The mother of all economic crisis may be on its way

The much-anticipated audited accounts of the bank for the year ended December 2021 confirmed he owns 2,717,282,140 shares or 7.57% of the bank making him the single largest shareholder with more than 5% ownership of the bank.

The bank’s 2022 first-quarter result which was released during the week also confirmed ownership of 2,717,282,140 shares or 7.57% of the bank’s total shares of 35,895,292,791. The disclosure in the audited accounts clarifies a protracted shareholder squabble that put into question, who the majority owner of one of the most systemic important financial institutions in Nigeria is.

Why this matters

The majority ownership of FBN Holdings had been a matter of contention since the billionaire investor announced he had taken a majority stake in the bank.

  • This triggered the intervention of Pencom, the Pension Fund regulator, and the Nigerian Exchange, the operators of the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
  • The audited account of any company is viewed as the official source of information about the company making it the single source of truth for company corporate disclosures pertaining to results, shareholder information, and general company information.
  • At 7.57%, Mr. Otedola becomes the single largest shareholder of the bank.
  • The next largest shareholder of the bank as disclosed in the financial statement is Mr. Tunde Hassan Odukale with 4.31% direct and indirect ownership combined.

Shareholder Changes

  • From the disclosures seen by Nairametrics, Mr. Hassan Odukale acquired 1,546,289,714 units between March 2021 and March 2022 as the jostle for majority ownership ratcheted up.
  • Leadway Pension also added another 133,868,296 shares taking its ownership of the company to 1.01% from 0.64%.
  • However, Mr. Otedola’s acquisition of about 2.7 billion shares remains the largest single indirect and direct shares owned by a shareholder of the bank.
  • FBN Holdings has about 31,250,501,802 or 87.06% of its shares floating down from 94.95% of shares floating.
