St George to accept Westpac offer 8 September 2008
A report investigating the proposed takeover of St George Bank by Westpac is understood to support the deal and will be lodged with ASIC this week. Independent expert Grant Samuel was commissioned by the St George board to look in particular at issues surrounding funding and the impact on St George of dislocated financial markets. St George carries a riskier credit rating than Westpac. The St George board is expected to issue a statement this week supporting the deal. Shareholders will vote on the deal in early November. Westpac has promised to retain the brand and branch network. The competition regulator approved the proposed merger last month saying that the combined entity would still face competition from banks credit unions and building societies. Some big shareholders are believed to want the board to hold out for a higher offer. Westpac's all scrip bid is valued at $30.49 per St George share. St George closed at $30.45 on Friday.
