The extent of respective shareholding to be divested by GoI and LIC shall be decided at the time of structuring of transaction in consultation with RBI, an official statement said.
The government of India (GoI) and LIC together own more than 94 per cent of the equity of IDBI Bank (GoI 45.48 per cent, LIC 49.24 per cent). LIC is currently the promoter of IDBI Bank with Management Control and GoI is the co-promoter.
LIC’s Board has passed a resolution to the effect that LIC may reduce its shareholding in IDBI Bank Ltd through divesting its stake along with strategic stake sale envisaged by the Government with an intent to relinquish management control and by taking into consideration price, market outlook, statutory stipulation and interest of policyholders.
This decision of LIC’s Board is also consistent with the regulatory mandate to it to reduce its stake in the Bank.
It is expected that strategic buyer will infuse funds, new technology and best management practices for optimal development of business potential and growth of IDBI Bank Ltd and shall
generate more business without any dependence on LIC and Government assistance/funds. Resources through strategic disinvestment of Government equity from the transaction would be used to finance developmental programmes of the Government benefiting the citizens.
