© . MILAN () -Non-binding offers for a non-performing loan (NPL) portfolio worth about 5 billion euros ($5.7 billion) shelved by Greek bad bank liquidator PQH are expected next week , said Italy’s largest non-performing loan manager doValue. Speaking to analysts after doValue reported better-than-expected results for 2021, CEO Andrea Mangoni said the group had partnered with funds Bain and Fortress in the race to secure the portfolio, dubbed “Ariadne.” The three have worked together before. A consortium comprising doValue Greece, Bain and Fortress was chosen last year in a 6 billion euro securitization sale by the National Bank of Greece. Bain and Fortress invested to buy the notes backed by the bad loans, while doValue provided the collection services. Given the sheer size of the loan pool, the bidding process for Ariadne will be highly competitive, Mangoni said, adding that bidding was one of doValue’s priorities right now and he was optimistic about the outcome. “We are positive about Ariadne,” he said. Appointed by the Bank of Greece, PQH is liquidating the bad assets of 12 lenders that were shut down between 2011 and 2014. The assets totaled approximately 9 billion euros and mainly consisted of impaired loans.
