CrediaBank Confirms Exclusive Discussions with the Shareholders of Pantelakis Securities Regarding the Potential Acquisition of a Majority Shareholding in Pantelakis Securities S.A.
Athens, 18 December 2025
CrediaBank S.A. (hereinafter "CrediaBank" or the "Bank") hereby confirms that it has entered into exclusive discussions with the shareholders of Pantelakis Securities S.A. (the "Company" or "Pantelakis" or the "Target") for the potential acquisition of a 70.0% stake in the Company (the "Transaction"), including also a Call and Put Option for the acquisition of the remaining 30.0% of the Company's shares three years after the completion of the envisaged Transaction. The Transaction does not include the sale of Shares owned by Pantelakis (50%) in AssetWise SA, a leading portfolio and asset management company.
No definitive agreement has been reached at the time of publication of this announcement and there is no guarantee that the ongoing discussions will result in the execution of a definitive transaction agreement. Any potential transaction would be subject to several conditions, including all necessary regulatory approvals and confirmatory due diligence to be carried out by the Bank.
If the transaction proceeds to completion, which is expected by the end of Q1 '26, CrediaBank will finance it with its own resources, while it is expected to have minor impact on its capital position.
The Transaction underpins the Bank's strategy to expand and upgrade its product proposition to its customers while it is expected to enhance its fee income and further diversify the fee revenue pools, with significant upside potential.
Pantelakis was founded in 1920 by the Pantelakis family and is well established as one of the oldest names and market leaders in the Greek brokerage industry. Pantelakis Securities is a member of the Athens Stock Exchange and provides brokerage and Equity Capital Market (ECM) services to both Private and Institutional clients in the Greek equities, Bond and Derivatives markets, while also providing access to all major international equities and derivatives markets.
