Following the litigation process against the Bank by Mr. Jušte Puharić, the Bank submits this information in order to transparently inform the investment public and eliminate possible adverse effects and speculations that might arise from publication of incomplete and inaccurate information, as well as their interpretation, which has the sole purpose of damaging the standing and the reputation of the Bank.
With regard to media publications on the initiated foreclosure of the Bank's assets following the verdict against HPB in the litigation, the Bank points out that this has no impact on the Bank's operations and has no material impact on the value of its assets, capitalization and financial position as a whole. Also, the investment funds' assets are fully protected in relation to this and all other potential court proceedings that involve HPB Invest and the Bank.
In addition to having stable operations and achieving targeted results in all business segments, the Bank has formed a provision for this litigation process amounting to the total disputed value, i.e. HRK 12,677,296.29 together with the corresponding legal default interest and litigation costs. The aforementioned provision is recorded in the financial statements for the first half of 2021, with the amount of the claim, the corresponding legal default interest and costs being less than 1% of the average daily balance of liquid funds available to the Bank.
The Bank has yet to exhaust all the legal options available to it in order to protect its assets from the execution of the verdict, for which it believes there is a possibility of success. When all legal options have been exhausted or success in challenging verdict is no longer likely, the Bank will comply with its obligations at the given time."
