Austria's Raiffeisen Offers to Acquire Addiko Bank for $524 Million
Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI), a Vienna-based financial group, has announced a takeover bid for its smaller peer, Addiko Bank. The offer values Addiko at approximately 449.5 million euros ($524.2 million), proposing a cash payment of 23.05 euros per share. This valuation represents a 20% premium over the intrinsic equity value determined by an external assessment but is nearly 13% lower than Addiko's recent closing price. The strategic move aims to significantly expand RBI's market footprint across Central and Southeastern Europe. The announcement was made late Wednesday, marking a significant consolidation event in the Austrian banking sector.
