PRESS RELEASE
10 January 2018
Accelerated bookbuild offering of 24.3 million existing shares
in OneSavings Bank Plc
Further to the announcement released on 9 January 2018,
Citigroup Global Markets Limited ("Citi") and Credit Suisse
Securities (Europe) Limited ("Credit Suisse") announce that funds
managed and advised by J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC (the "JCF Funds")
have sold approx. 24.3 million shares in OneSavings Bank Plc,
representing approx. 10% of the share capital in the company. The
shares were sold at 390 pence per share, equating to gross proceeds
of approx. GBP95 million for JCF Funds.
The proceeds of the Placing are payable in cash on usual
settlement terms, and closing of the Placing is expected to occur
on a T+2 basis on 12 January 2018, subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of certain customary conditions. Citi and Credit Suisse are
acting as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners in the
transaction and N M Rothschild & Sons Limited ("Rothschild") is
acting as the sole financial adviser to J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC
on the transaction.
As previously disclosed, a number of existing shares in
OneSavings Bank Plc held on behalf of the JCF Funds equal to
approx. 9% of the number sold under the bookbuild process
("Investor Shares") have been distributed to certain investors in
the JCF Funds ("Investors"). For the avoidance of doubt, these
Investor Shares are separate and in addition to the shares sold
under the bookbuild arrangements.
Lock-up commitments for the period from the closing of the
transaction until the release of OneSaving's Bank's Preliminary
Results for 2017, subject to certain customary exceptions, have
been given by the JCF Funds.
OneSavings Bank Plc will not receive any proceeds from the
transaction.
