The Proposal aims to refinance the Bonds through the issuance of New Bonds and is part of the management of Alpha Bank’s Minimum Required Eligible Liabilities (MREL) obligations.
Alpha Bank, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE and Morgan Stanley Europe SE are acting as Managers of the Offer and BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE and Morgan Stanley Europe SE have been appointed as Joint Bookrunners and Alpha Bank as Co-Manager of the issuance of the New Bonds.
