Novo Banco is a Portuguese bank introduced on 4 August 2014 by the Bank of Portugal to rescue assets and liabilities of Banco Espírito Santo (BES). The rescue of Banco Espirito Santo came after weeks of increasingly bad news about the financial state of the lender, particularly its exposure to a cascade of companies headed by its founding Espirito Santo family headed by Ricardo Salgado. BES was to be split into a "good bank", renamed Novo Banco, and a "bad bank", which will house BES's exposures to the troubled Espirito Santo business empire as well as its Angolan subsidiary BESA. Novo Banco was recapitalised to the tune of 4.9 billion euros by a special bank Resolution Fund. The Portuguese state lends the fund 4.4 billion euros.The bank has a board for the 2014-2017 mandate and is presided by Vítor Bento.〔(New CEO, CFO Chosen for Banco Espirito Santo ) The Wall Street Journal, retrieved on 05-07-2014〕 A month and a half after he started up his duties, Vítor Bento abandoned the leadership of Novo Banco and was replaced in September 2014 by Eduardo Stock da Cunha.〔(Lloyds Executive Named to Run Portugal's Novo Banco ) The Wall Street Journal, retrieved on 14-09-2014〕 The Resolution Fund is the bank’s only shareholder until a sale transaction takes place.
