In an exchange filing on November 30, the company notified that the NSE has conveyed its 'no objection' to ICICI Securities to file the draft scheme of arrangement with National Company Law Tribunal.
ICICI Bank will issue ICICI Securities equity shares to the public, thereby making ICICI Securities a wholly owned subsidiary.
"The scheme of arrangement is subject to receipt of requisite approvals from shareholders and creditors of ICICI Bank and ICICI Securities. It will need the nod from National Company Law Tribunal and other regulatory and statutory authorities under the applicable law as well as compliance with the terms and conditions as mentioned in the aforesaid letters received from NSE and BSE," said the filing.
Earlier, on November 9, ICICI Bank received an approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to make ICICI Securities its wholly owned subsidiary. The lender had announced plans of delisting ICICI Securities on June 26.
Explaining the rationale behind the decision, ICICI Bank on June 26 said, "ICICI Securities is a low capital-consuming business, and the internal accruals are more than adequate to fund business growth. ICICI Bank is not expected to be required to make additional capital infusion into the company."
