Sumitomo, consortium eye RHB stake

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp and a private equity consortium are eyeing a 25% stake in RHB Capital Bhd.

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank is selling the stake, valued at US$1.6bil, and first round bids were due on May 19, the sources said.

The consortium - Carlyle Group and TPG Capital - has hired an investment bank, while Sumitomo is close to appointing an adviser, the sources said yesterday.

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank has hired Goldman Sachs and Bank of America-Merrill Lynch to run the auction. The stake gives access to a fastgrowing South-East Asian economy forecast to expand by 56% this year, driving demand for consumer loans and credit cards.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
