This Company Announcement follows from what was announced in Company Announcement FIM195 which announced that 115 shareholders holding 30.36% of the total Issued Share Capital of FIMBank accepted the Joint Voluntary Bid launched on the 9 December 2013 by Burgan Bank S.A.K. ("Burgan") and United Gulf Bank's ("UGB") (together, the "Offerors") and, as a result of such acceptances, the aggregate shareholding of the Offerors reached 80.14% of the total Issued Share Capital of FIMBank, thus reducing the percentage of shares in the hands of the public below the threshold of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Issued Share Capital required by the Listing Rules.

The Board of Directors of FIMBank met yesterday, 29 January 2014, and unanimously resolved to request the Listing Authority's approval to remain listed on the Malta Stock Exchange notwithstanding that the proportion of the class of ordinary shares admitted to listing on the Malta Stock Exchange ('MSE') in the hands of the public has fallen below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Issued Share Capital.
