Why Scotiabank Delisting May Be The Worst Thing For The JSE

from Limitless Hosted by Matthew Preston & Thaon Simms

What happens when one of Jamaica's oldest banks decides it no longer wants public shareholders? Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms break down Scotia Group Jamaica's $61.50 per share buyout offer and the $56 billion scheme of arrangement that would take the bank private after 137 years on the JSE. They unpack the difference between a takeover bid and a scheme of arrangement, question whether the price reflects fair book value, and explore a possible arbitrage play before the deal closes.
