Currently, the Nord LB and your carrier, all the Land of lower Saxony to negotiate with up to three financial investors via a share. Cerberus, Centerbridge and Apollo, but as a cool calculator, and time is running out for you.

Only the three financial investors are in the race. Who has, in the end, always the nose in front: they will probably make their offerings to the condition that the Alteigner balance sheet risks of the Northern shield LB, such as a part of the rotten ship loans of around 7.3 billion euros. Say: you should apply for the case, guarantees that the loans burst.
