DUBLIN/LONDON, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Allied Irish Banks
<ALBK.I>, once Ireland's biggest lender, might have to cut the
sale price of its $2.2 billion stake in M&T Bank Corp <MTB.N>
after Spanish lender Santander <SAN.MC> walked away.
AIB <ALBK.L> shares were down 4.2 percent at 1100 GMT. M&T
bank shares fell 5 percent in U.S. morning trading.
AIB said on Tuesday that it would sell its 22 percent stake
in M&T in a public offering underwritten by Morgan Stanley and
Citigroup. The sale is expected after the close of markets on
Wednesday, an underwriter said.
The decision came after AIB failed to sell to Santander.
The Spanish company last month agreed to buy the Irish bank's
70 percent stake in Bank Zachodni <BZWB.WA>, Poland's third
largest bank, as part of a 3.1 billion-euro deal.

You are obviously uninformed or have your own agenda. If the latter is correct stop posting!

We don't know whether they will sell during after hours or not. We also don't know whether they have sold any yet. The article states that it has to be approved first, but we're having untold volume, thus I believe they are already selling. I don't believe what they stated. This smells more fishy than a lesbian bar.

They're not going to sell AIB stock after hours. It is a public offering. If it is not a private placement it will be sold during the day when trading is active, not after hours when it's illiquid.
And furthermore, they didn't sell any yet. So MS did not sell any after hours yesterday. -
lol. looks like you were wrong, ryan. The article specifically stated that Morgan Stanley would offer their 22% share of MTB stock for sale at public offering after yesterday's close.

They're not going to wait until after hours to sell, they would have sold today. If there was a reason for a stock to go down, this would be it. A large shareholder liquidating their position. If the market truly is efficient, it wouldn't have fallen so much today, and it won't selloff because AIB sells it's stock in public offerings.
