Intercontinental Exchange circles London Stock Exchange
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Intercontinental Exchange Inc. is considering a bid for the London Stock Exchange, looking to potentially thwart its merger talks with Deutsche Boerse.
Last month London Stock Exchange Group PLC said that it was holding discussions with Deutsche Boerse over a possible tie up. Two previous attempts to combine the European exchanges, in 2000 and 2004, failed.
ICE, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, said Tuesday that it has yet to decide whether to pursue an offer and hasn’t reached out to LSE’s board.
A firm intention to move forward in a bid for the London exchange must be made known by March 29, ICE said, to comply with industry rules.

Barclays shares dive as bank restructures, sees profit fall
– canadianbusiness.com
LONDON – Barclays saw its shares plunge Tuesday after the bank revealed plans to split itself into two, simplify its operations and cut its dividend amid weaker earnings.
The bank said its fourth quarter adjusted pretax profit, which includes one-off items like provisions to pay for mis-selling policies in the U.K., fell by more than a half to 247 million pounds ($344 million) from the year before.
The London-based firm’s restructuring plan is part of new rules to separate riskier investment banking from retail banking. Such ring-fencing is meant to keep people’s savings secure in the event of another financial crash.
The bank said it would pay a lower dividend this year and next year, leading shares to fall nearly 11 per cent to 153.30 pence.
The bank also announced plans to sell down its stake in its African operations over the next three years to a non-controlling position. Barclays Africa Group Ltd. is now 62 per cent owned by Barclays and has 12 million customers across 12 countries…
