Qatar International Islamic Bank agreed to buy out the part of Islamic Bank of Britain it doesn’t already own for about £4.8mn ($7.7mn) as it tries to create an international Shariah-compliant lender. IBB investors will get one peny in cash for each share, QIIB said yesterday. The transaction values IBB at about £25.5mn. IBB is unprofitable, and any increase in net income will depend on future injections of capital, the Qatari buyer said. QIIB bought £20mn of shares in IBB in August, bringing its stake to about 81%.
