Emirates NBD Set to Acquire Majority Stake in RBL Bank
The Commission has given the green light for Emirates NBD Bank (P.J.S.C.) to acquire a significant portion of RBL Bank Limited. This strategic move will see Emirates NBD securing between 51% to 74% of RBL’s shares, paving the way for enhanced banking operations in India.
The acquisition involves several key components. Firstly, Emirates NBD will execute a mandatory open offer as per the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. This offer will account for up to 26% of RBL’s expanded voting capital. Secondly, the bank plans a preferential allotment of new equity shares that will total up to 60% of RBL’s total paid-up capital. Lastly, Emirates NBD intends to amalgamate its existing banking operations within India into RBL Bank, operating through its established network of branches.
