Businesses outlined for divestment
To comply with EC State Aid requirements RBS has agreed a series of
restructuring measures to be implemented over a four year period. This will
supplement the measures in the Strategic Plan already announced by RBS. This
comprises divesting fully RBS Insurance, Global Merchant Services and RBS Sempra
Commodities. Further, the Group is to divest the RBS branch based business in
England & Wales and the NatWest branch network in Scotland, along with the
Direct SME customers across the UK. This will reduce RBS market share by 2% of
the UK retail market, 5% in the SME market and 5% of the mid-corporate market.
