Expected conclusion of FCA proceedings
Metro Bank ("the Company") expects the previously announced
Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") proceedings into the Company's
historic risk weighted assets ("RWA") disclosures to conclude
shortly.
Metro Bank has cooperated fully with the FCA's investigation and
has decided to increase its provision in respect of the financial
penalty from GBP5.3 million (as disclosed in the Company's full
year 2021 results) to GBP10.0 million, consistent with the range of
up to GBP13 million outlined in the full year 2021 results. The
balance of GBP4.7 million will be reflected in the full year 2022
results as a one-off non-underlying expense.
The conclusion of the investigation will represent an important
milestone for the Company in bringing the RWA legacy issues to a
close.
The information contained within this announcement is deemed by
the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under
the Market Abuse Regulations (EU) No. 596/2014 (which forms part of
UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) and
was authorised for release by Melissa Conway, Company
Secretary.
