Restrictions apply to the acquisition of an interest of 10% or more in the Issuer by any single shareholder who is not presently a shareholder with an interest of over 10% in the Company.
Specifically, as is common with the terms of issue of many banking licenses, the banking licences of the Group in Albania and Gambia include restrictions such that no shareholder can acquire or hold an interest of 10% or more in the Company without the approval of the banking regulators in Albania and Gambia.
The necessary approvals have been received for the interests of Tun Daim Zainuddin, who on admission held an interest of 94.4% in the Company. Presently, Tun Daim is holding 71.3% interest in the Company.
If a shareholder or prospective shareholder wishes to acquire an interest in the Company of 10% or more they will need to make applications to the Albanian and Gambian banking regulators. The Company undertakes to assist shareholders needing to make such applications with their applications as appropriate.
If a shareholder acquires an interest of 10% or more in the Company and approval of the shareholding is not obtainable from the relevant banking regulators, and the Company becomes aware thereof, then the shareholder will be requested to divest the proportion of its interest in the Company which exceeds the limit in order that ICB Bank concerned will continue to be able to comply with the requirements of its banking licences, applicable laws and other regulatory requirements.
