OREANDA-NEWS. June 06, 2013. According to the NBM, 7 foreign legal entities registered in Cyprus, Latvia and Great Britain bought the shares of Moldova-Agroindbank within the period of May-June. Each of them got the block of shares not less than 5% of equity capital.

The NBM should not give its permission for these individual operations. As a result, these companies got 30.23% of equity capital. Now, the NB investigates the case; the corresponding requests were sent to the companies to provide the necessary information about the transactions, about their companies history, owners, administration, blocks of shares of other legal entities, etc. The deadline to provide all the info is the 10th of June.

If it is proved that the shareholders got the block of shares of Moldova-Agroindbank in agreement with no preliminary permit of the NBM, then the authorities of these shareholders will be stopped. The NBM informs that the recent transactions with the shares affected Moldova-Agroindbank’s activity insignificantly. The NBM also calls on Moldova-Agroindbank to comment the situation more carefully in Mass Media.
