PNB, Allied Bank gets a go-ahead to merge

Merger to be completed in February.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Philippine National Bank (PNB) said the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved its merger with sister company, Allied Banking Corporation. The legal merger will be finalized in February when all the regulatory approvals are met.

PNB also received word from the Financial Services Authority of the United Kingdom approving the change in control of Allied Bank Philippines (UK) Plc and PNB (Europe) Plc in relation to the upcoming merger. Foreign regulators were needed to approve the merger because PNB and Allied Bank maintain offices outside the Philippines.

PNB is the fifth largest bank in terms of assets while Allied Bank is the 13th.

In 2012, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority gave their approvals to the PNB, Allied Bank merger.

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.
