Monte dei Paschi makes simultaneous takeover offers worth about 34 billion euros for Banco BPM and Banca Generali

Monte dei Paschi di Siena, one of Italy's largest banks, has made simultaneous all-share takeover offers worth about 34 billion euros for rival Banco BPM and private bank Banca Generali. The move is aimed at fending off a hostile bid launched in June by Intesa Sanpaolo, the country's biggest bank. Monte dei Paschi would issue 1.567 new shares for each Banco BPM share and 6.958 new shares for each Banca Generali share, valuing the two targets at about 25.3 billion euros and 8.7 billion euros respectively. As part of the transaction, Monte dei Paschi is also proposing a special dividend to shareholders worth a total of 4 billion euros. If both deals are completed, they would create Italy's third-largest banking group by assets, with a pro forma balance sheet of about 466 billion euros and total financial assets exceeding 810 billion euros, and estimated annual pre-tax synergies of about 2.6 billion euros. The offers require shareholder and regulatory approval and are expected to be completed by mid-February 2027.

The French banking group notified Italian authorities and Banco BPM that it crossed the 25% threshold, accumulating the additional stake through market purchases of shares and a derivative instrument. Crédit Agricole described the move as consistent with its strategy as a long-term investor and partner, highlighting solid industrial partnerships in consumer finance and insurance. The increase is expected to have a total impact of approximately minus 35 basis points on Crédit Agricole's CET1 ratio as of the end of the second quarter of 2026.
