HSBC Holdings, Europeâs biggest bank, agreed to buy a 51 percent stake in Korea Exchange Bank for $6.3 billion as it attempts to bolster its presence in the fast-growing Asian market. The purchase of the stake from the United States private equity group Lone Star Funds would allow Lone Star, based in Dallas, to exit a controversial investment. HSBC, based in London, said that it did not intend to make an offer for the remainder of the Korean bankâs shares and that the bank would remain listed on the Korea Exchange. The acquisition would catapult HSBC past its foreign rivals Standard Chartered and Citigroup. Both have bested HSBC in the past in purchasing local banks during the post-Asian crisis turmoil. A local court in South Korea has been investigating allegations that Lone Star manipulated the stock price of the Korean bankâs credit card unit in 2003 so that the bank could take it over at a lower price.
