The
Board of Directors of ICICI Bank

approvals, approved the transfer of ICICI Bank’s

Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited, ICICI Lombard General Insurance
Company Limited, ICICI

Company Limited and ICICI Prudential Trust Limited to a proposed new

Further,
as intimated vide a stock

offers from investors for subscription to
equity shares of the
proposed new subsidiary and for entering into definitive agreements for
this
purpose. The arrangement was subject to receipt of regulatory and other

the Foreign Investment Promotion Board, and was to terminate failing
receipt of
all such approvals within a mutually agreed date. As the agreed date

with respect to the offers stands
terminated.
