Following recent media reports and a related inquiry from the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, Piraeus Group clarifies that, as part of its strategy to enhance shareholder value and diversify its business model, it systematically examines potential investment alternatives that could positively contribute to its profitability and the efficiency of its capital structure.

In this context, according to the relevant announcement confirming the “dark room” column, the group is currently assessing and evaluating various potential investments in sectors linked to the financial industry, including wealth management and insurance companies, among them National Insurance.

In any case, any potential transaction currently under evaluation must align with the announced distribution plan and the group’s broader investment criteria, aiming to enhance Piraeus Group’s growth prospects while further strengthening the diversification of its business model.

“Piraeus Financial Holdings will promptly inform the investment community in accordance with applicable regulations should a reportable event arise,” the group’s announcement concludes.
