TIMELINE OF INTERMARKET FATE
In 2004, Mr Vingirai “flees” Zimbabwe after being accused of externalisation. In 2006, through a scheme of arrangement, ZB ultimately assumes a 51 percent stake from the RBZ, which had helped bailout Intermarket. THL (Mr Vingirai’s investment vehicle which formerly held 72 percent in IHL) was diluted to 15,42 percent. Notably, the sale of IHL stake of ZBFH was concluded in November 2006 at the price of Z $5 billion, with the former becominga controlling shareholder with a 60 percent stake. THL seeks legal recourse for being denied the right to follow its pre-emptive rights. November 14, 2011, Mr Vingirai returns to Zimbabwe and is arrested at the Harare International Airport. In October 2012, former RBZ Governor writes a letter urging the return of the banker’s assets.
