A total of seven bidders participated in the main bidding for a combined more than 30 percent stake in Woori Bank, the Financial Services Commission said Friday.

The FSC had a plan sell the 30 percent stake in 4 to 8 percent splinters to multiple investors without managerial rights for the bank. 

Korea Deposit Insurance Corp., the current largest shareholder of the bank, closed the bidding at 5 p.m. and seven out of 16 previously mentioned bidders submitted bids for the stake.

The seven bidders included Hanwha Life Insurance, Tong Yang Life Insurance, Kiwoom Securities and Korea Investment & Securities.
