(Alliance News) - Caltagirone may bolster its stake in MPS, currently standing at 11.45%, ahead of the general meeting to renew the board of directors, La Repubblica reported on Friday.
The rumor remains unconfirmed, and any potential increase would reportedly stay below the 15% threshold.
The group returned to the bank's capital at the end of 2024 and raised its holding to 11.45% in early February. Over the past few weeks, the stock has shed approximately 15%, and Caltagirone has previously taken advantage of price pullbacks to increase its position, the newspaper added.
A showdown is looming in Siena between the board's slate, backed by Caltagirone and featuring Fabrizio Palermo, and that of PLT Holding, which is calling for the reappointment of Luigi Lovaglio. MPS has filed formal complaints with the ECB, Consob, and the Bank of Italy regarding the PLT list.
