According to the information sent to the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), Oceanwood has increased to 187.5 million the number of shares that it seeks to sell from Unicaja Banco, at a rate of one euro per share, after making the decision on Monday to partially exit the entity through an accelerated placement process.
