Central Government buys the National Local Government Pension Fund (KLP)’s ownership stake in Kommunalbanken AS
Staten kjøper Kommunal Landspensjonskasse (KLP) sin eierandel i Kommunalbanken AS
On the 7 May 2009, The Ministry for Local Government and Regional Development has entered into an agreement with KLP with regard to the purchase of KLP’s ownership stake in Kommunalbanken AS.
Kommunal - og regionaldepartementet har 7. mai 2009 inngått avtale med KLP om kjøp av KLP sin eierandel i Kommunalbanken AS.
The purchase price is set at NOK 528.3 million.
Prisen er satt til 528.3 millioner kroner.
There can be some minor adjustment in the price.
Det kan bli mindre justeringer i prisen.
The purchase is subject to approval by Parliament.
Kjøpet er gjort betinget av Stortingets samtykke.
- I am very glad that we now have two clearly focused and competing entities in the market for local government lending.
- Jeg er veldig glad for at vi nå får to tydelige og konkurrerende aktører i utlånsmarkedet for kommunene.
- I am very happy with the solution that Eksportfinans has found with regard to Kommunekreditt.
- Jeg er godt fornøyd med løsningen Eksportfinans har funnet for Kommunekreditt.
The Government promised last autumn to give its support in finding a solution that would ensure continued cost effective financing for the municipalities.
Regjeringen lovet i fjor høst aktiv støtte til å finne en løsning som bidrar til å sikre fortsatt gode lånemuligheter for kommunene.
We now have that in place, said Minister of Trade and Industry Sylvia Brustad.
Det har vi fått på plass nå, sier nærings- og handelsminister Sylvia Brustad.
The purchase price for KLP’s ownership share is based on the following:
Prisen for KLP sin eierandel på 20 prosent bygger ifølge avtalen på:
Book value as of 31 March 2009
bokført verdi per 31. mars 2009
A goodwill consideration of NOK 6,609,808
godtgjørelse for goodwill på 6 609 808 kroner
In addition to the fixed price, there will be an interest payment equivalent to 3 month Nibor for the period from 31 March 2009 until the purchase is formally approved.
I tillegg til den fastsatte prisen vil det komme et rentetillegg tilsvarende 3-måneders Nibor fra 31. mars 2009 og fram til oppgjør finner sted.
Kommunalbanken’s mandate is to lend to the local government sector.
Kommunalbankens formål er å gi lån til kommunal sektor.
At the end of 2008, the institution had a market share of 41 per cent.
Banken hadde ved utgangen av 2008 en andel av samlede lån til kommunesektoren på knapt 41 prosent.
Kommunalbanken’s lending volume to the local government sector at the end of 2008 was NOK 118 billion.
Kommunalbankens utlån til norske kommuner var ved utgangen av 2008 på om lag 118 milliarder kroner.
The institution’s net annual result after tax in 2008 was NOK 390 million.
Bankens resultat etter skatt var i 2008 på 390 millioner kroner.
The background for the Central Government’s purchase of KLP’s ownership stake in Kommunalbanken AS is that KLP has entered into an agreement with Eksportfinans ASA with regard to the purchase of Kommunekreditt Norge AS.
Bakgrunnen for statens kjøp av KLP sin eierandel i Kommunalbanken AS er at KLP har inngått avtale med Eksportfinans ASA om kjøp av Kommunekreditt Norge AS.
Until now, Kommunekreditt has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Eksportfinans, which itself is partially owned by the Central Government.
Kommunekreditt har vært et heleid datterselskap av Eksportfinans der staten er medeier.
KLP’s purchase of Kommunekreditt Norge AS means that KLP, as the owner of Kommunekreditt, will become an important competitor for Kommunalbanken AS.
KLP sitt kjøp av Kommunekreditt Norge AS innebærer at KLP fremover gjennom sitt eierskap av Kommunekreditt, vil bli en viktig konkurrent til Kommunalbanken AS.
For the past six months, Kommunekreditt Norge AS has not been able to offer new loans to the counties and municipalities.
Det siste halvåret har Kommunekreditt Norge AS ikke hatt anledning til å gi nye lån til kommuner og fylkeskommuner.
Kommunekreditt’s situation has limited the competition for and access to loans for the Norwegian municipalities.
Kommunekreditt sin situasjon har begrenset konkurransen og tilgangen på lån til norske kommuner.
KLP’s purchase of Kommunekreditt from Eksportfinans ASA will lay the foundations for Kommunekreditt to regain its position as an important provider of loans to the Norwegian municipalties.
KLP sitt kjøp av kommunekreditt fra Eksportfinans ASA vil kunne legge forholdene til rette for at Kommunekreditt igjen blir en viktig leverandør av lån til norske kommuner.
The Central Government has engaged Arctic Securities ASA as financial adviser and Wiersholm as legal adviser in connection with the negotiations.
