Investing.com -- Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A. (BMPS) on Monday said has concluded its voluntary public tender and exchange offer for all shares of Mediobanca – Banca di Credito Finanziario Società per Azioni, securing a total of 86.3% of the bank’s share capital. 

Shares of Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena were up 1.3% and Mediobanca were down 2.1% at 03:46 ET (07:46 GMT) on Tuesday.

The reopening of the acceptance period ended Monday at 5:30 p.m. Italian time, according to a press release from BMPS.

During the reopening, 195,477,410 Mediobanca shares, representing roughly 24% of the bank’s total share capital, were tendered in acceptance of the offer.

Combined with 506,633,074 shares tendered during the initial acceptance period, as well as 31,996 shares held directly by BMPS, the Italian lender will hold 702,142,480 Mediobanca shares after the payment date, September 29, 2025.

The offer had been amended on September 2, 2025, to include a cash component of €0.90 per Mediobanca share, in addition to newly issued BMPS shares, as outlined in the offer document approved by Italy’s financial regulator, Consob, in July.

Payment of the overall consideration, consisting of both the cash and BMPS shares, is scheduled for September 29, 2025.

Despite the high level of acceptance, the conditions required for the delisting of Mediobanca shares under Italian law were not met.

Mediobanca shares will continue to trade on Euronext Milan. BMPS will announce the final results of the reopening by 7:29 a.m. on September 26, 2025, in accordance with the Issuers’ Regulation.

The tender and exchange offer was conducted under Articles 102 and 106 of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 1998 and regulated by Consob under Resolution No. 11971 of 1999, as subsequently amended.
