In February 2001, the Bank became a universal bank. In January 2005, following a successful Private Placement and an Initial Public Offer (IPO), the Bank became a Public Limited Company and was subsequently listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in May 2005. In October 2005, the Bank acquired former Lion Bank of Nigeria Plc. The Bank was also listed on the Professional Securities Market of the London Stock Exchange in 2007, following a successful US$500 million GDR offering. In 2013, following the Central Bank of Nigeria’s regulation repealing the universal banking model, Diamond Bank converted its license to an international commercial banking license. b Principal activity and business review The principal activity of the Group continues to be the provision of banking and other financial services to corporate and individual customers. Such services include granting of loans and advances, corporate finance and money market activities. The Bank currently has one operating subsidiary: Diamond Pension Fund Custodian Limited in which it has 100% ownership, and a special purpose vehicle, Diamond Finance BV. The Bank’s consolidated financial statements include the results of the operating subsidiary. Diamond Finance B.V. was incorporated on 26 February 2014 as a Structured Entity in the Netherlands for the purpose of providing subordinated foreign currency loans to Diamond Bank Plc by issuing Loan Participatory Notes to interested investors. During the year, the Bank divested its 97.07% stake in Diamond Bank S.A. The divestment is part of the Bank’s plan to align its business operations to its long-term goal of strategically focusing on the significant opportunities in the Nigerian market (see note 47 for details) Diamond Bank’s strategic objective is to be the fastest growing and most profitable technology driven retail banking franchise in Nigeria. This strategic intent requires the Bank to optimize the use of its resources which means, where necessary, divesting from its non-core assets, and focusing on the priority area, namely Nigerian retail banking. Further to this, the Directors committed to a plan to dispose of the Group's investment in Diamond Bank UK. Accordingly, the subsidiary has been presented as a disposal group held for sale. Efforts to sell the Group has been on-going and a sale is expected by year 2018. c Operating results Gross earnings of the Group from continuing operations increased from ₦184.1 billion to ₦189.6 billion and profit before income tax from continuing operations decreased from ₦3.4 billion in 2016 to a loss of ₦11.5billion during the year ended 31 December 2017.
