ReutersFormer Monte Paschi executives acquitted over derivatives case
MILAN (Reuters) -An Italian appeals court on Monday acquitted three former top executives of Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena in one strand of a long-running derivatives case, boosting the earnings prospects of the state-owned lender. The court ruling, which overturns an earlier conviction, reduces the legal risks facing bailed-out Monte dei Paschi (MPS), in which the state still has a 39% holding after selling a 25% stake last month for 920 million euros ($989 million). The Italian state must eventually exit MPS's capital in full in order to comply with European Union rules on state aid.
ReutersItaly govt could use MPS model as template for other privatisations - minister
The placement of a 25% stake in Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS) by Italy's Treasury earlier this week could serve as a template for Rome's strategy to cut its stake in other state-controlled companies, the economy minister said on Thursday. Asked if a stake sale or a merger was the way to further cut the state holding in MPS, Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said the bank could help the government with its broader strategy which is to boost competition in the banking sector by creating a third major player. Italy attracted strong interest from funds when it sold 25% of MPS via an accelerated book-building (ABB) for 920 million euros ($1 billion) on Monday, advancing plans to re-privatise the world's oldest bank two years after a failed first attempt.
ReutersItaly raises $1 billion from Monte dei Paschi's 25% stake sale
MILAN (Reuters) -Italy attracted strong interest from funds when it sold 25% of Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS) for 920 million euros ($1 billion) on Monday, advancing plans to re-privatise the world's oldest bank two years after a failed first attempt. The sale is a testimony to the progress Italian banks have made in cleaning up their finances, which contributed to Moody's unexpected decision on Friday to upgrade its outlook on the country's credit rating to stable from negative. It also buys Italy time to find a more permanent solution for its fifth-largest listed bank, including via a merger deal that a dearth of buyers made hard to pursue in the near term.
