Consequently, the board and management of Titan Trust Bank Limited wish to make the following clarifications to set the records straight,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn December 18, 2021, Titan Trust Bank Limited (on the buy side) signed a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Atlas Mara Limited, Union Global Partners Limited, Emeka Emuwa, Standard Chartered Bank, Montane Partners West Africa Limited, TLG Africa Growth Impact Fund, and Sanlam Life Assurance Limited on the sale side (otherwise referred to as the \u201cbulk shareholders\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bulk shareholders together owned 93.41% of Union Bank\u2019s issued ordinary share capital. The SPA was a product of a long and tortuous due diligence process that involved leading financial and technical advisers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTitan Trust Bank engaged reputable firms like PricewaterhouseCoopers Limited (or PWC) for the financial due diligence, Drey Law Practice (DLP) for the legal due diligence, Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF) UK as legal Advisers and Citibank London as financial\/Transaction Advisers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the firm, the bulk shareholders also engaged a prominent UK law firm \u201cof White &amp; Case as their Legal advisers on the transaction\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The lender argued that the acquisition was conducted in the most professional, open, and transparent bidding process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe acquisition was funded by a combination of debt ($300 million) and additional equity injection of about $190 million which was contributed by TTB\u2019s two major shareholders \u2013 Magna International DMCC, and Luxis International DMCC,\u201d Titan Trust said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Certificates of Capital Importation (CCI) for both the debt and the equity financing evidencing the receipt of these funds into Nigeria by legal means have been made available where requested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe $300 million acquisition facility is sourced from Afreximbank and is priced on SOFR with a margin of 6.25% (all together almost 12% pa) and a moratorium period of 30 months. TTB has paid interest on the loan for three interest periods (18 months so far).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the bank said there was \u201cno illegality or fraud\u201d in the acquisition and merger with Union Bank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe slow pace of TTB\u2019s acquisition and ultimate merger with Union Bank has been because of TTB\u2019s and the regulators\u2019 determination to ensure that the process remains fully compliant with extant laws, meets best global practices, and is conducted openly and transparently,\u201d Titan Trust added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bank clarified that Godwin Emefiele, the former CBN governor, has no ownership ties with the institution Titan Trust Bank has refuted allegations of wrongdoing in its acquisition of Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.
