The public exchange and purchase tender offer for Mediobanca launched by Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS) has concluded with acceptances representing 62.29% of the bank’s share capital. This result allows the Siena-based bank to surpass the 50% threshold required to secure an absolute majority at shareholder meetings and, consequently, legal control of Mediobanca, headquartered at Piazzetta Cuccia. On the final day of the offer, a further 134,114,712 shares were tendered, equivalent to approximately 16.5% of the capital. However, as communicated by the Italian Stock Exchange, this figure is expected to increase further during a scheduled reopening of the offer period, which is set to run from September 16 to 22.
