RC Investment Management is selling 10.4 billion First HoldCo shares at ₦110, having bought them at ₦31 last year. The bank receives no proceeds.
First HoldCo will pay out at least 60% of profit as dividends, a policy worth roughly ₦83 billion to chairman Femi Otedola on half-year earnings.
Femi Otedola has spent another $160 million, on 1.78 billion additional First HoldCo shares, lifting his stake to $1.08 billion.
Billionaire Femi Otedola's First HoldCo closed at ₦5.78 trillion, or $4.22 billion, passing Zenith and GTCO to become Nigeria's most valuable bank.
Femi Otedola is worth about $1.7 billion, up $400 million since March, with just over half of that now sitting in a single bank stock.
Femi Otedola says he is writing a second book, Making It Bigger, a follow-up to the award-winning memoir he published in August last year.
Femi Otedola's First Bank has completed a N45 billion ($32.8 million) private placement tranche as FirstHoldCo moves toward a shareholder approved N1 trillion capital base.
Anil Dua, a non-executive director on First Bank of Nigeria's board, has bought 2.56 million First HoldCo shares worth N177.9 million ($119,000).
