MPSโ Share offer Gains Traction, Surpasses 38.5% Acceptance Rate with Key Stakeholder Support
Milan, Italy – September 3,โฃ 2025 – Mediobanca‘s offer for Banca MPS has moved closer toโข success, exceeding a crucial acceptance thresholdโ of 38.5%โ as of today, September 3, 2025.โค The bolstered support includes commitments โfrom notable shareholders like Caltagirone and Benetton, signaling renewed confidence in the proposed acquisition.Thisโฃ development follows the waiver of the initial 66.7% acceptance condition once the 35%โค mark was reached, opening a new five-day window for โคfurther participation, running from September 16 to September 22,โ 2025.
The increasedโ acceptance rate is pivotal for MPS, potentially โขenabling the Tuscan bankโ to secure โadditional commitments during the extended offer period. โขThe deal’s progression is being closely โคwatched by Italian financial markets, as a prosperous takeover by mediobanca is viewed as aโ key step in stabilizing MPSโค and consolidatingโ Italy’s banking sector. The outcome willโ impact investors, employees, and the broaderโ Italian economy, with the acquisition aiming to strengthen MPS’s โcapital base and improve its long-term viability.
The decision to waiveโข the higher acceptance threshold after โฃreaching 35% allows MPS to reopen the offer for another five โคworking days, โคbeginning September 16 and concluding September 22, 2025. This โขextension provides aโข further opportunity for shareholders to tender thier shares, potentially increasing the overall acceptance โrateโข and โขsolidifying Mediobanca’s control.
