How Does the 67:100 Swap Ratio Affect ICICI Securities Shareholders?

ICICI Bank has set a swap ratio of 67:100, meaning that shareholders of ICICI Securities will receive 67 shares of ICICI Bank for every 100 shares they hold in ICICI Securities. 

This exchange ratio determines the value realisation for ICICI Securities investors as the company transitions into a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICICI Bank.

Impact on ICICI Securities Shareholders

For shareholders, the delisting and share swap will result in a transition from holding ICICI Securities shares to ICICI Bank shares. The effect of this swap ratio depends on several factors:

• Change in Holding Value – The valuation of ICICI Securities shares at the time of delisting compared to ICICI Bank’s share price will determine whether shareholders experience a gain or loss. If ICICI Bank’s stock price appreciates post-merger, shareholders could see an increase in their portfolio value.
• Liquidity and Stability – ICICI Bank is a large-cap stock, which means investors who previously held ICICI Securities shares will now own shares in a financially stable company.
• Dividend and Growth Potential – ICICI Bank has a track record of dividend payouts than ICICI Securities. Shareholders could benefit from better long-term returns due to ICICI Bank’s market position and growth prospects.
