UniCredit S.p.A. could announce the sale of ATFBank Joint Stock Company as early as March 15, 2013, three sources familiar with the matter said. UniCredit will announce towards the end of a release that it has sold ATF though there will be no details on price, one of the sources familiar with the transaction said. "You have to wait until tomorrow for more information and better visibility," a second source said.

According to Reuters, UniCredit declined to comment. The first source said that when price terms are declared, possibly in April 2013, UniCredit will have to take half of ATF's nonperforming loans.
