Mwalimu Sacco will pay Equity Group up to Sh510 million for taking over the troubled Spire Bank in a deal that will see the teachers-backed lender lay off all its workers.

The deal backed by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is modelled as an asset purchase transaction. Equity will take over the assets and liabilities of Spire Bank rather than inject money into the acquisition.
