Slavonska Banka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From late 1995 to 1997, Slavonska Banka entered a phase of restructuring led by the Croatian State Agency for Bank Rehabilitation and Deposit Insurance (Državna Agencija za osiguranja štednih uloga i sanaciju Banaka, DAB), which took 35 percent of its equity; the DAB simultaneously restructured Privredna Banka Zagreb, Riječka Banka, and Splitska Banka.[1] In August 1998, a majority stake in Slavonska Banka was acquired by Kärntner Landes- und Hypothekenbank together with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD),[2] marking the effective start of banking sector privatization in Croatia.[3]: 9 In 2004, Kärntner Landes- und Hypothekenbank was renamed as Hypo Alpe Adria Bank.
In September 2007, Bayerische Landesbank acquired majority ownership in both both Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank Croatia and Slavonska Banka.[4] By then, Slavonska Banka was the ninth-largest bank in Croatia.[5] In 2009, Slavonska Banka was fully absorbed by Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank Croatia, still majority-owned by Bayerische Landesbank.[6]
In late 2014, it was announced that Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG, the Austrian entity that owned Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank Croatia together with other operations in Southeast Europe, would be acquired by private equity firm Advent International together with the EBRD.[7] The transaction as completed in 2015, when the network was rebranded as Addiko Bank.[8]: 3
