The onlyprice we consider to be the correct one is net asset/share. We madethe decision to sell for the entities under our management, thereis no connection between us and the other entities the CNVM refersto," specified Radu Hanga, general manager of BT Asset Management.Market watchdog CNVM issued an ordinance in August whereby itrequired several firms presumed to be part of the BT group to cuttheir stakes in SIF Banat-Crişana to 1%, from 17.28%.
