    School of Economics & Business Administration Master of Science in Management “MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS IN THE GREEK BANKING SECTOR.” Panolis Dimitrios 1102100134 Teti Kondyliana Iliana 1102100002 30th September 2010 Acknowledgements We would like to thank our families for their continuous economic and psychological support and our colleagues in EFG Eurobank Ergasias Bank and Marfin Egnatia Bank for their noteworthy contribution to our research. Last but not least, we would like to thank our academic advisor Dr. Lida Kyrgidou, for her significant assistance and contribution. Panolis Dimitrios Teti Kondyliana Iliana ii Abstract M&As is a phenomenon that first appeared in the beginning of the 20th century, increased during the first decade of the 21st century and is expected to expand in the foreseeable future. The current global crisis is one of the most determining factors affecting M&As‟ expansion. The scope of this dissertation is to examine the M&As that occurred in the Greek banking context, focusing primarily on the managerial dimension associated with the phenomenon, taking employees‟ perspective with regard to M&As into consideration. Two of the largest banks in Greece, EFG EUROBANK ERGASIAS and MARFIN EGNATIA BANK, which have both experienced M&As, serve as the platform for the current study. Our results generate important theoretical and managerial implications and contribute to the applicability of the phenomenon, while providing insight with regard to M&As‟ future within the next years.

  • Banking Problems in the Northeast
    Chapter 10 BankingBanking ProblemsProblems inin thethe NortheastNortheast Introduction The banking problems in the Northeast were indissoluble from the regions real estate problems.1 Fueled by a strong regional economy, both residential and commercial real es- tate markets in the region boomed during the 1980s, but the boom eventually led to over- building and rampant real estate speculation. Late in the decade, when the regional economy weakened and a high volume of new construction projects coincided with dimin- ished demand, the real estate market boom turned into a bust. During the early 1990s, an oversupply of completed projects came on the market and real estate prices went into a sharp decline. In an environment of increased real estate loan defaults, a significant number of northeastern banks failed: 16 in 1990, 52 in 1991, and 43 in 1992.2 These failures ac- counted for substantial portions of the nations total volume of failed-bank assets and of the FDICs bank-failure resolution costs for those years. Losses from northeastern bank failures totaled $1.3 billion in 1990, $5.5 billion in 1991, and $2.8 billion in 1992and constituted 45 percent, 91 percent, and 77 percent, respectively, of total FDIC failure-resolution costs for those years. Failures were particularly prominent in 1991, when assets of failed banks represented 25.4 percent of prior year-end banking assets in New Hampshire, 18.3 percent in Connecticut, 15.2 percent in Maine, and 12.0 percent in Massachusetts.3 The 1991 failure of three subsidiaries of the Bank of New England Corporation (the Bank of New England, Connecticut Bank and Trust Co., and the Maine National Bank), a failure which many would identify as the last major failure of the banking crises of the 1980s and early 1990s, was especially significant.

  • Campaign to Oppose Bank Loans to South Africa
    CAMPAIGN TO OPPOSE BANK LOANS TO SOUTH AFRICA 198 Broadway, Room 402, New York, N.Y. 10038 (212) 962-1210 November, 1979 Dear Friend: Enc 1osed p1 eas·e find a brochure from the Campaign to Oppose Bank Loans to South Afri~a (COBLSA). This is a coalition of church, trade union, student and other community organizations in the United States--there are similaFmovements in Canada and Europe--that are working towards the end of bank loans to South Africa. South Africa is the only country in the world that still practices legalized and institutionalized racism. This policy is called apartheid (absolute apartness of blacks and -whites). The Campaign is sponsored by Clergy and Laity Concerned (CALC) and the American Committee on Africa (ACOA). Several kinds of actions have been taken against the banks making loans to South Africa. They include withdrawal of accounts, pension funds, picketing, leafleting and meeting with bank executives (see brochure). In the past two years $275 million has been withdrawn by individuals and organizations from banks lending to South Africa. The brochure lists--state by state--the banks and brokerage houses responsible for these loans. We are appealing to you to use this brochure as a source of information and encourage you to take actions such as: *Asking your bank manager whether any loans are made to South Africa, and if so, to whom and when they were made; *Find out what is your bank's policy regarding loans to Sputh Africa; *Ask where your organization--church or union--deposits its funds and . *Find out where your pension fund is invested.

  • Forewordoreword
    FForewordoreword Shortly after her confirmation, then-Chairman Ricki R. Helfer directed the FDICs staff to undertake this study. She strongly believed that a careful examination and analysis of the banking crises of the 1980s and early 1990s would provide information that would allow the FDIC to better fulfill its mission. The banking problems of the period were of a magnitude not seen since the Great Depression and the advent of federal deposit insurance and therefore provide a unique win- dow through which we can study the causes of, and the regulatory and supervisory response to, sharply increased numbers of bank failures in a modern economic and banking environ- ment. There have, of course, been significant changes since the early 1990s in the perfor- mance and structure of the banking industry. Moreover, in the wake of the banking crises and subsequent legislative reforms, changes in the supervisory process have attempted to ensure improved monitoring of bank risk and more timely intervention in, and closure of, troubled banks. But not all the issues raised by the problems of the 19801994 period have been laid to rest. Moreover, the current improved condition of the industry and the supervi- sory changes of the late 1980s and early 1990s do not mean that banking problems cannot return sometime in the future. Although it is clear that the problems of the past are unlikely to be precisely repeated in the future, the study of these recent crises is nevertheless in- structive. At the very least, the history of the turbulent time in banking should teach us that we cannot afford to be complacent, and the FDIC hopes this study that glances backward will be helpful as we look forward.

PREEMPTION & SUPPLEMENTATION UNDER REVISED 1-103: THE ROLE OF COMMON LAW & EQUITY IN THE NEW U.C.C. Sarah Howard Jenkins* NALOGIZED as being as central to the U.C.C. as a "hub" is to a wheel, Article 1 is an integral part of the Uniform Commercial Code.' Called a "sleeper" article by some and "inconsequential" by others, the provisions of Article 1 should instead be viewed as a "silent stalker" lurking in the shadows of every transaction and as relevant to the transaction as the applicable article.2 Although it is an extremely short article, the revision of Article 1 is a significant undertaking; the resulting product will impact all commercial transactions within the scope of one of the specific articles.3 One of the Article's rules of construction is of para- mount significance in understanding the rights and obligations of com- mercial parties but is often overlooked.
