Abu Dhabi-listed Finance House is to buy privately-owned investment bank CAPM Investment to expand into investment banking and asset management, three sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
Under an agreement between the two parties, Finance House will acquire CAPM's investment banking and asset management licence, offering a premium of between 5 to 10 percent to the value of those businesses, one of the sources said speaking on condition of anonymity.
CAPM was capitalised at 100 million dirhams ($27.2 million). Its liquid assets are estimated at around 40 million dirhams while the brokerage business is valued at around 55 to 60 million dirhams, the source said. However, the brokerage business is excluded from the deal as it will be wound up.
