LONDON--National Australia Bank Ltd. (NAV.AU) confirmed on
Friday that it is planning a demerger and initial public offering
to institutional investors of CYBG PLC, the holding company of
Clydesdale Bank PLC and Yorkshire Bank in the U.K.
The Australian bank said last month it planned to float
Clydesdale Bank, which was established in Glasgow in 1838, on the
London Stock Exchange in February. As part of the plan, it will
demerge CYBG, issue 75% of the stock to existing shareholders and
float the rest through an initial public offering.
CYBG will have its main listing in London with a CHESS
depositary interest listing on the Australian Securities Exchange,
NAB said on Oct. 28.
The proposed demerger and IPO are subject to various court and
regulatory approvals, and NAB shareholder approval, the Australian
bank said. Shareholder approval will be sought at a meeting
expected to be in late January 2016, it added.
Detailed information, including the impact on the parent and
CYBG, is expected to be issued with the scheme booklet in the week
starting Dec. 7, NAB said.
