Zdaj je uradno: britanska država je prevzela približno 60-odstotni delež Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in 40-odstotni delež (združenih) HBOS in Lloyds TSB. Delnice, ki jih prevzema država v zameno za jamstva in dobrih 45 milijard evrov svežega kapitala, očitno ne bodo prednostne, kakor je bilo slišati še prejšnji teden, ampak bo država oziroma vlada v uprave bank imenovala tudi svoje predstavnike. Dosedanji vodilni menedžerji se že poslavljajo.

• RBS (£17bn): Chief executive Sir Fred Goodwin is replaced by Stephen Hester; Chairman Sir Tom McKillop will leave next year; Government will own around 60% of the business; No executive bonuses this year; No dividend until the government’s £5bn of preference shares are repaid; Government will appoint three directors; RBS will maintain mortgage lending at 2007 levels.
• Lloyds TSB (£5.5bn): Takeover of HBOS renegotiated downwards; Goverment will own up to 43.5% of the combined group; HQ will stay in Scotland; Directors will be asked to receive this year’s bonus in shares; No dividend until preference shares are repaid; Government will appoint two directors; Lloyds will maintain mortgage lending at 2007 levels for next three years.
• HBOS (£11bn): Chief executive Andy Hornby and chairman Dennis Stevenson will both leave when Lloyds takeover goes through; Shareholders will own 20% of the combined Lloyds-TSB/HBOS.

Kako je že rekel tisti Dalmatinec, ki mu je ameriški poslovnež predlagal, naj namesto, da leži in opazuje sončne zahode, gara, da si bo lahko kupil večjo ribiško barko in nato floto, iz dobička pa zgradil lepo hišo in s terase gledal na morje? Ajme, a ča radin sad? Glidan na more, e!
