History [edit]
Origins [edit]
It was formed in 1994 out of the former Ljubljanska banka.
NLB Factoring [edit]
In 2002 Nova Ljubljanska banka acquired Czech financial company Union Invest Capital.[1][2] Later renamed NLB Factoring, the company offered factoring to Czech companies.[1][2] In 2011 the company generated loss CZK 0,7 billion.[2] Ownership equity fell to CZK -0,6 billion.[2] Bank loans amounted CZK 3,7 billion (€142 million).[2] The bank loans were either provided or guaranteed by the NLB group.[2] Auditor PricewaterhauseCoopers gave the company qualified opinion.[2] According to PwC provisions should have been increased by CZK 0.6 billion.[2]
Štefan Loncnar, chairman of the board of directors since 2002, was in 2009 one of the largest sponsors of Czech political party TOP 09.[3]
Bailout [edit]
In June 2012 it received a €320m bailout from the Slovenian government in order to ensure it reached the 9% Core Tier 1 requirement of the EBA[4]
