The investment bank was hired to distribute the shares among investors, and will now advise the bank in considering and promoting the process of its sale or merger. Initial meetings on the subject were recently held with Bank of Jerusalem and Discount Bank. Value Base will attempt to locate additional potential buyers and help devise an optimal sale plan.
