The Board of Union Bank of Nigeria Plc has resolved that the Bank should divest its shares in its subsidiaries, with the exception of Union Pension Custodian Limited, which the Board resolved should be wound up and Union Bank UK Plc, which will be retained as the only subsidiary of the Bank.
The Bank has already held discussions with the Central Bank of Nigeria and interested investors had carried out in-depth due diligence exercises and rigorous bidding processes had been conducted with a view to selecting the preferred investor for each subsidiary.
Preliminary steps are being taken to wound up Union Pension Custodian Limited while preferred bidders have been selected for Union Homes Savings and Loans Plc, Union Assurance Company Limited and Union Capital Markets Limited and share purchase agreements have been executed with a view to making formal applications in respect of the transactions to all regulatory bodies.
