After 52 years of being listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NGX), Union Bank of Nigeria Plc has announced its decision to delist from the NGX.
The bank plans to pay N7.70 per share to its shareholders in its scheme of consideration, following a court-ordered meeting and approval by the Federal High Court.
VerseNews reports that this was disclosed in the document signed by Somuyiwa Sonubi, Union Bank’s Company Secretary, and the Registrars will send the Scheme Consideration to all the Bank’s shareholders.
At the end of 2021, Titan Trust Bank (TTB), promoted by former CBN Deputy Governor, Tunde Lemo got the approval of the CBN to acquire an 89.4% stake in Union Bank of Nigeria.
Six months later, in June 2022, TTB completed the deal to acquire a 93.4% stake in the bank. After completing a takeover of the bank, it was announced in May 2023 that TTB was planning to pay N7 per share to acquire the remaining shares of Union Bank of Nigeria to ensure a 100% total ownership by TTB.
As of the close of trading on November 13, 2023, Union Bank of Nigeria (UBN) closed at N6.65.
