The ECB gives the go-ahead for the Malacalza family to join Banca Carige. The Radiocor agency wrote it citing "financial sources".
Eurotower has authorized Malacalza Investimenti to become a significant shareholder of the Genoese institute.
After the go-ahead from the Ministry of Finance arrived in recent weeks, this was the last green light needed to formalize the passage of 10,5% of Carige from the Carige Foundation to the vehicle of the entrepreneurial family.
Malacalza Investimenti is each 48% owned by the brothers Davide and Mattia Malacalza, while their father Vittorio holds a 4% stake.
Once the transfer of the package to Malacalza is complete, the Carige Foundation (which until the last shareholders' meeting held 12,5%) will have a stake of around 2% in its portfolio and will therefore become the fifth shareholder of Carige after Malacalza Investimenti , Bpce (9,9%), Ubs (4,7%) and Gabriele Volpi (about 2%).
