Our firm advised National Bank of Greece in the disposal of a 22% stake in NBG by the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund, valued at approximately €1.1 billion; the largest Greek Equity Capital Market transaction in the last two years and the largest secondary placement in Greece since 2005.

The transaction was significantly oversubscribed (8.9x and 2.9x for the international and Greek books, respectively) and was completed through (i) a concurrent FMO and a public offering to retail and institutional investors in Greece and (ii) a private placement to professional investors outside Greece.

Our core team comprised Partners Catherine Karatzas and Alexandra Kondyli, Senior Associate Maria Chronaki and Associate Dimitris Passas.

Sincere thanks to our client, for their trust and seamless collaboration on a landmark transaction for NBG and the Greek market.
