In addition, approximately SEK 126 M is expected to accrue to Catella regarding the earn-out with a maximum potential of approximately SEK 240 M, which is attributable to the sale of the Card issuing operations. The earn-out will be reported at the end of 2019 or at the beginning of 2020.
Total expenses, from October 2018 to beginning of 2020, relating to the Banking business area are estimated at approximately SEK 368 M, of which SEK 164 M is reported in the fourth quarter of 2018. Expenses in 2019 and beginning of 2020 are expected to amount to approximately SEK 204 million.
As previously communicated, equity of SEK 437 M, as of September 30, 2018, is expected to be secured in Banking. Shareholders’ equity is expected to be transferred to the Parent Company upon completion of the wind down.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the strategic review was completed when Catella entered into agreements to divest the Wealth Management operations in Luxembourg to VP Bank and 51% of the Wealth Management operations in Sweden to Söderberg & Partners and to divest the Card issuing operations in Luxembourg to Advanzia Bank S.A. The transaction regarding the Wealth Management operation in Luxembourg to VP Bank was completed in February 2019 and the final consideration amounted to SEK 95 M.
The transfer of card customers according to the agreement with Advanzia Bank S.A. will take place during 2019 and up to the beginning of 2020 to ensure that the maximum number of customers is part of the transaction.
As of the third quarter 2018, Catella reports the Banking business area as a divestment group held for sale.

Catella’s divestment of Wealth Management operations in Luxembourg concluded

On October 26, 2018, Catella Bank S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Catella AB (publ), announced that it had entered into an asset transfer agreement to divest its Wealth Management operations in Luxembourg to VP Bank (Luxembourg) SA. The transaction is now completed and the final consideration amounts to SEK 95 million.
The consideration was dependent on certain conditions related to assets under management on the transaction date, and as the transaction is completed, the final purchase price has been set at SEK 95 million against previously communicated approximately SEK 110 million. The difference is mainly due to the fact that the assets under management decreased due to the weak market development.
The divestment of the Wealth Management operations in Luxembourg is a result of the now completed strategic review of Catella’s banking operations. The purpose of the strategic review was to exit the consolidated situation due to the extensive regulatory framework and inefficient capital structure it entails.
