OREANDA-NEWS. Within the framework of preparations for starting the legal merger, the Management Board of Impexbank has decided to ask Raiffeisen International Bank-Holding AG, as its sole shareholder, to consider restructuring Impexbank through a merger with Raiffeisenbank.

The Impexbank Board has also decided to ask Raiffeisen International to take a decision on the form of the merger, and to decide other merger-related issues, by 15 March 2007.

This is one of the legally prescribed steps that need to be taken to kick off the legal-merger procedure for the integration of Impexbank into Raiffeisenbank.
