British lender Close Brothers said on Friday it has agreed to sell market maker Winterflood Securities to financial services company Marex Group for approximately 103.9 million pounds ($140.20 million) in cash.
Close Brothers' total capital ratio rose by 80 basis points to 18% in the quarter to the end of April, as it bolstered its finances pending a ruling that may force the bank and others to pay out millions of pounds in redress to motor loan customers.
Shares in British lenders Close Brothers and Lloyds Banking group fell on Monday, with traders and analysts citing reports that the Treasury has been blocked from intervening into the Supreme Court review of the motor finance misselling case.
