Analysts See looming M&A after CBNâs FBN Holdings Board Rejig
FBN Board changes has continued to generating reactions as breakdown in governance code came as surprise to industryâs analysts, especially investment bankers who found the board room game dirty.
Reacting to the recent change by the Central Bank of Nigeria, Chapel Hill Denham said it has raised its risk-rate on FBN Holdings, noting that merger and acquisition (M&A) is actually possible in the near term due to the dirty board room game that backfired on disengaged Board members.
In the next 12-18 months, analysts at Chapel Hill Denham opened up that M&A is possible given the weaknesses in the capital adequacy ratio and non-performing loan ratios, in breach of acceptable prudential standards of the CBN.
