Following our announcement of 1 February 2007, through which we informed the investors and the regulators with respect to the entering into of an agreement for the purchase of 51% of the First Business Bank, we would like to clarify that the purchase price for the above purchase is calculated as 2.9 times the book value of FBB as at 31 December 2006, on the basis of its respective annual statements, always subject to the findings of the legal and financial due diligence that Aspis Bank will effect on FBB.
