Unicredit denies MPS voices “Speculative and unjustified”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The recent rumors and clamor about MPS participation are speculative and unjustified, as well as the hypotheses related to the alleged interest in the purchase of other investments. It is regrettable to have to intervene again to deny voices that are pure invention and have no other effect than to feed confusion and distortions on the market.” Thus Unicredit in a note, underlining that it has “always stated clearly that M&A operations are a strategic tool for the Group. The role of the internal team dedicated to M&A operations is to evaluate all options, both within and potentially outside the geographical perimeter of the Group.”.

“These activities involve, at any time, interlocutions, analysis and preliminary evaluations on potential targets, elements that do not imply in any way the concrete possibility that an operation is actually implemented. The decision to proceed or not with any M&A operation – Unicredit concludes – is based solely on the capacity of the potential objective not only to integrate into the UniCredit strategy, but also to meet our repeatedly declared financial performance parameters.”.
