Sale of 47.5% of BOS to environment protection fund near

"PKO BP will not create a strategic partnership with BOS. This is a safety-valve for NFOSiGW if the negotiations with potential partners willing to buy shares from SEB will be delayed. In this case, part of the stake would be taken over by PKO BP. If the Fund reaches agreement with the new investor, the largest retail bank would sell the shares," said a person close to the project. "We are not commenting on the issue of BOS," said Marek Klucinski, spokesman of PKO BP. It is hard to find out who made the decision about the involvement of PKO BPin the transaction and according to Puls Biznesu, the only link is Slawomir Skrzypek, PKO BP management board member and head of the supervisory board of NFOSiGW. The Fund has until 15 July to purchase the shares in BOS from SEB. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 10) M.M.
