ICICI Bank would shortly seek the approval of RBI and other regulatory bodies regarding merger, the bank informed the Bombay Stock Exchange.

ICICI Bank is expected to issue 3.46 million equity shares of the face value of Rs 10 each against SBL’s 31.96 million equity shares of the face value of Rs 10 each. The new shares to be issued would be listed at the BSE as well as NSE, it added.

After RBI accords its sanction to the amalgamation, the Board of Directors or a committee would fix a record date for determining the shareholders of SBL who would be eligible for the shares of the ICICI Bank in exchange of their shares of SBL.

ICICI Bank seeks to leverage Sangli Bank’s network of over 190 branches and existing customer and employee base across urban and rural centres in the roll out of its rural and small enterprise banking operations.
