December 2012, Lind Invest became major shareholder in Skjern Bank with an ownership above 20%. The investment took place due to the bank’s need to raise capital following a difficult period with high loan losses. Since then Skjern Bank’s results have improved significantly. Lind Invest has now sold all its shares in Skjern Bank.
“After a number of years as major shareholder in Skjern Bank, we are pleased to realise a satisfactory return on our investment,” Chief Investment Officer, Kasper Herrestrup, states.
