Acquisition of ANZ Bank by Standard Chartered Banks merger is defined as the combination of two firms to form a single firm. Types of merger There are three types of merger s Horizontal merger The combination of two firms in the same business is called horizontal merger . Vertical merger it involves companies at different stages of production. Conglomerate it involves the companies in unrelated business. Acquisition An acquisition, also known as a takeover or a buyout, is the buying of one company (the ‘target’) by another. An acquisition may be friendly or hostile. In the former case, the companies cooperate in negotiations; in the latter case, the takeover target is unwilling to be bought or the target' s board has no prior knowledge of the offer. Types of acquisition the buyer buys the shares, and therefore control, of the target company being purchased. Ownership control of the company in turn conveys effective control over the assets of the company, but since the company is acquired intact as a going business, this form of transaction carries with it all of the liabilities accrued by that business over its past and all of the risks that company faces in its commercial environment. The buyer buys the assets of the target company. The cash the target receives from the sell-off is paid back to its shareholders by dividend or through liquidation. This type of transaction leaves the target company as an empty shell, if the buyer buys out the entire assets. A buyer often structures the transaction as an asset purchase to "cherry-pick" the assets that it wants and leave out the assets and liabilities that it does not. This can be particularly important where foreseeable liabilities may include future, unquantified damage awards such as those that could arise from litigation over defective products, employee benefits or terminations, or environmental damage. A disadvantage of this structure is the tax that many jurisdictions, particularly outside the United States, impose on transfers of the individual assets, whereas stock transactions can frequently be structured as like-kind exchanges or other arrangements that are tax-free or tax-neutral, both to the buyer and to the seller & poses shareholders. Standard Chartered Bank History SCB, incorporated in the United Kingdom, has an international rating of “A+” by Standard & Poor’s and Fitch. Subsequent to merger of Union Bank Limited and Standard Chartered Bank (Pakistan) Branches, with and into SCBPL, effective December 30, 2006, it has emerged as the sixth largest bank in Pakistan in terms of total assets. The bank has a network of 115 branches across 22 cities. The BOD of SCBPL mainly comprises personnel holding key positions in Standard Chartered Group. The bank’s CEO has an extensive local and international banking experience. He has been with the group since 1991, and has held various senior positions, including the CEO of Pakistan’s operations since July 2003. Prior to the merger, SCB’s Pakistan Operations has developed a strong foothold in consumer and wholesale banking, and offers a wide range of products and services. Union Bank’s niche in Consumer and SMEs segments synchronize well with the overall business model of the new entity. SCBPL has made appreciable progress towards integration of the two entities in a quick time. After the merger, SCBPL has acquired all the assets and liabilities of Union Bank Limited, including its three listed unsecured subordinated TFCs. The first TFC (PKR 750mln) was issued during December 2002 for a tenor of 51/2 years at a floating rate of latest cut-off yield on 5 year PIB plus 225bps with a floor of 11.00% and a cap of 15.50%. Major Principal Redemption will be in three installments, commencing from June 2007. Credit Rating of Standard Chartered the Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) has assigned a long-term rating of “AAA” (Triple A) and a short-term rating of “A1+” (A One Plus) to Standard Chartered Bank (Pakistan) Limited (SCBPL). The bank’s three listed, subordinated TFCs are also assigned “AAA” rating. These ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk emanating from an exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. The ratings remain subject to a formal review by PACRA on release of audited financial statements for the year 2006. The ratings reflect the bank’s sound financial profile, a leading market position, robust risk management systems, and a quality management team. At the same time, PACRA recognizes the financial strength and international profile of the parent – Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) – in the banking industry and continuing strong support to SCBPL. The intrinsic value of group support is to be seen in the context of the strong international rating of SCB. Going forward, the management aims to position the bank for sustained growth in the fast changing market dynamics with strong emphasis on proactive risk management. In this regard, it has plans to further expand its outreach, especially focusing on non-metropolitan cities. Although the business strategy of the bank focuses on relatively high-growth segments, this is well in line with the business model of the Standard Chartered Group, which primarily operates in these segments in more than 50 countries in Asia Pacific Region, South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. SCBPL has strong capitalization levels. Meanwhile, the asset quality is robust, evidenced by low NPLs to gross finances ratio. The risk management framework, service standards, support systems and processes employed by the bank are of high quality, common to other group entities. The group exercises a high degree of supervision and provides support through an established structured mechanism. Given the increasing importance of the operations in Pakistan in the overall business of the Group, the degree of support available to the bank is expected to be substantially high.
