2.4.1 Business combinations
Detailed accounting principles concerning the settlement of the acquisition transactions are presented in point 5.4.
In 2016, PZU Group acquired the basic activity of Bank BPH and 4 entities providing medical services.
Acquisition of the Core Business of Bank BPH is compliant with the growth strategy of Alior Bank that projects development based on organic growth and acquisitions, in conjunction with high return on equity. As a result of the acquisition of the Core Business of Bank BPH, Alior Bank was promoted to the 9th place among the largest banks in Poland in terms of asset held. The transaction brought Alior Bank closer to the realization of a strategic goal which is joining the group of 5–6 largest banks in Poland in the next couple of years.
The acquisition of entities rendering health care services (in 2016: Centrum Medyczne Cordis sp. z o.o., Polmedic sp. z o.o., SPMP, and Artimed) has aimed to supplement PZU Group’s offer concerning health services and insurance. Development of the offer regarding health care services and health insurance is one of the key elements of the strategy pursued by PZU Group. Provision of some services in own institutions will allow for the increase in competitiveness of PZU Group on this market. The goodwill recognized in the consolidated financial statements is an outcome of the planned growth of this segment of services and the volume of benefits generated by health insurance whilst increasing the profitability of those services, as a result of leaving part of the margin in PZU Group.
2.4.1.1 Acquisition of the core business of Bank BPH
On 31 March 2016, Alior Bank (a subsidiary of PZU) signed with GE Investment Poland sp. z o.o. (GEIP), DRB Holdings B.V. and Selective American Financial Enterprises, LLC (together, “the Sellers of Bank BPH”) a sale of shares and division agreement concerning the purchase of the core activity of the bank (“Sale of Shares and Division Agreement”).
The Sale of Shares and Division Agreement covered:
- acquisition of the shares constituting a significant share in Bank BPH from the Sellers of Bank BPH by Alior Bank;
- division of Bank BPH, which is pursuant to Article 529 §1 point 4 of the Code of Commercial Companies, performed through transferring the core activity of Bank BPH to Alior Bank (“the Division”) and
- issue of new Alior Bank shares for the Bank BPH shareholders indicated in the plan of the division (i.e. excluding Alior Bank and the Sellers of Bank BPH and their related parties).
According to the Sale of Shares and Division Agreement, Alior Bank purchased the Core Activity of Bank BPH. The acquisition took place on 4 November 2016, the date of registering by the registry court the increase in Alior Bank share capital in relation to the division of Bank BPH.
Price
In the current report as at 2 August 2016, Alior Bank informed about determining the adjusted acquisition price of the Core Activity of Bank BPH in the amount of PLN 1,160 million. The price was established on the basis of the book value of net assets of the Core Business of Bank BPH less intangible assets as at 30 June 2016.
As a result of the call and compulsory purchase, Alior Bank paid also PLN 305 million to minority shareholders of Bank BPH.
Hence, the price paid for the Core Business of Bank BPH amounted in total to PLN 1,465 million.
The final settlement between Alior Bank and the Sellers of Bank BPH is based on the book value of net assets of the basic activity of Bank BPH minus intangibles as at 4 November 2016.
This was used by Alior Bank to assess the right to return of the previously made payment of PLN 93 million from the Sellers of Bank BPH. Furthermore, Alior Bank assessed the right to return of the previously made payment for adjustment of net assets to the level equivalent to Tier 1 ratio of 13.25% to the amount of PLN 52 million. The arrangement are being made between the parties to the transaction and as the result the parties will confirm the book value of net assets of the Core Business of Bank BPH less intangible assets. To the date of the consolidated financial statements, the parties have not reached the final settlement of the transaction. Provided that no agreement is made in this matter by the agreed date, the Agreement for Sale of Shares and Division sets forth that discrepancies between Alior Bank and the Sellers of Alior Bank be settled by an expert, that is an auditing company appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement for Sale of Shares and Division. The decision made by the expect shall be valid for both parties.
