NatWest Group and the Minister for Finance of Ireland raised
110.5 million euros ($118.9 million) from the sale of shares they
held in Permanent TSB Group Holdings, the bank said on Friday.
The British group had said on Thursday that it intended to sell
part of its shareholding in the Dublin-listed lender,
simultaneously with the Ireland's Finance Minister Michael McGrath,
via a share placing to institutional investors.
The placing price was EUR2.025 a Permanent TSB share, NatWest
said. This represents an 8% discount to Thursday's closing price of
EUR2.20.
They each disposed of 27.3 million shares in Permanent TSB--54.6
million shares in total, representing 10% of the Irish bank's
issued share capital. The placing was originally estimated to
comprise around 33 million of Permanent TSB shares, or 6% of its
share capital.
McGrath and NatWest will get EUR55.2 million of gross proceeds
each, the bank said.
NatWest's shareholding will be reduced to 63.6 million ordinary
shares, or 11.7% of Permanent TSB's share capital, from 16.7%
previously, it said. The disposal will have an immaterial impact on
the bank's CET1 ratio and tangible net asset value per share, it
added.
