Metro Bank Reportedly Receives Takeover Approach from Pollen Street Capital The high street lender Metro Bank Holdings PLC (LSE:MTRO) has been approached about a private equity-backed takeover in a move that could lead to the disappearance of another company from the London Stock Exchange. Sky News has learnt that Metro Bank was approached in the last fortnight about an offer to take it private spearheaded by the financial services-focused buyout firm Pollen Street Capital Limited. Pollen Street is one of the major shareholders in Shawbrook, the mid-sized bank which in the past has approached Metro Bank about a merger of the two companies. In recent months, Shawbrook's owners have stepped up efforts to identify a prospective corporate combination, holding tentative talks with Starling Bank about a £5 billion tie-up, while also drawing up plans for a stock market listing. The takeover approach to Metro Bank comes as it puts a traumatic period in which it came close to insolvency firmly behind it. In November 2023, the lender was rescued through a £925 million deal comprising £325 million of equity - a third of which was contributed by Jaime Gilinski Bacal, a Colombian billionaire - and £600 million of new debt. Mr. Gilinski now holds a near-53% stake through his investment vehicle, Spaldy Investments, and sits on the company's board. Announcement • Apr 23

Santander May Look into Potential Acquisition of Metro Mortgage Portfolio Banco Santander, S.A. (BME:SAN) may consider looking into acquiring a mortgage portfolio from Metro Bank Holdings PLC (LSE:MTRO) (Metro) if the British bank decides to put it up for sale, the Spanish bank’s Chief Executive Officer Hector Grisi said on October 25, 2023. Metro, seeking to bolster its finances after a string of setbacks, earlier this month announced a GBP 325 million capital raise and GBP 600 million debt refinancing. The bank also said it was in discussions regarding the sale of up to GBP 3 billion ($3.64 billion) of residential mortgages. “We have to review it, we have to analyse it and then we will make a decision whether we go ahead or not, but it is always important to analyse it,” Grisi said when asked at a news briefing about the bank’s potential interest in the portfolio. “Today the truth is that I don’t know whether Metro will end up doing something or not, whether it will sell a portfolio or not”.
