French bank Natixis said on Sunday it would simplify its finances by shedding a 20 percent stake in BPCE, a network of cooperative lenders which controls it, paving the way for higher dividends in the future. Natixis said it would sell 12 billion euros ($16.02 billion) in investment certificates through which it owned a fifth of parent company BPCE to BPCE and its cooperative shareholders.
