The proceeds will be used to replenish the bank's capital, the statement said.
After the deal, with a 20.98-percent stake, Shougang Group will replace Deutche Bank as the bank's largest shareholder. Shougang currently holds a 13.98 percent stake.
At the end of 2009, the bank reported a capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 10.2 percent, just over the regulatory requirement of 10 percent.
