09:35 EDTFITBFifth Third sees Q2 after-tax gain of $145M from Vantiv share sale
Fifth Third (FITB) announced that Vantiv (VNTV) recently priced a secondary offering of 38.6M shares of Class A Common Stock being sold on behalf of selling shareholders, including 15.6M shares being sold by Fifth Third. Additionally, Vantiv announced that it has entered into an agreement to repurchase 17.5M shares of the shares being sold by the selling shareholders in the offering. The combination of the sale and Vantiv’s repurchase of shares would result in an approximate 15% reduction in Fifth Third's ownership position in Vantiv, excluding warrants, the company said. Upon the settlement of this transaction, Fifth Third said it expects to recognize a pre-tax gain of approximately $225M, or approximately $145M after-tax, during Q2. Following the settlement, Fifth Third would have a remaining economic interest of approximately 28% of Vantiv’s future earnings, before consideration of the potential impact of an exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, it said.
