Hypo Alpe Adria Bank
Heta Asset Resolution A.G. is a "bad bank" that was the residual asset of the original Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International A.G., which was dismantled in 2014. It was owned by the Government of Austria.
The bad bank contained the leasing subsidiary of former Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank Group in Austria, Italy, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and North Macedonia but not in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia, which were transferred to the "good bank".
In the past Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International was also active in Austria, Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary and Ukraine. However, due to the European debt crisis, the group was split into HBI-Bundesholding AG (consisting of the subsidiary Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank S.p.A.; Italy), the Balkan banks (Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG; now Addiko Bank) and a bad bank, Heta Asset Resolution AG (ex-Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG) in 2014. The leasing subsidiaries of the former Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International in Italy, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and North Macedonia were retained in the bad bank. The Austrian branches were sold in 2013 (now Austrian Anadi Bank).
The bank was founded in 1896 as a Landes-und Hypothekenbank (state Hypothekenbank). In the 1990s it explosively expanded into the Alps-to-Adriatic region. In 2004 the company was renamed Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International A.G., as a holding company for the "Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank" subsidiaries.
In May 2007 BayernLB, the Bavaria-state-owned bank, bought 50% plus one share (controlling stake) of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International for €1.63 billion.
On 14 December 2009, BayernLB, Kärntner Landesholding (Carinthia state holding) and Grazer Wechselseitige Versicherung sold their stakes in the bank to the Austrian government for €1 each. The bank was nationalised by the Austrian government to avert a bank collapse. It was expected that between €13 billion and €19 billion of outstanding loans will never be paid back; to avoid bankruptcy, the Austrian taxpayers will have to cover this loss.
The headquarters, which accounts for around 500 employees, was located in Klagenfurt, Austria and was responsible for controlling the subsidiary banks in Austria, Italy and South-Eastern Europe as well as those markets from which the bank was withdrawing (wind-down markets).
In 2013 the domestic branches of the bank in Austria were sold to Anadi Financial Holdings, and renamed to Austrian Anadi Bank.
