The turnout and participation of existing shareholders taking up their rights was impressive such that the rights issue was over-subscribed by 21.9% to the tune of N181.4 billion. Our shareholders’ interest shows the confidence they continue to have in the brand.

“We appreciate the support of the Central Bank of Nigeria, The Securities and Exchange Commission, the Lead Issuing house, Joint Issuing houses and other stakeholders in the successful completion of the recapitalisation exercise.

We are optimistic about future opportunities, as the injection of new capital will position us to take advantage of them to enable us to deliver to our shareholders.

Having received an injection of N140 billion from the parent company, the Chief Executive of the Banking subsidiary, Mr. Wole Adeniyi, remarked that ‘the injection of the new capital into the banking subsidiary is a positive development.
