Hana says to discuss with Lone Star to extend KEB takeover deal

Published Updated

It came after the country's regulator delayed a review on whether Lone Star is fit to be KEB's top shareholder, putting again the country's biggest banking acquisition deal in doubt.

"Delaying a decision does not mean that the stake purchase deal is falling apart and we will seek various solutions including legal interpretation," a company spokesman said.
