Furthermore, by that provision and with effect from the same date as above, the legal person in public law “Unified Fund for Supplementary Insurance and Lump-Sum Retirement Benefits (ΕΤΕΑΕP)” was abolished and integrated into e-EFKA as its quasi-universal successor. The Supplementary Insurance Division and the Lump-Sum Retirement Benefits Division of ΕΤΕΑΕP were integrated into e-ΕFKA with full financial, accounting and property independence each. In this regard, Article 6 of Law 4670/2020 - which inserted a new Article 70A into Law 4387/2016 - stipulated that the total assets and liabilities formerly owned by the Supplementary Insurance Division and the Lump-Sum Retirement Benefits Division of ΕΤΕΑΕP that are now being integrated, as well as their movable and immovable property, shall automatically be transferred to the respective independent divisions of e-ΕFKA, i.e. to e-EFKA’s Supplementary Insurance Division and Lump-Sum Retirement Benefits Division, as their universal successors.
As a result of the aforementioned quasi-universal succession, on 7 August 2020:
(a) the Main Insurance & Other Benefits Division of e-EFKA held and continues to hold 1,264,099 shares of the Bank of Greece, i.e. 6.3635% of the Bank’s share capital, carrying 16,854.653 voting rights, i.e. 6.3635% of total voting rights;
