Prudential in talks to sell off Egg stake
Expectations that Prudential could dispose of all or part of its 79% holding in the online - but loss-making - bank have been rife for at least 12 months.
City of London traders named MBNA as the most likely buyer following market talk last year that the Delaware-based group had expressed interest in Egg. Royal Bank of Scotland, HBOS and National Australia Bank were also said to be the kind of companies that might be interested in purchasing Egg as a vehicle to market their own products online.
