The U.K. government said Friday that it has sold Bradford &
Bingley PLC and NRAM Ltd. building societies to Davidson Kempner
Capital Management LP and Citibank for 5 billion pounds ($7.01
billion).
The government said that B&B and NRAM, which was formerly
called Northern Rock, have been sold with their remaining
loans.
"This final sale constitutes a significant milestone in the work
to achieve the government's objective of returning the institutions
brought into public ownership as a result of the 2007-2008
financial crisis to private ownership," HM Treasury said.
