The document summarizes a merger between HDFC Bank and Centurion Bank of Punjab (CBoP) in 2008. HDFC Bank acquired CBoP in an all-stock deal valued at Rs 9510 crores. The merger combined HDFC Bank's 754 branches and 11,088 ATMs with CBoP's 394 branches and 452 ATMs, providing geographic expansion. While the merger faced short-term issues from CBoP's poor asset quality, long-term HDFC Bank saw growth in profits, assets, deposits and its share price as a result of the increased scale from the acquisition.
