Union Bank of Nigeria Plc was established in 1917 as Colonial Bank with its first branch inLagos. In 1925, Barclays Bank acquired the Colonial Bank, which resulted in the change of 

the Bank's name to Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) or Barclays Bank (D CO). Following the enactment of the Companies Act 1968 and the legal requirement for allforeign subsidiaries to be incorporated locally, Barclays Bank (D C O) in 1969 wasincorporated as Barclays Bank of Nigeria Limited (BBNL). The ownership structure of BBNL

remained unchanged until 1971 when 8.33% of BBNL‟s shares were offered to Nigerians. Inthe same year, BBNL was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. As a result of the NigeriaEnterprises Promotion Act of 1972, the Federal Government of Nigeria acquired 51.67% of 

the BBNL‟s shares, which left Barclays Bank Plc, London with only 40%. By the enactment

of the 1972 and 1977 Nigeria Enterprises Promotion Acts, Barclays Bank Internationaldisposed its shareholding in BBNL to Nigerians in 1979. To reflect the new ownershipstructure and in compliance with the Companies and Allied Matters Act of 1990, it assumed

the name Union Bank of Nigeria Plc (UBN “the Bank” or “Union Bank”).

In consonance with the government's programme of privatization and commercialization of public enterprises, the Federal Government in 1993 sold its shares in Union Bank to privateindividuals. Thus, Union Bank became fully owned by Nigerian citizens and organizations.

During the Central Bank of Nigeria's banking sector consolidation policy, Union Bank of Nigeria Plc acquired the former Universal Trust Bank Plc and Broad Bank Ltd and absorbedits erstwhile subsidiary Union Merchant Bank Ltd.

Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) intervened in the management of the Bank on August 14

2009, replaced the Executive Management Team, and appointed a five-man interimmanagement team to stabilise and recapitalise the Bank.

Full recapitalization of the Bank was achieved in December 2011 with the injection of $500million into Union Bank by Union Global Partners Limited (UGPL) after the Asset

Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) had provided capital in the sum of N46.93BN tobring the Bank‟s Net Assets Value to zero.The Bank is now owned 65% by UGPL; 20% by AMCON; and 15% by a diverse group of 

shareholders. UGPL, a consortium of strategically aligned group of investors, is the Bank‟score investor group and consists of: 

  African Capital Alliance   ADC African Development Corporation   Corsair Capital   FMO (the Netherlands Development Finance Company)   Richard Chandler Corporation   Standard Chartered Private Equity 

Following recapitalization, Fitch, the London based global rating agency in 2012 has

upgraded Union Bank‟s Viability Ratio (VR) from “C” to “CCC” which acknowledges the

restoration of the Bank to solvency through the injection of capital from AMCON and thecore investor. Fitch‟s rating action was as follows: 

  Long-term foreign currency IDR: affirmed at „B+‟. Stable Outlook

In line with the renewed emphasis on domestic production, the Bankers' Committee had come up with an initiative known as the Small and Medium Industries Equity Investment Scheme(SMIEIS). The Scheme required banks to set aside 10% of their annual profit before tax forinvestment in the real sector of the economy. Real sector financing under this initiative covers thefollowing activities:

   Agro Allied Industries   Information Technology and Telecommunication   Manufacturing    Educational Establishments   Services    Tourism   Solid Minerals   Construction and any other activity as may be determined from time to time by the Bankers'

Committee.
