CIMB, RHB Capital hand merger plan to BNM

Seeking approval for their venture with MBSB.

CIMB Group Holdings and RHB Capital have made a joint application to Bank Negara to seek approval for a merger of the two banking groups together with Malaysia Building Society Bhd.

According to a research note from Nomura, details of the proposed merger include: CIMB Islamic (unlisted wholly owned subsidiary of CIMB) will acquire MBSB for MYR2.82/share (19% premium to current price of MYR2.37).

Shareholders of MBSB can either opt for cash or for unlisted CIMB Islamic shares.

Further, RHB Capital will acquire the assets and liabilities of CIMB for MYR60.6bn at an exchange ratio of 1 RHB Capital share for 1.38 CIMB share.

This values CIMB at MYR7.27/share (or a P/BV of 1.7x), while RHB Capital would be valued at MYR10.03/share (or a P/BV of 1.4x).

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.
