First BanCorp Announces $94.8 Million Private Placement of Common Stock

Last Update: 9:00 AM ET Feb 16, 2007


SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Feb 16, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- First BanCorp today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to issue approximately 9.250 million shares of its common stock to Scotiabank , through a private placement offering, valuing the stock at $10.25 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $94.8 million. The valuation reflects a premium of approximately 5% over the volume weighted- average closing share price over the 30 trading day period ending January 30, 2007. After the investment, Scotiabank will hold 10% of First BanCorp's then outstanding common shares.
"This investment signals a vote of confidence in the financial strength of First BanCorp, in the value of the FirstBank franchise and in the professionalism and capability of our management team," said Luis Beauchamp, President and Chief Executive Officer of First BanCorp. "Scotiabank is a premier global financial institution and Canada's most international bank, and we welcome them as an institutional shareholder joining other institutional investors who hold equity positions in First BanCorp."
First BanCorp has agreed to give Scotiabank notice if any decision to commence a process involving the sale of First BanCorp during the 18 months after Scotiabank's investment is made, and to negotiate with Scotiabank exclusively for 30 days thereafter if Scotiabank so requests. In addition, during the 18-month period Scotiabank may give notice to First BanCorp providing its offer for the acquisition of the Corporation. First BanCorp has agreed to negotiate the offer received on an exclusive basis for a period of 30 days. Also, First BanCorp has agreed to give Scotiabank notice of the terms of any proposed acquisition received from a third party during the 18-month period and to allow Scotiabank five business days to indicate whether it will present a counteroffer. Finally, Scotiabank may have a non-voting observer at First BanCorp's director meetings so long as Scotiabank holds 5% of First BanCorp's stock.
Mr. Beauchamp added, "This private placement further strengthens First BanCorp's capital position, which will enhance the implementation of its corporate strategies." The private placement, which has been approved by First BanCorp's Board of Directors, and is subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to close within ninety days.
UBS Investment Bank served as placement agent and acted as First BanCorp's financial advisor in the offering.

Last Update: 7:37 AM ET Mar 6, 2007


TORONTO, March 6, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Scotiabank reported record first quarter net income of $1,020 million, exceeding $1 billion for the first time, with solid contributions from all three business lines. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.01, compared to $0.84 in the same period last year, an increase of 20%. Return on equity (ROE) climbed to 23.0%, compared to 21.6% last year.
"Our strategy of diversifying across three business lines - Domestic Banking, Scotia Capital and International Banking - continues to deliver strong, sustainable growth," said Scotiabank President and CEO Rick Waugh.
"Our International results were particularly robust, with widespread organic growth across the business and contributions from recent acquisitions in Peru and Costa Rica. Our Mexican operations continue to make a significant contribution, with very strong growth in retail loans, credit cards and mortgages.
"Domestic Banking reported continued growth in personal lending as average retail assets grew by 15%, due primarily to strong mortgage growth, including from the Maple Trust acquisition, and growth in personal revolving credit lines. There was also strong growth in deposits," Mr. Waugh said. "In addition, Wealth Management recorded solid growth in retail brokerage and mutual fund revenues.
"Results in Scotia Capital benefited from increased lending volumes in Canada, the U.S. and Europe, a continued favourable credit environment and record results in our precious metals business, although overall trading revenues were down compared to last year's record levels.
"Scotiabank's capital position remains very strong, allowing us to continue to increase returns to shareholders while maintaining the flexibility to consider a broad range of options for future growth.
"With the strong first quarter results, we are well positioned to achieve our key performance objectives for 2007."
Year-to-date performance versus our 2007 financial and operational
objectives was as follows:

1. TARGET: Earn a return on equity (ROE)(1) of 20 to 23%. For the three
months, Scotiabank earned an ROE of 23.0%.

2. TARGET: Generate growth in earnings per common share (diluted) of
7 to 12%. Our year-over-year growth in earnings per share was 20%.

3. TARGET: Maintain a productivity ratio(1) of less than 58%.
Scotiabank's ratio was 53.6 % for the three months.

4. TARGET: Maintain sound capital ratios. At 10.4%, Scotiabank's Tier 1
capital ratio remains strong by Canadian and international standards.

wie immer:

liegen lassen und weiter schlafen...seit Jahren haben die Ergebnisse nie Aufregendes gebracht, aber eben auch nie enttäuscht.

Die aktuellen Zahlen für das 1.Quartal sind hingegen sehr stark - zumindest auf den ersten Blick...habe sie noch nicht näher ansehen können.

Ist auf jeden Fall ein richtig schöner "Ruhig-Schlafen-Wert", wie ich ihn liebe...

Gruß und weiterhin viel Spaß mit BNS,

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 28.154.755 von notnormal am 06.03.07 20:45:02jou notnormal, schön, dass sich mal jemand meldet zu diesem tollen Bankwert. An Konstanz nicht zu überbieten. Der Langfristchart spricht eh Bände. Da reibt man sich die Augen...Warum da noch jemand der Deutschen bank sein geld gibt, ist mir schleierhaft.
Ich finde die zahlen auch sehr gut, aktueller Quartalsgewinn pro Aktie über 1 Dollar, wo 0,94 erwartet waren. Der Kursgewinn heute ist verhalten, wird aber die Tage, sollte es zu weiteren Korrekturen kommen, aber unterstützend wirken....Dividende kommt auch noch im April...überhaupt fast 4%, was will man mehr. 2008er KGV bei 10, Wachstum jetzt im ersten Quartal rd. 20%...wenn das nicht überzeugt zum Einsteigen oder Aufstocken!
Wahrscheinlich verhallt das alles hier bei WO, wo irgendwelche pnnystocks interessanter sind...
