Barclays PLC
DISPOSAL OF GERMAN CONSUMER FINANCE BUSINESS
Barclays
PLC ("Barclays") today announces that Barclays Bank Ireland PLC
("Barclays Europe") has agreed the sale of certain assets and
liabilities, which together comprise its German consumer finance
business ("Consumer Bank Europe") to BAWAG P.S.K., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of BAWAG Group AG ("BAWAG"). This is another example of
disciplined execution against the plan presented at our Investor
Update on 20 February 2024.
Consumer
Bank Europe is a diversified retail banking business, with
established credit card, consumer loan and deposit franchises
serving customers in the German and Austrian markets. As at 31
March 2024, Consumer Bank Europe had gross assets of €4.7bn,
primarily comprising card and loan receivables.
BAWAG
P.S.K. will acquire Consumer Bank Europe for a small premium to net
assets, payable in cash on completion. The sale is expected to
release c.€4.0bn of RWAs, increasing Barclays' CET1 ratio by
c.10bps on completion. Completion of the sale, which is subject to
certain conditions, including regulatory approvals and the sanction
of the relevant courts, is expected to occur within six to nine
months. The timing of completion does not impact Barclays'
previously announced capital return plans.
Francesco
Ceccato, CEO, Barclays Europe said: "The sale of Consumer Bank
Europe aligns with our ambition to simplify Barclays. In BAWAG, we
believe we have found a strong and committed owner for the
business' journey forwards. This transaction will also allow
Barclays Europe to focus on its Corporate and Investment Banking
and Private Banking businesses. We remain committed to our broader
German and European operations and look forward to continued growth
in the region during 2024 and beyond."
