Back in May, a potential foreign investor sent documents to the National Bank regarding the intention to acquire a significant stake in “Sens Bank”, but sent additional documents already after its nationalization.

The NBU reported this in response to a request from the European Parliament.

The NBU received separate documents on the intention of a potential foreign investor to acquire a significant stake in “Sens Bank” (formerly “Alfa-Bank Ukraine”) on May 25 of this year. The submitted documents, the regulator says, contained significant inconsistencies with Ukrainian legislation and NBU regulations.

In addition, in view of the sanctions imposed on the shareholders of Sense Bank, the sale of shares of the bank or stakes in companies that owned Sense Bank would be contrary to the imposed restrictions. And there would also be signs of actions aimed at circumventing sanctions.

“All of the above precluded the possibility of making a decision on the merits of the appeal, and the National Bank did not make any decisions based on the results of consideration of the specified documents,” the NBU explains.

Subsequently, already after the nationalization of Sens Bank, additional documents were submitted by the same potential investor.

“Taking into account, in particular, the transfer of ownership rights to the shares of JSC “SENS BANK” in favor of the state, the NBU has no grounds for considering these documents,” the regulator summarized and added that they did not receive documents about the intention of other persons to enter the capital of the bank after its nationalization .

The NBU also noted that it has not received any lawsuits or intentions to file a lawsuit in Ukrainian or international courts regarding the appeal of the process of withdrawing “Sens Bank” from the market and its subsequent nationalization.

We remind you:

The nominal owner of the shares of “Sens Bank” (until December 2022 – “Alfa-Bank”) ABH Holdings SA stated that in case of nationalization of the bank without compensation to ABHH in excess of the nominal amount will turn to the international court.
