Japan's Nomura to buy Lehman Asian operations
AFP, Tokyo
Top Japanese brokerage group Nomura Holdings has won a deal to buy the entire Asian operations of failed US investment firm Lehman Brodiers Holdings, two sources said on Monday w
"It should become official later today," one of the sources told Dow Iones Newswires, declining to specify the amount Nomura will pay.
Standard Chartered PLC and Barclays PLC also placed bids for the assets, but Nomura offered the highest price, a second person said.
The assets include all of Lehman's operations in Asia, where it employs about 3,000 people.
A Nomura spokesman declined comment and said there was no immediate plan for any announcement on the issue.
Separately. Nomura and Barclays are contending for Lehman’s European operations, a person familiar with die matter has told the news service.
Japan's Jiji Press also reported that Nomura had proposed to buy both the Asian and European units of Lehman.
Investors welcomed the reports.
Shares of the Japanese firm ended up 9.58 percent, outperforming the headline Nikkei index of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which gained 1.48 percent.
Philippine lender files rehab move for Lehman units
AFP, Manila
The Philippines' biggest lender said Monday it had asked a local court to place under rehabilitation two local units of collapsed US investment bank Lehman Brothers.
The Metropolitan Bank and TYust Co. (Metrobank) said the move was meant to ensure that both companies continued to operate normally "and defer all claims, actions and proceedings against them."
"This creditor-led rehabilitation is a preemptive move to protect the bank against possible dissipation of assets by foreign claimants," Metrobank executive vice president Vicente Cuna said in a statement.
Metrobank has a loan exposure amounting to 2.4 billion pesos (51.6 million dollars) to the two Lehman units -Philippine Investment One Inc. and Philippine Investment IXvoInc.
While both companies were currently operating normally, they could suffer setbacks in meeting financial obligations amid pressure from other creditors, Metrobank said.
It said it was confident it would recover its exposures in the two asset management companies, which are engaged in investing in non-performing assets of financial institutions.
Russia's top investment bank eyes global expansion
AFP, Monou,'
Russia's biggest investment bank on Monday said it would take advantage of global financial turmoil to expand internationally after unveiling a partnership with one of Russia's top tycoons.
"We have developed an ownership model and partnership which will give us the capital strength and the liquidity to fully exploit this unique global opportunity," said Stephen Jennings, chief executive of the Renaissance Group.
He was referring to the banking group's deal with the Onexim investment fund of billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov.
Prokhorov said Onexim had bought a 50-percent stake in Renaissance Capital for 500 million dollars (343 million euros) in a deal brought on by Russia's stock market collapse last week.
"We've been negotiating for several months. The problems of the global economy sped up the talks... Together with our partners we are ready for major expansion," including in Western markets, Prokhorov told reporters in Moscow.
