Commerzbank in talks to buy Petrus Advisers stake in Comdirect - source

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Commerzbank <CBKG.DE> is in talks with Petrus Advisers to buy its stake in Comdirect <CDBG.DE>, a person with knowledge of the matter said on Monday.

Commerzbank, which owns more than 82% of Comdirect, is in the process of taking over the entire online bank.

Petrus said in December that it owns 7.5% in Comdirect.

A stake of 90% under German law would allow Commerzbank to squeeze out remaining shareholders.

Bloomberg first reported the talks.
