MPS Weighs Share Swaps to Defend Against Intesa | Business and Finance News
Description
MPS is fighting back against Intesa Sanpaolo’s 36-billion-euro takeover bid by exploring bold alternatives — including potential share swaps with Banco BPM and Banca Generali. CEO Luigi Lovaglio warns that dismantling MPS’s commercial network would slash its value, echoing Prime Minister’s stance to preserve the bank’s integrity. Though BPM once eyed a merger with MPS, Credit Agricole’s lukewarm response killed that plan. Now, with shareholder approval required under Italian rules, MPS is racing to find a strategic path forward — all while Intesa watches closely.
