HSBS Holdings PLC may end up abandoning its $6.2 billion bid for Korea Exchange Bank, the the govt. of SOuth Korea initiates any further delays and does not come to an agreement soon.
The acquisition has already been delayed extensively, as HSBC had seeked approval for the Korean Exchange Bank takeover way back in December. The purchase is to be made from Lone Star Funds, currently owning the Korean Bank.
