(Alliance News) - NatWest Group PLC on Monday said it it would sell its entire remaining stake in Ireland's Permanent TSB Group Holdings PLC through a placing to institutional investors.
The Edinburgh-based lender said it would sell 63.6 million shares, representing a roughly 11.7% interest in Permanent TSB, through an accelerated book building process.
At Permanent TSB's closing share price on Monday of EUR2.16, the stake is worth around EUR137.4 million.
On completion of the placing, NatWest is expected to exit its interest in PTSB in full.
