberg previously reported that Crédit Agricole is also considering an offer for IKB.
A Helaba spokesperson declined to comment. Lone Star, which has attempted to separate itself from the Düsseldorf-based IKB in the past, had no immediate comment. Lone Star has made several attempts in recent years to sever its ties with the Düsseldorf-based IKB. The bank specializes in providing specialized financing and loans to small and medium-sized enterprises.
