History

Founded in 1856, the bank was a major bank of Luxembourg. It was acquired by Dexia in 1999.[2] In 2012 Dexia sold BIL for €730 million to Precision Capital,[3] which also owned KBL European Private Bankers.

In 2017, Legend Holdings announced it was acquiring a 90% stake in the bank from Precision Capital for €1.484 billion.[4][5] In July 2018, the procedure was approved by the Luxembourg regulator (CSSF) and the European Central Bank.[6][7]

gollark: I've managed to at least sort of work around the problem in a way which will inevitably break later, so yay.
gollark: ```luaif package and not package.preload then package.preload = {} endfunction simple_require(package) if package.preload[package] then return package.preload[package] end [other stuff]end```does this:I have no idea *what's* going on at this point.
gollark: Really? Interesting. Do you need some unreasonably gigantic regex for it? Or did I foolishly invite this by saying "regex" instead of "pattern"?
gollark: Or non-X-HTML.
