Barclays PLC said Thursday that it has sold 63 million shares in
Absa Group Ltd. for 169.0 South African Rand a share, raising
ZAR10.66 billion ($622.6 million) and increasing its CET1 ratio by
four basis points.
The U.K. bank, which said late Wednesday that it was selling its
remaining 7.4% shareholding in Absa, sold the shares via an
accelerated bookbuild program.
Barclays said that it will book a loss of GBP31 million ($36
million) in its accounts from the sale.
It plans to use the money raised for general corporate
purposes.
