Lloyds TSB and HBOS announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended acquisition by Lloyds TSB of HBOS. Under the terms of the acquisition, HBOS Shareholders will receive 0.83 Lloyds TSB Shares for every 1 HBOS Share.
The offer values HBOS at £12.2 billion (based on Lloyds TSB’s closing price on 17 September 2008 of 279.75 pence). Existing Lloyds TSB Shareholders will own approximately 56 per cent. of the issued share capital of Lloyds TSB as enlarged by the Acquisition and existing HBOS Shareholders approximately 44 per cent.
Lloyds TSB's intention is that the combination will strengthen its ability to serve UK customers in these difficult markets. Specifically Lloyds TSB intends that new lending by the new combined bank for both UK mortgages and SMEs will continue at least at current levels and will expand as market conditions improve.
