Bank Forum !! COBA stockt Anteil auff 89,3%

Frankfurt (BoerseGo.de) - Die Commerzbank hat weitere 26,25 Prozent an der ukrainischen Bank Forum erworben und somit ihren Anteil auf rund 89,3 Prozent erhöht. Die Aktien stammen aus dem indirekten Besitz von Leonid Yurushev, der mit dem Verkauf aus dem Aktionärskreis der Bank Forum ausscheidet, wie die Frankfurter Großbank am Donnerstag mitteilte. Über den Kaufpreis sowie die weiteren Details der Transaktion wurde Stillschweigen vereinbart.

Die Commerzbank hatte im März 2008 zunächst 60 Prozent der Aktien plus 1 Aktie erworben und vor der heutigen Transaktion rund 63 Prozent gehalten. Zum 31. Dezember 2009 beläuft sich das regulatorische Eigenkapital der Bank Forum auf rund 2,6 Milliarden UAH. Dies entspricht einer Kapitaladäquanz-Quote von circa 16,7 Prozent.

Commerzbank has acquired an additional 26.25% stake in Bank Forum and increased its stake to around 89.3%, paving the way for a potential capital increase at the Ukrainian lender.
Earlier, in March 2008, Commerzbank had acquired a stake of 60% plus 1 share, holding roughly 63% before the current transaction.

The transaction comes just days after the Germany-based bank participated in a capital increase at Polish unit BRE Bank and amid indications that writedowns on bad debt are still on the rise in eastern Europe.

Reportedly, Bank Forum has been weighed down by its exposure to the ailing Ukrainian economy. IMF has called on Western banks to come to the rescue of eastern Europe.

As at December 31, 2009 the regulatory capital of Bank Forum totals approximately UAH2.6bn. It corresponds to a capital adequacy ratio of roughly 16.7%.

Commerzbank aims to make a profit from its eastern European operations by 2011 after seeing investments sour after an aggressive expansion into the region.

Forum Bank

It is reported that Naftogaz, the state gas monopoly intends to borrow UAH 650 million from Forum Bank. The Bank is to provide a multicurrency revolving line of credit for 2010 to 2011 to settle Naftogaz accounts with Gazprom.

According to Millennium Capital analyst “This news is MIXED for FORM UK. The line of credit will expand the current loan book of the bank by some 4.3%, soaking up spare liquidity and generating interest income for Forum. On the other hand, the creditworthiness of the borrower, drowning in debts traditionally backed up by the state, evokes concerns.”

stake in kbro from Carlyle

Taiwan's National Communications Commission (NCC) on November 17 approved Dafu Media's acquisition of an 80% stake in kbro, currently the largest MSO (multi-system operator of cable TV) in Taiwan, from Carlyle Group, with the latter to maintain the remaining 20% stake, based on the consideration that the deal is conducive to digitization of cable TV and digital convergence in Taiwan, according to NCC.

Dafu Media is a company established by brothers Daniel Tsai and Richard Tsai, founders of the Fubon Group of which Daniel is president. The sales transaction price is about NT$64 billion (US$2.08 billion), according to industry sources. Currently, kbro operates 12 cable TV systems with 1.13 million subscribers in total, the sources noted.

NCC's approval is mainly because Dafu made a number of promises, including investment of NT$5.2 billion to gradually hike the digitization ratio of the 12 systems' subscribers from 10.6% currently to 50% in 2015 and 74% in 2017 as well as decrease service charge rates to or below the average for all MSOs, the sources pointed out. Other promises regard maintenance of fair market competition and prevention of a market monopoly.
