The notice signed by Chidi Okezie, the Company’s Secretary, noted that the move would ensure proper alignment of the Bank’s entity status and eliminate the existing brand confusion. It noted that many investors and members of the public hitherto referred to the Bank as the listed entity and not Stanbic IBTC Holdings PLC.

It further noted that Stanbic IBTC Bank Limited remains a wholly owned subsidiary of Stanbic IBTC Holdings PLC and no change of ownership, shareholding structure, or business objects of the Company will occur by virtue of its re-registration to a private company.

“The change will also not impact the Bank’s existing relationships, contractual agreements, or any ongoing regulatory obligations,” it added.

Stanbic IBTC began the year with a share price of N33.45 and has since gained 124% on the price valuation.
