ADB is moving fast to ensure that it meets the new capital requirement of GHS 400 million.
The Bank is, therefore, seeking to hold an extraordinary general meeting next week to seek shareholders’ approval to raise the required funds to meet the capital level put forth by the Bank of Ghana before the December deadline.
Details of fundraising exercise
The bank is looking at raising the funds through a renounceable rights issue to raise, in the minimum, GHS 450,000,000 subject to applicable regulatory approvals.
It is also hoping to use other capital raising methods to raise the needed capital to cover any shortfall that may result from the rights issue.
ADB is also looking at the conversion of a subordinated debt of GHS150, 000,000 owed the Bank of Ghana into equity as part of the capital raising process.
