S-Pankki has announced a tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Oma Säästöpankki, valuing the Finnish savings bank at approximately €571.4 million. Under the terms of the offer, shareholders will receive €17.20 per share, a 47% premium over Oma Säästöpankki’s closing price prior to the announcement (MTV Uutiset).
