Korea Exchange Bank’s profit suffer from pending buyout

The Bank posted a significant 63% drop in its 3Q11 profit after Lone Star Funds announced it would sell its stake to Hana Financial Group.

According to Bloomberg, “Lone Star Funds’ Korea Exchange Bank posted a 63 percent drop in third-quarter profit because of increased provisions, a week after the U.S. firm was told it would have to sell its stake in the lender.”

Bloomberg added that the Bank’s net income declined to 117 billion won ($104 million) from a restated 319.3 billion won a year earlier.

More than two-thirds of workers at KEB plan to oppose Lone Star’s proposed $4 billion sale of its stake to Hana Financial Group Inc., noted Bloomberg.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
