Montepaschi's stock shines this morning in Piazza Affari, which, about an hour and a half after the start of trading, leads the Milanese stock market with an increase of more than 7% and a price that reaches 0,3858 euros per share.
Meanwhile, the tension is rising for the renewal at the top of the institute, expected for the next month of April. A clear request for discontinuity came directly from the mayor of Siena, Franco Ceccuzzi. Alessandro Profumo is indicated as the favorite to occupy the seat of the presidency, but the game is not over yet.
On the shareholding front, the Equinox fund led by Salvatore Mancuso has not yet formalized an offer to take over a share of the Bank (we are talking about 12%) from the MPS Foundation. As part of the restructuring of the one billion euro debt, the Foundation has decided to sell 15% of the institute.
Equinox said it was willing to invest 500 million, however against guarantees on the future governance of Rocca Salimbeni and an industrial plan that characterizes the financial intervention. Even the Hourglass background, led by Claudio Sposito, e Apax Partners for now, they have generally expressed their willingness to invest in the institute.
