UniCredit’s Bid for Banco BPM Rejected

A recent unexpected takeover offer by UniCredit for Banco BPM has been met with resistance by the Italian lender. Banco BPM’s board of directors stated that the 10 billion-euro bid did not reflect the bank’s profitability and potential for further value creation. They also highlighted concerns about the brisk timeline of the potential merger, which could damage the lender’s legal autonomy.

This bid comes on the heels of UniCredit’s previous interest in acquiring Germany’s Commerzbank, a move that has faced opposition from the German government. Banco BPM’s board expressed worries about the uncertainty surrounding expansion plans in Germany and the potential dilution of the bank’s geographical exposure.

UniCredit CEO, Andrea Orcel, indicated that a transaction with Banco BPM would take priority over any venture with Commerzbank. UniCredit’s Milan-listed shares remained flat following the announcement, while Banco BPM’s stock saw a slight decline.

UniCredit’s offer to pay 6.657 euros per share of Banco BPM was only a slight premium on the previous closing price. Orcel described Banco BPM as a “historical target,” hinting at past attempts to merge with the bank in 2022. He emphasized the need for stronger, larger banks in Europe to boost economic development and competitiveness.

Despite UniCredit’s consolidation efforts, the Italian government has shown a lukewarm reception to the bank’s plans. Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti cautioned against engaging in multiple fronts, referencing the potential risks of pursuing both Banco BPM and Commerzbank simultaneously.

The stage was set for Italian M&A activity after Banco BPM acquired a 5% stake in Monte dei Paschi, the world’s oldest lender. This move came as the government sought to reduce its holding in the bailed-out bank. Banco BPM clarified that it had no intention of exceeding the 10% threshold in Monte dei Paschi.

Overall, Banco BPM’s rejection of UniCredit’s bid underscores the complexities and challenges of cross-border banking mergers and acquisitions. The Italian banking landscape remains dynamic, with stakeholders closely monitoring developments in the sector.
