Hana Financial Group has reached an agreement with Lone Star Funds on lowering the takeover price for Korea Exchange Bank, Dow Jones Newswires reported Thursday.

A Hana spokesman declined to confirm the report.
“Any deal should undergo endorsement by our board members and any such announcement should be preceded by disclosure on the stock market,” he said.
