The share sale and purchase agreement in connection with the transaction was signed on March 31 this year between Lesha Bank, as purchaser, and Kazakhstan-based Baiterek National Management Holding JSC, as seller.
“The transaction was completed on October 8, 2024. The agreed purchase price for the acquisition is 65bn Kazakh Tenge, which corresponds to $134,899,552 based on the exchange rate at the time of completion,” Lesha Bank said on Tuesday.
