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.
