The additional capital will enable further active crediting of the economy, consolidation within the Nova KBM Group, and form a sound basis for further implementation of the Group's ambitious strategy. . The projected increase in capital is also in compliance with the Bank of Slovenia's requirement for commercial banks to strengthen their share capital. According to Nova KBM plans, the existing shareholders will have a pre-emptive right to subscribe for new shares.
In terms of turnover and market capitalization of listed companies, WSE is the leading stock market in the region of Central and Eastern Europe. Nova KBM shares are listed on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange since December 2007 and the additional listing on WSE would allow the Bank to access a larger pool of investors.
