Bankia, Valencia CF and Meriton today signed contracts to refinance debt that the Club has with the bank, and to partially finance the acquisition of 70,06% stake of Valencia CF in the hands or Fundación Valencia CF.

The effectiveness of the purchase of the shares of Valencia CF has yet to obtain the necessary approvals from the competent authorities.

These contracts develop the agreement terms and conditions posted on June 6 this year by both parties.

The transaction enables Bankia to fully recover all funds granted in the past to both the Club and Fundación VCF, for a total amount of around 320 million euros. The final wording of the contract has allowed Bankia to define and strengthen the guarantees attached to these loans.
