View answerThe PTSB Formal Sales Process (FSP) is conducted by PTSB pursuant to the Irish Takeover Panel Act 1997. The process is overseen by the Takeover Panel and is subject to the Irish Takeover Rules.
The FSP is open to suitable strategic and financial investors and is being conducted by PTSB and its advisers in accordance with the Irish Takeover Rules. It is not appropriate to speculate on what potential bidders may emerge.
