Activist urges Aareal Bank to be open about approaches for Aareon unit

·1-min read

LONDON (Reuters) - Activist hedge fund investor Teleios Capital on Wednesday urged the management of German real estate lender Aareal Bank <ARLG.DE> to be transparent about what it called "serious bidders" for its Aareon division that had been rejected.

Teleios, which holds a 6.5% stake in the bank, also called for a dual-track process for both a majority and a minority sale of the software business.

"It is our understanding that for some time, management has regularly received and disregarded expressions of interest in a majority or outright purchase of (division) Aareon from serious bidders," Adam Epstein, co-founder at Teleios, said in a statement.

Aareal Bank said on Tuesday it was inviting bids from financial investors for a significant minority stake in Aareon.

It said it had nothing further to add on Wednesday.
