EFG Group announces IPO range

BBR Staff Writer Published 23 September 2005

The Swiss private bank EFG has revealed that the price range for its forthcoming initial public offering will be in the region of CHF5.2-6.2 billion ($4.1-4.9 billion).

The bank is to establish a holding company, EFG International, in which some just over 42 million new shares will be made available. The stocks are to float on the Swiss stock exchange. EFG is anticipating a free float of some 27.71%, under the assumption that 15% over allotment option is implemented, and each share is likely to be worth between CHF34 and CHF41. The IPO comes amid a wave of consolidation in the Swiss private banking arena, with Julius Baer only last month opting to purchase a set of private banks and asset managers from UBS.
