Under a partnership agreement linking Albert Frère and his family with BNP Paribas, it was agreed at the time of the takeover bid for the investment company Compagnie Nationale à Portefeuille (CNP) in 2011 that the Frère Group would purchase the remaining stake held by BNP Paribas in ERBE, the parent company of CNP, in several tranches between March 2016 and March 2028.
These operations have now been brought forward today through the purchase by the Frère Group of the entire BNP Paribas shareholding in ERBE. This financial transaction will in no way alter the excellent relations which the two groups have enjoyed for almost five decades and which will continue, to the mutual benefit of the two parties going forward.
