Menora Mivtachim Holdings Ltd. (TASE: MORA) also bid to buy Isracard but only a 32% controlling core.
The deal was led for Harel by its deputy chairman Ben Hamburger who said, “We are delighted about the signing of the deal and believe that it is good for all the parties of interest in Isracard. We believe that the price we have offered for the deal is proper and fair. The deal reflects a premium of 38.2% on the price of Isracard’s share on the day of our offer.”
The deal is also subject to approval by the Israel Competition Authority, which last week approved Clal Insurance’s acquisition of credit card company Max from Warburg Pincus.
