Overview of the Acrevis Bank and Regiobank Männedorf Merger
In a significant move in the Swiss banking landscape, Acrevis Bank and Regiobank Männedorf (RBM) have announced their intention to merge. The transaction, which will see Acrevis Bank absorbing RBM, is reportedly valued at SFr 25.8m ($35.2m). This consolidation is intended to bolster the capabilities of both financial institutions and continue their development under the acrevis Bank umbrella.
Details of the Stock Split and Shareholder Benefits
As a part of this arrangement, Acrevis Bank will undergo a 1:5 stock split. In this scenario, existing Acrevis shareholders will receive five shares for each one they currently hold. For RBM shareholders, the deal is even more lucrative: they will receive 17 post-split Acrevis shares per RBM share, alongside a cash payment of SFr 200. This offer represents a 29.9% premium over RBM’s volume-weighted average share price over the previous 60 trading days.
Integration and Continued Operations
Post-merger, RBM will be integrated as a branch and will operate under the new name of “acrevis Bank Männedorf”. The current location in Männedorf and all existing employees are expected to be retained, ensuring continuity of operations and minimal disruption for clients.
RBM, which currently employs 11 staff and manages SFr 439.7m in total assets (as per mid-2025 figures), will thus become part of a much larger organisation, while keeping its Männedorf branch in operation. In contrast, Acrevis Bank, headquartered in St. Gallen, holds SFr 5.1bn in assets and employs approximately 190 people across eight locations.
Regulatory Approval and Completion Timeline
Like any significant corporate transaction of this nature, the merger is subject to approval by both banks’ shareholders and regulatory authorities, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). Assuming all necessary approvals are secured, the deal is targeted for completion by the mid-year.
The transaction will be financed primarily through a capital increase by Acrevis Bank, further demonstrating the bank’s commitment to this strategic move.
By bringing together the capabilities of both banks, the merger seeks to create a more robust, resilient, and competitive entity in the Swiss banking sector. It presents a unique opportunity for both institutions to leverage their combined resources, expertise, and networks for greater market reach and operational efficiency.
