Today it was announced that the Danish Finanstilsynet, Denmark's equivalent to the Financial Supervisory Authority, approves SaveLend Group's ("SaveLend Group" or "the Company") acquisition of Lunar Bank A/S ("Lunar") P2P business. Through the decision, the condition that was the basis for the deal has been met, and the acquisition can be carried out according to plan. Migration of customers is expected to take place during the summer and the Company will announce when this has happened.
The acquisition includes all customer relations with investors and borrowers within Lunar’s P2P operations. In connection with the migration, the capital on the savings platform SaveLend will increase by SEK 450 million. No purchase price is paid upon entry, instead, a performance-based compensation will be paid to Lunar of 50% of actual earnings during the period 2023-2027 from the active investments taken over.
“We are extremely pleased to now be able to move forward and complete this acquisition that we have been working on for a long time. The team and I are really looking forward to welcoming the new investors and borrowers to our platform! The acquisition is also an excellent opportunity for us to clearly prove our scalability, both technically and organizationally," says Ludwig Pettersson, CEO of SaveLend Group.
