Following completion of the deal, RBI’s risk-weighted assets are projected to shrink by about EUR270m, which is due by the first half of 2016.
RBI said that the deal will have a minimal negative effect on its CET1 ratio.
RBI in a statement said: "The expected deconsolidation effect on RBI’s consolidated result will amount to minus EUR 49 million. This will be booked in the fourth quarter of 2015 and forms a part of the restructuring costs already communicated in RBI’s official outlook."
