The offer comprises 319.4 million existing shares priced at 4.30 pula each, according to a statement issued by the bank on Friday. Stanbic Africa Holdings, a subsidiary of South Africa\u2019s Standard Bank Group and the selling shareholder, will retain an 80 percent stake in the Botswana business after the sale.<\/p>\n

Retail investors have been allocated 63.9 million shares, while the remaining shares are reserved for institutional investors. The public offer will close on November 27, with trading expected to begin on the Botswana Stock Exchange on December 7.<\/p>\n

The bank said the listing is intended to broaden local ownership, support citizen economic empowerment and encourage wider participation in the country\u2019s capital markets. By making part of the business available to domestic investors, the offer will give individuals and institutions an opportunity to take an ownership position in a lender that has been part of the Standard Bank Group\u2019s operations in Botswana.<\/p>\n

The IPO is the third share offer on the local exchange in recent weeks, following a decade-long period without new listings. The recent activity could signal renewed interest in the market and provide a boost to efforts to attract more companies and investors to Botswana\u2019s capital markets.<\/p>\n
