Banken: EZB genehmigt laut Unicredit Übernahme von Commerzbank-Anteilen
Seit zwei Jahren pirscht sich die Unicredit an die Commerzbank heran. Nun gibt es von der EZB-Aufsicht eine Entscheidung für die italienische Großbank.
Munich – Unicredit has received approval from the European Central Bank (ECB) for the takeover of Commerzbank shares, according to Unicredit. The Italian banking giant can convert the Commerzbank shares it secured in a share swap offer into its own shares. The ECB has approved the takeover of control over Commerzbank, Unicredit announced.
They have been granted permission to surpass the 30 percent capital stake threshold and increase their shareholding without a ceiling. This decision marks a significant milestone in Unicredit's acquisition of Commerzbank and underscores the positive evaluation of the transaction by the ECB, citing the solid fundamental data and strong position of Unicredit within the European banking sector.
The remaining supervisory procedures and conditions for closing the offer for Commerzbank are expected to be finalized by the end of the year. At that point, Unicredit will hold around 50 percent of the voting rights in Commerzbank and will be able to take control of the bank.
