Merger of Associate Banks with SBI 2017
Merger of ABs with SBI
Whether shareholders of associate banks (ABs) benefitted? An interesting read
1. Three ABs SBBJ, SBT and SBM were listed entities. SBH and SBP were 100% owned by SBI.
2. The swap ratios for getting the shares of SBI were fixed in August 2016 as under:
For
i. 10 shares of SBBJ, 28 shares of SBI
ii. 10 shares of SBT, 22 shares of SBI and
iii. 10 shares of SBM, 22 shares of SBI
were allotted.
3. Share prices of the four banks 'prior to' and 'post' announcement of swap ratio in august 2016 reads as follows
Prior Post
SBBJ 488 673
SBT 363 505
SBM 378 621
SBI 177 248
4. The 10 shares of ABs after swap are valued on three different dates as under:
(SBI share value now taken as Rs.580)
Prior Post Now
SBBJ 4880 6730 16240
SBT 3630 5050 12870
SBM 3780 6210 12760
5. The appreciation for a share holder of ABs works out to
(no. of times)
SWAP - Prior Post
SBBJ 3.33 2.41
SBT 3.52 2.52
SBM 3.37 2.05
Almost all ABs have appreciated by 3.4 times to the share price prior to swap ratio announcement (date taken 16.05.2016) and by 2.4 times (SBM 2.05 times) post swap ratio announcement (date taken 16.08.2016). SBI share price has moved by 3.27 times prior to swap ratio announcement and by 2.34 times post swap ratio announcement (same dates taken)
Two conclusions I draw
1. The swap ratio is fair to both merged and mergee entities.
2. Shareholders of SBI as well as the three ABs stand richly benefitted.
