ING to split banking and insurance operations - MarketWatch
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Citing pressure from the European Commission's antitrust enforcers, ING on Monday announced a sweeping plan to break itself apart as well as to repay some of the state aid that Holland has provided.
ING /quotes/comstock/13*!ing/quotes/nls/ing (
ING 14.21, -3.16, -18.20%) /quotes/comstock/24s!e:inga (
NL:INGA 9.63, -2.03, -17.41%) said it will divest the units that comprise its insurance arm by sale or initial public offering over the next four years.
"Splitting the company is not a decision we took lightly," Chief Executive Jan Hommen said, noting the scale, capital efficiency and earnings stability benefits from the existing structure. But demands for greater transparency, simplicity and reliability took greater priority.
The moves will end up reducing ING's balance sheet by 600 billion euros when compared with Sept. 30, 2008 levels, a drop of 45%.
The E.C. also required Germany's Commerzbank /quotes/comstock/11e!fcbk (
DE:CBK 7.88, -0.25, -3.08%) to reduce its size and the Royal Bank of Scotland /quotes/comstock/23s!a:rbs (
UK:RBS 44.60, -2.48, -5.27%) and Lloyds Banking Group /quotes/comstock/23s!a:lloy (
UK:LLOY 90.15, -6.03, -6.27%) may be formally told to sell off assets after receiving state aid.
Lloyds on Monday announced the sale of a relatively small unit as reports grow that the U.K. bank is on the verge of a multi-billion-dollar rights issue.
