BEIJING, Jan 1 Asia Pulse - China Construction Bank (CCB) (SEHK:0939), one of the country's "Big Four" state-owned commercial banks, announced it has completed the acquisition of Bank of America (Asia) Ltd, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America in Hong Kong, acquiring 100 per cent of the equity.

The branch offices and bank documents of Bank of America (Asia) Ltd will soon bear the logo and name of China Construction Bank Asia Ltd.

The two sides inked an agreement worth 9.71 billion Hong Kong dollars (US$1.25 billion) in August last year, and the deal was later approved by Chinese and overseas banking authorities and by CCB shareholders.

The bank did not disclose the changes in the board of directors of the new bank.

A joint group was set up after the acquisition to facilitate work during the interim period including an examination of corporate policy and an analysis of operating risk.
