- Monday, October 22, 2012, 4:24 AM British government officials and the Financial Services Authority are pressuring RBS (RBS) to sell its RBS Citizens unit in the U.S. as part of a strategy of refocusing on the U.K. and increasing the bank's cash reserves, the WSJ reports. However, RBS management, led by CEO Stephen Hester, don't want to sell Citizens, which analysts estimate could be worth £6.6B. Comment! [Financials, M&A]
- Friday, October 19, 2012, 3:20 AM EU leaders agree to a deal that will give the ECB oversight of eurozone banks starting from next year, a critical step that will allow the ESM to begin recapitalizing troubled institutions and that will lead to the creation of banking union. The ECB will begin by supervising banks that received state aid and then large cross-border firms, with all of the eurozone's 6,000 banks set to come under its aegis by 2014. 3 Comments [Top Stories, Global & FX, Financials]
- Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 5:24 AM As expected, RBS (RBS +1.5% in London) will leave the U.K. government's Asset Protection Scheme tomorrow. The APS is an insurance program covering the bank's "toxic assets" - many of which have been sold or written off - and has cost it £2.5B in premiums since it joined in 2009; RBS's departure will save it £800M a year and is seen as a first step towards its re-privatization. (PR) Comment! [Financials, Top Stories]
- Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 7:10 AM RBS considers suing Santander (SAN) over the collapse Friday of Santander's deal to buy 316 U.K. branches for £1.65B. The RBS board "strongly refuted" the idea Santander pulled back because of IT issues, according to sources, instead believing the Spanish lender is preserving capital due to troubles in its home country. Comment! [Financials]
- Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 4:45 AM RBS (RBS) will be given permission this week to leave the Asset Protection Scheme, a state-backed insurance program covering the bank's old "toxic assets," the FT reports. Exiting the scheme, which has cost RBS £2.5B in premiums, is seen as a first step towards the government selling its 82% stake in the bank. Meanwhile, RBS has suspended Jezri Mohideen, its head of rates trading in Europe and Asia Pacific, over the Libor scandal. Mohideen is the most senior employee to be put on leave so far. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, October 15, 2012, 4:48 AM RBS (RBS) shares -0.85% in London following the collapse of a deal to sell 318 branches to Santander to meet EU directives. Richard Branson's Virgin Money and P-E firm JC Flowers have reportedly emerged as front-runners to buy the outlets, although RBS may also try to persuade the EU to allow it to keep them. The bank described today how well it has progressed in meeting its EU obligations. Comment! [Financials, M&A]
- Saturday, October 13, 2012, 9:12 PM Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) may try to hold on to 316 branches it failed to unload in its collapsed $2.7B deal with Santander (SAN), due to a "more flexible" regulatory climate. “It used to be a pretty severe regime but they are making different judgments,” RBS Chairman Philip Hampton says about the bailout-forced deal. 3 Comments [Financials]
- Friday, October 12, 2012, 2:16 PM More on RBS/Santander: The £1.65B sale of the branches was initially announced in August 2010 and expected to close by the end of 2011. It had been ordered by the European Commission after RBS was bailed out by the U.K. government. A "major blow" is how ITV's Laura Kuenssberg's source within RBS is describing the collapse. Comment! [Financials]
- Friday, October 12, 2012, 2:09 PM The deal for RBS to sell 318 branches to Santander (SAN) has reportedly collapsed over issues relating to the integration of the two lenders' IT systems. RBS -1.3%. Comment! [Financials]
- Friday, October 12, 2012, 7:44 AM The EU could delay the phasing in of tough new Basel rules on banks by a year from the international start date of January 1, 2013, Bloomberg reports. Banks have said that the date is "wholly unreasonable" given that the EU still hasn't finalized how it will implement the measures. Comment! [Financials, Top Stories]
- Thursday, October 11, 2012, 3:24 AM RBS (RBS) raises £787M in an IPO of its Direct Line Insurance unit after selling 450M shares, or 30%, at 175 pence each. The price is below the midpoint of a range of 160-195 pence and values Direct Line at £2.63B, far less than the £3.4B valuation put on the unit last month by Commerzbank, one of the IPO's managers. (PR) Comment! [Top Stories, Financials]
- Wednesday, October 10, 2012, 6:18 AM RBS (RBS) continues its strategy of offloading non-core assets as it agrees to sell two commercial buildings in Frankfurt and Berlin to Axa Investment Managers for a combined €790M ($1B), Bloomberg reports. Axa made the acquisition on behalf of Norway’s $650B sovereign-wealth fund. Comment! [Financials, M&A]
- Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 7:33 AM Along with its upgrade of U.S. banks, Credit Suisse downgrades to Neutral a trio of U.K. lenders: Barclays (BCS), Lloyds (LYG), and RBS. (Previous: UBS also downgrades Lloyds) Comment! [Financials]
- Thursday, September 27, 2012, 4:30 AM RBS (RBS) will sell shares in its Direct Line insurance unit for less than expected in order to attract investors, the FT reports. At the mid-point of its target price-range, Direct Line will be valued at £2.6B, below consensus of £2.7B-£2.9B and the £3.4B that some banks on the deal were pushing for. RBS could issue a prospectus this week. Comment! [Financials, Top Stories]
- Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 3:35 AM RBS managers took part in the manipulation of global interest rates, Bloomberg reports, while traders collaborated with counterparts at other banks. There was also no Chinese wall at RBS: money-market traders who submitted the bank's Libor estimates sat on the same desk as derivatives traders whose profits depended on the rate, with the latter even making submissions themselves sometimes. 2 Comments [Financials, Top Stories]
- Monday, September 24, 2012, 10:42 AM RBS ups its job-cut target by 300 to 3.8K, and tells an investor conference about 3K of those reductions will take place by year's end, with the remainder by the end of 2013. Shares -2.6%. Comment! [Financials]
