Bank of Nova Scotia received regulatory approval for the second part of its investment in KeyCorp, bringing its total stake in the U.S.-based financial services company to 14.9%.
The Canadian financial institution said Friday that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System gave its approval for the second part of the investment worth about an 10% additional.
In mid-August, Scotiabank first announced it would acquire the pro-form minority ownership stake in the company for $2.8 billion investment.
KeyCorp, which is based out of Cleveland, Ohio, operates about roughly 1,000 branches across 15 states and has $187 billion in assets. The company offers commercial and retail banking, as well as investment advice and services.
Scotiabank and KeyCorp expect to close the additional investment this year.
