KBC Bank Ireland has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bank of Ireland, expressing the parties’ intention to explore a route that could potentially lead to a transaction whereby Bank of Ireland commits to acquire substantially all of KBC Bank Ireland’s performing loan assets and liabilities. The transaction remains subject to customary due diligence, further negotiation and agreement of final terms and binding documentation, as well as obtaining all appropriate internal and external regulatory approvals.

KBC Bank Ireland’s remaining non-performing mortgage loan portfolio (NPL), which is not part of the MoU, is currently being analysed whereby KBC Group is reviewing its options to divest this NPL portfolio.

Execution of these two transactions would ultimately result in KBC Group’s withdrawal from the Irish market. Further announcements will be made in due course.
