Barclays shares drop after stake sale
Shares in Barclays fell 14% after one of the bank’s largest Middle Eastern investors sold its entire shareholding in the UK bank in one of London’s biggest-ever stock placings. International Petroleum Investment Company, the investment vehicle of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan, a member of Abu Dhabi’s royal family, sold 1.3bn Barclays shares to 220 institutional investors at a price of 265p, a 17% discount to the previous closing price.
