We need to seek clearance from the government before the listing can take place and we are currently engaging them, our financial advisors are actually engaging government to ensure that that is done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) in December 2015 launched the Initial Public Offer (IPO) after several failed attempts to launch the offer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bank at the time stated that it expected to raise about 390 million cedis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It however extended the deadline from February to March when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved an additional 100 million cedis for the IPO.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Mr. Atefoe, the extension was favourable as it allowed for more retail purchases of the shares.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He added that the IPO was oversubscribed by over nine percent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe amount the IPO sought to raise was oversubscribed by over nine percent; we sought to raise about 390 million cedis but we got over 430 million cedis. The extension period really worked as we got a lot of participation and interest across board; a lot of individuals as well as companies. So the extension was very good for us,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Solomon Adu Atefoe told\u00a0<strong>Citi Business News<\/strong>\u00a0proceeds from the IPO will be used to pay off the BoG\u2019s shares, finance the expansion of branches of the bank as well as enhance IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By: Pius Amihere Eduku\/citibusinessnews.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attempts by the Agricultural Development Bank (adb) to list on the domestic bourse may take a little longer than expected as the bank is yet to get government\u2019s approval.
