LaSalle sparks and the tussle begins!


IIPM PUBLICATION

The acquisition of LaSalle Bank doesn’t seem to be a smooth ride for the Bank of America. The latter, which had announced to buy LaSalle Bank Corp. and its subsidiaries from ABN AMRO Holding NV for $21 billion, is all set to face a bumpy way ahead. And the credit for all goes to a Dutch shareholders’ group VEB. Th e group is planning to file a suite to hold up the planned buyout to give other banks a fair bidding prospect for ABN AMRO Holding NV. Recently, a consortium of banks had placed a higher counter-bid for the same against the Barclays Plc’s offer of $88.5 billion. However, the acquisition, if completed, will make the Bank of America as Chicago’s largest bank and the third largest in the United States. Well, good bargains are not the easy ones!
