ICICI Securities share price fell over 3 per cent in the early trade on Friday after ICICI Bank approved the delisting of ICICI Securities in a share swap deal that would make it the bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ending the securities business’ short life as a listed entity.

The lender has valued the investment bank’s shares at Rs 628.09 apiece, a premium of 2.25 per cent to Wednesday’s closing price, and more than 11 per cent to its undisturbed price before the plan was announced on Sunday.

The company had on Thursday announced that it will become a wholly owned subsidiary of its parent company ICICI Bank upon delisting. The public shareholders of ICICI Securities would get 67 equity shares of face value Rs 2 each of ICICI Bank for every 100 equity shares of the company.

The board of ICICI Bank has also approved the delisting of ICICI Securities.

The draft scheme of arrangement for delisting of equity shares of ICICI Securities was approved at a meeting of the board of directors of the company on June 29, pursuant to which ICICI Bank will issue equity shares to public shareholders of the domestic brokerage in lieu of cancellation of their equity shares in the company.

“While there are business synergies between the bank and the company, a consolidation by way of merger is not permissible on account of regulatory restrictions on the bank from undertaking securities broking business departmentally," ICICI Securities said in the filing.

ICICI Bank held 74.85 per cent stake in ICICI Securities and the remaining was with public.

ICICI Bank listed ICICI Securities in an initial public offering in April 2018 selling shares at Rs 520 apiece.

Since then, the stock underperformed the broader market for much of the time.

One of the reasons driving the delisting is said to be the overlap of businesses between the bank and the subsidiary like in wealth management.

[ad_1] Blood sample for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) test Jarun011 | Istock | Getty Images U.S. Food and Drug Administration staff on Tuesday said Pfizer's vaccine that protects infants from respiratory syncytial virus has "generally favorable" safety data.

The advisors will vote on whether Pfizer's late-stage clinical trial data on the vaccine supports its safety and efficacy. The FDA typically follows the advice of its advisory committees, but is not required to do so. The agency is slated to make a decision on whether to clear the shot in August before RSV season in the fall. If approved, Pfizer's jab would become the world's first vaccine that protects infants against RSV.  RSV usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. But infants and older ad...

[ad_1] LONDON: Casemiro scored twice as Manchester United turned on the style to beat 10-man Reading 3-1 and reach the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday as Tottenham forward Son Heung-min ended his recent goal drought.

The home side took the lead at Old Trafford in the 54th minute when Anthony produced a defence-splitting pass to find Brazil teammate Casemiro, who lifted the ball over goalkeeper Joe Lumley. Four minutes later United were two up, when Casemiro let fly with a stunning strike from outside the box to find the bottom corner. With the home side brimming with confidence, substitute Fred produced an audacious flic...
