TORONTO — Shares of Canadian Western Bank surged 70 per cent in early trading after it announced that it had struck an all-stock deal to be acquired by National Bank of Canada in an agreement that valued it at about $5 billion.

CWB shares were up $17.61 at $42.50 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Wednesday. National Bank shares were down $6.31 at $110.03.

The deal announced after the close of trading on Tuesday will see Quebec-focused National Bank expand its geographic reach in Alberta and British Columbia, where CWB is concentrated. CWB is expected to maintain its branch locations as well as its Edmonton-based leadership and operations. The deal comes just months after Royal Bank closed its $13.5-billion purchase of HSBC Canada in the country's largest-ever domestic banking deal.This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 12, 2024.
