JPMorgan to Buy All MF Global's LME shares
November 25, 2011
JPMorgan has agreed to buy all the MF Global's shares in the London Metal Exchange, according to KPMG, administrators for MF Global's U.K. unit. The company is paying £25 million for 600,000 Group A shares, which give JPMorgan voting rights in the company. In addition, the bank is buying 25,000 Group B shares with no voting rights for £2 million. The £25 million deal values the London Metal Exchange at £530 million to £560 million, although JPMorgan bought the position at a discount, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
With the deal, JPMorgan, which already owns 6.2 percent of the company, would be the largest shareholder of the exchange, with a 10.9 percent stake. The purchase puts JPMorgan in prime position to benefit from any future sale of the large metal marketplace.
Goldman Sachs, which holds a 9.5 percent, is the London Metal Exchange’s second-largest shareholder.
Meanwhile, the administrator for the MF Global U.K. business continues to progress on the sale of several aspects of that office. For more info, go to [Dealbook, 11/23/11]
