HSBC Holdings PLC HSBC said it has completed the sale of its retail banking business in France to Crédit Commercial de France (CCF), a subsidiary of My Money Group.
All necessary regulatory approvals were obtained, and the transaction was completed on January 1, 2024, the company said in a statement.
"I am delighted with this positive start to 2024 - our team in Europe will continue with the aim of becoming the leading international wholesale bank in Europe, complemented by a targeted Wealth and Private Banking business," Noel Quinn, Group CEO, said.
My Money Group, supported by Cerberus, announced its projection to exceed 30 billion euros ($33.11 billion) in total assets and secure a solvency position boasting a CET1 ratio surpassing 15% by close, a Reuters report added.
In June of the preceding year, HSBC introduced revised negotiation terms following a pause in the transaction due to concerns related to regulatory capital.
The proposed deal, initially announced by HSBC in June 2021 at a nominal price of one euro, underwent adjustments in response to regulatory considerations, it added.
Price Action: HSBC shares are trading lower by 1.11% to $40.08 premarket on the last check Tuesday.
