“This transaction is an important step forward in Novo Banco’s divestment strategy of non core assets whilst focusing in its core domestic banking activity,” Novo Banco said in a statement.
The closure of the deal will lead to a significant positive impact on the common equity tier 1 ratio of Novo Banco, the Portuguese lender said.
Novo Banco was created in August 2014 by the Bank of Portugal to rescue assets and liabilities of failed lender Banco Espírito Santo.
