Banco Comercial Português, S.A. ("BCP") informs that it has received today a letter from Fosun Industrial Holdings Limited ("Fosun"), containing a firm proposal for an investment in the share capital of BCP on the terms and conditions set forth in a Proposal Guidelines of Agreement. Fosun proposes to subscribe to a private placement reserved solely to Fosun, to be resolved by BCP's board pursuant to the approval granted by BCP's shareholders in the general assembly held on 21 April 2016, through which, at current levels, Fosun would hold a shareholding of around 16.7% of the total share capital of BCP (the "Reserved Capital Increase"). Fosun is also considering increasing its stake through secondary market acquisitions or in the context of future capital increases of BCP, with an aim of potentially increasing Fosun's shareholding to 20%-30% of BCP.
Pursuant to proposal received, the execution of Fosun's investment would be subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including:
