 "Canara Bank sells 13.45% stake in Can Fin Homes")
Indian state-run lender Canara Bank Ltd has sold a 13.45 per cent stake in Housing finance arm Can Fin Homes Ltd to Singapore-based Caladium Investment Pvt Ltd for 7.54 billion rupees ($113.12 million), it said on Friday.
The divestment is seen as a part of the monetisation process of non-core assets of Canara Bank, the company said in a statement to the exchanges.
Caladium Investment, which is an affilate of Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC, will buy about 3.6 million Can Fin Homes' shares at 2105 rupees each, a premium of about 8.4 per cent, as of Thursday's close.
As of Dec 31, 2016, Canara Bank owned 43.45 per cent stake in Can Fin Homes, according to data on the BSE website.
