Small Greek lender Attica Bank postponed to next month Monday's shareholder vote on a 434-million-euro ($550.5 million) cash call to plug a capital shortfall, saying it needed more time to finalise talks with foreign investors.

Greek lender Attica Bank has hired advisers to look for an investor to take part in a planned equity offering, as it becomes the fifth of the country's banks to tap international markets to plug a capital hole, it said on Tuesday.
