Barclays agrees to pay 795 million pounds to split with Barclays Africa

Reuters

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Barclays PLC (BARC.L) has agreed to pay Barclays Africa 12.8 billion rand (794.86 million pounds) to fund investments required to separate it from its African unit, Barclays Africa said on Thursday.

Sealing the separation agreement terms paves the way for the British bank to reduce its stake to below 50 percent under a strategy which will see it focus on the United States and Britain.
