MOL said early in February that it would terminate a swap agreement and exercise the call option to purchase a little more than six million of its shares from special-purpose vehicle Magnolia “at market price set out in the agreement”.
MOL sold the six million shares to Magnolia at a price of HUF 20,515 per share ten years earlier. Magnolia then issued €610 in securities that could be exchanged for the shares. The exchangeable securities carried an annual coupon of 4%.
MOL closed at HUF 16,250 yesterday or about €52.38, calculating with the National Bank of Hungaryʼs fixing for the day.
