BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungary's second largest lender MBH Bank will sell 7% of its shares in a public offering starting from Tuesday to broaden the investor base and increase trading activity, the bank said in a statement on Monday.

"The bank launches a public sale of treasury shares amounting to a 7% stake in the bank at a maximum share price of 3,848 forints per share," MBH said. It said retail investors would get a 10% discount relative to institutional investors from the final sale price.
