MELBOURNE, Australia--National Australia Bank Ltd. (NAB.AU) has struck a deal to offload another GBP1.2 billion (US$1.9 billion) parcel of higher-risk commercial real-estate loans in the U.K. to private equity firm Cerberus Global Investors.

It follows a similar agreement in late July to sell a GBP625 million bundle of largely nonperforming U.K. commercial real-estate loans to Cerberus, and reduces to the balance of NAB's portfolio to GBP836 million from an original GBP5.6 billion in October 2012, the Australian bank said Tuesday.
