On 11 May 2009, the European Commission allowed the Latvian Government to purchase the new issue of shares in Parex banka; thus, raising the Bank's share capital. The European Commission's approval was necessary for Parex banka to improve its capital adequacy ratio to 11%.
As previously announced, the Cabinet of Ministers conceptually approved the participation of the EBRD in Parex banka’s equity capital on 24 March 2009. Similarly the Government reached an agreement to increase Parex banka’s capital by 227 million lats – 165 million will be invested in equity capital by means of Privatisation Agency obtaining registered voting shares of the new issue for the nominal value of 1 lats, but 62 million will be invested in subordinated capital.
