According to the official data from the Central Depository Agency of Croatia, a total of 2.21 million shares have been sold to MOL during the public offer for a price of HRK2,800 per share.

MOL has secured the appropriate sources for the settlement of the transaction. The competition review process is ongoing although it does not effect the settlement of the offer, said MOL.

Zsolt Hernadi, chairman and CEO of MOL Group, said: I believe that with the public offer we have shown our commitment in a transparent way towards both INA and Croatia. With the high acceptance of the public offer we have made another important step toward the realization of our strategic goal: strengthening the partnership with INA.

On the basis of the existing shareholders agreement between the government and MOL, we are prepared to continue the talks with the government about the future development and governance of INA.
