Comp Rzeszów looks to strengthen position in small banks

The figure will stand at zł.111 million in 2004. Adam Góral, who holds 42% of Comp Rzeszów, denies that purchasing Epsilio would be a poor investment and of only benefit to the seller, Softbank, which controls 17.5% of Comp's shares. "If the results of the due diligence turn out to be unfavorable, than we will withdraw from the transaction," explained Góral. He also added that Comp would strengthen its position in the small and medium sized banks sector because of the acquisition. Currently the firm controls 35% of IT services for cooperative banks, while the figure is likely to increase to 60%. The firm will also expand its presence abroad. (Parkiet, p. 5) M.M.
