PTSB seeks High Court approval for €1.6bn sale to Bawag amid minority-shareholder opposition

PTSB applied to the High Court Commercial Court for approval of a scheme of arrangement for its €1.6 billion sale to Austrian banking group Bawag, while minority shareholders led by Piotr Skoczylas oppose the process, arguing that a single shareholder class would render their votes meaningless given the Minister for Finance's 57.5% stake.
