Banco Desio Clears Key Regulatory Hurdle in Tender Offer for SCM

Banco di Desio e Della Brianza SPA ( (IT:BDB) ) just unveiled an update.

Banco di Desio e della Brianza has obtained unconditional authorisation from the Bank of Italy to acquire a direct controlling interest in Solutions Capital Management SIM S.p.A., while Brianza Unione di Luigi Gavazzi e Stefano Lado S.A.p.A. has been cleared to acquire an indirect controlling stake. With this regulatory approval, a key condition for Banco Desio’s voluntary full public tender offer for SCM’s ordinary shares has been fulfilled, paving the way for Consob to approve the offer document and moving the deal closer to completion, which could expand Banco Desio’s footprint in investment services and strengthen its competitive positioning in the Italian market.

Consob is expected to approve the offer document within five days following the Bank of Italy’s authorisation, after which the full terms and procedures of the tender offer will be formally disclosed to the market. Until publication of that document, stakeholders and SCM shareholders are directed to the offeror’s prior communication for details on the legal basis, conditions and key elements of the transaction, while the bank reiterates that the communication is not, in itself, an offer or solicitation to buy or sell securities outside the boundaries permitted by applicable laws.

The most recent analyst rating on (IT:BDB) stock is a Hold with a EUR9.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Banco di Desio e Della Brianza SPA stock, see the IT:BDB Stock Forecast page.
