The securitizations of Attica Bank's "Domus" and "Rhodium" non-performing loan portfolios, with a total book value of approximately EUR 3.7 billion, were successfully completed, following the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the provision of a guarantee by the Greek State ("Heracles III").
The bank holds 100% of the senior bonds of both securitizations, totaling approximately €1.2 billion, as well as 5% of the mezzanine and junior bonds, while the remaining 95% of the mezzanine and junior bonds are allocated to an entity advised by Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, while Cepal Hellas manages the above portfolios.
The above transactions represent a benchmark for the bank as they contributed to the full consolidation of its balance sheet and the achievement of a non-performing loan ratio of 2.8%. The bank's now clean balance sheet, combined with the equity adequacy achieved through the recent capital increase, allows the bank to focus on financing the Greek economy and entrepreneurship.
On the occasion of the completion of the transactions, Attica Bank's Chief Strategy Officer Mr. Evangelos Kanelis said, "These transactions demonstrate in practice our commitment to resolving past problems and aligning with the broader objective of the Greek financial system to substantially reduce non-performing exposures. The completion of the securitizations is a milestone for the bank and a significant achievement in our ongoing efforts to strengthen the balance sheet, improve the quality of the portfolio, and sustainably grow the bank for years to come. We will continue our efforts to improve our operating model by pursuing customer-centric solutions that will enable us to serve our customers in the best possible way and support economic growth."
