Dutch merchant bank NIB Capital said on Wednesday it had not decided whether to merge or to float after a report Fortis and GE Capital had both made 2 billion euro ($2.64 billion) takeover bids.
An NIB Capital spokeswoman would not say if the merchant bank had received bids from Benelux financial group Fortis and the financial services arm of General Electric Co., as reported in Dutch daily Het Financieele Dagblad.
