Grzegorz Zieliński, EBRD Regional Director for Poland and the Baltics said: "The Bank, as an active minority shareholder, has supported the transformation of Grupa Azoty into a more integrated, market-oriented and efficient chemical manufacturer. The Bank continues to support the company with tailor-made debt financing and looks forward to further cooperation. We believe that the EBRD's sale should benefit the local capital market by increasing the free float of Grupa Azoty's shares and is further testimony to Poland's attractiveness to institutional investors."
