         Market Comment

The return to low volumes sessions (€53.4m/lowest in the last 17 sessions) and the absence of a major event/catalyst in the short term eased volatility while investors keep a waiting stance ahead of the conclusion of bank recaps. Local focus remains on banks with confidence in Alpha and anticipation of Piraeus terms, while yesterday’s closing market pressure could activate a bounce at the open.

         In the Spotlight

Bank of Piraeus: The bank announced yesterday that €39.5m in preferred securities and €26.2m in lower tier 2 notes validly tendered by deadline. Piraeus pays 35 euro-cents for preferred securities; 55c for lower tier 2 notes plus an accrued interest payment.

Eurobank: Eurobank proceeds with a liability management exercise in respect of the five series of hybrid securities for up to €580m. Undertaking by holders tendering Securities to participate in the new share capital increase, for cash, with the proceeds of the repurchase, at a share issue price equal to the issue price of the share capital increase of €5.8bn which was fully subscribed by the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (weighted average price ~€0.154). 

The participation of the securities holders in the LME is voluntary and the total nominal value of the tendered Securities that the Bank will accept will not exceed €580m, out of the total nominal amount outstanding of approximately €663m. The tender period ends June 11 wgile new shares will be traded in ASE on July 4. The announcement of the First Quarter 2013 results will take place on Friday, 31 May 2013 after the close of trading on the ATHEX.

Greece/Banking sector: Greek pension funds will not participate in a round of share capital increase plans of Greek systemic banks.  The Labor ministry, in a letter sent to the managements of Greek pension funds last Friday, said that according to the latest memorandum signed with the EC-ECB-IMF troika, central government agencies have no right to participate in banks’ share capital increase schemes Following this development, the boards of IKA –Greece’s largest pension fund- and of the Self-Employed Single Fund annulled earlier decisions and proceed with the sale of their rights to Alpha Bank, while they are expected to do so with National Bank.

OPAP: According to press reports, the Remote Gambling Association (RGA) and the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) have filed a complaint with the European Commission regarding the regulation of the Greek online gambling market.

Jumbo has already announced figures regarding Turnover (€381m +0,41%) and net earnings (€48,1m -29%) affected by the haircut on Cypriot deposits which will reach €20m. On a like for like basis more favourable than expected €/$ currency may keep gross margin above 50% beating management guidance before one offs. Overall we expect a good quarter considering the absence of Easter sales and the adverse economic conditions in the Greek economy.
