Dexia finalizes the sale of its subsidiary Dexia banka Slovensko to Penta
Dexia announces today that it sold its 88.71% stake in Dexia banka Slovensko to the Central European
investment group Penta Investments. All regulatory approvals were obtained from the antimonopoly Office
SR and the National Bank of Slovakia.
The closing of this transaction follows the agreement reached with Penta and announced on 11 November

Dexia finalise la vente de sa filiale Dexia banka Slovensko à Penta
Dexia annonce aujourd’hui avoir vendu sa participation de 88,71 % dans Dexia banka Slovensko à Penta
Investments, un groupe d’investissement basé en Europe centrale. Le bureau anti-monopole slovaque et la
Banque nationale de Slovaquie ont accordé toutes les autorisations réglementaires.

Slovensko avant le 31 octobre 2012 au plus tard.
L’impact total de la transaction sur les comptes de Dexia sera évalué lorsque le jugement final concernant le
litige avec Ritro Finance aura été rendu.
