GRUPO BANCOLOMBIA ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF CONTROL OF BANCO AGROMERCANTIL OF GUATEMALA – BAM AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

 

Medellin, Colombia, September 11, 2015

 

 

Bancolombia announces that its subsidiary, Bancolombia Panama S.A., has signed an agreement with BAM Financial Corporation (“BFC”) for the acquisition of an additional 20% of the common stock, which will represent a controlling stake of 60% in Grupo Agromercantil Holding S.A. (“GAH”), a Panamanian company that owns the Conglomerado Financiero Agromercantil of Guatemala, which includes Banco Agromercantil of Guatemala (“BAM”).

 

The purchase price will be determined at closing pursuant to the methodology established in the initial agreements, and will be based on the audited consolidated financial statements of GAH as of December 31, 2015.

 

The acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including receipt of the required regulatory approvals. The transaction is aligned with Grupo Bancolombia’s strategic interest in the Guatemalan financial services business and develops the shareholders agreement disclosed to the market in 2012.
