UniCredit says it owns 47.59% of Commerzbank after takeover offer

Italian bank says results are well ahead of original expectations

UniCredit said Wednesday that it owns

47.59% of Commerzbank after acquiring 17.60% of its stock with

its takeover offer for the German bank.

Italy's second-biggest lender said the result was "well ahead of

original expectations" for the offer, which was launched in May

and closed earlier this month after a two-week extension of the

tender period.

UniCredit started to acquire the German bank's stock in 2024 and

had taken its stake up to close to 30%, the threshold at which

German law requires a full buyout offer before it can be

crossed.

UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel had said he did not expect the offer

to give it control of Commerzbank, but was part of an effort to

end a long impasse and to get there in the long term.

Commerzbank and the German government, which owns around 12% of

the bank, are staunchly opposed to the takeover.
