New Delhi: Private sector lender Kotak Mahindra Bank Friday said that ING Group has exited as investor by selling its entire stake in the bank.
ING Group had around 1.20 per cent stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank.
It is estimated that the stake would have fetched Rs 2,800 crore to the global financial institution of Dutch origin.
Following the sale of stake, Mark Newman, a non-executive director of the bank has resigned from the board. Newman was nominee director of ING Group.
"Earlier today ING Group sold its remaining stake in the Bank. I hereby resign from my position as a director of the Company with immediate effect," a regulatory filing said.
