Announced acquisition of 100% of MedMera Bank, a Swedish consumer finance bank, for SEK 1,960m, with closing expected in early Q3 2026.
Financing includes new share issuance, equity issue, bond issuance, and use of existing capital.

Strategic rationale and synergies
The deal solidifies the acquirer's Swedish presence, with ~60% of gross consumer loans to be Swedish post-acquisition.
MedMera Bank's customer base and product offering are highly complementary, with lower credit losses and higher average loan amounts.
Exclusive partnership with Coop provides access to over 4 million members and a strong distribution channel.
Significant cost and income synergies expected, with a long-term reduction in cost-to-income ratio.
The acquisition is expected to create tangible value for shareholders, with EPS more than doubling by 2028 and potential for increased dividends.
Financial and shareholder support
The transaction is primarily financed through equity (including SEK 600m new issue), bonds (SEK 500m), and existing funds.
Strong shareholder support, with SEK 410m committed by the largest shareholder and additional commitments from management and other investors.
The acquisition aligns with long-term financial targets and the ambition to become a top 3 Nordic consumer finance bank.
