Milan, 21 May (LaPresse) – In a resolution published today, Consob has approved the suspension for a period of 30 days of the voluntary public exchange offer launched by UniCredit for the ordinary shares issued by Banco Bpm. The decision ‘is necessary,’ Consob emphasises, also in light of the “uncertainty” surrounding the offer, particularly with regard to the government's use of the Golden Power: a procedural step that, according to Consob, ‘does not currently allow the recipients to reach a well-founded opinion on the offer.’
