The Chief Executive Officer of CrediaBank, Eleni Vrettou, has rung the bell today at the Athens Stock Exchange, marking the first trading session of CrediaBank’s new shares, following its highly successful capital increase.
The ceremony took place in a celebratory atmosphere, underscoring CrediaBank’s strong momentum and the robust confidence of the investment community, as evidenced by the 3.8 times oversubscription of its €300 million share capital increase, with total demand exceeding €1.1 billion.
Following the opening remarks of the representatives of the Athens Stock Exchange and the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, Eleni Vrettou, CrediaBank’s CEO, stated: ‘’Today, we ring the bell, marking a moment of special symbolism: the transition from a period of restructuring to a new phase of growth and extroversion.
“The successful completion of the share capital increase with broad participation from high-profile investors in Greece and abroad as well as thousands of retail investors, confirms in practice the market’s confidence in our strategy. In a period of geopolitical instability, this trust is twice as valuable and an even greater responsibility for us.
“A big and sincere ‘’thank you’’ goes to the entire CrediaBank team, which over the past three years has gone above and beyond, helping us surpass ourselves and achieve goals that once seemed impossible; to our shareholders and partners for their continuous support and trust; and to our new investors, who have recognized our achievements and support our plans for the future.
“The significant strengthening of our capital position through this transaction enables us to accelerate our growth trajectory, creating a strong, internationally oriented banking institution with expanding prospects. But we are not stopping here. We remain committed to one goal: to be the best bank for everyone’’.
CrediaBank continues to execute its business plan with discipline, focusing on creating long-term value for shareholders, strengthening its presence in international markets and supporting the real economy.
