Advent International Corporation, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registered corporation established under the laws of Delaware, previously held a participation interest equal to 77.83% of the share capital of AI Lake (Luxembourg) Holding S.à r.l., which indirectly held shares representing 44.99% of the share capital of Addiko Bank AG. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) previously held a minority interest equal to 18.67% of the share capital of AI Lake (Luxembourg) Holding S.à r.l. Due to a reorganization EBRD has swapped its entire current stake in AI Lake (Luxembourg) Holding S.à r.l. for a pro rata number of shares in Addiko Bank AG. So on 4 March 2020, the participation interest held by EBRD in AI Lake (Luxembourg) Holding S.à r.l. has been fully redeemed by the latter and the relevant redemption price has been settled by transferring to EBRD 1,638,443 shares of Addiko Bank AG, representing 8.40% of the share capital of the same, to EBRD.
