Helsinki, Finland, 2017-03-29 10:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  

Aktia Bank plc Stock Exchange Release 29/03/2017 at 11.00 am

 

Comments on the stock exchange release from EVRY and Samlink 29 March 2017

The companies EVRY and Samlink have today announced that EVRY has signed a letter of intent to acquire the entire share capital Oy Samlink Ab. The companies also discuss whether the 50 banks currently serviced by Samlink would select EVRY’s core banking solution as their future banking platform.

Aktia Bank has developed its own core banking system, which will be implemented step-by-step in the spring of 2017. With the implementation of its new core banking system Aktia will cease to use Samlink as main supplier of its IT systems.

Aktia owns approximately 23% of the shares in Samlink. In Aktia’s balance sheet the shares have a book value of EUR 0.

Aktia is not an active part in the on-going negotiations between EVRY and Samlink. At present it’s not possible to reliably estimate the effects of a possible transaction on Aktia’s profit and financial position.
