Fiera Capital (UK) Limited Announces Pre-Commitment to Subscribe for Shares in CrediaBank’s Proposed Capital Raise
23rd March 2026, London – Fiera Capital (UK) Limited (“Fiera” or “the Company”), the UK division of Fiera Capital Corporation, a leading independent asset management firm with US$119.7 billion in assets under management as at 31 December 2025, today announces its pre-commitment, on behalf of certain of its funds, to subscribe for shares in the proposed capital raise of CrediaBank S.A. (“CrediaBank”), subject to customary terms and conditions, with a pre-commitment of €30 million. The proposed issuance is subject to market conditions, authorisation by the Extraordinary General Meeting of CrediaBank’s shareholders to be held on 27 March 2026 and a decision of CrediaBank’s Board of Directors acting pursuant to such authorisation.
Subject to the proposed capital raise proceeding, and customary terms and conditions, this would mark Fiera’s second participation in a capital raise at the same institution, reinforcing its continued support for the bank’s strategic transformation.
While CrediaBank’s next phase of growth presents new challenges, Fiera’s pre-commitment reflects strong confidence in the bank’s leadership team under CEO, Eleni Vrettou. The team has successfully navigated a demanding period of domestic consolidation, non-performing loan resolution and balance sheet strengthening, positioning the bank to enter its next stage of expansion.
Stefan Böttcher, Senior Portfolio Manager, Emerging & Frontier Markets at Fiera Capital (UK) Limited, commented:
“Having supported the bank through its earlier transformation, we are pleased to reaffirm our commitment at this pivotal stage. CrediaBank has demonstrated a clear ability to execute on complex strategic initiatives and the planned expansion into Malta represents a compelling opportunity to scale its platform internationally. We have strong confidence in the leadership team’s vision and capability to deliver long-term sustainable growth.”
