Because of the new information, it is expected that the transfer can take place late April 2009. Until the transfer can take place, Fionia Bank Holding continues its activities. Financial Supervisory Authority has extended the deadline for submission of the banking licence for Fionia Bank Holding from 15 April to 1 May 2009. On 2 April 2009 the Danish Competition Authorities announced that they have no comments to the framework agreement with Financial Stability and Fionia Bank.
