LONDON--National Australia Bank Ltd. (NAB.AU) has set a price for its initial public offering of CYBG PLC, the holding company of Clydesdale Bank PLC and Yorkshire Bank, valuing the U.K. group at 1.54 billion pounds ($2.22 billion) to GBP2.07 billion.

Shares in CYBG, slated to start trading Feb. 2 on the London Stock Exchange, have been priced at 175 pence to 235 pence each, the Australian bank said on Monday.

National Australia Bank plans to sell 219.83 million CYBG shares, or 25% of its issued share capital in the IPO. However, it cautioned that it could elect not to proceed with the IPO or to proceed only with a partial IPO, in which case it will retain a shareholding in CYBG.

The demerger of NAB's U.K. business isn't conditional on the IPO proceeding, but the IPO is conditional on the demerger going ahead, the bank said.

NAB had said back on Nov. 27 that it was planning a demerger of CYBG and stock sale to institutional investors.
