CVC considering EUR 9B bid for Nexi, FT reports

CVC Capital Partners (CVCCF) is considering a EUR 9B bid to take Nexi (NEXXY) private after a sharp decline in its share price, though any deal would depend on support from the Italian government due to sensitivities around financial infrastructure control, The Financial Times’ Silvia Sciorilli Borrelli and Alexandra Heal report. Nexi has faced pressure from fee reductions, contract renegotiations, and fintech competition, contributing to its valuation drop and complicating takeover prospects, according to the report.
