Corporate profile
Stanbic IBTC Holdings PLC (“Stanbic IBTC”) was incorporated as a Public Limited Liability Company on 14 March 2012. Stanbic IBTC is the holding company for the entire Stanbic IBTC Group and its subsidiaries. The Company was listed on the Floor of The Nigerian Stock Exchange on 23 November 2012, following the delisting of the Group’s erstwhile holding company, Stanbic IBTC Bank PLC (“the Bank”), pursuant to its compliance with the CBN Regulation on Banking and Ancillary Matters No. 3 of 2010.
The Bank on the other hand, was incorporated as Investment Banking and Trust Company Limited (“IBTC”), a private limited liability company, on 2 February 1989. IBTC was granted a merchant banking licence in February 1989 and commenced operations on 1 March 1989. IBTC’s merchant banking licence was converted to a universal banking licence in January 2002, pursuant to the universal banking guidelines of the Central Bank of Nigeria (“CBN”). In 2005, IBTC became a public company and its shares were listed on The Nigerian Stock Exchange (“The NSE” or “The Exchange”).
In December 2005, IBTC merged with Chartered Bank PLC and Regent Bank PLC and changed its name to IBTC Chartered Bank PLC (“IBTC Chartered”) on 25 January 2006. On 24 September 2007, IBTC Chartered merged with Stanbic Bank Nigeria Limited (“Stanbic Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Stanbic Africa Holdings Limited (“SAHL”), which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Standard Bank Group Limited of South Africa. As part of the transaction that resulted in the combination of IBTC Chartered and Stanbic Bank, SAHL acquired a majority equity stake (50.1%) in the enlarged bank, which was named Stanbic IBTC Bank PLC.
On 1 November 2012, the Stanbic IBTC Group officially adopted a Holding Company (“Holdco”) structure in compliance with CBN Regulation 3 of 2010, which requires banks to divest from non-core banking businesses or adopt a HoldCo structure.
