RNS Number : 2639E IRF European Fin Investments Ltd 25 September 2008 IRF European Finance Investments Ltd 25 September 2008 IRF European Finance Investments Ltd ('IRF' or the 'Company') IRF sells interest in Proton Bank IRF confirms that it has sold 10 million shares in Proton Bank for a gross sales price of EUR65 million. The consideration for this disposal is in the form of cash. Following IRF's disposal of these shares in Proton Bank, IRF holds approximately 2.9 million shares in Proton Bank, representing an interest of approximately 4.65%. Ms. Angeliki Frangou, Chairman of IRF stated "IRF took advantage of an opportunity to sell these shares in Proton at a 10% premium to the market closing price as of 24 September 2008. Given the significant volatility affecting financial institutions, we determined to dispose of a significant portion of our investment in Proton". IRF originally acquired a 28% interest in the Proton Group in June of 2006. Subsequently, Proton Group merged with Omega Bank, and IRF's interest in the merged entity was reduced to approximately 20%. The proceeds from the sale will be retained by the Company for future acquisitions or investments.
