DUBLIN, Oct 31 (Reuters) - AIB AIBG.I has bought back and cancelled stock warrants the government held in the lender for 390 million euros ($455 million), bringing the final amount the state recouped from its investment in the bank to 20.2 billion euros. The government effectively nationalised AIB Group 15 years ago at a cost of 20.8 billion euros as part of a sector-wide bailout. The state hopes to offload the last of its bank shareholdings as part of a sale announced by mortgage lender Permanent TSB PTSB.I on Thursday.
