BERLIN Dec 7 (Reuters) - Eastern Germany's savings banks have written down their stake in stricken Landesbank Berlin (LBB) to 1 euro, the head of the association representing them said.
"We have drawn a line under it in the hope that we're through now," OSV President Michael Ermrich told Reuters, adding that he did not expect a dividend from LBB in the next two to three years.
On Friday, sources had told Reuters that Germany's savings banks would have to shoulder as much as 1.2 billion euros ($1.6 billion) in further writedowns on LBB, which is being dismantled into a savings bank and a real estate business.
About 400 German savings banks bought LBB for more than 5.5 billion euros ($7.5 billion) in 2007. They had already booked 2.2 billion in writedowns already in previous years, about 40 percent of the original purchase price.
